De: Laura Pavlov

Narrado por: Sean Masters, Vanessa Edwin

A Small Town, Fake Dating, Enemies to Lovers, Standalone Romance from USA Today and Amazon #1 Bestselling Author, Laura Pavlov.

Lulu Sonnet is the bane of my existence.
She’s caused me more physical pain than any man should ever endure.
From an accidental throat punch to a near death by shovel—
Don’t even get me started on that vicious pool ball accident where she almost robbed me of my family jewels.
She’s a hot little heathen, and what’s worse?
She’s staying in my brother’s rental house while I’m temporarily living in the guest house.
And now she needs a favor.
A fake boyfriend.
I’ll dote on her for a few weeks, she’ll return the favor so my boss’s daughter will stop nagging me, and then we’ll part ways.
It seems simple enough.
Until we end up in the same shower.
And then the same bed.
The lines are blurring.
She’s beautiful and fierce and sexy all at the same time.
But Lulu isn’t staying in Rosewood River forever.
The place I call home is just a pitstop for her.
But suddenly everything I thought I wanted is no longer important to me.
My fake girlfriend has turned my world upside down.
And now nothing feels right without her.

**This is book 2 in the Rosewood River Series. Each one can be enjoyed as a complete standalone. A HEA is guaranteed!**

So so good

Oh the banter! Loved it. This was an awesome instant enemies to lover’s delicious story. Loved every second of the audiobook. The narrators did a fantastic job. I loved how they transitioned from annoyed banter to falling in love banter. The 😍 I wore through this whole book is insane. I laughed out loud and squealed as Rafe and Lulu found their way to their HEA.

I feel like this review is a hot mess so I’m sorry pleasure forgive me my head is still a sappy mess after finishing this book. I love love loved this book and I could not get enough. I couldn’t wait to get to the glorious ending but at the same time I didn’t want to leave these characters. Loved the story and you should read it. ❤️

Chadwick Family is back!

We are back in Rosewood River and this time it’s for Lulu and Rafe.

These two were firecrackers from the very beginning. They have so much chemistry and I loved watching them go from butting neighbors to fake dating to more.

I like that we get to watch Lulu stand up for herself more and more as the story goes on. I also like that we get to see the softer side of Rafe.

We have plenty of family group chats, which are always a highlight for me! Those brothers/cousins are hilarious!

I can’t wait for book 3! The epilogue sets it up perfectly :)

Incredible!!!!

• Thoughts:
Perfection!! Straight up perfection!! I loved Steal My Heart. But My Silver Linning! Oh my heart! Loved it! The chemistry, the loathing, the side characters, the banter. (Ugh, chefs kiss) Seriously, their meet cute had me busting a gut! I adored Lulu and Rafe. Once they became friends, you could tell they just understood one another. Their relationship was effortless, They were a huge support to each other as well! You could tell they wanted the other to succeed in life in a big way. My review jist like the first book is not going to do this book any justice. I have a feeling this series is going to be a serisz where i have multiple book trophy formates.
When i tell you there is banter, trust me. Lulu dishes as good as good as she gets. She is quick amd lets be honest, knocks RaFe flatt on his butt. I also enjoy the text threat between the boys of the family!! Hilarious!! Rafe is a great, big hearted guy who has a ton to give!
Not only was the story well done, but the narrators that were closen couldn't have been more spot on!

NARRATOR THOUGHTS:
•Narrators: Vanessa Edwin and Sean Masters
•Duet Narration
•Listening at a 1.5 speed.
Vanessa and Sean killed it. I mean, i am gonna need more of these two in a pairing for audio! It was great. Vanessa is so good at delivering sass!! So good. She knoss how to deliver! Sean, ugh, he was brilliant!! These two are tight. I highly recommend this is the drink here


I always encourage people to read what makes them happy. If it sounds good, read it! My reviews are just that, my opinions. I do, however, hope they are helpful and provide a little insight in helping you to determine the next book you will pick up and read.
Happy reading, friends.

Favorite Couple!

Lulu and Rafe have hands down been my fave couple of LP! They were hilarious, hot, so freaking sweet and the chemistry sizzled from the first throat punch! The guy chat was freaking hilarious, Beef Cake was wise beyond his years and Lulu was unapologetically herself! I absolutely adored their story! I laughed so much! Their connection just drew me in from their meet cute! Lulu is guarded and Rafe doesn’t think he will find that great love. I loved seeing them break down each other’s walls and it was magic with their push and pull! I cannot wait to get to see the other guys fall so hard!

Spicy and fun romance story!

My Silver Lining, book two in the Rosewood River series is spicy, fun and absolutely addictive!
Rafe lives in Rosewood River and Lulu is visiting her friend, Henley while trying to put her life back together and they find themselves living near one another, but they definitely don’t mesh at first, but both are in need of a fake date for one event each. Can they but their differences aside? It seems they can because what starts out as fake turns into so much more for both of them.
I also had the added benefit of listening to the audio version of this story and the narrators did an amazing job that absolutely added to my enjoyment of this book!

Love the voice overs

I love a good romance novel!! This series is fantastic and always fun to read. Highly recommend..

Loved it!

Just as great as book one! Loved the story and the romance!! Looking forward to book 3!!!

5/5 stars!!

I now understand why Laura was saying that Lulu and Rafe stuck with her for a while after she finished writing this book. I have a feeling they are going to do the same for me. Rafe Chadwick, book husband, I absolutely adore you. The easy going, always supportive demeanor is everything he lights up every room and is just someone that everyone immediately is drawn to. Smooth, carefree, genuinely happy and an all around nice guy, big ups to the nice guys because as much as I love a broody MMC, the nice guys deserve the love too. Lulu Sonnet was ferocity incarnate. THE GIRL THROAT PUNCHES HIM THE FIRST TIME SHE MEETS HIM?! Does it get any more fierce than that!? I am absolutely OBSESSED with her. She is guarded from being hurt before but she is literally everything I could ever want in a bestie and I am so in love with them as a couple. The family dynamics are always my favorite part of every Laura Pavlov book. The supporting cast of characters almost become just as important as our main ones and the found family aspect is unmatched in every series. Seeing all of my favorite Magnolia Falls characters again is always such a treat and AS ALWAYS my boy beefcake steals the show with his wonderful pearls of wisdom. You want a genuine and true feel good book with lots of laughs, tons of heart and maybe even a few tears? Read this book. As a matter of fact, read every Laura Pavlov book. The best 5/5 stars.



WHAT TO EXPECT:
*Hilarious not so meet cute

*Forced proximity
*He falls first
*Frenemies to lovers

Addicting 😍😍

Rate ♾️⭐️

HOLY SH*T!!! I am sooo grateful I got this early because I couldn’t wait for this to be released 😍

This was AMAZING — I loved the first book in this series and I loved Lulu when she visited Henley so I knew I would love her book but WOW it was so much better than I could of expected!

And even though there is only 2 books so far in this series this is the best between to two!

The way these two came together way amazing. They brought out the best of each other and the way they supported each other even when they were still “faking” it.

I truly don’t know how it’s going to get better than this but like every book before I will never doubt Laura Pavlov! I loved reading their love story but I knew I needed this on audio and holy crap did it take it to another level!

Fake Dating done right

Fake dating is seriously one of my fave tropes and this book does it in the best ways. The story was so heartfelt and the banter was top notch! The narrators were perfect for this couple and they did fabulously bringing these characters to life!
