Summary

Two lonely hearts.

Just once, Alex Emmerling would like to be someone's first choice.

She's strong-willed and spunky, but she's left picking up the pieces from her ex's lies and manipulations, and daydreaming about taking a scalpel to his scrotum.

Flying under the radar is what Riley Walsh does best.

He's laid-back and loyal, but he wants the most off-limits woman in his world, and nothing will ever make that a reality.

An arrangement of mutual benefit.

Two months, four dates.

Five, if things go well.

Five at the most.

But possibly six.

Definitely no more than six dates.

Only the appearance of a romantic relationship is required, and they expect nothing more from their time together. There will be none of those benefits involved.

One wild weekend.

After waking up in bed together - very naked and even more hungover - the terms and conditions of their arrangement no longer apply. Now they're faced with something riskier than exposing their fake relationship: Letting go of the past and zipping up the future.

Some things have to fall apart before they can be put back together.

Loved it, but felt like there were two Rileys

I really lost myself in this; witty banter, romantic and funny it was also filthy at times.
The only thing that took some getting used to in this audiobook was that the narrative styles of the two narrators was very different. The female narrator’s Riley had a deep, throaty slow voice while the Male narrator’s Riley had a faster, snarkier sounding voice. They were so different that it felt a bit like two Rileys for a while, but I eventually got used to it.

🎧 Riley and Alexandra 🎧

Kate Canterbary delivers the best opening chapters, ever. RISD and Honeybee are fantastic characters and their story is full of feels and fun.
Lucy Rivers and Christian Fox are utter perfection, as always.

loved it so much !

Riley,Riley,Riley...you shocked the hell out of me !!
You have to all know by now that Riley has been my favourite since the beginning of this series...he appears to be so funny and sweet and just adorable...I loved his witty quips and all his clumsiness.
And Yes he is still all of those things but we discover what a dirty,dirty,dirty boy he is too..an alpha in the bedroom he takes complete charge and likes to document his sexcapades with photos..Oh My !
I always thought he would end up with Magnolia but no Kate Canterbary introduces us to a whole new character for him to fall for..
Welcome Alexandra or Alex she works at the hospital with Nick and when she meets Riley she doesn't really like him much at first.
Riley is still hung up on loving a married woman who he cannot have and who doesn't feel the same way about him.Alex is a really strong woman but she has feelings of inadequacy because of her family who completely ignore her achievements favouring her twin brother all the time.
She secretly longs to be loved and for someone to recognise her and for her to be their number one priority not second best.
So when Alex comes into Riley's life and they agree to a fake dating relationship to help eachother out of sticky situtaions...He is literally bowled over by Alex and how much they fit together,how much they are alike and have in common and that when he is with Alex he does not think about the married woman he was pining for.
Spending time together they both fall hard and then one weekend away changes everything about their fake relationship making it real.
They are combustible in the bedroom...sooooo HOT !! and very playful.
But nothing is easy and they both have some hang ups to get over before they can actually give their new romance a shot.
The Audiobook is truly AMAZING I LOVE Christian Fox and Lucy Rivers they made this story so much better with their brilliant narration...I will always highly recommend books with Christian Fox and Lucy Rivers telling the story,because they never disappoint and make the stories they tell so much richer.
THANKYOU Kate Canterbary for making Riley's book exceed all my expectations...I have never been so envious of a character so much..Yes I wanted to be Alex..lol..
My heart was so happy that he got his HEA just like his siblings and I never want this series to end.
An Exceptional book that I relished and loved.
I highly recommend.
