Publisher's summary

The only thing worse than fake marrying a woman for a job is falling in love with her! An opposites-attract lesbian romance that puts the ache in fake relationship.

Driven, reserved businesswoman Mackenzie Watson has one goal—take over her family company and secure her little sister's future. The only wrinkle is her late grandmother's decree that her company's CEO must be married.

Adding marriage into Mack's well-ordered life is a recipe for disaster. Her oh-so-logical solution? She'll just hire a woman to be her wife for a year. Besides, maybe a little chaos is exactly what she needs . . .

Enter Taylor Sutton, the woman Mack accidentally stood up for a date six months ago. With a mountain of college debt, the barista could seriously use the money that comes with playing Mack's wife. The big hitch—so to speak—is that her new wife is pretentious and arrogant and Taylor can't stand even being in the same room with her.

God, Taylor pities anyone who'd fall in love with annoying, gorgeous Mack Watson and her kissable lips.

Wait, what?

Contains mature themes.

The narrator is really good at the different parts.

I loved that they became a family. That they were good at communicating and supporting each other.

Very good listen

I loved the complexity of the two main characters, but disliked that both were so fearful. I enjoyed the book very much, but was annoyed that the characters were both afraid to put their feelings into words.

I thought I would croak before their first kiss.

Long story, love came in late, but it was there and kept building. Good ending.

Endearing

I kept rooting for the MC who definitely had more depth to her than she presented. This is a story about a person despite their own personal challenges and social awkwardness rises to the greater good to provide for her much younger sister and gain control of the family business. The only solution to maintain her status is get married. She makes an offer to Taylor Sutton to marry her until she can secure her postion in her family's company as CEO. The story was well developed and believable.
The author did a very good job developing the Character of Mack.

Positive and romantic with an actual plot.

I loved this book. Reminds you of all of the you experienced with your first crush, but in an adult timeframe. Sweet and steamy without being overly sexual.

Sweet Story!

This was a very sweet story with an interesting plot development. The two main characters Mack and Taylor were downright adorable! The little sister Sophie was so cute and quasi grown up trying to protect her big sister Mack.

Overall, the whole story was very good and Abby Craden as the narrator was excellent!

Overall a good listen

Overall this is a good listen. It did feel like it took a little bit of a long time to get to point with some repetitive angsty scenarios but that seems to be how most romance novels work. The characters are likable and the story is interesting enough to hold your attention. Would recommend.

Unfinished

The story was good, nice dialogue, Abby C was great as usual, but what happened to the bitch girlfriend? There were too many
Strings left dangling! There is/was more story to tell.
