The Love Lie

De: Monica McCallan

Narrado por: Lori Prince

A year ago, Sydney King was a successful pro tennis player with a long-term boyfriend, a plan for the future, and a shot at fulfilling all her dreams.

Now, she has a cheating ex-boyfriend and a career-ending injury, and—quite frankly—things could not be going worse for her.

She hopes that returning home to Stoneport, Massachusetts, will be the reset her life needs—until she finds out her ex's wedding to the woman he cheated with is the social event of the season.

The last person Sydney expects to find camaraderie with is her former fiancé's sister, Reese Devereux. Back home after the purchase of a local inn, Reese has wounds of her own and seems even less enthused about her brother's wedding than Sydney.

When an unexpected mix-up creates the perfect story that she and Reese are dating, shockingly, Reese runs with it. Sydney knows it's a bad idea, but being on Reese's arm gives her the chance to pretend life is just a little bit more in her control than it feels.

Both women are coming home to their pasts, but it's up to them to decide what they want their futures to look like.

Contains mature themes.

Unique Take on Fake Relationship

I enjoyed how this relationship was initiated. It had very interesting family and personal dynamics- I loved the wedding speeches- I hope there is a sequel where Syds best friend finds love..

Mccallan & Prince Do it again

Great book! I love the well rounded characters and just the pure love they have for each other. Would definitely listen to it again. The epilog was so cute.

Loved it!!!!

The story flowed so well and really wanted the story to continue!!!! Please write a follow up

Loved the ending.

I don't think I've ever listened to a Monica McCallan before. Her name comes up frequently in recommendations but nothing hooked my interest enough to give it a go until this one. I really enjoyed it! The character development is intriguing, kept me listening. The set up is, of course, a bit far fetched, but it's a fauxmance story so of course it is. I read some complaints about the ending in the reviews but I thought it was hilarious, and took nothing away from the story that had been developed to that point.

I think I found a new favorite author!

So I have read all of Haley Cass’s books (this author’s wife), and I have found an author that I love just as much! Such a great telling of the story (always love Lori Prince) plus I loved the tie in to Haley Cass’s world. Will definitely listen to again!
