The Player + the Pact = I Do

By: Louise Bay

Narrated by: Shane East, Erin Mallon

I hate my boss. Like, loathe him. Two years ago, he semi-broke my heart and he still doesn’t remember who I am. Okay so I was covered in electric blue body paint, and wearing a wig, but is that a good excuse to not remember the girl you said was your destiny?

Now I’m stuck working for the jerk because only he can give me the job I really want—manager of his hotel.

When he needs a fake fiancé for business reasons, there’s an easy solution—blackmail. He has to give me a trial run as hotel manager in return for wearing his ring.

It’s a perfect plan until he remembers when we first met.

Things suddenly shift and now he’s looking at me with eyes that see straight through to the real me, touching me with hands that make me weak and kissing me with a mouth that threatens to do things to me they don’t even talk about in movies.

There’s just one wrinkle. I don’t trust him not to break my heart again.

A standalone marriage pact romance from USA Today bestselling author Louise Bay.

Fake Engagement Agreement, Slow Burn, Great HEA

While on the surface this seems like a typical fake engagement read, it is so much more. Leo and Jules both carry some heavy baggage. Leo, despite his success, continues to feel like he is not enough and Jules is dealing with some extreme abandonment issues stemming from her relationship with her dad. This story was a slow burn but it was so satisfying to see Leo and Jules stumble into a relationship. I loved how they slowly let their walls down. This was my first book by Louise Bay but ti won’t by my last. I really enjoyed this story and Leo and Jules are everything! The narrators were fantastic. They meshed well together and made the story more interesting. Loved this audio and this story. Can't wait for the next story

Really good book

Another really good book from Louise. I’m such fan. The narration is amazing. I’m looking forward to the next book

Another great story with exceptional narration.

Another Louise Bay story that doesn’t disappoint. I could listen to these narrators every day, they are amazing. I never put the book, it was so good.

Great Characters

Author Louise Bay creates some of the most endearing characters in all of her romances. Each one has something in his or her past which affects them in their adult lives, that affects their actions, their choices and their feelings, whether they are aware of it or not. The main reason that I am so drawn to these people is the amount of goodness that can be sseen in every one of them. Then you care about what happens to them.
I love Jules and Leo and can't wait to go to Las Vegas with them in the next book!
Fabulous narration by Shane East (sigh), and Erin Mallon.

Sweet and Heartwarming!

I read it, and loved it. The audiobook version is great. Leo and Jules's story is sweet, and heartwarming story. They are both interesting characters. This is a beautifully written billionaire boss romance. I liked the fake engagement, the slow burn romance, the banter, the humor, the friendship, and the sizzling chemistry. The supporting characters are great. Shane East and Erin Mallon did an excellent job bringing this story to life. This is a great team author/narrators. I enjoyed it. Louise Bay never disappoints.
