About this listen

Duet narration by Joe Arden and Stephanie Nemeth-Parker

Now a number one Amazon Kindle store best seller

When Luca Windsor's secretary suddenly quits her job shortly after his family forces him into an unwanted engagement, he sets out to solve both problems.

By secretly marrying his secretary, Valentina, instead.

The rules are simple:

  1. Don't fall in love
  2. Keep their marriage a secret at work
  3. Share a bed every night

It was meant to be a straightforward and mutually beneficial deal, but with each day that passes, it becomes clearer to Luca that the one thing Valentina wants is the only thing he can never do:

Letting her go.

Publisher's Note: Each book in the Windsors series features a different Windsor sibling, and as such, each book can be listened to as a standalone. The Temporary Wife contains a guaranteed happily-ever-after and no cheating.

I adore that this series is entirely in duet narration as much as Luca adores Valentina! The Temporary Wife includes an obsessed billionaire, a workplace romance, a secret marriage of convenience, and lots of sp!ce!

The series is addictive!

The Grandmother is more annoying than words can comprehend but the worst part is that no one says a god damn thing about it. Its taking me a LONG time to get through the series because its okay for her to be annoying, it's not okay for the characters to just be like "yeah okay cool" and then nothing. It makes the book from a 5 star to a 3 because it's frustrating and not fun to read at all. Might continue the series... Might not. We'll see.

Hmmnn

I have loved all of these couples and their stories. The arranged marriage trope over several books, but in completely different ways gives each book its unique charm. All the books are filled with great humour and banter along with a growing family, bringing its own connections throughout the group.

This story follows the entrapment trope to some semblance and I was absolutely there for it. The marriage of convenience, but with a semi-unwilling participant, oh it was great. I absolutely loved Luca and Valentina falling for each other, this was great! 4.5 easily!
