About this listen

Amazon #5 bestseller

He’s my brother’s best friend
My fake husband...
And doesn’t believe in love

Nathan Davenport, CEO of the Davenport empire is my complete opposite.
He hates chocolate. I’m a size sixteen dessert chef.
He only wears black. I love glitter and pink.
He’s grumpy, while I look on the brighter side of life.
Too bad his piercing eyes, and high cheekbones haunt my dreams.

When he offers to loan me the money to save my bakery.
I have no choice but to agree.
Except he has conditions:

I must pretend to be his wife for a year
I must fake my feelings for him so his family believes our relationship.
I must stay by his side for the duration of our arrangement so he can claim his inheritance.

I don’t even like the man, surely I can get through this charade without developing feelings for him?
Except living in close proximity with him, our chemistry escalates
I know I am falling for the wrong man.
For when I tell him: “I love you,” he growls: “Love was never part of the equation...”

This is an opposites attract, forced proximity, one-bed, marriage of convenience, and a brother's best friend, billionaire romance with a plus size FMC. It is a complete standalone.

This is the 2nd L Steele book I’ve read. And I’m not sure I can handle anymore dead soldiers. It’s too sad. Loved Shane East’s
Performance. Stellar as always

As usual Shane East’s performance

the voice actors were fantastic. The story was very cringe, I think I lost a few brain cells with this story. I thought the kindle version would be easier but nope, I have certainly listened to better.

I adore L. Steel and this series, and Nathan and Skylar’s story doesn’t disappoint. Shane East and Roxy Isles are deliciously cast, and i devoured this story like a starving person and left no crumbs!

It’s a brother’s best friend, marriage of convenience romance that, in true L Steele form, is full of emotion and spice, but above all, it’s a swoony romance at its core. Plot and spice in equal parts! with a twist that will have you twisting!

I’ve said this before and I will d.. on this hill: No one says “Mine” quite like Shane. But of course, you don’t have to take my word for it—take a listen! Shane and Roxy are amazing as they bring the emotion, vulnerability, and humour to these characters. Their comedic timing is delivered with absolute precision, making the banter hilarious. They have such a great rhythm in this performance, and the duet narration feels like a movie in your ears. Together, they will set your earbuds on fire!
Get this one in your ears, besties. They will thank me later!

All the feels & a twist you never see coming
