The first in a new historical rom-com series, a handsome earl hires a fake fiancée to keep his matchmaking mother at bay, but hilarity ensues when love threatens to complicate everything.

The last thing Hugh Standish, Earl of Fareham, ever wants is a wife. Unfortunately for him, his mother is determined to find him one, even from across the other side of the ocean. So Hugh invents a fake fiancée to keep his mother’s matchmaking ways at bay. But when Hugh learns his interfering mother is on a ship bound for England, he realizes his complicated, convoluted but convenient ruse is about to implode. Until he collides with a beautiful woman, who might just be the miracle he needs.

Minerva Merriwell has had to struggle to support herself and her two younger sisters ever since their feckless father abandoned them. Work as a woodcut engraver is few and far between, and the Merriwell sisters are nearly penniless. So when Hugh asks Minerva to pose as his fiancée while his mother is visiting, she knows that while the scheme sounds ludicrous, the offer is too good to pass up.

Once Minerva and her sisters arrive at Hugh's estate, of course nothing goes according to his meticulous plan. As hilarity and miscommunication ensue while everyone tries to keep their tangled stories straight, Hugh and Minerva’s fake engagement starts to turn into a real romance. But can they trust each other when their relationship started with a lie? The first book in the Merriwell Sisters series, Never Fall for Your Fiancée is a hilarious, sparkling historical romantic comedy from Virginia Heath.

Favorite trope and favorite narrators - enjoyed it

A great fake engagement story in regency London - fake relationship being my fave trope! I really enjoyed it. First in a series and I have all three to read so I’m excited to carry on to the stories of the other sisters quickly.

Narrated by my fave Shane East (swoon!!), and Shakira Shute who has been making a name in the industry - fantastic job from both!

I know that this book had very mixed reviews when it came out, but I really liked it.

Great read

from beginning to the end it was exciting funny. Great read couldn't stop listening

So much fun!

I actually laughed out loud a few times, which hardly ever happens in this genre so I was utterly delighted! It definitely needed some editing - I hope I never hear the words “tainted Standish blood” again - but I’m looking forward to the rest of the series. Terrific performances too!

it's pleasant and has cute parts but the misunderstandings are silly

it's cute but the annoying little sister acted too young and spoiled for a poor 17 year old and the female lead's misunderstandings about the male lead is pretty annoying like everything he does she thinks the worst of him even when he obviously is doing something good for her. I wasn't rooting for Minerva at the end because she was getting toxic and would not listen. Also why she won't tell her siblings g about how horrible their father is is dumb too cz they are not little children and deserve to know how evil their father is! And Hugh can't be specific with his statements even when it's needed. so yeah nah I was frustrated with a lot of the characters, I mean I do like flawed characters but this is too much.

Strange Characters!

Interesting characters, but for me they never came together as an enjoyable story, they seemed to always be in conflict with the story. There was good humor, but most of it was unbelievable.
