Publisher's summary

It’s a simple business deal until things get personal.

I’m one of Toronto’s most eligible bachelors and CEO of Rothwell Enterprises. I wear success like a well-tailored suit, but that doesn’t mean I’m not at the mercy of others.

My heavily guarded trust fund is all I need to take my business to new heights. But to get my hands on that money, I have only two options: Wait 'til I’m 40 or get married.

With my 40th birthday still years away, getting married is the best short-term option. And when a woman walks into my office with a problem of her own, I see a golden opportunity for both of us to get what we want.

She needs a lawyer and I need a wife. My proposition? She pretends to be my love interest and I’ll make her legal problem go away. It’s a simple win-win situation.

If we play this right, nothing can go wrong....

At least, that’s what I thought.

Fantastic!

New authors are so much fun to get to know, and SM West is new to me. This book has it all. It pushes all the buttons and I could not stop listening! Paige is being stalked by her landlord. In need of a lawyer, her brother calls in a favor, and is put in touch with real estate mogul, Zach. Zach needs access to his trust fund, but stipulations keep changing, and now he needs a wife. The deal is made. His help for hers and the romance begins. This couple has it all. And what I really love, over and above their chemistry is the way they talk. It's not just about sex, or their reason for the deal. They talk. And it's refreshing! The added element of the crazy landlord just pumps up the creepy suspense, and I am a lover of it. It's got it all! And now I am going to go look for more from SM West!

Not only is the story good, but the narration team of Ava Erickson and Tor Thom just enhanced it for me. Erickson has such a great voice and she dials into Paige finding all the nuances of her personality. Thom finds that alpha male essence and adds that to the strong, compassionate disposition of Zach and brings him to life. It's a phenomenal listen!

Heartwarming and suspenseful

S. M. West did a wonderful job with the fake relationship between Paige and Zach! Their relationship demonstrated the toll it took and the anxiety caused to maintain the ruse of a real relationship. Paige was strong-willed, intelligent, compassionate and loving! Zach was protective, generous and slightly manipulative. Although different, both complemented each other and fell in love without wanting to reveal their feelings for fear of rejection. Their story also highlighted the injustices of proving a victim being stalked. The storyline was heartwarming, suspenseful and thought provoking! Ava Erickson and Tor Thom’s performances were stellar! They made me feel a wide range of emotions and really enhanced my listening experience!

"You've Got Exactly What I'm Craving"

4.5 stars - I enjoyed this addition to the series. The reason that Paige needs to reach out for help, landing in Zach's path, is scary for any single woman living on her own. The landlord has crossed the line, repeatedly, escalating with each event.

The fact that Zach has a responding proposal to Paige's request for assistance sets these two on a course for trouble. Thankfully, the good events outweigh the bad as they pummel through their lines drawn in the sand. I love that the quickly formed bond throws them for a loop and each staggers to find footing as they realize that what's happening isn't as fake as they planned.

I won't ruin it but I LOVE the second part of the epilogue. In a word, perfect. The conclusion is very appropriate. ❤🔥❤

I listened to an author copy of the audio book. I loved Ava Erickson and Tor Thom as the narrators. Tor has such a rich voice.... Mmm.... 😍

Fantastic Fake Relationship Story

I LOVED this book. Fake relationships is one of my favorite tropes and when I read the blurb for this book, I knew immediately it sounded like a book I would enjoy. It surpassed my expectations.

Paige meets Zach when she needs help with a landlord issue. Zach is looking for someone to enter into a fake marriage with him so he can gain access to his trust fund. They decide they can help each other out with their respective issues. That just touches the surface of the story and it soon becomes a question of whether something that starts as fake can turn real.

I loved both Paige and Zach. Paige has trouble believing that Zach would be interested in a real relationship with her and watching her struggle with that was heartbreaking. She fits in fantastically with Zach’s grandmother and cousin and I loved watching those relationships develop. Paige grew throughout the book and she found her own identity by the end. It was a joy to watch her journey.

Zach seemed like he was going to be a jerk, but it didn’t take long for his true colors to show. Underneath the tough exterior, he was a loving, protective man who just wanted to make those he loved happy. I loved how open he was with Paige about his business and although he did keep some secrets, he thought he was doing what was best for everyone. He did have a bad habit of assuming that people knew how he was feeling without him actually speaking it.

It was such fun watching Zach and Paige’s relationship develop. They were funny, sweet, heart-wrenching, sexy, and an all-around delight. Their chemistry was off the charts!!

I love Ava Erickson's narration. She WAS Paige. Tor Thom was a new narrator to me and his voice is yummy. It's so rich and deep that he perfectly embodies Zach.

This was one of best fake relationship stories I’ve read in a long time. I would highly recommend it. .

Lovers the story, loved the characters...just Loved it!

This is such a wonderful story! I was easily drawn into the plight of Paige. Even Zach and his struggles. This is a great romantic listen with a suspenseful twist in there. It has such a nice flow and made me *feel with the characters. Paige is a favorite because she really didn’t take any of Zach’s bossiness. But yet when push came to shove he wanted to be all up in her business. She also...well they both had such growth in their characters it was nice to follow along. I loved her family! They are so friendly and adorable. Perfect secondary characters!

I did listen to this on audio. Tor Thom and Ava Erickson did an amazing job. Tor Thom rocks this as Zach and his other male voices (the landlord!). His voice is soo sexy when he does the love scenes....and other times too!

This is a new author for me. I will be looking for more from her to listen to. I really enjoyed this one. Her character building and story were perfect!

Excellent fake romance

I asked to receive this free review Audible book and wrote this unbiased review. S. M. West has written a captivating, heartwarming, as well as heart-wrenching, story about a fake relationship. I fell in love with these characters from the start. As the characters are developed you will realize that they are caring and loving and doing what they think is best for the company as well as each other and their families and friends. Zach becomes very protective of Paige and it's heartwarming to see his love grow for her. Paige inwardly battles with the terms of the contract and her growing love for Zach. I love the banter between these two. Add in a stalker and the story gets more complicated.

Tor Thom and Ava Erickson are perfect narrators for this story. They capture the essence of these characters and vividly portray their emotions and personalities. It is so easy the picture the scenes in your mind.

I highly recommend this Audible book. It is one that I will definitely listen to again. This story will put a smile on your face.

Enjoyable

This book killed me.....I cried, I laughed, I chuckled, I cried so more and then I fell in love with Real Liars. S.M. West has a way of pulling you into her books, making you live the characters life, feel like they feel and then want to make you turn back to listen to it once it's all over! I loved every single moment!! Can not wait to see what this author throws at us next, please done make us wait too long..... please!

*I received this audio book in exchange for an honest review.*
