Publisher's Summary

From USA Today best-selling author of The Highland Fling comes a brand new romantic comedy about a desperate billionaire seeking to find a fiancée. This modern day take on Pretty Woman is brilliantly clever and hilariously pause-resisting.

How did you two meet?

The quintessential question asked to every couple. And the answer is usually some bubbly, lovey dovey tale of being struck in the bum by Cupid’s arrow.

My meet cute (well, not so meet cute) is slightly different. I was trolling a wealthy neighborhood in Beverly Hills, searching for someone to take me as their bride, you know, to make my arch nemesis jealous who consequently just fired me.

He was stomping around the block like some sort of gorgeous ogre, mumbling about a business deal gone wrong and attempting to finagle his way out of it.

And that's when we bumped into each other.

There were no sparks.

Not even a hint of blossoming love.

But next thing I knew, I was scarfing down free chips and guac, listening to this man lay out all of his problems which led to his big ask...he wanted me to be his Vivian Ward, you know, from Pretty Woman - minus the frisky behavior.

We're talking about living in a mansion, intimate double dates, and pretending we were head over heels in love...and engaged. Can you imagine?

The absolute audacity.

But people do crazy things when they’re desperate. And I reeked of desperation. So, I struck up a deal.

My one big mistake, though...big...HUGE? I accidentally fell for the incomparable Huxley Cane.

Listened to this story multiple times now. Adore the MC, this story had me laughing and had amazing feels. I too am a Challenge and CT fan! Ava and Aaron narrated the story well and brought the characters to life.

got it for the narrators

this book duped me... I got it for the narrators but this was a super chore to get through. this is an author I gave a miss to due to a previous terrible book buy years ago (also cuz of the narrator), but thought that since the narrators are some of my faves, and since it was on sale, I would give this author another chance especiallysince authors do mature or improve overtime.. nope, not worth it.

plot: dragged on and on, the book references Pretty Woman a lot, but was a rewrite of the movie with a few tweaks for the sake of avoiding copy right infringement. I am all for fanfic, rewrites, etc, but not when there's nothing to give the story depth. there were shallow attempts to get readers to sympathize with the fmc and mmc, but even with charismatic narrators, the author falls flat on delivering characters that you want to relate to. I committed a horrible taboo in skipping chapters, but even with skips, I missed nothing because of all the repetitive monologing (the skips happened towards the end and were necessary for my sanity because I hate to dnf a book or audio).

would I recommend this book? no. the fmc seemed to teeter between two or three personalities types and sometimes felt like completely different people. I did wonder if the author couldn't make up her mind in regards to the fmc's personality. on a positive note, the mmc was sort of consistent to a subpar billionaire ceo trope type. I was very bored with them as the focus, and half entertained the "will they, won't they" scenario the author was setting up for a future book between the mmcs' brother and fmcs' sister.

So many unbelievable bits

This book engaged me and held my interest but there were far too many unbelievable parts to make it a great book.

Her best friend fires her (why is she friends with that twat anyway??), so, even though she has a business degree, she decides to walk the streets of the rich part of town looking for a rich husband.... seriously. (She mentions Vivienne from Pretty Woman...).
He needs a pregnant fiancee ASAP to secure a business deal (does he not have female friends or an employee or a friends sister who could help him out?? Apparently not). So they meet and strike a deal. He pays of her hefty student loans, buys her a whole new wardrobe, houses her, pays for everything and even helps her sister gain a massive contract. Surely it would have been cheaper to find his own Vivienne and just pay an escort for her temporary time. 🤷

Anyway, the ruse drags on and includes ridiculous scenes at a Lamaze class where there's dry humping involved, another ridiculous breast pump shopping scene (a wall full of milk filled boobs anyone?) and plenty of OTT miscommunication. These were trying too hard for laughs and it's where I got the most eye roll action.

I'm sure I'd like other books by this author as I liked her writing style but this was just too try hard for me.

The only book to make me laugh out loud

The banter in this book, and the narration was top notch. Genuinely had me belly laughing at some of the back and forth between the two characters. I'd have given it full marks if the ending had been a little less rushed, but a good listen. And let's not forget the spice. Yeah, it's spicy. Good build up (no pun intended).

Perfect narrators who bring the characters to life

I enjoyed this billionaire romance but it didn't endear me as much as the Agitator series. I didn't laugh out loud as much and some moments I didn't quite believe! Hats off to both narrators who really made the characters jump to life. They are probably a good 50% of why I inhaled this so quickly.

definitely worth a listen

This is the first Meghan Quinn book I have listened to and I will definitely keep an eye out for more. I did find that the angst level was a notch above what I can normally tolerate, but the parts of the book that made me cry laughing made up for it. The lamaze class scenes and conversations afterwards were hysterical. The narrators were also new voices for me, but they both did a great job with the story.
