The Paradise Problem

De: Christina Lauren

Narrado por: Patti Murin, Jon Root

Christina Lauren, the instant New York Times bestselling and “reigning romance queens” (PopSugar), returns with a delicious new romance between the buttoned-up heir of a grocery chain and his free-spirited artist ex as they fake their relationship in order to receive a massive inheritance.

Anna Green thought she was marrying Liam “West” Weston for access to subsidized family housing while at UCLA. She also thought she’d signed divorce papers when the graduation caps were tossed, and they both went on their merry ways.

Three years later, Anna is a starving artist living paycheck to paycheck while West is a Stanford professor. He may be one of four heirs to the Weston Foods conglomerate, but he has little interest in working for the heartless corporation his family built from the ground up. He is interested, however, in his one-hundred-million-dollar inheritance. There’s just one catch.

Due to an antiquated clause in his grandfather’s will, Liam won’t see a penny until he’s been happily married for five years. Just when Liam thinks he’s in the home stretch, pressure mounts from his family to see this mysterious spouse, and he has no choice but to turn to the one person he’s afraid to introduce to his one-percenter parents—his unpolished, not-so-ex-wife.

But in the presence of his family, Liam’s fears quickly shift from whether the feisty, foul-mouthed, paint-splattered Anna can play the part to whether the toxic world of wealth will corrupt someone as pure of heart as his surprisingly grounded and loyal wife. Liam will have to ask himself if the price tag on his flimsy cover story is worth losing true love that sprouted from a lie.

Laugh Out Loud Sorting Funny

Ugghhh~ this was SO much fun! It was wonderfully refreshing to ride this hilariously wild ride of a story with such interesting and emotionally intelligent characters. I literally guffawed and snorted embarrassingly loud at multiple things Anna Green thought and said! She's an absolute delight and one of my favorite characters I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Come for the witty banter, stay for all the fascinating side characters.

Always great!

Christina Lauren and their narrators always make me so happy and take me to a different life. This book did not disappoint and I can’t wait for the next one!

5++ Stars!

I loved this story so much! This is one I wish I would have read before listening too for sure. I love a happy ever after, and who are we kidding we knew there would be one. But the bumps they went through to get there and the way it was writing was A+. I loved all the characters but I think my favorite outside of A is got to be her SIL!! I love a feisty little gal.

Can’t get enough

Liam and Anna were so amazing!! The voice actors were wonderful to listen to! Christina Lauren knocks it out of the park again! And I loved their little art class cameo in the epilogue! A must read from Christina Lauren

So easy and sweet. Loved the characters, the story, and the setting. Extra points for the mature adult working through of problems, and emotional intelligence we need more of in this world. Would highly recommend!

I really enjoyed this book that follows two clashing personalities from two different worlds. The challenges were real and not overdrawn.
