Marriage for One

By: Ella Maise

Narrated by: Stella Bloom, Lance Greenfield

Jack and I, we did everything backward. The day he lured me into his office - which was also the first day we met - he proposed. You'd think a guy who looked like him - a bit cold maybe, but still striking and very unattainable - would only ask the love of his life to marry him, right? You'd think he must be madly in love.

Amazing Slow Burn!!

Such a great slow burn! 🔥 This book is such a gem.
This was my first book by Ella Maise and she did an amazing job! Such a sweet story is a marriage of convenience turning into something more!! The narrators did a fantastic job bringing this book to life!
Jack and Rose had such a sweet story!

Slow burn marriage of convenience

Part marriage of convenience, part fake dating, Jack and Rose got married without really knowing each other, each with their own reasons. Rose now has the chance to open up the coffee shop of her dreams, and Jack has the perfect woman on his arm to bolster his career. But life in close quarters can often open us up to giving more of ourselves than we plan!

This was a slow-burn, grumpy-sunshine love story told in dual pov. It was a slow read for me, and while I really enjoyed the storyline it took me a while to buy into the love story, or root for these two working out. Probably because the narration was just ok. This also featured a trope I don’t read a ton of but really loved: one of the MCs taking care of the other when they are sick!

Slow burn

Lovely story, took its time to get to the point and yet still really lovely and satisfying:)

See, tears, sex. tears.

if someone wants to learn how to have sex, there is a lot of passion and instruction. I got more than a little weary of the heroine who cried if she was happy. cried if she was sad, cried if she got angry, cried when she got sick. pretty much everything made her cry, yet she was supposed to be strong and self-sufficient. The romance and sex would have been better with a lot fewer tears. That would get old with a lover I think and it got old hearing about it.all the time. The hero spent their time together wiping away her tears.

Most enjoyable and utterly romantic

This feels like Mr. Darcy and exuberant Emma and totally love Rose’s character and cold, frowning Jack...it was awkward, yet such a tease btw both of them...one of those books you want to hear more of them and don’t want it to end...simply a beautiful listen and the narration was perfect. You feel the personalities in the voices ..done in perfection
