A Shore Thing

De: Portia MacIntosh

Narrado por: Karen Cass

The BRAND NEW gorgeously funny romantic comedy from MULTI-MILLION COPY bestseller Portia MacIntosh, perfect for fans of Love Island, Christina Lauren and Tessa Bailey!

Lights. Camera...Showmance!

From the moment Cleo met Lockie, her infuriatingly charming co-casting producer on hit reality show Welcome to Singledom, he's been getting under her skin. Their job? Casting singles for the ultimate island romance. Their problem? They can't agree on anything.

Now, the cameras are ready to roll, and the contestants—well, most of them—are en route. But when the threat of a tropical storm delays half the cast, launch night turns into a total disaster. With no Plan B, Cleo and Lockie are forced to step in as contestants. Just for 24 hours until the real stars arrive.

Simple, right? Except tensions are sky-high and sparks are flying for all the wrong reasons! All they have to do is couple-up and get voted off - but there's a storm coming, so leaving the island might not be so easy. Cleo's used to pulling strings behind the scenes, not falling headfirst into the drama.

But when the cameras stop rolling, will their fake fling fade with the credits—or could it be Cleo's most unexpected plot twist yet?

Escape to paradise with a laugh-out-loud, gorgeous forced proximity with your rival romance from MILLION-COPY bestseller Portia MacIntosh

Great story!

Another great book from Portia Macintosh. I love this author and truly love this story. Such a fun listen.

Good until the end

I’m good with suspension of disbelief..actually loved the premise. But the end was just awful. You want an HEA but it has to make some sense and leave the woman with some dignity. It’s like she had a deadline for the book and just wrapped it up.

Comedy romantic gold

Loved this unique storyline. Many laugh out loud moments and such great characters I listened to it first day. Quickly added to favorites. Perfect author narrator pairing.

Great Character Development

This was a nice story that was very character driven. The situation was one I am not familiar with, but the way the story progressed was very involved with the personalities of the people involved and how they responded to the storm and subsequent stranding on the island. I enjoyed seeing it develop. Funny, sweet and also hard to watch their struggles.

Love Portia Macintosh

I have listened to over 20 of her books. They are engaging, smart, witty and truly enjoyable rom-com. Caren Cass is a fantastic narrator!!!
