Pretend Girlfriend

De: Lily Craig

Narrado por: Emily Beresford, Gabra Zackman

Fake love, real sparks.

When Celeste Lamontagne receives a wedding invitation from her ex, she's furious. The only thing worse than being cheated on? Seeing your ex and the girl she cheated with get married. Less than a year later. And as part of a two-week long Mediterranean cruise. But they say the best revenge is a life well lived, right? Not for Celeste, it isn't. It's arranging an elaborate fake relationship with someone to make your ex jealous.

Lane Bishop is the perfect someone to do just that. Impulsive to the extreme, she loses her job right in front of Celeste. There goes Lane's best shot at becoming a stylist in New York City. She can have another chance if she agrees to travel with Celeste, pretending to be her girlfriend so that Celeste's ex sees her happy and thriving. The only catch? Celeste's an heiress accustomed to getting everything she wants. She's rigorous about details - some might say spoiled - which clashes with a free spirit like Lane.

The sparks between Celeste and Lane become harder and harder to ignore. Can they convince the wedding guests of their passion without the flames setting them both alight?

Contains mature themes.

Good, easy book!

I enjoyed this book. The sarcasm and witty banter was hilarious! The chemistry between the characters was realistic and nice to hear play out. Overall good book!

Cute and fun

The only reason I’m giving the story four stars because I think it could’ve been a little longer and it was a little short for my taste. And I believe it ended rather abruptly but the characters were very well developed and the chemistry between them was clear. Finished it in one day.

Great writing

I like an author who can use unique language, but the story was a little lacking and the romance scenes didn't have any OMG.

Loved this story!

I really liked the whole premise of this story. It was full of character and I loved the way the two women of opposite poles came together. The only drawback to the audiobook was the narration of one of the characters was not very good in my opinion, it detracted from the story.

Good Story

This was a good story. The plot and characters were well developed. The main characters had great chemistry and were cute together. The sinking of the ship was kind of an abrupt ending but doable. The two narrators were good. Enjoyed!

Great book

Loved the voyage, loved the characters loved the story. Narration was excellent. The combination of the two narrators was a great idea.

Great Romance!

This story made me laugh often. I loved the narration because they made the written words pop with the right emotions. I will likely listen to this one again.

Hit and miss

This kind of story can really go either way which made me hesitate to give it a try. In all honesty I was feeling a hit through most of it. The chemistry between the characters was there and left no doubts that they were meant to be. That's one of the hardest things to convey in any story.
It didn't start losing points with me till the main conflict; While it wasn't the one I had expected which could have been a pleasant shock, it wasn't. The conflict was kind of whishy washy. it didn't have the impact I felt had been building. in fact it felt too easy. the build up wasn't the kind you expect from an easy romance but the ending definitely was. the transition was jarring enough to make me pause and try to work out where all the tension had gone.

Story great, 2nd narrator was rough

The story is easy, fast, fun, sexy, silly- not a lot of angst, predictable ending. Don't need a lot of bones in the game to enjoy. Narrators? Zachman is stellar. Timbre, tenor, sultry, solid. The second narrator... sorta sounded like a news reporter giving you the headlines to get you to stay tuned to the channel. "And tonight, this vegetable can kill you. Is it in your pantry? News at 5." It was hard to listen to the love making bc it felt like I was broadcasting smut from my car speakers. Almost had to DNF.

Great Listen!

I'm a sucker for the romance stories where two people pretend to be dating for whatever reason. I know it's silly, but this book really did a great job based on a pretend relationship. "Pretend Girlfriend " had witty dialogue, humor, adventure, sex, TWO NARRATORS, and even a nod to Metallica :) I enjoyed the audiobook a lot!
