The Billionaire's Fake Fiancée

Billionaires of Manhattan, Book 4

By: Annika Martin

Narrated by: Neva Nevarre, Jason Clarke

I’m no Prince Charming, and the last thing I want is a Cinderella.

My instructions were simple: Scour the city for a fake fiancée who’s not my type at all. Have her on my jet Monday morning, dressed for a yacht vacation.

I need a woman believable enough to convince a certain client that I’ve changed my playboy ways...yet too annoying to tempt me - no emotional entanglements, thank you very much. This is business only.

If she’s unfazed by my looks and wealth, all the better.

Should be easy. Right?

Apparently not, because my people go and hire Tabitha. My hairdresser.

What were they thinking? Yes, I said annoying, but I didn’t mean her, the most aggravating woman in the world.

Tabitha is sunshiny. She has a pet hamster. She loves Hello Kitty, and she gets under my skin like nobody else.

As if that’s not bad enough, the minute we step on deck, she thinks that certain people on the yacht are up to something shady - based completely on her soap opera knowledge.

She won’t listen when I tell her she’s being ridiculous.

But as the days go by, I find that we’re actually having fun. And our fake kisses are heating up. And suddenly her wild theories aren’t sounding so strange after all...

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

Characters talking tropes is a kind of sly fourth wall break

Loved the writing, loved the narrators (yay Neva Navarre!) loved the heroine’s story. She felt so like a real person that I bet the author has a friend with some of her quirks. The “not gonna love again, nu-uh no way never” trope can be tedious but was pushed just the right amount. It takes a masterful hand.

But what really worked was the female characters all knowingly joking about tropes that is almost but not quite a fourth wall break. Romcom aficionados will appreciate this like a sly wink and a nudge.

so wonderful

I smiled and chuckled more while listening to this than almost any I have. Just past the middle it stopped being so fun but by then I was completely wrapped up in what turned out to be an interesting and well written story. Yep, time to buy the next one. Peace

Happy face!

I enjoyed this journey for the characters. The storyline was whimsical with spicy notes added in here and there. I never want this series of books to end!

recommend

this was a cool story. narration was good. recommend spending a credit on it. can't wait to read the rest in the series

loved the book but female voice actor is not good

LOVED the book, but the female voice actor performamce is not great and often took me out of the story. her acting and pronunciations are often weird, constantly saying the male main characters name as RAX not REX. it was disappointing.

WONDERFUL

These voice recorders are amazing. I love listening to them. And Annika Martin is a romantic comedy genius.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW & RATING: First LISTENED June 2021
5++ Outstanding STARS

Jason Clarke & Neva Nevarre brought this already perfect story to life for me, now for the second or third time (I've lost track lol), and made me laugh even harder and swoon for the longest time! I only thought I loved this book until I got ahold of the audio! PERFECT!!

STORY REVIEW & RATING: First READ & REVIEWED in 2020

Rating this book 5 stars just doesn't seem like enough. This story was epically glorious on multiple levels ! The amount of time I spent laughing and smiling while reading this book should be criminal. I extended my reading time of this book to two days just so I could feel total happiness a little bit longer. The world is in crisis right now and Annika Martin has come to the rescue!

Listen, I've been reading Annika's work for a lot of years. I've met her in person. She is one of my all time favorite humans. Don't mistake my praise for this book because I genuinely like the woman because believe me when I say that if this book was any less than absolute perfection, I would tell you. Honestly, it is absolute perfection.

I'm not going to give you plot points on the story because I want every word, every page, every scene, every everything to unfold for you organically and without prejudice. Well, except for the part up there where I told you it's perfect LOL I do however want to touch on one thing. This is a romantic comedy but that's not all it is. This story, especially Rex , was like the metamorphosis of a butterfly. If you pay close attention, the growth and evolvement that Rex goes thru in this story was like watching a butterfly come to life. His grumpy, self-involved self went thru distinct stages of growth that made the story stand out for me. It wasn't just a romance journey it was way more and I hope all of you decide to take this ride because it is just excellent! #TRUST

4 Stars

This was the perfect kind of fun that I needed. It was fairly low angst, more of a comedy-slash-mystery, and I was totally into it. It helps that I'm a Soap Opera fan and could remember some of the storylines and characters that came up. I wasn't sold on the audiobook voicing for the heroine, but it wasn't because it was bad, it just didn't fit how I thought the voice would be. I liked seeing all of the girl gang, even though I haven't read all of their stories

LOVE all of her books

Her books are so funny with great relationships and character development. It makes you want to find a billionaire of your own!

I also love the Character voices they are perfect.
