About this listen

I guess you could say I was a damsel in distress, and he was my knight in shining armor. But more accurately, I was a girl with a lot of bad luck, and he was a guy with a lot of muscles and tattoos.

Jude "Lucky" Lucketti wasn't just a sexy, brooding construction worker. He was my own personal hero, showing up in all the right places at the right times. Like when my car broke down and I needed a ride home, and when I face-planted on the sidewalk right in front of him and had to be taken to the emergency room.

We became friends, and it didn't matter that he was 16 years older than me. We had a lot in common - like our love of old rock music and vintage fast cars and our aversion to relationships.

When he approached me with a crazy idea to help me out with my many problems, I couldn't say no.

The arrangement was supposed to be temporary. A marriage on paper and nothing else. It should've been easy, but it wasn't. Because here I am, 18 years old, still in high school, and married to a man I was never supposed to fall in love with.

We had just one rule - no kissing the bride. But we broke that rule, and it sealed our fate forever.

Contains mature themes.

I liked the premise of the story, but it was just too long. There were parts that were probably not necessary, and the miscommunication trope is one of my least favourites - so frustrating! The age gap didn’t matter so much, I believed that they were a good match. Narration was excellent.

Almost there…

Jude and Skylar's story is so touching. This one will get you thinking about all that's wrong yet right. He is way older for her and therefore battles with society judgement but he is the best thing that happens to her. Jude is a better family to skylar more than her real family. this unconditional love is what everyone needs

please kiss the bride

Angsty fake marriage story with great character development. Lucky is delicious, a bit messed up but highly enjoyable to listen to Aiden Snow's sultry voice bring him to life.

Seriously cannot put into words how awesome this book was…the up and down emotional ride was amazing and I felt everything as the characters did…so well written and an amazing storyline, I didn’t feel like the story was rushed at all and it had a natural progression that made 110% sense.

Ahmazing

Not a fan of such an age gap - but loved Jude (Aiden Snow) His gorgeous voice made it worth it!! Heart felt and pulled you in. I too think it was a bit too long. I sped up the speed through parts - but all in all an enjoyable read.

Really enjoyed

I loved Jude & Skyler’s story ❤️❤️. Age gap is one of my favourite troupes and this one was a beauty.

Carian Cole did it again, I’m always guaranteed a fantastic listen with one of her books.

As a bonus I loved seeing the other side of Asher & Judes conversation, it’s made me want to go back and revisit the entire series.

Ahhhhh❤️
