The Charade

Eden Falls Academy, Book 1

De: Judy Corry

Narrado por: Amy Melissa Bentley, Brandon Utah

When my math tutor made me sign a contract promising I wouldn't fall in love with him, I thought he was joking.

He wasn't.

Yes, Carter Hastings is the prince of Eden Falls Academy—one of the most beautiful humans on earth—and boy, does he know it. But I can use this to my advantage. Since I basically signed a paper saying I'd never catch feelings for him, it makes my plan even more perfect.

So I offer him a deal: a fake relationship. The arrangement helps Carter get revenge on his ex and helps me hide the fact that I'm not smart enough to be at this prestigious school. Win-win.

Only, as we pretend to be in a relationship, I find out he's different from what I expected. He's better. So much better. And when he kissed me last night, I just wanted it to be real.

But as I'm searching for a loophole in that stupid contract I signed, a huge family secret comes to light and all the sparks I started feeling for my fake boyfriend suddenly become forbidden.

I know I should walk away from him. That I should go back to keeping our tutoring sessions strictly professional . . . But I don't want to.

Sweet Start

This was a sweet start to the series. I liked the banter between the 2 and how the relationship built. It did get a little dicey but I figured out the twist pretty much from the start. Narration was done well.

Quick cute read

I liked the witty banter between the ML and FL, and overall, this was a cute and fluffy read. I just quite didn’t like the plot twist - but I guess some trouble has to happen at some point after they get together, before they get they happy ever after.

Great story

This was an easy light listen nothing too deep and fairly predictable but that’s what I liked about it! I needed a good mindless love story and this one held my attention all the way through without too much drama. The characters were easy to love and the writing was really good!
Spoilers ahead……
The only thing that caught me off guard in this story was that the MMC and the MFC thought they where half siblings at one point. it kind of dragged on longer than I thought necessary and it was fairly obvious to me that his dad wasn’t her dad like they thought. I get there had to be some type of challenge the couple had to face in order to make the book interesting and this wasn’t really a bad turn of events I just thought it drug on longer than needed.
This was my only dislike though and I love the banter Ava and Carter had through the whole book and their backstory’s made you love them even more! Overall I recommend giving it a listen!

the TWIST

what did I just read? 😂 such a good book, but that is the last storyline I saw this following.

wonderful, heartfelt and probably more realistic than the world knows.

Fast bubbly read

Just Corey’s books are so well written and the characters all have such a depth to their storyline which is so refreshing in a YA book. Narration is great as always - can’t go wrong with Bentley and Utah.
