Wreck Me

The Beckett Brothers, Book 1

De: L A Gallagher

Narrado por: Avery Caris, Sean Masters

A hot, forbidden love, age-gap romance

SCARLETT:

I’ve spent five years hiding in plain sight, burying my head in my books, courtesy of a scholarship at Dublin's most prestigious college. But now, for the first time in my life, I feel seen. Wanted. Desired. And I've awakened a need I never knew I had.

Enter James Beckett, a billionaire bachelor with a reputation as famous as his family’s whiskey empire, and he wants me to be his fake girlfriend until he conquers the next part of his empire.

He'll even tutor me through my final exams... and anything else I require tuition in.

But some educations come at a devastating price.

Our arrangement will either secure my future, or shatter my world…

JAMES:

Yet another scandal means I'm heartbeat away from being fired as CEO from my own family's whiskey distillery, unless I can prove to my father and The Board that I’ve shed my playboy reputation.

The last thing I want is a showpiece society wife.

Especially when I'm obsessed with The Luxor Lounge's newest dancer.

At only twenty-three, Scarlett radiates an innocence that drives me wild.

Fooling around with my fake girlfriend was always part of my plan.

Falling for her wasn’t.

She's everything I crave, but everything my father forbids.

Even if I can convince him that Scarlett is the one for me, she’s been keeping a secret.

One that could wreck me...

James & Scarlett!

LA Gallagher, you have my attention! This book has it all! I love a good age gap, alpha male, billionaire romance and this one definitely pushes all the right buttons. James and Scarlett meet under unusual circumstances, but their chemistry is real. Not only protecting her from a precarious situation, he offers her a fake relationship to help his playboy reputation out. But that close proximity leads to more and as things on the outside seem perfect, Scarlett holds a secret that can destroy them. But will it? I love getting to know a family and the Becketts are proving to be a lot of fun. The siblings have the fun banter and at the same time have the support for each other. And the spice, the banter, and the relationship that builds between James and Scarlett was fun. I enjoyed this one!

I think the choice of Avery Caris and Sean Masters were an amazing choice for these two characters. The Irish brogue just adds to the charisma they bring to the table as they bring out all the feelings. I loved this team and loved their performance.

So good

Duet narration - Sean Masters & Avery Caris

My first book by this author and I truly enjoyed it. I loved the narrators. They did the accents so well it felt and sounded natural.

James is the oldest of the Beckett brothers and he’s known as a playboy never being seen with the same women more than one time. He is in some hot water with his families company and his father is forcing him to settle down. He has one year to find a wife or his father will choose one for him.

Scarlett is in a mountain of debt and almost finished with college getting her degree in finance. Taking a well paying job at a high end gentleman’s club with her best friend she did not expect to find the man of her dreams.

This slow burn is full of tension, secrets, and great banter. I am looking forward to more audios in this series.

Loved it!

Narration by Avery Caris and Sean Masters was delightful and perfect to voice Scarlett and James.

She wears an expression as if she’s lived a hundred lives but still not quite found what she’s looking for, and it stirs something deep in my soul.

You’ll enjoy this one if you like fake dating, insta lust, billionaire romance, twists, steamy scenes, age gap, he falls first

This series is starting off HOT! 🔥

Story - ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Spice - 🌶🌶🌶
Narration - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wreck Me is book #1 in The Beckett Brothers series. This is my first listen by the author and I am now a fan for this series! I mean, the bonus prologue starts off HOTT!!!!🔥 Based in Ireland, the Becketts have a whiskey empire along with some clubs, hotels, restaurants, etc., and I can't wait to hear all their stories. James Beckett is CEO of the family business, a total man-ho, and now the center of a sex scandal. Scarlett Fitzgerald is a student close to achieving her Master's in Finance, but working as a pole dancer to pay tuition. She's smart, young, still holds her V-card, and has caught the obsessive attention of James. He needs to clean up his image with the board, she needs the money, so a fake dating arrangement is the answer. Family secrets, threats from a rival distillery, and a spicy age-gap relationship made this story completely binge-worthy.

The duet narration was total perfection with both casting and performance. Sean Masters and Avery Caris (and Maxine Mitchell cameo) gave us accents for days and spice that kept my ears smoking! Loved, loved, loved this cast. 5/5 stars!

Great first book and intro to author

🎧⭐️ALC Review⭐️🎧

I dove head first into this book, and even after reading the blur, there were surprises throughout the entire book. This one was my first by LA Gallagher, and I really enjoyed this book and look forward to hearing more form the Beckett brothers. This book is complex and interesting and I always love a midden identity, in my books. Scarlett’s sweetness and innocence is portrayed so well by Avery Caris, and I will never have enough of Sean Masters. That man could read gibberish and I would still listen happily. There is a family dynamic here that I can’t wait to explore in the rest of this series.

Scarlett just wants to stay in the shadows, but the money she can earn from dancing is needed as she works to finish her degree. On her first night she catches the eye of the last man she thought would ever look at her and the one she cannot get involved with.

Beckett is in trouble with his family and the board. They are tired of the bad press from his playboy ways, so when his father says he will be married by the end of the year, Beckett decides to age matters into his own hands.

Pretending to be in a relationship is easier than either of them thought it would be, and soon those pretend acts of love and intimacy become all too real. So, what happens when Beckett and his family found out who Scarlett really is and the past she has been running from for the last 5 years?
