About this listen
Can an arranged marriage become the real thing?
Declan Knight knows he's marrying the wrong woman—the uglier sister. Esme is shorter, less experienced, less ambitious...just less in every way than his ex-fiancée, who decided to dump him for a tech bro.
When the merger between her father's and Declan's company is at stake due to obscure company bylaws, Esme has no choice but to step in and marry the man who loves her sister.
Esme's sister, Viviane, is a beautiful, high-flying, wealthy lawyer. Declan is the CEO of a global tech company. They are a power couple. Esme is a social worker who doesn't understand the business world and doesn't care about stock portfolios. She wants to help people. And yet, Declan can't deny the chemistry between him and Esme. They have nothing in common, except he wants her like he's never wanted a woman.
As the days pass, Esme has to find a way to enjoy Declan both in and out of bed without falling in love with him. Because when he leaves, as he inevitably will, it will destroy her. Declan is falling in love with his wife despite himself, drawn to her by her goodness and big heart. But she won't let him close, confident he'll hurt her.
Will Declan be able to convince Esme he loves her? And will Esme finally learn to fight for what she wants?

Story
I was a small-town girl with big city dreams and more ambition than money to my name. He had everything—money, privilege, and the world at his feet. Opposites in every way, but that didn’t matter. We were lightning in a bottle, and everything felt possible when we were together. Life was perfect.

Story
Emmett Lasker is impossible to work for. He might be model handsome and stupidly wealthy, but he also has it out for me. He’s given me more last-minute and weekend requests than anyone else, ruining any plans I make. I should quit. And I will. Just as soon as I hit my two-year anniversary and earn out my signing bonus. But after a particularly awful day at work, a breakup (via text!), and my computer crashing, I’ve had enough! So at 11:59 Friday night, I barge into Emmett’s office to tell him what I really think of him. Only, that’s not what happens. AT ALL.

Story
Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

Dane is a former SEAL turned CEO. Oh, how I wish CEOs weren’t that irresistible. As a self-made woman who never used her daddy’s resources, I have a ton of pride. I would never risk my career by sleeping with my boss. I would never destroy my reputation by falling into bed with my dad’s best friend. Or so I thought. Yes, I did those exact things but that’s not even the worst part. I’ve got a bigger problem to deal with. Not one but two problems. I’m having his twins, and I’m effectively panicking. Am I about to lose my heart, my career, and my sanity all at once?

Pine River was supposed to be a new start for me. And it was, especially attending school with my three overprotective cousins, who were the triplets at the top of the social hierarchy. Except they weren’t alone there, and the first day when I came to school, I saw him. Scout Raiden. Tall. Lean. Tattooed. Mesmerizing. He was a golden god with dark and piercing eyes—looking like he wanted to eat me up. The feeling was mutual, and that was a problem.

Emmett Lasker is impossible to work for. He might be model handsome and stupidly wealthy, but he also has it out for me. He’s given me more last-minute and weekend requests than anyone else, ruining any plans I make. I should quit. And I will. Just as soon as I hit my two-year anniversary and earn out my signing bonus. But after a particularly awful day at work, a breakup (via text!), and my computer crashing, I’ve had enough! So at 11:59 Friday night, I barge into Emmett’s office to tell him what I really think of him. Only, that’s not what happens. AT ALL.

I’d lost everything after my parents passed away, but Hades was there, pen in hand, for me to sign my life away to him. I could have refused, but then I’d be without a home. Without a support system, I’d be penniless. So I said yes. Hades was my guardian. I was his ward. He was cruel. I was too innocent. The longer I was in his care, and the more I saw how cruel and cold he could be, the more I wanted him.

I made a deal with my brother a long time ago to never date his teammates. Technically, Rowan Landry, the hot as hell center for the Chicago Falcons, is no longer my brother’s teammate. Or his best friend. Their college days are long behind them, and they barely talk now. Also, I’m not dating him—we’re just sleeping together. There’s a difference.

One of my Favorites...
Maya Alden is one of my topmost and most favorite authors and this is coming from a romance avid reader/ listener, so it says something, I guess. I have read the story before, well, several times and it is amazing, captivating. The pain and love, the passion and understanding, the obstacles and yet the resolutions between Esme and Declan were surpassing.. Audiobook was a beautiful surprise and yes, it again did not disappoint. The narrator was excellent, and I felt my mind has got a read aloud voice. Everything was perfect and you would not like to miss this wonderful presentation. Thank you Maya and team for bringing more such joys.

The Narration is Really Not Good
I enjoyed the story... once I got it on my kindle and read it. I almost only listen to the books I read because I just don't have time to sit down and read a book but I just couldn't listen to him any longer. First of all this book needs two narrators because there is a dual POV (one male and one female) and this guy just couldn't do a female voice. The audio was also messed up somehow, it sounded static-y like an old recording from the time of gramophones. Back to the story, the MMC was really a jerk until he changed his tune, probably half way through. Of course love is never that simple. I wouldn't ever say I loved this book which is a shame because I really loved some of her other books, but it was good. It had grovelling from both the MMC and the FMC. It's good second chance romance... if you READ IT. Seriously save your money and get the book instead.

