About this listen
To protect my baby, I'll totally make out with the enemy....
Yeah, he's that guy - my first love, Nash Geary, the heartbreaker I've spent a decade trying to forget. But now I'm back in Bliss River, facing an ugly custody battle with Mr. Bad Idea number two, and I'll do anything to keep my baby girl safe.
Go into debt for a fancy lawyer? Check.
Hire a private detective to get dirt on my ex? Check.
Marry my nemesis to prove I can provide my baby with a loving, two-parent home? Um...check?
One too many beers at the county fair and suddenly Nash and I are on our way to the courthouse to tie the knot. He'll get even after a rough breakup, I'll prove my daughter is better off with me and my pillar-of-the-community police-chief husband, and we'll end it amicably when I'm granted full custody - everybody wins.
But what happens when the lines between fantasy and reality begin to blur, Nash sweeps both me and my baby girl off our feet, and what started as pretend becomes the most important thing in my world?
They say keep your friends close and your enemies closer....
So what am I supposed to do with the fake husband I'm pretty sure is the love of my life?
Contains the bonus short story Waking Up Married! Married to the Enemy was previously published as Keeping You. It has been extensively revised and expanded for this new edition.

I’m the station’s youngest fire chief, a grown man, and fully in my right mind - which means I’m not going to fall for the one who got away. That’s not the kind of person I am. Second chances are like skipping leg day - I don’t do that. Ever. But I wasn’t counting on Naomi buying me at the firefighter charity auction. Now I’m forced into a month of dates with the one woman who cuts through my defenses like no one else, and I’m starting to think maybe she’s right...maybe we are different people than the teenagers who failed at love.

Begging my brother’s best friend - a.k.a NHL superstar Ian Fox - to help me ditch my V-card wasn’t part of my “make it big in NYC” plans. But after years of being “cute little Evie”, I’m tired of waiting for Mr. Right. I’m ready for Mr. Right Now, and Ian is everything I’ve ever wanted in a first time. He’s kind, funny, confident, and has a legendary stick.... And yes, my brother will murder us if he finds out, but we’re both grown-ups. We can keep a secret. We have to, since I just landed an art-therapy job working with his troubled team.

She claims to hate me more than karaoke and liverwurst combined, and that's before she finds out I'm her new boss...Yes, Princess Alexandra and I have both been keeping big secrets. The spoiled royal bit is just our cover, a smokescreen we hide behind to keep our counterintelligence work from the people we love. Being spies, we can't let anyone too close. But close is exactly what we'll be pretending to be on our first mission posing as lovers. I honestly can't decide which will be harder - taking down a notorious drug lord or keeping my growing attraction to Alexandra under wraps.

The things I want to do to my sweet, kindergarten-teaching, mitten-crocheting best friend Libby Collins are 10 different kinds of wrong. Maybe 20. But I'm a firm believer in teaching by example, and by the end of our first sex lesson, we've graduated to a hands-on approach to her education: my hands all over her, her hands all over me, and her hot mouth melting beneath mine as I prove to her there isn't a damned thing wrong with the way she kisses.

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

Rule number one for a professional matchmaker? Don’t fall in love with your client. I screwed that up when I fell for my best friend, Reid Fortino. He’s gorgeous, successful, and sexy as hell. I figured it would be easy to find him a match - and save the family business at the same time. But the more time I spend attempting to find the perfect girl, the more I realize how much I want him for my own.

The Bliss River Series comes to life with Audio!!
I jumped all over this book after reading Dr. Dreamy and couldn't wait for Aria and Nash! Married to the Enemy was a fun and exciting read. I was addicted to it from the first page. I knew Aria would not make it easy on Nash. And even though he tried not to, he fell hard!
Married to the Enemy gives you the sweet and sassy. The sugar and sweet. The rockin' steamy scenes. And last, but not least, the best group of characters ever! Lili Valente gives us another addictive series. I know this story was previously written and so happy she brought them back out!
What I love about Audio Books is how the narrators bring the characters to life. Jason brings us an amazing Nash. Lili can bring her character to life on how she vision them. Jason and Lili were great! Their voices were the icing on the cake!!!

