The Fiance Dilemma

De: Elena Armas

Narrado por: Brittany Pressley, Zachary Webber

Josie Moore has given the opposite sex––and love––plenty of chances. Four exactly, if you count all her failed engagements, and five if you include the absentee father who kept her existence a secret until very recently. So when her father decides to announce his retirement with a splashy magazine piece about the family, Josie realizes her romantic history is a complicated PR issue.

Matthew Flanagan is the mud, literally. Not only has he been fired from his job, but also the tires of his car are stuck in the muck after taking a wrong turn as he enters Green Oak, North Carolina. So, he grabs a duffel with his essentials and goes in search of a place to crash until he gets his life back on track. But instead, he finds his best friend’s sister, Josie, greeting him as her fiancé.

What starts as a big messy misunderstanding quickly turns into an arrangement with Matthew playing a new role as doting fiancé. A fifth engagement––and a stunt, at that––makes Josie’s stomach turn, but every dilemma requires a choice between equally undesirable alternatives, and Matthew doesn’t seem to mind becoming one more number in a colourful list of grooms-that-never-were. Despite the ring on her finger, Josie knows this is only temporary, even if the rest of the small town believes that the fifth time’s the charm.©2024 Elena Armas (P)2024 Simon & Schuster, UK

How freaking cute was this?

Matthew Flanagan, can you report for book boyfriend duty. This man destroyed me. I was kicking and screaming and was so giddy while I listened to this book. It was so cute. This is really such a beautiful story. I cannot deal with the perfect characters that Elena writes. Just a PS I related to Josie‘s life being a mess to my soul.
