The heroine: Parker – she was a recovering dork looking for a fake fiancé. She had eloped with a guy from her high school when she was seventeen and divorced him quickly after things went downhill fast. He wasn’t great with women to say the least. She wants to go to her high school reunion and be fabulous, but that wasn’t reality. She had to go to her reunion because her boss wanted her to finesse her ex-husband who is now famous for his successful brewery. She just got a new job as vice president of marketing at the nation’s largest organic grocery.
The Hero: Knox – he is a former stripper and now he is a Librarian, one whom many women love to get book recommendations from. Romance book recommendations, and extra benefits at times. He also has a popular blog called Mr. Romance. He has a bad reputation with his boss, who has had about enough of Knox and his antics, especially after Knox hooked up with his daughter. Joining the bachelor auction for the literacy foundation as Tarzan and getting a huge bid that seemed less like bachelor auction money and more like gigolo money, didn’t help his bosses’ opinion despite the money he raised.
The Story: Parker was outbid on Tarzan at the bachelor auction, so she lingered after it was over in order to try to hire him to be her fake fiancé at her reunion. Parker embarrasses herself by being a big loser in front of Knox and the woman who won the auction, but she is able to tell Knox what she needs him for and offers a big donation to the charity in exchange. She slips him her phone number and tells him to give it some thought.
This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Joe Arden and Karen White. Joe Arden is one of my favorites. His voice isn’t quite as deep as I usually like, but he is very comfortable and such a great narrator. He always does an awesome job. Karen White isn’t a narrator I like very much. She sounds quite a bit older than the characters and she sounded way too anxious. Even though it fit the character, it got on my nerves.
I liked the story and I have really liked Pippa Grant’s books in the past even other books in this series. Though I really didn’t like the female narrator, it bothered me enough to really affect my overall enjoyment of this one. Though I did love the Knox character, he lives with his grandma, who he really loves.
