About this listen
I need a fake ex-husband. Let me explain....
I may have let it slip to my new coworkers that I have an ex-husband. Now they’re fascinated with the details, specifically with him.
Why wouldn’t they be? He’s gorgeous, has exceptional skills in the bedroom, and is determined to win me back.
But there’s a problem. He doesn’t exist.
The bigger problem? I have to produce him to save my job.
This is where you come in.
I’m seeking someone to play a smitten ex-husband for two weeks. You’ll need to remember our love story—details matter when it comes to romance! Please be prepared to travel in-state at a moment’s notice. We may be in close proximity, and sharing a bed might be required.
One more thing—kisses are essential for optics as necessary.
If this sounds interesting or, at the very least, entertaining, let me know.
Signed,
Your future ex-wife.
Buckle up for a steamy adventure between friends-turned-lovers in this new "fresh twist on a favorite trope" take on fake dating, close proximity, and romance in the workplace from USA Today best-selling author Adriana Locke.

If Renn Brewer would’ve asked me to marry him, I would’ve said no. Why? One, his reputation precedes him. His name is in the headlines at least once a month. Two, he’s not just my brother’s best friend. They’re teammates. And three, I’m in my self-care era. Unfortunately, a version of me equates self-care with bad choices.

I’ve always been the person that does whatever someone tells me I can’t. Can’t graduate with a four-point-oh? Check. Can’t win a modeling contract without trying? Did it. Check. Can’t make it in the pro football league? Triple check with an MVP Award on top. When my best friend told me to stay away from his little sister, Layla, it didn’t sound like a challenge. Then again, I’d never seen her before. He obviously wasn’t thinking about who he was talking to if he believed I could ignore her.

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.

Loved it even more than the book
My review cannot explain just how fabulous this story was. It had everything a listener could ever want: beautifully narrated characters, a storyline that hooks you in from the opening lines and does not let go, emotions that run from laughing out loud to sighing with happiness and family dynamics that makes you want to be part of their family. Truly Adriana Locke has out done herself. Jess and Pippa will become instant favorites and this will be an audiobook you will listen to again and again when all other audiobooks fail. Samantha Brentmoor and Ryan West were perfect in their roles as Pippa and Jess.

Loved it
This was a fabulous read from Adriana Locke. From the first chapter I was hooked on the story she wove about Pippa and Jess. I love friends to lovers’ stories and Fluke every box for me.
When I read the blurb for Fluke I knew I wanted to read it and I was not disappointed in any way. This was a well written, entertaining story that left me with a smile on my face. A little white lie cannot hurt, that is until is comes back to haunt you.
When Pippa makes up an ex husband she backs herself into a corner when to save her job she needs to “produce” him. This is when Jess enters the picture and I am so glad that he did.
I fell hard and fast for Jess, such a swoon worthy man who ticked all my boxes. I really felt for Pippa as she struggled with her family and my heart broke for her.
There were moments where I laughed and moments where I swooned. All Pippa has ever wanted is to be loved and Jess was just the man for her. Samantha Brentmoor and Ryan West's narration was a joy to listen to and brought the story to life for me.

Swoony and fun
This book hit me in all the right spots and left me smiling. I think this was a really unique way to spin a common trope and I liked the originality of it. I loved getting to know more of Jess and Pippa-and fell in love with their journey.
I wasn't expecting to swoon as hard as I did for Jess! I don't know why, I just wasn't. But holy cow am I glad I was proven wrong. Ryan West did an amazing job bringing him to life for me. He is a fabulous book boyfriend for sure!
I wanted to give Pippa a million hugs-then slap the members of her family. She is strong, smart and so sassy and fun. I think she and I would be fast friends. Samantha Brentmoor knocked this narration out of the park and made me feel like Pippa was right in the room with me.
This is a small town romance done very well. I would absolutely recommend this book-and I know it's one that will stick with me. I look forward to seeing what this Author brings us next.

Give me all of Jess
Man these two put off the heat right from the start. Nothing like two people fighting their feelings and pull to each other like the one Jess and Pippa gave us.
I adored Jess’s long time crush and even though Pippa constantly turned him down, he knew what he wanted. But as you learn of why Pippa is so hesitant to love or letting someone in you automatically start to root for Jess to break down her walls.
So naturally when Pippa needs a fake ex-husband who better the man?! Jess is patient and all the things she needs but never allowed herself.
This story is sweet, laugh out loud fun and just a warm hug. Having the banter and pranks between the brothers brings the Carmichael family series easily to the top of my list.

Swoon Worthy
I freaking loved this book! I got the audio for free, and now I have to go back and start with book 1. I loved the whole Carmichael family. Jess, was just an overall swoon worthy man, sweet, caring, respectful everything you'd want in a man. This book had me laughing out loud many times and Banks.... Banks is just too much. I loved him and can't wait to see if he gets his happy every after. I loved the family dynamic and how they all had fun teasing each other.
The narrators did an awesome job too and Samantha Brentmoor has become a favorite female narrator of mine, she does a man's voice so well. This was my first book with Ryan West and I really enjoyed him as well..

I’ll Take Jess/ Yes to the Carmichaels!
This book made me repeatedly laugh out loud - I loved it! The writing of the Carmichael family dynamics is pure genius; they are the funniest, grumpiest, most loving family ever. Surely Fox & Paige will have their own stories????
Jess was a golden man - who wouldn’t fall for such a solid, patient, handsome, sexy, hardworking man? Pippa was a sweet, accomplished but damaged, woman who needed a man like Jess.
This was my first listen for either of these narrators. Samantha Brentmoor handled her characters fairly well; her male voice for Jess was almost preferable to Ryan West’s voice. I found Ryan West’s voice to be a little too crisp & aristocratic sounding for a solid Florida man.
But the family love and the laughter & jokes?? Simply the best!

Absolutely loved it!
Fluke was a fun, flirty small town romcom and I loved every minute of it. Jess and Pippa were childhood friends and he has always been pining for her. When she gets herself in a bind by making up a story of and ex-husband Jess has no problem stepping in to help her. These two had a fire between them and I love the way that he is so honest about his feelings with her. She has issues to work through and I love that Jess helps her work through it. Adriana gave a sweet and steamy romance that will leave your heart happy in the end.
Samantha Brentmoor and Ryan West narrate this book and both of their performances were great. Samantha brought out Pippa’s sweet personality and was also able to portray her vulnerabilities she had growing up in her family. Ryan brought the swoon as Ryan and portrayed the way he cared for his family and Jess. Both narrates did a great job bringing these characters to life.

Swoony and sticky sweet Jess Carmichael 😍
Okay, Jess was so unbelievably sweet to Pippa. Pippa doesn’t come from a loving family and she struggles with intimacy. The way that Jess took his time with her and let her feel whatever she needed to feel.. SWOON. this man would’ve given her the moon if she asked for it. And as usual, Banks was up to his crazy scheming and shenanigans 😂 I’m extremely excited to get to his book next.
I also listened to the audio for this, and it was really good! I love Samantha so much, she’s one of my fave narrators and she, of course, nailed it!! Loved Ryan too! I’ll keep saying it, but I definitely recommend this series if you love small town swoon, with big loving families 😊
