Length: 9 hrs and 29 mins

Publisher's summary

The only thing worse than fake marrying a woman for a job is falling in love with her! An opposites-attract lesbian romance that puts the ache in fake relationship.

Driven, reserved businesswoman Mackenzie Watson has one goal—take over her family company and secure her little sister's future. The only wrinkle is her late grandmother's decree that her company's CEO must be married.

Adding marriage into Mack's well-ordered life is a recipe for disaster. Her oh-so-logical solution? She'll just hire a woman to be her wife for a year. Besides, maybe a little chaos is exactly what she needs . . .

Enter Taylor Sutton, the woman Mack accidentally stood up for a date six months ago. With a mountain of college debt, the barista could seriously use the money that comes with playing Mack's wife. The big hitch—so to speak—is that her new wife is pretentious and arrogant and Taylor can't stand even being in the same room with her.

God, Taylor pities anyone who'd fall in love with annoying, gorgeous Mack Watson and her kissable lips.

Wait, what?

Contains mature themes.

Worth The Credit

I enjoyed the story, especially the relationships & friendships featured. The little sister is a bundle of cuteness, refreshingly adorable. I most liked her in that Cafe scene , could just picture it playing out🤭

I lovethis HEA

the MC were beautiful in their own way. I love that Taylor was not made to have body shame issue. that she embrace her curve. Abby cradden is always wonderful with narrating. Def recommend

Overall a good listen

Overall this is a good listen. It did feel like it took a little bit of a long time to get to point with some repetitive angsty scenarios but that seems to be how most romance novels work. The characters are likable and the story is interesting enough to hold your attention. Would recommend.

I thought I would croak before their first kiss.

Long story, love came in late, but it was there and kept building. Good ending.

Endearing

I kept rooting for the MC who definitely had more depth to her than she presented. This is a story about a person despite their own personal challenges and social awkwardness rises to the greater good to provide for her much younger sister and gain control of the family business. The only solution to maintain her status is get married. She makes an offer to Taylor Sutton to marry her until she can secure her postion in her family's company as CEO. The story was well developed and believable.
The author did a very good job developing the Character of Mack.

the story was sweet the formatting from the speaker was a bit confusing at first but it only improved through the book and the character interactions make them feel so genuine. plus the pop culture references littered about are adorable and funny to notice

Sweet

Very entertaining, sweet story. Not everything is as it appears. There’s more to people than an outer shell. Great narration as well.

Positive and romantic with an actual plot.

I loved this book. Reminds you of all of the you experienced with your first crush, but in an adult timeframe. Sweet and steamy without being overly sexual.
