About this listen
Amazon #5 bestseller
He’s my brother’s best friend
My fake husband...
And doesn’t believe in love
Nathan Davenport, CEO of the Davenport empire is my complete opposite.
He hates chocolate. I’m a size sixteen dessert chef.
He only wears black. I love glitter and pink.
He’s grumpy, while I look on the brighter side of life.
Too bad his piercing eyes, and high cheekbones haunt my dreams.
When he offers to loan me the money to save my bakery.
I have no choice but to agree.
Except he has conditions:
I must pretend to be his wife for a year
I must fake my feelings for him so his family believes our relationship.
I must stay by his side for the duration of our arrangement so he can claim his inheritance.
I don’t even like the man, surely I can get through this charade without developing feelings for him?
Except living in close proximity with him, our chemistry escalates
I know I am falling for the wrong man.
For when I tell him: “I love you,” he growls: “Love was never part of the equation...”
This is an opposites attract, forced proximity, one-bed, marriage of convenience, and a brother's best friend, billionaire romance with a plus size FMC. It is a complete standalone.

Story
He's my brother's best friend... And completely out of bounds... One look from Nathan Davenport makes my heart stutter. Six feet three inches of pure muscle with stormy blue eyes that see right through me. He's everything I've dreamed about since I was sixteen. And snuck glances as he trained with my brother in our backyard. Not that he noticed... He’s the decorated Royal Marine who commands every room he enters. I'm the curvy girl who hides behind textbooks and oversized hoodies. He’s the definition of off-limits–my brother's best friend,...

Sinclair Amadeus Sterling, a.k.a. Mr. Superior Jackass with a God complex. Who also happens to be my blackmailer...gulp. Tall, dark, gazillionaire growly pants. The first time I met him, I kneed him in his very well endowed balls - don't ask! He had that tightly leashed, controlling air and a smoldering glare that made me damp in seconds. The only thing that sucks worse than his attitude is his (lack of) sense of humor! Honest. Sadly, he's also the one who could save my business from going bust. Hell!

I caught her staring at me from across the quad, eyes fixed on the football jersey stretched across my wide chest. And if I flexed my muscles, showing off the strength of a defensive tackle, it was just to see her blush. And then she did, and I couldn’t get her out of my mind. Her wide eyes. The freckles on her cheeks. I needed to know her. The girl who scampered away every time we bumped into each other—by accident and by design.

He proposed . . . and I said yes. Normally a jovial occasion for a couple in love, but this proposal has a very different feel. Because the man that I'll be calling my husband blew into town with one thing on his mind . . . to make my life a living nightmare. So why did I say yes? Well, because we both need something from each other. Namely, I want the farm land he currently owns, and he needs a wife in order to inherit his family cabin in his grandfather’s will. So as he so eloquently put it, my hand, for his land.

Beckett Langfield is grumpy, rich and hates kids. I’m an overworked, overstressed, and overweight single mom. The only reason we’re getting married is because he needs to fix a PR disaster and I am available. As in sitting next to him, in a bar, when he has this brilliant idea. Considering I just got divorced, I’m not looking to do that again. But Beckett makes me an offer that I literally can’t refuse, so I don’t.

Being a single dad while managing one of the biggest businesses in New Orleans keeps me very busy. I spend my free time with my daughter, Bella—reading to her, styling her hair, or choosing nail polishes appropriate for an eight-year-old. But I’m okay with that, because she is my whole world. After my divorce, I made myself a promise: I wouldn’t date until Bella was older. Then, all my good intentions go up in smoke when I hire our newest chef for the flagship restaurant in the French Quarter.

Emmett Lasker is impossible to work for. He might be model handsome and stupidly wealthy, but he also has it out for me. He’s given me more last-minute and weekend requests than anyone else, ruining any plans I make. I should quit. And I will. Just as soon as I hit my two-year anniversary and earn out my signing bonus. But after a particularly awful day at work, a breakup (via text!), and my computer crashing, I’ve had enough! So at 11:59 Friday night, I barge into Emmett’s office to tell him what I really think of him. Only, that’s not what happens. AT ALL.

From New York Times & USA Today Bestseller, Vi Keeland, comes a steamy new romance novel. The rules: No dating. No sex outside of the game. No disclosing the terms of the contract. Rules were made to be broken, right? Eight weeks ago I signed a contract. One that seemed like a good idea at the time. A handsome bachelor, luxury accommodations, and a chance to win a prize my family desperately needed. There were some rules though. Lots of them actually. Follow the script, no dating, sex, or disclosing the terms of the deal.

