About this listen

Can two men fake their way to marital bliss?

Caleb Taylor is shocked to learn his family could lose Bliss Island Resort - their home and livelihood - unless he makes use of a clause to marry the child of investor Louis Chastain. Sofia Chastain is more like a sister than a love interest. And Caleb isn’t ready to sign over his future. But Sofia has a brother, and Caleb has a plan.

Julien Chastain was disowned at 15 and has made a life as a go-go dancer in Miami, but he lives paycheck to paycheck. When his childhood friend proposes an outlandish marriage contract, he thinks he’s crazy. But it’s a chance at a future that’s tough to pass up.

Caleb and Julien must present themselves as an authentic couple for the legal loophole to work, but the lines between “fake” and “real” keep shifting as they navigate intimacy, public scrutiny, and sabotage.

Love isn't part of the plan, but plans change. If they can outsmart Julien's father and prove that their love is worth more than a transaction, they just might find a true happily ever after.

I really enjoyed this story. I loved the chemistry between Julian and Caleb. I hated Julian’s dad and still think he deserved a punch in the face from Caleb! Kenneth Obi once again did a fantastic job narrating. I highly recommend this audiobook.

Cute story

I love the fake relationship trope and this is a gem. Caleb and his mum run a wedding resort on a private island and when a loan that they didn't know about becomes due they are faced with a dilemma, either they loose the resort or he marries one of the children of the investor, Louis Chastain.
While Louis is determined that Caleb marry his daughter, Caleb decides to look up his old best friend, Julian Chastain.
Julian was disowned by his father when he was a teenager because he was gay and Caleb eventually tracks him down and proposes a marriage contract. Caleb is straight but the more time he spends with Julian the more he is attracted to him and it's only a matter of time before the lines between fake and real start to blur.

a fake relationship trope gem

The setting sounds beautiful and gets your imagination going, then comes the straight to bi story with a nasty father throwing his power in their faces but it has a beautiful romantic end..

The story is always full stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook.

The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. Kenneth Obi is one of the top 5 narrators (so far) for me, I can listen without break and have no problems to follow. I'm just not yet finish with the book, but I listen enough to give a review.

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!

To my ratings:

5* - very very good
it's like an A+

4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A

3* - it's more then a one-time-listening.
it's like a B

as great as the ebook
