Outmatched

Narrado por: Elizabeth Hart, Alex Kydd

What happens when a boxer finds chemistry with a geek?

Parker Brown can't believe she needs to hire a fake boyfriend. But the head boss prefers to promote employees who are "settled." Thankfully, she's found the perfect candidate, a fellow intellectual looking for some quick cash. What Parker gets is his protective big brother - Rhys Morgan. The tall, muscled ex-boxer with a foul mouth shows up just as her boss does, and now she's stuck with the manipulative jerk.

Responsibility weighs heavily on Rhys. Now permanently out of the ring, he's trying to hold together his late father's gym and keep his younger brother, Dean, on the straight and narrow. To save Dean from himself, Rhys takes his place, ready to give this society girl a piece of his mind. Instead, he finds an opportunity. Even though they can hardly stand each other, posing as Parker's boyfriend is a win-win deal. She gets to keep her job, and he'll charm her star-struck boss into sponsoring his gym.

Problem is, they can barely keep their hands off each other. And what started as an easy deal isn't so easy anymore.

• A little about the characters and the plot:
Rhys Morgan, a former boxer, needs to get money fast to save the institute that was his late father's dream.
Parker Brown is a hard worker who is willing to do anything to prove herself, even if it means hiring the services of a guy on an app to fake a relationship with her in order to get the approval of her boss.
But... she's hiring Rhys brother's services, and Rhys decides that's not gonna happen at all! And from here?The story is just beginning. 🤭

Very cute and sweet, the narrators are great, I was a little afraid of the accent but it was quite clear. The plot is fun and sweet, reminds me why I sometimes miss the old books.
Yes there were clichés that's why I gave 4 🌟, but it wasn't bad I really had fun listening to this cutie!
And what I liked the most, there was no miscommunication and 3rd act breakup, which is a BIG bonus!!!!
I loved Rhys so much, he was a never ending surprise and I really enjoyed watching Parker peel over layers of herself to become the best version of herself that she has been holding back all this time. I loved the tension between them, the realization that they are not so different and their affection for each other. I really want a book about her best friend. 🤍
recommended! 🫶🏻

The male narrator is ruining it.

The male narrator is so annoying it almost makes you want to give up. the accent he makes is awful the voice he makes for Parker is terrible too.
He is better with voices without accent. Might aswell give up the accent if it makes it that you are unable to listen to it!

Really good story!

I really enjoyed this story a lot, the male narrator took a few chapters to get accustomed but it got better, it just seems t a bit over the top Bostonian accent but it really rings true to the story when you think about it. They are an unlikely couple but I loved it. I love the fact they communicated when problems arose instead of adding just unnecessary drama.

I have listened to this book more than twice which make it definitely a great find!

cute

Enjoyed this rom-com with hot grumpy guy and smart up-tight gal. Had enough steamy parts and good story line to keep it interesting and enjoyable. The male narrator was a little hard to get used to, but after a chapter or two, it didn't bother me anymore.

FANTASTIC!!

A must hear! Simple but a beautiful story. It only had 4 stars but it should definitely be 5 stars!
