Sasha Evers was a history major from Boston who kept herself to herself and often struggled to make ends a meet.

So when a lucrative opportunity came up to be the pretend temporary bride to a mysterious British man she simply could not turn it down. The money was life-changing.

Love It, Love It, Love It

What did you like best about this story?

I love how driven Sasha is, and that she's a smart woman with real goals.

The resolution at the end in 100% my favorite. I'm not crying, you're crying.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Smart idiots, fake marriage, real love.

Any additional comments?

The narration is excellent. They don't make it explicitly clear that the story is beginning in England, but it becomes apparent quickly. Great plot, excellent characters, and effortless storytelling. I highly recommend this audio book. This is a voluntary review of a copy gifted by the writer and voice talent.

Review

This was an okay listen. I kept looking for some kind of spark but the story kind of fell short. The narration wasn't too bad.

Good romance

Where does The Billionaire's Fake Bride rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It was a nice romance, maybe two sex scenes ! I'm more of a paranormal romance reader so I consider this a light read! Good story ,nice characters.

What does Connor Brown bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I prefer audio and he had a pleasant voice

Enchanting story.

What did you love best about The Billionaire's Fake Bride?

I loved the story overall. Its a cute story and it has a happy ending and made you want more.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Sasha was my favorite character in the book. I loved that she was nerdy in her own way and that she did her own thing and yet was able to realize her mistakes in the end.

Have you listened to any of Connor Brown’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have never listened to Connor Brown before but I am in love! For me, he's right up there with Tom Stechschulte right now. He just needs some work on voices a bit of work with pronunciation of words for my tastes.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

There was a moment that moved me towards anger. The best friend seems like a manipulator and that made me mad. She seemed like she wanted to sabotage Sasha's relationship and keep her to herself.

Any additional comments?

This book is a cute story that's worth a listen to. There isn't much to complain about it and a long list of reasons to enjoy it. If there was only one thing I could tell someone about this book it would be, its worth the time to listen to it. Its an engaging book that you will want to listen to till the very end.

Romance

Book was alright. She took too long to get to sex scene. Needed more sexual tension. Nigel needed a love interest in book. A flirtation with Val or someone else

Good story line

Where does The Billionaire's Fake Bride rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This book has a really good story line. The characters are funny. Overall good escape story. You won't be disappointed.

How could the performance have been better?

The narration didn't match the characters name. Sometimes a little too much emphasis

Cute, fun and entertaining

Any additional comments?

This was just a fun and enjoyable story. A little more lighthearted romance without a major amount of angst. Perfect for those days when you want a good story without constant drama. Don't let the lack of major angst and drama throw you off. While the plot may be a bit predictable it's an entertaining and enjoyable story with enough little bumps and twists to keep the story interesting. It's reminiscent of a Pretty Woman type scenario.

How far would you go to get a little peace and quiet? A little slice of normal? There are actually people in the world who have no idea what celebrity is who. I'm one of them. Which made the story that much more plausible and fun for me.

While there is an attraction between Sasha and Landon that first kiss starts off a chain reaction of desire and want. When the attraction builds a simple business arrangement becomes a much more unexpected and intimate affair.

While there is a little bit of steamy romantic goodness it is not a major part of the story and is no where near (thank god) anything resembling Fifty Shade which is referenced in the synopsis.

Instantly likable cast of characters that are fun and interesting. Sasha, Landon, Nigel and even Sasha's "dream team" were all great characters.

Connor Brown did a great job with the narration as usual. Nice voice that is easy to listen to for long periods of time. The narration is clearly spoken with a nice smooth pace. Enjoyable slight English accents. Great character voices. Even his female voices were good. Gail's voice was grating and annoying but it fit her character, so it was perfect. He was able to bring the characters and story to life. Very enjoyable

So Much More Than I Was Expecting!

I voluntarily reviewed the Audible Version of this book.

I was so pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book! The narrator was awesome - he injected such emotion and depth to the various characters and did an excellent job infusing each with a unique voice and personality. The story was different from the other (very many) Billionaire Romances I've read - this one was international and featured not only an actor, but an interracial relationship. I loved how intelligent and independent the female lead was, she really was the perfect counterpart for the male lead so while it was no surprise when they actually fell for each other, it was such a fun ride to HEA. The secondary characters were excellent as well and I really enjoyed that there was attention given to friendships and other relationships throughout the book and not just the romance. I will definitely be reading more from Lena Skye and I look forward to listening to more books narrated by Connor Brown.

Great Story! Loved it!

What made the experience of listening to The Billionaire's Fake Bride the most enjoyable?

I really enjoyed the narration. that first and foremost helped the Characters really come to life. Then the Characters themselves were like-able and felt very genuine in their reactions to events happening around them. Not many sex scenes but that's ok, i don't always like a lot of those since it sometimes becomes the main focus instead of the story itself.

What other book might you compare The Billionaire's Fake Bride to and why?

I am not sure, i can't remember the names off the top of my head but if i saw them i would know them if i saw them

Which character – as performed by Connor Brown – was your favorite?

I really loved Grandma, she reminds me soo much of how my grandma was :)

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, i figured the end would be the way it was but i wanted to see how the story got us there.

A fake bride romance I can actually believe

I have to admit I don't normally listen to/read fake bride romances because they're often hard to believe, but Lena has succeeded in creating one that I could see happening in real life.

This book has some seriously likeable characters, Sasha and Landon are each fabulous characters on their own and the combine into a couple that I wanted to see succeed.

There's a good balance between things going right and things going wrong and there are a couple of twists that keep things interesting.

The narration was nice to listen to, there's a good flow and it's nicely paced and phrased. The character voices were all convincing and consistently delivered.
