About this listen
She only wanted a fake boyfriend.
She ended up with a hitman.
Magdalena McCarthy
All I wanted was a date to accompany me to dinner with my parents.
A decoy to distract my mother from her ongoing mission to find me a husband.
What started out as another awkward dinner ended with us being run off the road.
Turns out my pretend boyfriend isn't who I thought he was.
He isn’t even the man I was supposed to hire.
And he has secrets that might just save us from the nightmare unfolding around me.
Rook Chambers
I moved to Glenville to start over, to escape my dark past.
And found myself mistaken for a boyfriend for hire.
I go along with the charade, only to find myself entangled with the life I left behind.
I could walk away and leave her to her fate.
After all, she's just a girl. A nobody. An innocent pawn in a dark world.
We don't even exist in the same reality.
But now, I may be the only person who can keep her alive.

Ten years ago, I fell in love. The pop princess and the rock star. On paper, we should never have worked. In public, she was a sweet girl-next-door bubble-gum pop singer. But when we were together, her passion matched mine. I was ready to make her mine forever, and then she told me it was over.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 16
Brianna Cassatto is off-limits. From the moment our families formed an alliance through marriage, she became untouchable. To not only me—but every man. I made sure of that by threatening all who dares to look her way. In the dark underworld of mafia monsters and villains, there is nothing more dangerous than the desire for a woman you cannot have. That temptation can drive a man mad, make him do the unthinkable.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 790
I can’t remember anymore if my grandfather’s eyes were blue or green, but I’ll never forget the way they wrinkled at the corners when he laughed at one of his own jokes. Or the way they sparkled with mischief when he told me tales about the magical creatures that dwelled in the forest behind his humble Irish sheep farm. As a child, I believed every fantastical word. But when he warned me about the mute boy who also lurked in those woods, the one the priest had declared to be the spawn of Satan himself, I refused to listen.

Story0 out of 5 stars 0
I found out my husband of three years had cheated on me and his mistress is the one who told me—because he didn’t have the balls to do it himself. I move out and get a new apartment, a job as a bartender, and try to move on with a broken heart. I wonder where it all went wrong, if I hadn’t been enough for him, if I’d been stupid for marrying him in the first place. I’m at work one night when he walks inside—the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen. He sits at the bar and a forest fire burns between us.

Outstanding! Not what I expected but so much more!
What an amazing story! This author has done it again! Created memorable characters, a remarkable story and the possibility of future novels. Then add in the listening experience of Thomas Locklear and Elise Hoffman and this just gets leveled up! I knew this was going to bo good right away when the two main characters have their meet cute. I could listen to Mr Locklear’s guy saying “You want the full package” over and over to his miss-taken-identity. I enjoyed the interaction between Magdalena and Rook! They made me laugh, chuckle and swoon plus I liked that she did not roll over for him right away.
Overall I was excited for this and am pleased it lived up to my expectations. The narration by Mr Locklear and Ms Hoffman was perfectly done.
I highly recommend this story!

Sublime
If I could give this book 100 stars… I would! The dual narration by Thomas and Elise is sublime, and, of course, the writing is as always amazing. I’ve come to expect only the best from L. Ann and she never disappoints!
The characters draw you in from the beginning, and there are so many twists and turns that the story continues to surprise you—until the very end!
You don’t want to miss out on the chemistry between these characters!

Love Rook!!
What do you do when you tell your mom you're dating but that is a lie? You end up answering an ad to hire a boyfriend for the upcoming family dinner. At least that's what Magdalena did at the urging of her roommate and childhood friend.
What do you do when you are sitting in a diner minding your own business and a beautiful, yet slightly awkward, woman comes up to you to hire you to be her boyfriend? You assess the situation. Out of boredom, you agree. What could it hurt? Rook was going to find out that it was going to hurt a lot.
I found this story to be hysterical and awkward. It made me wonder who was responsible for the events that transpired. I was amused at how Dally and Rook interacted. Dally was shy and awkward at times but in others, she was the polar opposite. She was strong and determined. Rook was determined, sexy as heck, and knew how to handle extremely difficult situations.
Bishop and Knight were excellent additions to the story and I cannot wait to read their own books. I could give away a lot to this book, but I choose to leave that to the readers to discover. If you are anything like me you will laugh, cry, blush at the spice, and you may just get fooled over who is responsible for the nefarious things that occur. I will say one thing for sure, I loved the twists, and the chemistry, and I WILL read this book again.
When it comes to the narration Thomas Locklear and Elise Hoffman are a powerhouse team! I can be pretty particular about Audible narration. I have found that Thomas Locklear is one of my absolute favorites. He brings so much personality and life to all of the characters he portrays. Elise Hoffman is equally adorable in her portrayal of Dally. I will continue to listen to books both of these individuals narrate.

➖❤️➖ A FIVE STAR THRILLING ROLLERCOASTER ➖❤️➖
Well, I’m certainly going to sit up and take notice of this new-to-me author from now on, because this very exciting and unique story drew me in right from the mistaken identity start. And, as the drama, angst, friction, suspense, death toll, suspicions, revelations and tender feelings between Rook and Dally grew, I high-fived this author as I fell in love with her very entertaining book. The hardened retired handsome tattooed hitman and the sheltered woman who hired HIM on fake date.. a date that would pack a weighty punch and change both their lives. There’s an age-gap.. but that’s not important, they’re from two very different worlds.. but somehow they make it work and there’s many many challenges ahead.. but together they conquer every dangerous and not so dangerous one. The duet-style dual narration was great making the scenes flow more naturally and both narrators were the perfect fit for their characters and the story.
Worth a credit? Yes I reeeeealy enjoyed this very entertaining climactic listen. From Dally’s dysfunctional dislikable family, through the quick-build tension, thrills and suspense of the despicably wonderful storyline and on. Meeting Rook’s mysterious and equally interesting brothers Knight and Bishop (who will hopefully each be getting their books released soon) as I’m sure there’s lot to uncover there. And, being swept away by a tender, sweet, passionate, sexy, challenging and chaotic romance that was created under gunfire, honed with danger and love and forged into a five star listen.

Story with twists as well as steam
This story has the best qualities of a page turner, dialogue that brings a laugh now and then, and excellent narration.
Thomas gets to share that sexy growl as well as his very appealing voice for Rook and a variety of other characters.
I just listened for the second time and thoroughly enjoyed it - L Ann is a new author for me. I am looking forward to more from her.
