The Pretenders of Copper County

De: May Archer

Narrado por: Michael Dean

It was supposed to be a straightforward protection job. Remove the target from Vermont, get him to the safehouse, keep him there until his mafia uncle testifies, get back in my employer’s good graces.

Boom, done. Easy.

But it turns out things get complicated real fast when your target is an adorkable, accident-prone cutie with a shockingly low sense of self-preservation, zero clue that he’s related to the Fromadgio crime boss, and 100% too much inclination to chat happily with strangers.

When Chris compromises our safehouse (and accidentally starts a “lowkey, unavoidable” bar fight), our only option is to go undercover… pretending to be campground hosts in Copper County, New York.

Make that married campground hosts. (Long story).

Now I’m hiding out with a guy who’s obsessed with action-adventure shows and hand-knit sweaters, and whose most fearsome talent is arranging charcuterie boards, all of which is far less helpful in a gunfight than you might think.

And worst of all… the sweet little virgin I rescued is growing on me.

Somehow I find myself listening to his happy chatter when I should be watching the woods, trying to figure out how his mind works when I should be getting us out of this predicament, and appreciating the way he looks in my shirts when I should be focused on getting my career back on track.

But when the Fromadgios’ enemies finally find us, protecting Chris is no longer just a job. I’ll do anything to protect what’s mine… and there’s nothing pretend about it.

Very enjoyable story.

I really liked this story. I tried, a few times, to guess where the story was going, sometimes even got it right...nice twists. Chris & Reed are a great couple. Love Copper County. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series. Michael Dean did a great job with narration…as usual.

A hilarious consistency of misunderstandings

Loved it!
Chris’ character is just so sweet and unaware but resilient. A breath of fresh air from most characters.
Reed- the broody grump who finds his own way back to himself through all of Chris’ quirks.
If you like Grumpy/Sunshine & Fake Relationships- give this a chance. You will not be disappointed.

Brilliant from start to end

That has to be the most hilarious first few chapters of a book I have ever listened to. I was snort laughing!

Lovely romance, some plot twists, but all in all a great story by one of my favorites! And of course, narration on point as always!

5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Chris & Reed

I LOVED this book. I am so glad I bought it when I saw it and jumped right in. Chris needs to be protected at all costs he is sweet and precious.
He is clueless and so trusting, he is very likeable you just want to be around him.

There were some silly misunderstandings and usually, that would drive me batty, but I loved it. I don’t know why I just did.

Reed, oh, Reed he doesn’t know what he is getting into when it comes to Chris, and he is about to fall hard. I was so very here for it! How do you protect someone who doesn’t know they need protecting and doesn’t believe you're just doing your job?

I loved the small town! I need more asap!
The narration from Michael Dean was perfect too.

The Funniest Book I've Ever Listened to!

This book is hilariously laugh out loud funny! Excellent plot, likable characters, and perfect narration. Highly recommend!
