Critic reviews

"Fans of laugh-out-loud romantic suspense will enjoy this author as she joins the ranks of Janet Evanovich, Katie MacAllister, and Jennifer Crusie." ( Booklist)

Hilarious

This story really made me laugh and brightened my day. Poor Marie and her scatterbrained innocence. Just hearing Angie narrate this awesome story really made my day. I don't know of more to say than this is funny and all together too funny of a read to ever pass it up.

Laugh Out Loud Funny!

Marie's just been accused of cheating and thrown out of her doctorate program. What else can she do but turn to a life opposite of everything else she's known? She goes to her first bar and manages to down 1/2 of a tequila shot before getting dance on the bar and flirt with a stranger drunk. Luckily, the stranger turns out to be Jared, a hunky billionaire who needs to get married fast. What starts as a hookup turns to a marriage of convenience and then to something more.

Is it possible to smile for 2 hours straight? Marie's inner dialogue is hilarious! I'll never look at a Big Mac the same way again. Elise Sax has the ability to make me laugh on just about every page without the humor being forced. True talent.

The relationship between Jared and Marie went from cute and charming, to hot and steamy, to sweet and considerate. I loved how Jared just rolled with Marie's quirkiness and never made her feel silly. I wished we could spend more time with his awesome grandparents and her father, but the little scenes they did have were like chocolate chips in cookie dough, they just made everything sweeter.

Angie Hickman was absolutely perfect as Marie, her voice just fit Marie's personality so well. She didn't attempt a male voice for Jared, just used a normal speaking voice, so nothing sounded forced. Her timing on the humor was impeccable. I was provided a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. This is my third Elise Sax book and I'm still in love with her writing, I can't wait for Layla's story!

Color Me Surprised

I got this ARC via audiobook boom. This is my voluntary review. When I first heard the narrator I was so prepared to not listen to this story. I am glad that I did and listened to the entire story. This was a cute, funny, unbelievable love story. Marie and her father, as well as Jarrod's grandparents, really made the story. I loved how Jarrod was man enough to allow Marie to be herself, while he helps her and his company to be all that they can be. Glad I got past the narrator's voice and listened to the whole story.

5 *****

Absolutely loved it, if you're after a short funny read you can't go wrong.
This narrator ( Angie Hickman) is one of my favourites, her timing for Rom-Coms is brilliant. Looking forward to the next book in the series

Cute Short Romantic Comedy

This was a short fun romantic comedy. It was a relaxing funny story that kept me laughing and wanting more. The author is very talented and I enjoyed everything about it.

Narration was well done and brought the story to life. I'm looking forward to listening to more romantic comedies by this talented narrator.

This short story is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone. I'm looking forward to reading/listening to more books in this fun series.

Short sweet and hotly hilarious.

I loved this, Marie's innocently hilarious. I've never read/listened to Elise Sax before but if this is the quality of her work, I'll definitely be listening/reading to more.
At first I thought the narrator sounded like a teenager but she did fit Marie, she transitioned into the other characters wonderfully as well. She really brought the story alive.

Short and Entertaining

A short, quirky, story that I believe is part of a longer story. I was entertained.

Quick, funny listen

Elisa Sax does it again in her 3rd book in the 5 wishes series. Marie is a PhD student who is at an all time low after getting kicked out of school. She decides she is going to do everything the opposite of her life and gets "drunk" at the bar after 1 drink and meets Jarrod.
Jarrod himself is at a crossroads in his life and needs to get married to maintain his wealth and business. This is where the story and humor begins. Yes the book is far fetched but it's a cute, fun read that I highly recommend.

Elisa does a great job with this story and has a great sense of humor. Angie Hickman is a great narrator. She portrays emotions and I would listen to her books anytime.

Far fetched, but cute and very funny

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

While the premise is far fetched, it is a short, sweet and funny story. Marie is a scientist who is in a bit of trouble and rather unfamiliar with some aspects of life. Jared is a sweet billionaire in search of a wife so he can secure his inheritance. I did laugh at loud at several points and generally has a smile on my face through most of the book.

I was a bit thrown off initially by the narrator, but she grew on me.

Guaranteed to make you laugh

What did you like best about this story?

The humor is done very well. Its funny but no so outrageous its unbelievable.Not to mention the story was good too.

What about Angie Hickman’s performance did you like?

She did a very good job with Marie's characters. She had the right amount of smart and clueless.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Made me laugh all through. There are like 3 parts I bookmarked because they were so funny.

Any additional comments?

If you are looking for a good short funny listen, look for Elise Sax. Her words with Angie Hickman's delivery are perfection.