Second-chance awesome!!
Oooooh how I love this book!!! I think second-chance romance MIGHT be my favorite. But this one has some twists in the history that make it so much more interesting! Also, the black moment didn’t make me cry or panic, so that’s always a bonus for me. ;)
I loved being back in Bliss River and getting more time with the families and friends.
Ok. Nash is a heart-warming, panty-melting hero. He’s just the best. You will love him.
If you love second-chances, enemies to lovers, books with babies, small-towns, and meddling families, you will love this book!!!
Audio: The audio is PHENOMENAL. Again, you can’t go wrong with narration by Lili Valente and Jason Clarke. Jason Clarke with a slight southern accent. Sigh. It’s so good!

Ok story
Marred by female narration. Breathy, rushed speaking. So fake sounding. How did author and producer let this happen? Male was good though.

The writing is fantastic, the narration a pleasure
Married to the Enemy is the second book in the Bliss River series by Lili Valente. I love second chance romances and enemies to lovers and Lili gives us both! And oh my word, Nash is something else. He might be one of my favorite characters of Lili's with his sexy body to his sweetness to that accent. Dear Lord. You need to experience this book in audio if you want to hear Jason Clarke with a southern accent. I was swooning all over the place. Lili is the perfect Aria with her sultry and sweet voice. I love when authors narrate their own books, you can feel their emotions coming through so much more. Nash and Aria knew each other years ago. They were young and in love and they were torn apart. Then they became enemies and have been ever since. But now they both need something and the other is the perfect person to deliver. It's a fake marriage with real feelings. Nash not only wants Aria for real, but her beautiful daughter, Felicity, too. Again, Nash with the baby…swoon!! There's nothing better than a big strong man and a cute baby. I loved this story! Nash and Aria found their soul mate years ago and there's never really been anyone else. I loved how they were open and honest with each other and what they wanted. It was never really fake for either of them and it was beautiful to watch them fall in love again! The writing is fantastic, the narration a pleasure to my ears!

I love small town romance!
Gossssssh I need to take a trip to Bliss River!
Jason and Lili did an amazing job of bringing Nash and Aria to life!
Jason with a sexy southern accent just made Nash more lovable to me and Lili doing Aria's voice really just made the audio that much more enjoyable.
This is a great small town romance, second chance at romance story....this audio is all things an audio should be. Nash is the sweetest man alive and Aria is so smitten with him...the way he is with Felicity is sooooooo amazingly cute. I just loved everything about this audio!

Realistic love story
Really enjoyed how this story of Nash & Arie progressed from young adults to adults. This couple grew up apart and learned life lessons & applied to their relationship. Although their marriage was out of connivence & revenge. They are honest with feelings from the past to current feelings and future plans.
Overall & story would have gotten all 5 stars I really wanted epilogue.

Sweet, sexy and emotional! The romance trifecta!
I loved this book!! What a pleasure it was to listen too! Jason Clarke and Lili Valente are absolute magic to listen to as Nash and Aria. They make you feel everything their characters are feeling and going through and have such soothing voices. And Jason with a mild southern drawl is positively delicious and so sexy! I just love when they collaborate on audiobooks. I am also really loving this series so far, the characters are all so likable, relatable and lovable.
Nash and Aria have a brief interaction in the last book that has had me wondering what could have possibly happened between them to elicit that kind of reaction when they see each other again for the first time in years at her sister’s BBQ.
We don’t have to wait long to find out what that was in this book as we are witness to exactly what took place when they were teenagers. Fast forward a decade and they run into each other at a fair, and each have some less than desirable situations going on in their lives especially Aria. To help each other out, they decide on a fake marriage, which of course turns into a second chance for them and it is so wonderful. I love when they realize they should maybe give it a real shot, because Nash is pretty irresistible as a fake husband and step dad and I don’t know how Aria was resisting the urge to jump his bones.
I absolutely adore the way Nash loves Aria’s baby girl Felicity, it is just the sweetest and made me swoon as much as the way he treats Aria does, but that nickname he gives her is awful lol.
But things that are that good can’t possibly last when there are strong forces working against them, especially if they are close family members, can they? This definitely makes the story take a difficult and emotional turn for a little while. My heart hurt so much for them. Can their love see them through? Of course it can, this is a romance after all, so that’s not really a spoiler. There has to be a happily-ever-after!
Nice little bonus short story at the end too!!

Enjoyed
I loved continuing the series and learning more about Aria and Nash. They had an incredible journey of their friendship. I always look forward to listening to and reading anything by Lili Valente. She brings the story alive and feels like I am watching it all play out. Would give more details but I like to go into a book blind and seeing all the surprises. Jason and Lili are both extremely talented and always know going in that I will love whatever they narrate.
