The Wiener Across the Way

The Cocky Kingmans, Book 2

De: Amy Award

Narrado por: Stella Hunter, Jacob Morgan

What happens when the sunshiny pop princess and the grumpy football player discover there's more to this fake romance than inspiration for a new love song?

Kelsey Best is America's pop sweetheart, and anyone who says they don't like her music is a liar and needs to be punched in the nads. And I'll do it, too, because I'm the guy the NFL dubbed the meanest player in the league. It's great for my career on the field, but not so much for my reputation off it. So I'm shocked as hell when Kelsey's team sends my agent a wild idea—they want a showmance between us. She's looking to dodge the media frenzy after her breakup with Hollywood's latest heartthrob, and I apparently fit the bill as her perfect distraction. My agent is convinced this fake dating stunt is the key to fixing my image. But what happens when I fall for her? The whole world is going to hate me when we fake break up. But she's going to create a blank space in my heart, and I don't think I'm going to be able to shake it off.

This plus-size curvy-girl romance features a burnt-cinnamon-roll hero with a mean protective streak and a baddie plus-size pop star on the verge of burn out. But a Bridgertons-meets-American-Football family you'll wish you were a part of will make sure they get their happy ever after.

I love it and I can't wait for the next one

I loved the character depths and the consistent feeling of being able to put yourself in each charters shoes. Keep these books coming! 💯🔥

I need a Declan!!

Nice, sweet romance! No violence and animal pets that are so darn cute! I’m hoping Penelope gets her story!😊

So much fun!

First up, if Jacob Morgan reads it, I'm gonna buy it - that's a no-brainer. Some of my favourite books he's narrated are ones featuring drunk women, cheeky teenagers, cats, kids, and brotherly insults. The Kingman brothers in this book are hilarious, and it certainly doesn't hurt that the storyline is adjacent to a certain real world famous singer and her football boyfriend.

This story is a delight from start to finish. The parallel inner monologues about each other, the slow-burn development of the story, the family banter, and it's all so wonderfully narrated. Stella Hunter is wonderful as Kelsey, her peppy public-facing voice versus the sometimes tired and vulnerable woman in private. She also does a great lower register when she's narrating the male dialogue. Jacob is a long-time favourite of mine because c'mon, that voice and delivery. I was snuffling with laughter at some of the lines at the start of the book, and I was hooked from that point on.

This is the first book in the series that I've tried, and I'm enjoying it so much that I'm going to getting the rest. The titles made me grin when I saw them all too, and curvy FMCs? SO GOOD.

Get it, love it, you're welcome.

5.0

I loved this! It's a great quick, light read, full of body positivity, and spice! The fat woman gets the big man. I loved Wiener the Pooh, LOL, such a cute little pup. Plus, all the T. Swift references. It also had a decent plot, so it wasn't pointless fluff, but still spicy fluffy.

Narrators' Rating: 5.0 stars
Both narrators did an excellent job!

Sweet insta love

Instalove between a big footballer and a rockstar that are perfect for each other. Low drama and a nice sweet story

I honestly laughed

I listened to this book damn day. It is corny and cheesy but I couldn't stop listening. On to Book 3 I guess. lol

Need more

You need to finish this series with the brothers and sister should all have a love stories as well

cute, spicier and perfect

I didn't think the scenes could get spicier and yet I was proven wrong. I also love just how safe feeling the characters are, we got to know the siblings more to and I can't wait to love all of them more. ♡

No notes

This book has to be one of my favorites. From beginning to end I loved every part about it. The voice acting was top tier and only made a great book even better.

Loving these Lovey stories

I like how this story attacked not only body image but also how to care for yourself and recognizing things in your life that are bad for you.