The man who promised to love me "'til death do us part." I never thought I'd get the chance to see him again, to ask how he could betray me. Until one day, I discover he's alive.

I’m just so exhausted—always living on the edge of desperation, one paycheck away from ruin. But this new job… It could be the fresh start I need. It could change everything. The contract is only for three months, but if I keep my head down, work hard, and prove myself, maybe I could stay longer. Maybe I could make Black Mountain Lodge my home. As I pull down the gravel drive, surrounded by the forest and mountains and bright blue skies, I feel something I haven’t felt in a while. I feel hope.

Story
Beckett: If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have. I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.

The only thing that sucks worse than his attitude is his (lack of) sense of humor! Honest. Sadly, he's also the one who could save my business from going bust. Hell!

He proposed . . . and I said yes. Normally a jovial occasion for a couple in love, but this proposal has a very different feel. Because the man that I'll be calling my husband blew into town with one thing on his mind . . . to make my life a living nightmare. So why did I say yes? Well, because we both need something from each other. Namely, I want the farm land he currently owns, and he needs a wife in order to inherit his family cabin in his grandfather’s will. So as he so eloquently put it, my hand, for his land.

Cash Ryatt is a distraction. It's no secret the bad boy race car driver has built a reputation from two things. Winning and fu-front-page headlines. I've read he's the best at both, but I have no intention of finding out firsthand. I have my own plans, and they don't include making the gossip sites as his next one-night stand. My three older brothers, his bosses, would never stand for it anyway. So, how did I find myself daydreaming about the one man I've been forbidden from dating? His mere proximity causes my heart to beat wildly in my chest.

The man who promised to love me "'til death do us part." I never thought I'd get the chance to see him again, to ask how he could betray me. Until one day, I discover he's alive. Except, he has no idea who I am. I never truly knew my husband. And now, he doesn't know me.

He promised we’d be together forever, and then left me with a broken heart. Now, ten years later, Jace Jacobs is standing at my door. Sexier than he’s ever been. Successful and powerful.

Shouldn’t need.

I caught her staring at me from across the quad, eyes fixed on the football jersey stretched across my wide chest. And if I flexed my muscles, showing off the strength of a defensive tackle, it was just to see her blush. And then she did, and I couldn’t get her out of my mind. Her wide eyes. The freckles on her cheeks. I needed to know her. The girl who scampered away every time we bumped into each other—by accident and by design.

Hot and steamy
The only complaint I have is that I was not in the right space of mind for the ptsd, and other mental issues that popped up towards the end of the book. I cried for the last few chapters, my heart felt too much of the story. I loved the happily ever after though, very satisfying.

Steele knows her way around the heart.
Steele knows her way around the heart. From the waltz of temptation to the two-step of heartache, The Unwanted Wife tangos it's way into your soul. Skylar and Nathan turn a conveniently, inconvenient marriage into an accidentally perfect second chance. Sweet and sultry never loses sight of the emotion that romance entails.

The twist!!
This was spicier than I expected, and it had a big twist I also wasn’t expecting! I really enjoyed Nate and Skylar’s love story. They’re definitely destined to be together, despite their crazy history. This audio was fantastic, and I can’t imagine anyone could’ve been better as the narrators than Shane East and Roxy Isles. I loved the narration!

I can’t wait to listen to book 2
The Unwanted Wife is book 1 in The Davenports series by L. Steele. This was my first time reading a book by L. Steele and now I can’t wait to listen to book 2 on audio!
Skylar is a plus sized bakery owner who loves spicy books and is super witty. Nathan is a broody billionaire and ex-marine with PTSD. He is also Skylar’s brother’s best friend. On Skye’s 18th birthday she kisses Nathan and despite kissing her back, he ends up walking away. Fast forward a few years and Nathan is standing in Skye’s bakery offering to help save her bakery from closing, but with one catch - she has to marry him first.
I really enjoyed this story! I will say at one point I felt a little confused and was wondering if I had missed something, but then there was a huge twist that left me in tears. There were actually a couple of twists that both had me crying, which I did not expect! Nathan’s possessiveness was over the top and I ate it up. I loved Skylar’s quick wit and playful personality. I have officially started using TV show names in place of swear words now too. 🙃
The narration was fantastic! It had been awhile since I have had the pleasure of listening to Shane East, and he did not disappoint. He portrayed Nathan’s dominant and demanding personality just as I imagined. This was my first time listening to Roxy Isles and she was amazing! Between the writing and her performance, she had me laughing and crying. I can’t wait to listen to more from her.

