Fake Wife

Crazy Love Series, Book 1

De: Stacey Lynn

Narrado por: Pippa Jayne, John Lane

This marriage is strictly business... until the temptation gets way too real.

Corbin: I loved my grandma, but I don't need her money. All I care about is keeping the house - the only place that's ever felt like home. That, and screwing over my dad, who wants to turn the property into a mall. There's only one catch: to receive my inheritance, I have to get married within six months. Me, the guy who's never dated a girl for more than six minutes. Now I need to find a woman I can trust. So when I'm rear-ended by a Prius, I figure it's a sign that I'm supposed to meet gorgeous, down-to-earth Teagan Monroe.

Teagan: First I lose my job. Then I come home and find out - in the most graphic way possible... yeah, that way - that my boyfriend is a cheating jerk. And then I speed off and nearly kill Portland's sexiest bachelor. Corbin Lane should be pissed. Instead, he offers me more money than I've ever seen in my life to marry him and live together in a mansion for two years. No sex. No feelings. Just cash - enough to make all my dreams come true. Then we go and break all our rules... and I realize I'm falling in love with my fake fiance.

Contains mature themes.

Three Years

It was okay. Not great, not bad. I listened to the audiobook and the female narrator was wonderful. The male narrator was okay. The story was just okay. The characters are likable, but the growth of the relationship felt too quick. The miscommunication in this one was also a little too unbelievable. Nothing in the book could explain why the FMC and the MMC's long-time friend would think he would do what they thought he did at the end. They both should have known something was off.

Insta-love, but sweet. A little unbelievable.

Seemed a little too unbelievable in the development. Still enjoyable and I love Pippa's accent. She is a little breathy but it goes well with the southern twang. The male voice was not as appealing to me.
Typical marriage contract story, but I found it a little rushed on the heat. The first time in a dress is all it took to throw over the edge and makes the make lead act up. I enjoyed it, but rolled my eyes a few times. I did enjoy the scene with the ex. Jealousy is always fun. Also, a rich man with so much to lose giving a homeless person who he has no info about the proposition is very unlikely, especially without even knowing if she's single. I guess it is a fairy tale, though.

Where's the other 2 books in this series?

Cute book.. knocked up is next. but where's the other 2 books in those series and why don't the other ones show up with this like the other series do?

heartwarming

i absolutely adore this book. the characters were complex and tore at your heartstrings with their past and the charming way they found each other.

What a fun book

It was predictable to a point but it was a blast to read non the less. I really enjoyed this book. the characters were fun to get to know and the outcome was fun to get too. finished it in two sittings lol

terrific romantic romance

John and Pippa gave an outstanding performance making this book feel like you were there

Good

Story is a bit far fetched but entertaining. Narrators are just okay. Female southern accent is to forced.

Fun!

The reading of the will for Corbin's grandmother was not what he was expecting. Get married within 6 months, stay married for 2 years and he will receive the house and land that he has always loved. If he doesn't, it all goes to his father. That is the last thing Corbin wants because he knows his father will sell the property to be torn down and parceled out.

Teagan has had one of the worst days of her life. She gets laid off from her job, only to come home early and find her long time fiancee in bed with another woman. She packs her car up with everything she owns and takes off. Next thing she knows, she rear ends a Mercedes. Instead of the irate rich guy she expects, she meets Corbin who is more concerned about her than his car. Corbin realizes right away that Teagan may be in the right position to help him with his grandmothers will.

This was exactly what I needed after finishing a really heavy read. I'm a fan of the fake relationship trope and this was a pretty sweet, low to mid angst read. There is some conflict with these two starting out in a fake relationship but the author kept it to the minimum, which I really liked about the story. Both characters are very likable and I enjoyed watching these two dance around the instant attraction they have for each other.

Predictable but fun

Pippa’s narration fit the character by John Lane’s voice sounded too mature and did not match Corbin or what I imagined what he’d sound like. It’s a fun read

Cute story

This was a fun story to listen to. Had a hard time turning it off to get some work done!😂
