About this listen
"A romantic comedy that's fun and flirty, young and fresh." (Popsugar) (22 of the Best Books This Winter Has to Offer)
One of Oprah Magazine's 22 Romance Novels That Are Set to Be the Best of 2020
Mia Sosa delivers a sassy, steamy #ownvoices enemies-to-lovers novel, perfect for fans of Jasmine Guillory, Helen Hoang, and Sally Thorne!
A wedding planner left at the altar? Yeah, the irony isn't lost on Carolina Santos, either. But despite that embarrassing blip from her past, Lina's offered an opportunity that could change her life. There's just one hitch...she has to collaborate with the best (make that worst) man from her own failed nuptials.
Marketing expert Max Hartley is determined to make his mark with a coveted hotel client looking to expand its brand. Then he learns he'll be working with his brother's whip-smart, stunning - absolutely off-limits - ex-fiancée. And she loathes him. If they can nail their presentation without killing each other, they'll both come out ahead. Except Max has been public enemy number one ever since he encouraged his brother to jilt the bride, and Lina's ready to dish out a little payback of her own.
Soon Lina and Max discover animosity may not be the only emotion creating sparks between them. Still, this star-crossed couple can never be more than temporary playmates because Lina isn't interested in falling in love and Max refuses to play runner-up to his brother ever again....

Mark Chan this. Mark Chan that. Writer and barista Emily Hung is tired of hearing about the great Mark Chan, the son of her parents’ friends. You’d think he single-handedly stopped climate change and ended child poverty from the way her mother raves about him. But in reality, he’s just a boring, sweater-vest-wearing engineer, and when they’re forced together at Emily’s sister’s wedding, it’s obvious he thinks he’s too good for her. But now that Emily is her family’s last single daughter, her mother is fixated on getting her married and she has her sights on Mark.

There’s nothing wrong with being a wallflower. Not to Emmaline Bluewater, anyway. Emma may have been born into witch society, but her days of trying to fit in where she doesn’t belong are over—they ended seven years ago, when the man she’d hoped to marry left town without a word. She’s much happier now, living a delightfully mundane human life in Chicago and running her bar, Toil and Trouble. Until Bastian Truenote walks through the door and announces that he wants her back.

The proposition is simple: if ER nurse Claire Harper and her roommate, firefighter Graham Scott, are still single by the time they’re forty, they’ll take the proverbial plunge together…as friends with benefits. Maybe it’s the wine, but in the moment, Claire figures the pact is a safe-enough deal, considering she hasn’t had much luck in love and he’s in no rush to settle down. Like, at all. Besides, there’s no way she could ever really fall for Graham and his thrill-seeking ways. Not after what happened to her father.

Into the story - hate the narration
I was super into the story but my goodness the narrators are bad! Neither can really pronounce Portuguese words, but he’s so so bad at it. And what is with his version of a female voice? It’s ridiculous. Immediately takes you out of the story. Huge disappointment.

Amazing!!
This book was actually really great to listen to. The book was filled with so many heart warming aspects, some great family dynamics, and plenty of comedic elements. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the voice actors, I was genuinely happy it wasn’t monotone or just one person reading.
Definitely recommend either listening or reading it 🙂

Nice bit of frippery
Quite a nice story, but a little cringey in parts. The male narrator had very disconcerting "woman" voice, which pulled me out of the story whenever he used it. would have been better if the narration had been more consistent between the two actors.

Fun!
This was a cute, fun romance. Loved the culture behind Lina and her family. The messages throughout the novel and character growth were great, too! The female narrator was great but I didn’t love the male unless he was voicing the main character; his voice for literally every other character (especially the female) was nasally, cringeworthy and annoying.

Funny Rom-Com
What do you do when you are interviewing for your dream job only to be paired with your former Fiancé's brother, whom you blame for your cancelled wedding? 3 years ago, Lina's broke her wedding by sending his brother a text on their wedding day.
The narrators were good - conveying the characters and their emotions. Max tugged at my heart, caught between a rock and hard place, feeling like he was second-best. I laughed and cheered at different part of the story. At times I had a difficultly with Lina's antics. The story premise is a good one and generally played out well. Watching these characters grow through the events in the story was enjoyable and made the story for me.

Worth the credit
I’ve listened to this book a few times. I enjoy it. It has some fun moments, some tense moments, and some really moments. The set up of the first chapter is enticing. I like the banter and chemistry between Lina and Max. It’s nice having some insight into Lina’s family and culture. It also acknowledges some challenges women face in the workplace, which is a topic that should be brought into light more.

It's just not very good
The plot is a bit too weird and unbelievable, and does nothing of interest / out if tge ordinary. It's very cookie-cutter for a rom-com
I didn't feel any real chemistry between the main characters; given the situations they started in, it's not plausible to turn out how it did
The performers were not very good, I did not enjoy listening to them, so they unfortunately could not save the story itself

Awful Narrators
I was really looking forward to this book and then I heard the male narrators voice doing the female parts...had to stop immediately. It was uncomfortable to listen to at best.
