About this audiobook

It was supposed to be a casual affair...

Dr. Teresa Roe moved from the bustling city to small-town Pennsylvania, hoping the slower pace would help her focus on finding a partner and building a family. Unfortunately, life had other plans, and Teresa finds herself single in her mid-forties, unable to have the children she craves. Determined to focus on the positives, she builds her thriving therapy practice and joins a hook-up app looking for a fun, no-strings-attached affair.

Mark Lancaster has no time to date or cultivate a relationship, so meeting women on hook-up apps is perfect for his busy schedule. When he meets Teresa, he can’t believe his fortune at finding someone so smart, sexy and funny. In fact, his casual affair with her quickly becomes the highlight of his hectic life.

When Mark decides to run for County District Attorney, his opponent quickly reveals their relationship, spinning their affair as nefarious and almost derailing the campaign. Thankfully, Teresa agrees to enter into a fake engagement, saving him from ruin. But the road to victory isn’t easy, and as they grow closer, the relationship they both swear is casual begins to grow into something real...

Can two fiercely independent souls find true love amidst scandal?

Welcome back to Ardor Creek! If you love fake relationship shenanigans that lead to true love, this audiobook is for you! There are discussions of infertility and domestic abuse so please consider that before you listen. Enjoy!

Another great book from this series. Teresa and Marc are dedicated to their careers and have made it to their 40's still single. After meeting on a hook-up app, they enter into a no strings relationship, however once Marc runs for DA they enter into a fake engagement to help his election. These two were perfect for each other, and I think they were already a little in love before they started the fake engagement. They were truly open with each other and were the epitome of talking through everything. For two people who worked insane hours and were so committed to their careers, they both held having their own children extremely high on their 'to-do' lists, and this was the biggest stumbling block in their relationship. The topics of infertility and domestic abuse are part of the storyline, but are included really well. I you love small town romances, then you will definitely love this story. Audio review - The narration by Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott is spot on, and their duel narration just pulls you into the story so much. These two have definitely become my favourite narrators.

Kai Kennicott, Wen Ross have worked their magic once again by bringing this third installment of the series to life. Ayla Asher has done a fantastic job with the character work and story line. This combination made for a fun listen. I received a copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

This is the third story in the "Arbor Creek" series. It is a stand alone read in the small town series. It is heartwarming story about Teresa and Mark. It is a fake to so much more story. I was captivated in the story and really like the characters. This emotional story that is sweet, fun, serious and steamy.
