so heartwarming
I felt like I was falling in love reading this book. So beautiful and warm, I’m not sure I would change a thing.

This was fine, kind of meh. The slapstick humor didn't work for me, the characters are forgettable, the story is predictable. The narrators are mostly fine, with one notable exception—James Joseph's voice for Christian's dialogue is atrocious. I think he was trying to make Christian's insecurity come through in his voice, but he just sounds whiny and unnatural, almost like a cartoon villain. On top of that, his American accent is not good. Teddy Hamilton's English accent for Émile isn't great, either, but it's not nearly as annoying. I've enjoyed both narrators in the past, which is why I wanted to listen to this in the first place, so it's a bummer that the character voices detracted so much from my enjoyment.
This is the second time I've tried Saxon James and I'm pretty sure her books are just not for me. Which is a shame because she has so many audiobooks on Hoopla! I may still try the Puckboys or Frat Wars series, since those are so popular, and I want to give James at least one more shot.

When Christian gets stood up he has to attend his cousins wedding alone that is until he meets Emile . Emile tells Christian he’ll be his date to the wedding not wanting the night to end they both spend it together where Christian tells Emile he’ll be his fake husband so he can get his inheritance. Absolutely loved listening the main characters were awesome and I can’t wait to meet all the guys again starting with Seven & Molly which I’m going to start now .
