Hard Feelings

Here for the Cake

De: Jennifer Millikin

Narrado por: Wesley Mercer, Marissa Clay

A loathe-to-love, road trip romance performed in duet.

Cecily Hampton's first date with Dominic Bellinger started out like a dream. The conversation? Flowing. The chemistry? Sizzling. But when Cecily overhears a phone call Dom steps away to take, she grabs her purse and makes a run for it. She knows a red flag when she sees one.

Unfortunately, avoiding Dom becomes impossible when they're both summoned to Las Vegas to celebrate their mutual friends. Armed with a vow to hate Dom forever, Cecily lands in Sin City ready to unleash her dirtiest looks on him. Except, Dom's salty attitude is making it clear Cecily isn't the only one with hard feelings.

When shooting daggers turns into shooting tequila, Dom and Cecily wake up to find themselves with a nasty hangover and new titles: Mr. & Mrs.

A rush to undo the drunken mistake is halted when Cecily's grandmother calls to announce she's dying, and her final wish is to road trip around Arizona with her family. Including her granddaughter's new husband.

Cecily can't decide which is worse - being stuck in a luxury motor coach with Dom, or her estranged family.

But somewhere between a stay at a haunted hotel and unwittingly attending a nudist colony, their thinly veiled insults and barbed remarks give way to the attraction from their first date. They tell themselves it's just this once...twice...ok, three times.

Scratching an itch starts looking a lot like newlywed bliss. And their temporary marriage? It just might turn into forever.

A Hilarious Roadtrip Romance

"You are far too easy to love. You are so easy to love that I have to remind myself to slow down.

This book was seriously like a warm hug mixed with a couple shots of tequila! It was an unbelievably refreshing take on a “accidentally married in Vegas story”. I went into the story blind other than knowing a few of the tropes and I am just blown away by how wonderful this book was!

"Careful, Menace. I like it when you're mean."

The characters were each so well rounded and unique. The different roadtrip settings and spicy shenanigans had me both overheating and cackling. For a roadtrip that had a very macabre purpose, it was such a healing time for the characters. Savage grandma was HILARIOUS and I loved her so freaking much. (Also, Rainbow was a great edition to this wild group of people!)

From dude ranches with only one bed, to literal spicy scenes that ended in milk baths, to haunted hotels, Hard Feelings was a wild ride!

"I'm not sure how I feel about the choking," I admit. Her eyebrows cinch together, perplexed. "What choking?" (IYKYK 😂)

Cecily & Dom’s relationship might have started out rough but their banter was priceless and the feelings they developed along the way were undeniable. That man was so dang sweet on his “wife”. I LOVED IT! 🤭

"Menace. My Menace."
"Yours," she says against my lips, trembling.

This audiobook was brilliantly preformed by Wesley Mercer & Marissa Clay. These were new narrators for me and I immediately wanted to look up more of their works!

If you need a great romcom read that will have you crying & cackling, I definitely recommend running so download Hard Feelings!

This was such a great audiobook. I thoroughly enjoyed the narrators, Wesley Mercer & Marissa Clay.

Savage Grandma was my favorite!

A drunk marriage between enemies, a forced proximity (a 3 week roadtrip) with the bride’s family, an undeniable chemistry, and not compromising being able to get an annulment. What could go wrong?

Cecily and Dom’s story is a lot of adventure, laughs, and also heartbreaking. There were tears shed. I don’t want to give anymore away. It does have a HEA.
