Pretend We Are Us

The Timberbridge Brothers, Book 1

De: Claudia Burgoa

Narrado por: Erin Mallon, Aaron Shedlock

From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes a small-town romance where a marriage of convenience to a former hockey player might be her only shot at keeping her family’s legacy—and maybe finding love along the way.

I never expected to inherit a sprawling estate in a small town I’d never even heard of.

To claim it, I have to outmaneuver my scheming cousin and fulfill one impossible condition:

Find a groom.

Enter Ledger Timberbridge—the infuriatingly charming stranger I crossed paths with on my solo (read: canceled) honeymoon.

Now, he’s here in Birchwood Springs, fighting to save his family’s struggling logging company.

And somehow, he’s probably my only shot at keeping my inheritance.

A marriage of convenience between us seems like the perfect solution.

But between small-town secrets, high-stakes family drama, and the undeniable spark between us, nothing about this arrangement feels simple.

As the lines between convenience and something real begin to blur, I have to decide:

Can I trust Ledger with my heart, or will this small town end up costing me everything?

Great Start to the Series

The introduction to the Timberbridge siblings is so good. I really enjoyed this story! I wanted to read the second book of the series, and I just had to read this one first. I always like to read them in the order.
Claudia writes a good marriage of convenience with great characters.

Galeana and Ledger meet when a mix-up at a resort happens. He is there for a friend and she is there after being left at the altar.
When fate brings them back together after years, the banter and chemistry between them is crazy hot.
This small town, grumpy sunshine, and found family will keep you entertained.

This book is one that will keep you turning the pages. I followed along while listening to the audio. And let me tell you, Erin Mallon and Aaron Shedlock are amazing! These two are both favorite narrators. Erin has a lovely voice that brings all the sass and banter to the character in the perfect way.
Aaron Shedlock has a voice I will always love listening to. He captured my attention immediately with his voice. The way he narrates and changes his voice for the higher emotional moments makes him so good at his job.

I am so excited to get more from this family!

Ledger & Gale, Timberbridge Brothers, book 1

Listened to book 2 (Hopper's story) and absolutely loved it! The suspense and mystery element (supposed to arc throughout the entire series) was great, so I bought book 1, to see what I missed. This book started out terrific. Loved the mix-up at the hotel that puts the MCs in the same suite. with no other rooms available. Loads of chemistry, heat, & tension during a game of truth or dare. But, I thought the last few chapters fell a little flat. The dual narration by Erin Mallon and Aaron Shedlock was well done!
