Last Minute Fiancé

First Time, Book 2

De: Carrie Ann Ryan

Narrado por: Jason Clarke, Callie Dalton

A single drunken night changed everything.

One positive test later, and I’m not only pregnant with my best friend’s baby, but I’m falling for him too.

Except when my ex finds out at work, I do the worst thing I could at that moment: I lie.

I make up a fake fiancé and my boss overhears.

Now I need my best friend to play the part. He’s good at it, too, since we can’t keep our hands off each other.

When we’re both forced to lean on each other, we’ll have to face facts. There’s nothing fake about this relationship. Even if I’ll break my heart in the process.

So much more than friends

A lighthearted and enjoyable listen. Callie Dalton and Jason Clarke’s wonderful narration gave an individual voice to every character in Addison and Luca’s heartwarming friends to lovers tale. I have two weaknesses. A guy who can cook and a guy who is an animal lover. Luca is the kind of guy you want in your life. He’s sweet and protective of the ones he cares about. I felt a connection to Addison from the start. She’s fiercely independent and driven and I loved watching her let down her guard and focus on what is most important in life. Another incredible story in this First Time series.

Last Minute Fiancé

When best friends Luca and Addison indulge in one night of fun their worlds change forever. I loved the banter between Luca and Addison. These two are great together no matter if they are friends or lovers. The love that they have for each other shines through. When life throws them a curve ball there is no stopping them. I enjoyed the way their relationship developed from friends to so much more. Narrators Jason Clarke and Callie Dalton do I nice job of bringing the characters and their emotions to life and I was quickly lost in their story.

Sweet Read...

Last Minute Fiancé is book two in the "First Time" series. These are Greer's brothers. It's a friends to lovers, fake fiancé, surprise pregnancy romance.

We get Luca and Cassidy's story this time and its a light, sweet, loving, heartfelt story of best friends who crossed the line one night, but are truly meant for each other. I absolutely loved their dynamic. They have an all around great relationship and the chemistry is off the charts. So many feels. You also have your found family that makes this such a great read. I can't wait for more from this series.

Jason Clarke and Callie Dalton really brought these characters and story to life.

They can rely on each other to always be there for one another in times of crisis and know they both will help in anyway possible. They have an amazing friendship.

This book will keep you interested from the start and wanting to see what happens next.

Great friends to lovers book

This was a great friends to lovers book! Best friends, a little too much to drink, a shared ride home, sounds like a great idea... everything about their life is about to change. I FLOVED the connection between these two and what they go through to reach their HEA. Addison has to deal with the good ole boys at work, even worse as she is fighting for a promotion. Luca is buried in puppies and kittens. Together they have to take life one step at a time. Luca knows he will be by Addison's side every step of the way and at some point he realizes he is in love with her and will do whatever it takes to keep her with him forever. Even though their relationship starts off fake, he is determined to make it real.

I read and listened to this book. The narration brought it to life and I enjoyed it very much

Fantastic friends to lovers romance

I received this as an arc/alc from the author and I’m voluntarily leaving my honest review.

This was a fantastic friends to lovers romance. It was a really well written story and I loved the mixture of tropes it included. It’s the second book in the series and it can easily be read as a standalone but I did prefer having read the first book because it introduced all the characters so beautifully.

This was Addison and Luca’s story and they had amazing chemistry. I loved how they went from friends to more. The bond the two shared just made me so emotionally invested in their story. I just loved it.

Audiobook review: It was a well narrated story and I just loved the male narrator. It was easy to get lost in the story by listening to it.

Another great spinoff...

I enjoyed these two build up of a relationship. they were friends first and throughout that is what held them together vs. a hot and heavy sex situation (that was well done as well!) i like that the novel introduce additional complexities around being a career woman and societal norms.

Cute with a dash of complicated .....

Cute with a dash of complicated has never been so compelling. Count on Ryan to dream up an unpredictable, yet irresistible, heartbreaker. Last Minute Fiance' gives emotions a reason to rejoice. From the endearing to the frustrating and everything in between, Luca and Addison turn the simmer of attraction into an inferno of romance.

Great read! Really enjoyed it!

I really enjoyed this story! It pulled me in from beginning to end and I really enjoyed the characters. I loved watching Addison and Luca come together and go from friends to more. They are best friends and one drunken night they end up together and they don't talk about right away though they are supposed to and then Addison is pregnant. I enjoyed the way that they tackled this seeing as they are best friends they do it together though they haven't figured out the rest of it. On top of that, due to a promotion that Addison is working and competing for at her job and the boys club that it is she ends up making up a fiance and blurts out Luca's name. now they are pretending to be engaged and dealing with the pregnancy and the chemistry they have going on it definitely becomes a bit of a mess but they truly care for each other and are friends first. This gives them the opportunity to let their feelings and emotions grow and become something real and lasting. I enjoyed watching these two fall for each other and tackle the obstacles and things in front of them. This was a really cute story and I loved it a lot.
The narrators did a great job with the story and bringing the characters and action to life.

Luca and Addison

Lucca and Addison's story is an enjoyable friends-to-lovers story about what happened when two best friends had a little too much to drink and ended up sharing an Uber ride home, Everything should have been fine except when the car arrived at Addison's house they both got out together.

The night they spent together was the best night of both their lives, but they agreed it was a mistake and wouldn't happen again, little did they know that would be an impossible thing to guarantee, especially bearing in mind the consequences of their night together, now everything is about to change for both of them.

Their connection is strong they know each other so well and are each other's go-to person. The chemistry between them is palpable and undeniable and their friendship and affection are there for all to see. They belong together but are reluctant to commit as neither wants to risk their friendship.

Addison is fighting for a promotion against her obnoxious ex whilst having to deal with the good ole boy network at work, When her ex announces he's engaged and will be taking his fiance to a works team building exercise Addison blurts out that she too is engaged! Now all she has to do is convince Lucca to go with her!

They agree to take life one step at a time always facing the future together. Luca assures her he will be by her side every step of the way but then he realizes he's in love with her and will do whatever he has to do to make her admit that she feels the same about him.

Their journey isn't an easy one, her work is impossible and Luca seems to always be buried in puppies and kittens. There is so much tension and angst as they find themselves having to deal with difficult situations beyond their control. I loved how their story progressed and how they finally had to admit their feelings. I love Luca he was so attentive and caring he has some issues but is trying to get over them, Addison is independent, strong, spunky and fun. I loved listening as their love story unfolded and how even though their engagement started as fake Luca is determined to convince Addison to marry him.

The narration of this book by Callie Dalton and Jason Clarke is excellent they added depth and feeling to a story that was full of them. The characters are brought to life perfectly, every emotion is there to hear in their voices. They raised a beautiful story to an even higher level.
