Publisher's summary

Narrated in duet by Alastair Haynesbridge and Sophie Daniels, this is the first book in the hilarious, spicy small town Queen's Cove series.

My arrogant fake fiancé? I can't stand him.

Cocky and charismatic Emmett Rhodes isn’t the relationship kind of guy, but now that he’s running for mayor of our small town, his bachelor past is hurting the campaign.

Thankfully, I'm the last woman who would ever fall for him.

We're total opposites—he's a golden retriever and I'm sharp and snarky, but he’ll cosign on my restaurant loan if I play his devoted fiancée. Between romantic dates, a prom night re-do, and visits to a secret beach, things heat up, and the line between real and ruse is lit on fire. I see another side of Mr. Popular, and now I wonder if I was all wrong.

We can’t keep our hands off each other, but it’s all for show…right?

A sizzling, hilarious, enemies-to-lovers fake dating rom-com with an HEA. This is the first book in the Queen’s Cove series.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Whoa I wanted to tell Emmet to pump the brakes a little there. Every time she agreed to something, he threw out another request. There was no third act breakup and I thought the third act conflict was handled well. I enjoyed their banter too.

Cute story

This book had a cute storyline but had to much spice and language for me. If you like to play drinking games just take a shot every time this book says cock and you will be drunk by the 4th chapter. Will not be finishing the series.

great performance and cute story

the story flowed nicely but did seem a little rushed at the end. the characters banter back and forth was great and there were many times I literally laughed out loud at them. the narrators where perfect for the characters and really brought them to life. can't wait to listen to the next one in the series.

Cute small town fake relationship romance!

I liked this a lot, it’s an easy read and I liked the progression of frenemies to lovers. Avery is independent and her only goal in the next few years is to buy the restaurant she manages and fulfill her dream of owning the restaurant. Emmett loves people, his family, friends, and has never met a stranger. He needs a new challenge and notices there’s a change needed in town hall and decides to run for mayor so the town he loves can get the much-needed upgrades. The polls aren’t as favorable as he’d like — enter an agreement with Avery to boost his family man/trustworthy mayoral candidacy and a way to secure Avery’s dream restaurant! It’s funny, cute, spicy, heartwarming.

Loved

I received an ARC of this and loved it, it took me a while to warm to the female narrator, but I’ve added a new favourite male narrator to my list! I read the book last year and loved and loved the audio, I can’t wait for the rest of the series!

Love a small town romance and enemies to lovers vibe

I had read the That Kind of Guy ebook last month so I was excited to receive an ARC of this audiobook. This audiobook really made Emmett and Avery’s characters come to life and I loved the narrators. I am all about small town romance and enemies to lovers vibes with just the right amount of spice and witty banter; and That Kind of Guy had that. I’m normally not a big fan of fake dating/fake engagement trope but it worked for this story and this element made the spice and the banter better than what I was expecting.

I definitely would recommend to friends to listen to audio as well as read the rest the series to still get a glimpse of Emmett and Avery in their friends and families.

P.S. We love turtles over here. Sorry, Emmett. Lol

Cute Listen!

This book was really fun to listen to. I couldn't put it down and devoured it in two days...which is not normal for me for an audiobook haha. I adored Emmett and Avery's relationship. How they went from bickering to tolerating to falling in love with each other. Throw in a fake fiance/marriage of covenicence and you've got an instant win from me! lol.

I really enjoyed listening to this audio - um hello duet narration which is probably the best thing ever! The narrators were super easy to listen to!

Overall, if you want a light, fun, SPICY, rom-com with no 3rd act breakup - start here! Also - it takes place in Canada so that's another WIN from me!!!
