I Almost Do

Trust & Tequila, Book 1

De: Evangeline Williams

Narrado por: Aiden Snow, CJ Bloom

James

They say I married Clarissa Harcourt for her father's company. They're wrong.

When your mentor makes a dying wish that you'll marry his daughter... you do it. Especially when you're halfway in love with her already.

Unfortunately, this marriage of convenience is anything but convenient. Clarissa doesn't know about the tattoos I hide under bespoke suits or my more than skin-deep scars. She's too vulnerable—and I'm too broken—for us to be more than married without benefits. When I told her I wouldn't touch her with these dirty hands, I meant it.

Now I'm stuck between the rock on her finger and a very hard place behind my zipper.

Clarissa

Note to self: when your crush won't consummate your wedding night, don't drown your sorrows in tequila and serenade him with Elvis songs. And please lock the door so he doesn't come in to hold your hair for you later.

Everyone says James is ruthless, but I know the side of him that is gentle and kind. The side that will give me anything my heart desires. Except for the one thing my heart desires.

I married my father's CFO hoping our "arrangement" would turn into something real. But as long as he controls my trust fund, he thinks he'd be taking advantage of me. He's wrong.

I want to be his partner, not his responsibility. And that starts with tempting him into a lot more than kissing his bride.

This slow-burn marriage of convenience is the first in a series of sexy standalones with no cheating and a very satisfying happily ever after. Intended for mature listeners.

Not Bad

Storyline was interesting; however, the story was a bit slow-going. Love Aiden’s voice; both narrators did a great job! 👏🏾

Aiden and CJ are the best team

loved the narrators. love them separately but having them together really made the story that much better.

I LOVED IT!🩵💍

I was completely hooked on the storyline. It was exactly what I needed to read, with everything I love. From the moment Clarissa's father made his dying request to James, the tension and emotions were palpable. I appreciated how the author portrayed the conflict between James' devotion to protecting Clarissa and their undeniable attraction.

The chemistry between Clarissa and James was electric, and I found myself rooting for them to overcome all obstacles. Their love story was beautifully written, and I couldn't help but get lost in their world.

What stood out to me the most was the author's ability to delve into James' inner demons. It added an extra layer of complexity to the story and kept me on the edge of my seat. I was genuinely worried that his past would come back to haunt him and potentially destroy their future.

🎧The narration was excellent. JC Bloom never disappoints. I love the emotion she brings to each character. As for Aiden Snow, he can read to me anytime. His voice is what dreams are made of!

Overall, this book was a delightful surprise. The author's writing style and the way she crafted the characters were absolutely fascinating. If you enjoy a marriage of convenience and complicated relationships with a touch of angst, then this is the book to read.

Fantastic

This was one of the best books I have read in a long time and it quickly became one of my favorites. Listening to it just made it better! CJ Bloom and Aiden Snow did an incredible job with the narration. Their interpretation of the characters was even better than how I imagined them when I first read this book. They both did a fantastic job showing the progression of Clarissa's maturity and James' emotional growth throughout the book.
