The Pretending Plot

Caught Up in Love, Book 1

Narrado por: Joe Arden, Vanessa Edwin

Dive into this fun, sexy fake fiancé romance performed by Joe Arden and Vanessa Edwin!

I don't mean to just blurt it out. "Why, yes, I'm engaged!"

But once I say it to a potential client, there's only one logical thing to do - cast the role of my fake fiancé.

Easy enough. As a casting director, my job is to find the most talented players for every part, so I choose dreamy, edgy, sexy, sarcastic Reeve.

And I sign him up for one week in the role of mine.

It's not as if I'll fall for him in five nights even if we get a little cozy one night at theater. It's not as if I'll want more even after a scorching afternoon in the stacks of the New York Public Library.

I can't let myself because on Friday at midnight the curtain falls on our fake romance...

Author's note : The Pretending Plot is a reimagining of my 2013 book Pretending He's Mine, which is no longer available for sale. The Pretending Plot is a fresh new take on that fake fiancé romance, now rewritten in first person, expanded from a novella to novel length and with expanded characterizations. This new version with brand-new narration is more than 60 percent new material.

Fun and Flirty!

The Pretending Plot (previously published as Pretending He's Mine) is the first book in the Caught Up in Love. Sutton and Reeve's story is a fun and flirty fake relationship/older woman and younger man romance/and slow burn romance. I loved their story. Joe Arden and Vanessa Edwin are the perfect narrators as Sutton and Reeve. I enjoyed it.

Slow Burn 🔥

This was a sweet sexy slow burn romance. The couple had immediate chemistry and they were hot together. The narrators were on point with their delivery.

A fun pretend to love story

It was so fun to see a female boss who got her HEA from an almost employee, the dynamic was still implied and if I understood she was a handful of years older.

the performance was also great as they made feel their angst thru the narration.

A fun, quick listen

A cute, quick, fun story. Some unpredictable elements in there, too! But loved these characters together. Great chemistry and definitely a well-developed story for such a short one!

Make Believe or Real Life

I loved this full length remake. I read Caught Up In Love, what feels like years ago, so I don’t remember all the exact details but I do remember parts and I loved it. This new extended version gives you more to love.
