The Fiancee Farce

A Novel

By: Alexandria Bellefleur

Narrated by: Lauren Sweet

Lambda Literary award winner and national bestselling author Alexandria Bellefleur returns with a steamy sapphic rom-com about a quiet bookseller and a romance novel cover model who agree to a modern-day marriage of convenience...

Tansy Adams’ greatest love is her family’s bookstore, passed down from her late father. But when it comes to actual romance… Tansy can’t get past the first chapter. Tired of her stepfamily’s questions about her love life, Tansy invents Gemma, a fake girlfriend inspired by the stunning cover model on a bestselling book. They’ll never actually meet, so what’s the harm in a little fib? Yet when real-life Gemma crosses Tansy’s path, her white lie nearly implodes.

Gemma van Dalen is a wild child, the outcast of her wealthy family, and now the latest heir to Van Dalen Publishing. But the title comes with one tiny condition: she must be married in order to inherit. When Gemma discovers a beautiful stranger has been pretending to date her for months, she decides to take the charade one step further—and announces their engagement.

Gemma needs a wife to meet the terms of her grandfather’s will and Tansy needs money to save her struggling bookstore. A marriage could be mutually beneficial, if they can fool everyone into thinking it’s a love match. Unexpected sparks fly as Tansy and Gemma play the role of affectionate fiancées, and suddenly the line between convenient arrangement and real feelings begins to blur. But the scheming Van Dalen family won’t give up the company without a fight, and Gemma and Tansy’s newfound happiness might get caught in the fallout…

All the feels!

I loved this story! It really did make me feels all the feels! It was sweet and heartbreaking at times and funny! I’m a huge fan of her writing! She writes characters that you want to be friends with! I love that characters from each of her books tie in somehow with each story! I also love this narrator! I’m sad I finished! Can’t wait until the next one!

Wonderful story!

Worth the wait! Another great story from Alexandria Bellefleur. I must say the combination of her stories with Lauren Sweet as narrator makes all the difference in the world. This story has all the feels!

Excellent Book in Every Way.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. The author gives us delightful characters with laugh out loud dialogue, and villainous characters you imagine throat punching. The narration was top notch. At no point did the narration distract from or diminish the story. I'm going right now to read more from this author.

Perfection

The sweetest story with perfect narration. Loved every second if it. Put it on your TBR.

Short and cute

It’s a nice palate cleanser story. I enjoyed the quick listen. It’s exactly what you want in a cute romance story.