Everything was just mediocre to me, the story, the performance; no doubt they are both good narrators separately but together there was no spark and quite dull. I liked that she was a plus size girl who loved sweets but that’s about it.

Brother's Best Friend - Marriage of Convenience
The Unwanted Wife by L. Steele is a brother's best friend marriage of convenience romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Shane East and Roxy Isles. This is the first book in The Davenports series.
This is the first book of L. Steele's that I have read, and it won't be my last. I was hooked from the very beginning and couldn't to see how it would all play out. I really enjoyed the relationship between Nathan and Skylar. I loved that we got both of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.
I look forward to jumping into the next book in the series The Imperfect Marriage so I can get Quentin and Vivian's story.
Shane and Roxy did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.
I would recommend this book if you're looking for a brother's best friend romance, marriage of convenience romance, or a billionaire romance.

Angsty, heavy with ptsd, and amazing narration
Story Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (0-5)
Narration: 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧 (0-5)
Overall: 4/5
Steam: 🔥🔥🔥🔥 (0-5) public-ish places & mild bdsm
What I’m Starry-Eyed Over:
🤩 The Unwanted Love audiobook (same narrators) is a teaser for this book and totally worked on me, so here I am.
🤩 The duet narration is fantastic—these two are so sensual and make me feel enormous feels! Who is Roxy Isles and where has she been all my life? She’s perfect as Skylar, laugh out loud hilarious, and I definitely want to read more of her narration. Shane East is fabulous as grumpy, shmumpy, shmexy Nate!
🤩 Take me to Primrose Hill—I’l be hanging out at The Fearless Kitten bakery!
🤩 I love Nate’s reaction to Skylar being on a date.
🤩 I’m a sucker for a “You’re so big” moment!
🤩 Shane East doing Nate’s “f-*-c-k!!”
🤩 “You’re mine, baby. You’ve been mine since the first time I kissed you.”
🤩 Oh, goodness, Luna and Arrow put me over the edge in emotions. I bawled. 😭
What I’m Wishing/Dizzy About:
💫 I don’t think I’m a fan of primal play kink, but these two MCs sure like it.
💫 The use of “plus-size body” is overdone, and I really don’t believe Nate would think this way. The other descriptions (curvy, flare of her hips, etc.) yes.
💫 Not enough fun, funny, and steamy to balance out the heavy ptsd type trauma feels (for my preference).
💫 I knew to expect something with her brother, but, wow, it’s extra twisty, dark, hard, and depressing. But it’s definitely cleverly written.
💫 I might have lost my focus during the Davenport family business meeting.
💫 I’m definitely interested in the next book—it’s the ex-fiance’s dad trope.

Nathan Freakin Davenport...yummy
The narrators were perfect. This book had humor, supportive friends, secrets revealed, revenge plan, a dysfunctional family, surprising twists, and undeniable chemistry between Nate and Skylar. The author did an excellent job pulling me into the story. I am excited to continue reading this series by L. Steele.

Top notch characters and storytelling
Take a curvy struggling baker with image issues, and a billionaire former Marine with PTSD.
Add best friend's sister, forced marriage, revenge, a lot of red herrings, and mix well.
Bake at high heat, drizzling the batter with sex, romance, and a little gentle consensual primal play. (Can you say, "Run..."?)
Serve this enjoyable story with tissues for the inevitable leaking eyes.

Fun with emotional turmoil
CURVY MFC
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE
CLOSE PROXIMITY
BROTHER’s BEST FRIEND
GRUMPY MMC
POSSESSIVE MMC
As always Shane Easton and Roxie Isles were wonderful. Shane protested the growly, possessive Nate to perfection. And Roxie held her end with the opposite personality of Skylar. Entertaining and easy to follow along.
Fast paced story with a very possessive, jealous MMC. Nate was over the top possessive. Everything was “my wife” he took a helicopter to her when he found out his brother was with her. He showed up on her “ date” with another man. He was obsessed.
Skylar is a great character. A book nerd who loves the steamy reads. She is a baker. The dessert names make us all want to visit her bakery.
The story was fun to read. The banter was great. It also hit us emotionally. Skylar and Nate had some deep traumas. Together they made each other a bit better.
Good story with solid characters. These is a bit of mystery and a nice plot twist.
