Accidental Marriage Romance

By: Zoe Hanson

Narrated by: Sadie Provost

An accidental marriage in Las Vegas and night of unprotected passion becomes complicated when small-town art teacher, Ava Pham, gets pregnant with a famous L.A billionaire’s baby.

After Ava discovers her fiance has cheated on her with a hooker, she gets drunk and gets up in bed and married to the hottest guy she's ever met. She's ready to forget this ever happened, but he has other plans. What if he gives her $40,000 to pretend to be his wife?

Lukas Martin is under pressure to get married, or lose his inheritance to his family’s multi-billion dollar company. When he ends up accidentally married to down-on-her-luck Ava in Las Vegas, he realizes their marriage will solve all his problems . . . only he doesn’t expect to fall in love with her along the way.

As they play husband and wife at his family’s estate in Malibu, Ava must discover if love is enough to keep them together, or whether their different worlds will tear them apart.

Perfect for romance listeners who love Hallmark movies and sweet, swoony billionaire romances!

Accidental marriage and pregnancy

Ava and Lukas meet at a bar in Las Vegas after finds in fiancé cheating. The next morning Ava wakes up next to Lukas as his wife. Throw in the accidental pregnancy and now all the drama begins. This story will make you laugh and cry. It is funny, poignant, beautiful but heart wrenching at times. Sadie Provost did an excellent job narrating this book. I received this audiobook for free upon my request. I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased review.

Perfect balance of laughs, angst, relief and ahhhh! YES!

After catching her fiancee doing the horizontal mambo with a practitioner of the world’s oldest profession, Ava flees to the hotel bar for some liquid comfort … Lucas Martin buys Ava a drink … well several … and apparently a ring or two … a marriage license … and the services of a quickie “Just Say I Do”! It’s all a bit hazy when Ava awakes the next morning … nekked … in a strange bed! AND that’s it for the spoilers … because “What Happens in Vegas” … stays in Vegas … unless these two mis-matched, beautifully drawn and developed characters can find a way to overcome not only their differences, but the barriers being tossed their way from those following THEIR own agenda! Beautifully written, engaging and emotionally moving, “What Happens in Vegas” is a fantastic listen! The CHARACTERS drive this story and there are some I just can’t get out of my mind! Each and every character is not only brilliantly defined, they grow AND change as they are effected by the events in the story, just as real people grow and change when effected by the events of real life! I really felt like this gave a very clear insight into their personalities, their “essence as a person” - what makes them “tick”. This “humanizing” significantly deepened the “feel” as the story progressed. I felt like I saw so many “sides” of their personalities! There were the uplifting “awe” worthy moments when Ava and Lucas “clicked” in almost a carefree manner, the “teary” times my heart broke for both Ava and Lucas as backstories were revealed and present trials faced, and I’ll confess, there were times I wanted to take Lucas to the proverbial woodshed, and Lucas wasn’t alone! I had equally strong reactions to some of the other characters. There were some I wanted to bury in the sand, and I’m talking very … very … never see the light of day DEEP! A few really … made … my … blood … boil! I won’t say who, or when, but know it was more than one, and over the course of the story some were able to redeem themselves through growth brought on by circumstance. I’m not going to get into details. As you listen, you’ll see! You’ll also see that everything that happens in this story happens for a reason … just breathe, listen with an open mind and trust our author, she KNOWS what she’s doing! Someone who also knows what she’s doing is our narrator! What a stunning presentation! Every voice, every emotion, clear, concise, confident, perfectly timed, and perfectly paced - close your eyes and watch as the author’s vision comes brilliantly, beautifully, and vividly ALIVE! Five Stunning Stars. I loved it, I loved it all!

Emotional

I enjoyed this audiobook. I found myself tearing at times. The complex relationship between Ava and Lukas had them denying their feelings. Narrator Sadie Provost did a great job.
