The Billionaire's Fake Wife: Enemies to Lovers Standalone Romance

Big Bad Billionaires, Book 1

De: L. Steele

Narrado por: Shane East, Faye Adele

I never should have agreed to becoming his fake wife....

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!
So when he offers me the chance to work with him, I can hardly refuse, right?
Only catch? I need to be his pretend wife for - hold your breath - 30 days.
I should have turned and run right then, but....
He has the connections to help my sister's failing health, not to mention the money to wipe away my debt.
And yeah, that...sneaky video recording of him getting me off. OMG!
Besides, it's only 30 days, right?
It’s not like I’m in danger of falling in love with London's most notorious bachelor.
Then he tells me the real reason for the charade.
And everything changes....

Note: This is a stand-alone enemies to lovers, fake marriage, billionaire romance featuring a hot, possessive billionaire and the curvy spitfire who dares to go toe to toe with him!

Emotional and Sexual Enemies to Lovers

Thank you, Laxmi, for writing a book that I wanted to know the ending but I didn't want it to end! This book will have several twists that will add so much to the development of these characters. Sin is a ruthless businessman with seemingly little to no redeeming characteristics, but gradually I came to love him. Summer is a loving sister who will do whatever's necessary to save her sister. Summer is sassy and challenges Sin. I love this and Laxmi also lets us hear their inner thoughts which are emotional, funny, and enlightening. There are several passionate and explosive sex and love scenes. Be still my heart!

The narrators are excellent and enhanced this story even more. They are talented storytellers that make the listener experience the emotions of these characters. Faye Adele excellently portrays Summer's spunk, caring nature, fighting spirit, and passion. Shane gives Sin a deep swooning voice and a sexy accent.

I highly recommend this Audible book. I know that a few reviewers hated that Sin cheated on Summer but they were not in a relationship at the time. He did it to emphasize that the relationship they would have was a fake one for business of some sort. But even he regretted doing this to her when he realized how it affected her.

That's a spicy meatball

First off, Shane east can read the phone book and make people swoon, add to that the extra spiciness of L. Steele's words and let's just say muy Caliente.
Slight trigger warning, about consent and somewhat consensual nonconsent, but once you're aware of that this enemies to lovers is a fantastic listen.

Alpha-hole Lovers Dream

"The Billionaire's Fake Wife" by L Steele, narrated by Shane East and Faye Adele, presents an intense Alpha-hole trope with blackmail. Shane East's narration, accompanied by his British dry style, adds to the straightforwardness of the story. Initially, I found it challenging to immerse myself in the book. Still, the discovery of the bond of the Seven piqued my interest, leaving me curious to explore further into the series.

Shane East's portrayal of the male lead was exceptional, effectively capturing the character's complexities without any unnecessary emotions. His delivery of the lines remained straightforward and devoid of charm or humor, which suited the narrative's tone. Faye Adele's performance as the female lead complemented the story well, maintaining a dry and matter-of-fact tone throughout.

The revelation of the bond of the Seven brought an intriguing aspect to the story, hinting at deeper connections between the characters. Despite a slow start, the plot gained momentum as secrets were disclosed, offering a captivating world of romance, mystery, and passion with a dry and pragmatic approach. In conclusion, "The Billionaire's Fake Wife" sets a promising foundation for the series, where readers can expect more intrigue and complexity in the forthcoming books.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

There are seven men mentioned so fingers crossed they will get their own books and also be in audio!

Also, you will want to watch every movie mentioned. You’ve been warned. 🎥 🍿

Minor spoiler: very small OW drama. It happened so quickly even I was ok with it though I still didn’t like it lol

Book is in KU and WS

Great read!

Really enjoyed this one! Her writing is just super easy to follow and get into the story. If you love billionaire and fake marriage tropes then I highly suggest you give this own a go! The audio is done super well… of course I mean Shane East HELLO! They really make you feel connected to the characters.

Great voices...story effects performnace

I enjoy the fun of this book, there is some quirky mannerisms about the FMC that make the audiobook a little annoying at times. However I did enjoy it and will listen to it again.

Loved this even more in Audible!

I had already read this book but just had to listen to it (with the accents!) The chemistry between the two Summer & Sin is just amazing! You have to read this whole series with an open mind but they are all great!! The writing is excellent!

Hot

This alphahole enemies to lovers story was hot and intense. The narrators were absolutely perfect.

50 Shades Of Dark - DNF

At least in 50 Shades we knew Christian could use restraint when his preferred sexual kink wasn’t welcome and respected a safe word. Sinclair comes off as just a heartless, soulless bully who doesn’t listen to a safe word and continues beyond hearing the word STOP. So, okay, the first time she said stop, he asked her Why? Really?? Stop means stop, just like No means NO.

Summer is a spitfire with pink hair that seems to want to antagonize Sinclair at every turn.

They are both in this fake marriage for their own reasons, as is often the trope, but these two have a very dysfunctional start to the marriage that I, personally, would not have been able to overcome, even for 30 million dollars (small spoiler) much less evolve this relationship into a loving one.

If you enjoy that kink, and want to give it a try, then spend a credit. I enjoy the occasional erotic romance novel, with a mutual understanding, respect and desire, but Sinclair lost me when her reason for saying Stop wasn’t good enough for him.

Amazing book

I was going to but this book and read it. Then I was able to get a free code for audible and started to listen and let's say this book is freaking Hot!!!!
Like how the man who voices Sin is just what I would picture of the character. Will be picking up the rest of the book series 🧡🧡