Love the Golden Knight Series! Very Disappointing Narration.
I have read the entire GoldenKnight Series and I love all the characters. Sadly the Audio narration was super disappointing. The Narrator didn’t bother to learn to pronounce the limited Spanish vocabulary as well as several other words. Also, the voice sounds nothing as expected for the character of Declan let alone his attempts to voice Esme. I was seriously hoping the entire Golden Knight series would be available on audiobook but definitely not with this narrator.

Audiobook review.
The storyline is decent, but the narrator was sub par. Possibly the worst narration I’ve ever heard. At times, his voice was painful to listen. I believe AI would have to been better!!

Great Story, Unfortunate Narrator
Quote:📖
She wasn’t a flake, I realized, no, she was a shadow who had put up walls around her to survive because people who were supposed to love her didn’t.
Thoughts: 💡
This story was enjoyable and if you’re reading it I would give it a solid 4.5 stars. However, if you plan to listen to it I highly suggest you listen to the sample first. (You might enjoy the narrator even though I didn’t.)
The story itself is very sweet and filled with all the angst you would imagine. The MCs are like oil and water at first. Declan is a very grumpy, angry man who was jilted at the altar and forced to marry someone he felt was inferior to his ex-fiance.
Esme is a victim determined to see the bright side of life and make the world better for the people around her. Her kindness and genuinity eventually win Declan over, but that doesn’t mean won her heart or her trust.
I loved the way Maya Alden portrayed the mindset of survivors. There wasn’t some easy fix and she did a great job explaining how a victim can be locked in a cycle without ever truly realizing that they are.
Writing Mechanics: ✍️
The plot was interesting and well thought out. The MCs and supporting characters had rich back stories and carefully, and entertainingly, explained backstories. I honestly enjoyed everything about this story except the narrator.
Audio:
The sound quality was clear and precise, but the narrator was not. I love smut, but every time he started talking I cringed. I think the goal was silver fox but that is not what was delivered. The accent and volume of the narration modulated in each chapter, not in relation to the story though, it just seemed like the narrator would just run out of steam. He also attempted to use accents but the accents would switch during the chapter for the same character. This didn’t seem to be in relation to dialogue or inner monologues, it just happened randomly. I generally hate giving bad reviews but this narration was rough and I felt it hurt the story when the book itself would be amazing.
Fun Bits:
⚜️ Soo Much Angst
⚜️ Beautiful Love Story
⚜️ Great Side Characters
⚜️ Interesting Plot
⚜️ Postive Mental Health Rep
⚜️ Diverse Cast of Characters
⚜️ Adept Portrayal Of Domestic Violence &
Survivors
Important Note:✨
This is an interconnected standalone with a full story and different couple in each book.

Great Story, not great narration
Fantastic story. First time listening this author and I’m hooked and plan to read more of this series. Key word is read. The narration is terrible. There is no real distinction between male and female characters. Still worth the credit for the story but here’s hoping the next book does dual narration or chooses someone who can do better distinction between multiple characters.

Hope you like battered woman syndrome
Esme (h) is a social worker, a pushover, Irish/Mexican, size 6 but is constantly described as fat, or dark, or a doormat. Declan (H) is a superficial businessman, from a wealthy family, and he is utterly weak. He marries Esme (for a business merger) although he still loves and pines for her sister, who cheated on him AND THEN secretly married her lover WHILE betrothed to him 😬.
This heroine is the weakest, most persecuted puppet ever written. But the hero is pathetically weak too. That's rare. Two pieces of garbage. Everyone that Esme knows (or has ever met her) hates her, or is cruelly disapproving. She’s a grown, married woman but still lets her father get close enough to physically abuse her. That's the entire plot. Esme NEVER protects or defends herself, and her husband doesn’t protect her either (I mean, he can't even protect himself from her sister). Esme has absolutely NO regard for her own safety, her mental health, or her general well being. It’s kind of horrific actually, how much this woman hates herself.
The story was ... um... fine 🤬 but the writing is subpar - lots of telling, so no depth. The ‘love story’ was also thin. Did random pages get deleted before publication or something? Because idk how the H got from being A COMPLETELY HATEFUL CUCK (letting his MARRIED ex hang all over him while his wife stands there alone) to a loving husband in a blink. FYI, in the last hour the hero is STILL comforting, commiserating with, and touching his ex/SIL 🤬. Also, at the end the H has some cockamamie plan that causes his separation from the h to draaaaaaag on.
Finally, the narrator was a truly awful choice.
