About this listen

To save her family home, impulsive bookstore owner Alexa Maria McKenzie casts a love spell. But she never planned on conjuring up her best friend's older brother - the powerful man who once shattered her heart.

Billionaire Nicholas Ryan doesn't believe in marriage, but in order to inherit his father's corporation, he needs a wife and needs one fast. When he discovers his sister's childhood friend is in dire financial straits, he offers Alexa a bold proposition: a marriage in name only with certain rules. Avoid entanglement. Keep things all business. Do not fall in love. The arrangement is only for a year, so the rules shouldn't be that hard to follow, right? Except fate has a way of upsetting the best-laid plans.

I enjoyed this book, was laugh out loud funny during parts and I loved the dynamic of the couple. Didn't really like the narrator but got through it to the end. Wish the next book free.

Narrator's voice was ok on its own, but her voices for the different characters was annoying especially the voice she used for Alexa. Otherwise I enjoyed the story.

I was hoping for a good duet series. It’s a weird tacky story that just doesn’t seem logical. There’s holes that are brushed over. I pushed through but just don’t care about the rest of the story.
