Casting Lacey

By: Elle Spencer

Narrated by: Melissa Moran

Length: 11 hrs and 45 mins

Publisher's summary

Coming out is easier when you've got someone by your side. At least that's how the hyper-private Quinn Kincaid sees it. When her publicist suggests a good old-fashioned sham of a Hollywood relationship, Quinn reluctantly agrees. And that's how the star of Jordan's Appeal, TV's highest rated legal drama, ends up with a fake girlfriend - the very real, very sexy, and very gay soap star Lacey Matthews.

In Casting Lacey, Elle Spencer gives us a hilarious new take on a classic storyline, complete with nosy mothers, fawning assistants, and two beautiful actresses who might learn about true love. If they don't kill each other first.

I’m not crying, you are.

I’ve never laughed out loud to a book as much as I had with this book. I also found myself fighting back tears, of sadness and joy. The characters, lead and supportive, were so genuine. The situation was hard to fathom, but still believable. The strong language added to the believability.
The narrator was great. I loved the Boston accent! I would definitely recommend this book and I look forward to reading/listening to more of Elle Spencer’s work. The best audible purchase I’ve made, thus far.

WHEN

WHEN WILL THE NEXT BOOK COMING OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT FOR ELLA SPENCER TO WRITE MORE BOOKS LIKE THIS .IT KEPT ME LISTENING THIS STORY AT LEAST 3 TIMES A WEEK. SPENCER IS AN OUT STANDING WRITER. I WANT MORE BOOKS FROM ELLA

OMG!!!!

I cried. I laughed. I cursed at Lacy, but then loved her for taking her time. I felt EVERYTHING they were going through. My emotions were intense. I've NEVER felt so much pain, anger, love, heartache... OMG!!! This was AMAZING!! The story and narrator were perfect together. OMG!!!

Wow, what a roller-coaster!

I actually had doubts about how this one was going to end, almost right up until the end. Wow, these characters went through some serious ups and downs, and bouts of the human stupid, while still remaining endearing and interesting. I don't get wrapped around the axle over just any novel, but this one had me gripped from almost the first chapter, as the characters just inched towards each other like couple of damn porcupines. I'm very impressed. Don't pass this book up. :)

Just perfect!!

First of all, I was dubious. I was wrong.

Narration was the best I have heard in a while. Melissa Moran made the characters exactly who they should be with not one misstep.

But Elle Spencer took a tired and silly premise and turned out romantic comedy gold! From the first page, the dialog is so real and conversational that I felt like I was eavesdropping. The characters truly evolve into who they need to be for the relationship to work over the entire course of the novel, which spans a year. Every time I thought “here comes the plot cliche”, she went a different direction. It’s so well done. I will likely listen to it again in a couple weeks. It’s that good.

Celebrity Faux Romance Winner

Great Celebrity Faux Romance that will have you laughing and wishing you were sitting out by the pool.

Couldn't stop listening!

I normally find one flaw or another with other listens but this one, it's perfect! Worth every penny!

One if the best books I've heard in awhile!

I absolutely loved this book! it had me laughing all through this book! My heart broke and laughed. I really enjoyed! I just didn't want it to end! Will definitely listen to more books from this author!

I skipped

Got annoyed at the beginning of chapter 8 so I checked how many chapters I had left, was disappointed and decided to skip to the last 10 chapters to my surprise they actually were at a point where they weren't arguing. But then out of nowhere a conflict arises. Then two chapters later Is sort of resolved.
The one thing that made me skip was easily how they treated each other. Sure they had chemistry, but the way they insulted each other and tried to play it off as friendly flirting got annoying very quick.
They randomly blurted out awful things then regretted it. repeat. Things happen literally out of nowhere. Dialogue doesn't progress Smoothly.

Try listening to the first 6 chapters or skip to the last 10 like I did.

So long

This audiobook is 10 hours long and I’m in hour 7 and they haven’t actually hooked up. There is so much back and forth about if they should or not, that they have now convinced me that they should not.

Phenomenal

Perfect choice of narrator, incredible story, well worth a listen/read. Just wish the TV show in this book was real, would definitely watch.

Beautiful story

Beautidully narration on the book with distinguished voices for different characters so easy to folloe.

The story was beautifully frustrating showing views and thoughts from both main characters, keeping you wondering about the next change whilst thoroughly hooked.

Loved it

Couldn’t stop listening. The anticipation killed me..in a good way! Excellent narration. Would defo recommend 👌🏻

Great story

Didn’t think this would be for me but it quickly became something I couldn’t stop listening to!

Fabulous story

Loved both the lead characters. Really enjoyed listening to this book. Well worth a read/listen. The narrator was good too.

should be a six star rating

brilliant story, narration was very good, loved the characters except of course the baddie and a very happy ending as well

A lot of angst

A great performance by Melissa Moranshe bought the characters to life brilliantly. I enjoyed listening to this story but found that there was a lot of angst. I understand that Quinn and Lacey are actors but it got to a point where I couldn’t wait for the story to end. For every step forward there was a massive run backwards. If you’ve got the time to invest in this story I’d say go for it but there is little reward for the emotions invested in it.

great listen

loved this from beginning to end. great story line. will definitely look for more by this author.

Great story, kept me wanting more

This was my first by this author, I’ve already purchased more. Great story line, and very well written.

Fabulous

Great story of building a relationship from scratch. Extraordinary circumstances, various issues, misunderstandings and things unsaid all play a part in this wonderfully read story.
