The Paradise Problem

De: Christina Lauren

Narrado por: Patti Murin, Jon Root

Christina Lauren, the instant New York Times bestselling and “reigning romance queens” (PopSugar) of modern classics such as The Unhoneymooners and Love and Other Words, returns with a swoonworthy novel following the buttoned-up heir of a grocery chain and his free-spirited artist ex as they fake their relationship in order to receive a massive inheritance.

Anna Green thought she was marrying Liam “West” Weston for access to subsidized family housing while at UCLA. She also thought she’d signed divorce papers when the graduation caps were tossed, and they both went on their merry ways.

Three years later, Anna is a starving artist living paycheck to paycheck while West is a Stanford professor. He may be one of four heirs to the Weston Foods conglomerate, but he has little interest in working for the heartless corporation his family built from the ground up. He is interested, however, in his one-hundred-million-dollar inheritance. There’s just one catch.

Due to an antiquated clause in his grandfather’s will, Liam won’t see a penny until he’s been happily married for five years. Just when Liam thinks he’s in the home stretch, pressure mounts from his family to see this mysterious spouse, and he has no choice but to turn to the one person he’s afraid to introduce to his one-percenter parents—his unpolished, not-so-ex-wife.

But in the presence of his family, Liam’s fears quickly shift from whether the feisty, foul-mouthed, paint-splattered Anna can play the part to whether the toxic world of wealth will corrupt someone as pure of heart as his surprisingly grounded and loyal wife. Liam will have to ask himself if the price tag on his flimsy cover story is worth losing true love that sprouted from a lie.

Fun, trope-ey romp!

4.5 stars, Possibly my favorite Christina Lauren book yet.
It gave Dharma & Gregg meets Succesion, with all the best romance tropes.
Plenty of tension without going overboard on drama, an excellent supporting cast of characters that you love to hate.
My only complaint: I love a happy ever after, but honestly this one had *so* many hurdles to overcome that it’s outside the realm of belief to have the perfect HEA in a bow.
Still a fantastic read!

I already miss this book!

I never wanted this book or this story to end. SO GOOD! Five stars! Make it a movie!

Great Summer Read

I LOVED this book and enjoyed every bit of it!!! One of my top favorites of the year!💕

Enjoyable summertime read.

I really enjoyed this audible book. The story was interesting, and the characters were funny. I found myself wanting to continue the listen, and looked forward to each chapter. It had mystery, romance and humor, the perfect combination for a summer read.

Narration is not it for me. Book is great,

Love this book! The voices and narration is a no for me.... the guys version of the girl voice sounds very drag queen... for lack of a better explanation! But it's a good book other than seeing it in that light.
