Steamy!

I am such a sucker for books about marriage!

The format of fake marriage are all the same. Fake marry, love-hate relationship, then they spend time together, slowly falling in love, none of them would admit it, then BAM! They both fell in love when things suddenly go wrong. Every single book I read on fake marriage has the same format yet I never get tired of them.

The sexual tension between Jared and Sheridan just skyrocketed. The sexual tension between them was just there from the beginning. If there was one thing I don't like though was how cheesy and corny and cliche(like all romance books so I guess it didn't bother me much) it was in the beginning.

Just focus on the romance, guys. Because that's what romance books are all about. And the romance between Sheridan and Jared didn't fail me. Their conversations always brought a smile to my face. I love how they build up their relationship, that it's not all just lust.

I was having trouble with Deanna Hurst's narrating a little bit in the beginning. She didn't quite get Jared's tone right and it felt awkward at some parts. But as the story gets better, so did she.

A short and light romance read. A recommended one too!

This would be one of my fav contemporaries of all time. It has everything a contemporary book should have. And it is AMAZING!

This book is so funny and cute and adorable and emotional and thrilling and swoon-worthy. There are just so many scenes that I love so much. I just love every aspect from this book.

Both of the author & audiobook narrator captured Celeste's voice perfectly. She was very sheltered in the beginning of the book and I love the way she tried to break out of her shell little by little until she became a full-fledged duckling(is this even the right metaphor?). There are definitely character growth for all of the characters in this book. And all of the characters were so lovely and there is not one thing I hate about the characters.

In all of the funny, cute, emotional scenes, ect. There's a message that Jessica Park is trying to deliver. This book is about acceptance towards yourself. Accept who you are, love who you are, be yourself, don't change yourself for society and I think she nailed that.

A must-read to every contemporary lovers. And just everyone, literally. Like, really. Read it. I guarantee you, there'll be no regrets involved by the end of this book.

What did you like best about Secrets of the Elusive Lover: The Personal Journal of a Playboy (Books 1 & 2)? What did you like least?

Best: The narrating was great! Mark Torres did a really great job.Least: The plot was unoriginal. I predicted the story along the way.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

The age difference. That one is such a turn off. The MCs have an almost 2 decades age difference. Also, I liked the story but I feel that it lacked emotion.

Which character – as performed by Mark Torres – was your favorite?

Definitely Cassandra.

Was Secrets of the Elusive Lover: The Personal Journal of a Playboy (Books 1 & 2) worth the listening time?

Yes. It was a short listening time.

Any additional comments?

The ending however, I did not predicted that. It really was a good read. It just wasn't great. This will be a good read/listen for someone with time to spare.
