Publisher's summary

The New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling novel that launches Bybee’s popular Weekday Brides series

A wife by Wednesday...a love for a lifetime

Blake Harrison

Rich, titled, and charming...and in need of a wife by Wednesday. Blake turns to Sam Elliot, who isn’t the businessman he expected. Instead, Blake is faced with Samantha Elliot, beautiful and feisty with a voice men call 1-900 numbers to hear.

Samantha Elliot

Owner of matchmaking firm Alliance and not on the marital menu...that is, until Blake offers her ten million dollars for a one-year contract. And there’s nothing indecent about this proposal. The money will really help with her family’s medical bills. All Samantha will need to do is keep her attraction to her new husband to herself and avoid his bed.

But Blake’s toe-curling kisses and sexy charm prove too difficult for Sam to resist. It was a marriage contract that planned for everything...except falling in love.

Good bones, but needs more work/words.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Book is listed as "unabridged" but it reads/listens as if it was abridged. There are so many places that seem to be skipped over that if there was more context it would be more interesting and draw you in more. Good bones, but needs more.

If you’ve listened to books by Catherine Bybee before, how does this one compare?

This is my first by Catherine Bybee.

Matchmaker's Heaven

While Samantha was trying to find a wife match for Blake, he was busy matching up with her. The is a light-hearted, feel good romance. There was instant attraction between Blake and Samantha so they quickly turned a marriage of convenience into a marriage for keeps. The story was made interesting by the people surrounding them that didn't want to see this marriage succeed. This is a quick and enjoyable listen. Good first book to a new series.

Tanya Eby is a very good narrator and this story suited her talents. She helped to make it an enjoyable listen.

Worth the reduced price I paid. I liked it enough to purchase the other books in the series.

Narration of Sam's voice was OUTSTANDING!

I really loved this story. The twist on the matchmaker was great. This book had all the things I love in a story, A great story line from the start, a couple of little twists, the chemistry between Blake and Samantha was great. Lots of wonderful dialogue throughout the entire book. Wonderfully written sex scenes.

And as usual this author writes with such ease and the whole story flows so nicely and very easy to read.

As for the narrator, I have to say WOW. Samantha in the book is described to have a very sexy voice, 1-800 worthy, and I am here to tell you she sure did! Amazing narration by Tanya Eby. 10 stars for Samantha's voice alone!

Super Cute Romance

This is a fun one! Total fairy tale, enjoyed the story and will listen again. The narrator was a bit mechanical sounding but that is all the bad I have to say about it. The story is on the shorter side, but honestly there is so often a bunch of unnecessary crap in books this one is more to the point, without all the extras. Good beginning of a fun series.

a cute love story.................

Would you try another book from Catherine Bybee and/or Tanya Eby?

yes, i would listen to another catherine bybee book. tanya eby was "ok" but i would listen to her again if i thought the story was worth it.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

i wouldn't.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

her male voices all sounded elderly. made the lead blake who was 36 not so attractive.

Did Wife by Wednesday inspire you to do anything?

yes, sell myself to the highest bidder! lol

Any additional comments?

although it was a cute love story, i don't think i'd buy the other books in the series unless there was a sale on them.

loved it

very cute story. really enjoyed it. characters were great and meshed well together. I liked that there wasn't a ton of extra drama between them, to lengthen the story.

predictable

Where does Wife by Wednesday rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

this is a good listen if you are just looking for a simple / no-thought romance.

Would you recommend Wife by Wednesday to your friends? Why or why not?

yes - it is a nice mind break for romance.

Any additional comments?

Perfect beach book - something to read on a day off when you just want to relax and not really think about to much - just the idea of happily ever after...
