Fake engagement. Real marriage. Both have an expiration date in this spicy marriage of convenience romantic comedy standalone from #1 NYT Bestselling Author Lauren Blakely performed in duet by Teddy Hamilton and Vanessa Edwin!
“Marry me.”
They were the last words I expected to say to my fake fiancé, but I’m the kind of guy who doesn’t back down from a challenge. Pretend I’m engaged to my gorgeous and talented business partner to secure a business deal?
No problem. Agree to a no-touch rule even though she’s been driving me wild since I met her?
Challenge accepted.
Resist grinning like a damn fool every time that same big-hearted, sunshine-y woman laughs with my little daughter?
Done. So, yeah, when my fake fiancé’s vindictive business rival threatens to expose our make-believe romance, I can handle that too. I’ll prove our engagement isn’t fake – by marrying her for real. A marriage with an expiration date at the end of the year.
But that’s when I run smack dab into the biggest challenge ever – not falling madly in love with my wife.

What starts out as a fake relationship quickly turns into a marriage with real feelings. The banter and camaraderie in this book was witty and I found myself through most of it. The relationship with Gage’s daughter, Eliza and his with Elodie’s sister, Amanda added an extra element to their story.
Both have struggled as single parents bringing up their charges and it was something that they bonded over and made their connection even stronger.
The Almost Romantic was an entertaining read with characters whose story I quickly became invested in. Vanessa Edwin and Teddy Hamilton were absolutely superb in their narration of this book. They captured the characters perfectly.
One of my favourites

🎧 the audio was fabulous. It doesn’t get better than duet narration! This one was a little different though, in that the main characters were duet narration but the people in their respective chapters were voiced by that narrator. I.e Vanessa did the voices for everyone in her chapter (male or female) EXCEPT the MMC, teddy would jump in and do his part. Vanessa & teddy are both talented voice actors and did great as always. (A minor gripe- can we please pronounce “tamale” correctly? 😩 as a Latina it drives me crazy)
📗I LOVED a taller MFC. So rarely in romance novels are the female main characters above 5’3 or 5’4. Shout out to the representation of taller gals! Also, the therapy rep was a breath of fresh air 🩷 worth a credit/purchase? Yes! Lauren does it again. 👏

Gage was holding onto some major relationship baggage from his first marriage but Elody just had a way of seeing things that helped him process that grief.
They started off as interested romantic partners to then business partners with a hint of romance to married to save her business to forever partners wit the help of their partners in crime lol (kids are amazing at times!)
It was so fun to watch Elody and Eliza form a mother daughter bond as much as it was fun to watch Gage and Elody form their bond.
The canter between them all was top notch! Aldo the girls and their spy seeking agenda was PERFECTION lol it’s just TERRIBLE that icky Sebastian went out of business 😂😂😂
The narration on this book was so eloquent and fun for my ears!
Teddy Hamilton is such a talented narrator and I thoroughly enjoy listening to a book where he is narrating.
Vanessa Edwin was absolutely perfect for this character. She very much made Elody alive in my mind and that doesn’t always happen for me. She is an amazing talent!
SO CUTE and FUN!

Narrated by: Vanessa Edwin & Teddy Hamilton
My Review:
My Rating: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Spice: 🌶🌶🌶
Pages: 376
Genre: Romance
Tropes: Forced Proximity, Fake Engagement, Marriage Of Convenience, Former Pro Athlete
Elodie is raising her 13 year old little sister and owner of a specialty chocolate shop. Too busy to date but she knows what she wants and will not settle.
Gage is a widower and raising his 11 year old daughter and owns a popular bar. Committed to expanding his bar and raising his daughter, he has no desire to date.
Needless to say they meet and end up going into business adventure together that necessitates they be a couple which leads to a fake engagement which leads to a quickie Vegas marriage that has a time limit.
Their banter will have you in stitches. I absolutely loved these two narrators and how they brought Elodie and Gage to life.
You should truly listen to this audiobook. This was my first Lauren Blakely book but definitely will not be my last!
Read this book, listen to the audiobook and find out how all the trickery works out for Elodie and Gage! I very highly recommend!

❓ I’m discovering with right narrators I prefer audiobooks. I want a female and a male working dually bringing the characters to life. I’m loving audiobooks but picky about the way they are done. Do you listen to audiobooks?
Amazingly!

This book was narrated by some of my favorite narrators and in duet! Teddy Hamilton and Vanessa Edwin just knocked this one out of the park. Teddy really embodied the suaveness of gage and Vanessa the fun and spunk of Elodie. This was such a fun book from start to finish, and there was even a little revenge on competing businesses, what more could you ask for?
The old school Blakely we know and love.
