This was the first time that I have had a chance to listen to both Shane East and Grace Grant and I thought that they both did a wonderful job with this story. I really enjoyed that this book is told in alternate points of view so that I got the chance to experience the thoughts and feelings of both Christian and Elise. His personality was just magnetic and he really was a fantastic guy.

I usually fall for the Heroes in this kind of book and I had no problem falling for Christian. Elise’s past was unexpected and really did a great job of giving the reader some insight into her hesitation to put her heart at risk. I had such a great time spending time with Christian and Elise and they fell for each other and their initial meeting really set the playful tone of the story.Ĭhristian and Elise were both great characters. Most fake relationships in books quickly turn into real relationships and this book is no exception. I am finding that books with fake relationships are really working for me lately. This is one of those books that doesn’t have a whole lot of surprises but it doesn’t matter because the journey is just delightful. I am so glad that I had the chance to listen to this fun and romantic story. I have only had the chance to listen to Lauren Blakely’s books twice before starting this book but I have found all of the books I have read to be remarkably well done. This book had a lot of things going for it with a sweet and sexy story read by two excellent narrators. This was just a lot of fun! I really enjoyed just about everything about this audiobook. Turns out a full-time husband suits her needs too, and a temporary marriage of convenience ought to do the trick, until we can simply untie the knot…īut our ending was one I never saw coming. I’d have gone all-in from the start, but hey, when a gorgeous, brilliant woman invites you into her bed, and only her bed…well, I said yes.īut then, one hysterical phone call from my brother later, begging me to find myself a wife so grandfather’s business stays in the family, and I need a promotion with Elise. Let me just say, this whole part-time lover thing was her idea. Our arrangement worked well enough until the day I needed a lot more from him…

But given the way my heart had been trampled, I wanted only a simple deal - No strings.

Little did I know I’d meet him again, a year later, at a secret garden bar in the heart of the city, where I’d learn that his mind and his mouth were even more captivating. I might have looked at the shot a few dozen times. His crown jewels were far more entertaining than anything else I’d seen on the boat tour, so I did what any curious woman would do - I took his photo. When I first saw the strapping man, he was doing handstands naked on a dock along the canal. I’ll say this about Christian - he made one hell of a first impression.
