Summary

Marry me for one year. Payment: $1.2 million.  

Hayden Somerset is convinced the ad is a joke, but he responds anyway because, hello, $1.2 million. He’s broke, living in a tiny apartment with two roommates, and exhausted from praying his ancient car survives just one more week. His skyrocketing rent and crushing student loans aren’t helping either. At this point, there isn’t much Hayden wouldn’t do for that kind of cash.

The ad isn’t a joke. Jesse Ambrose is absolutely serious. His father, the charismatic patriarch of a powerful Hollywood dynasty, has his eye on politics, and he’s counting on California’s liberals and progressives to elect him. But Jesse knows what his father believes when cameras and voters aren’t around. 

As the election looms, he’ll do anything to force the man’s hand and show the public who Isaac Ambrose really is. Anything, including marrying a stranger, so his father will make good on his promise to disown Jesse if he ever takes a husband.  

Now he just has to wait for his father to take the bait...and try not to accidentally fall in love with his fake husband.

Loved it

Loved the ebook and listening to the audiobook was even better. The two narrators Michael Ferraiuolo and Greg Boudreaux who are some of my favourite narrators brought to book to life and complimented each other excellently.

A very enjoyable listen. Had me laughing out loud.

Narration was some of the best I have heard. I will be looking out for more books read by both narrators. also more books by this author .

Highly Recommended

L.A Witt is a go to author for me and this book didn’t disappoint. I throughly enjoyed the story and found both Hayden and Jesse likeable and thought they had great chemistry both in and out of the bedroom.
However, what made this book stand out for me was the dual narration comprising of Greg Boudreaux and Michael Ferraiuolo! As far as I am aware this is the first time these two narrators have worked together on an audiobook and they were awesome! I hope they get a chance to work together again in the future.

Lovely

This wasn't what I had imagined when I bought it. It started out slow but kicked up pretty fast. The characters were relatable and easy to connect with, especially Hayden. His position, financially and emotionally are very easy to connect with. Jesse, not so much but his intentions were. Trying to dethrone his controlling father was his one goal. I'm glad he got to find true love with it too.

Financial Contract/Marriage Contract

MM story. Overlong sweet well written drama of well meaning son to outrage bigoted father through marriage to a male. Like all well laid plans, this one ends with them getting well laid on their honeymoon despite this being outside the terms of the contract. Both males are beautifully narrated, which increased the atmosphere, intensity and gentle humour in the drama between the lovers and their families.

Good descriptions of the wedding, the houses and landscapes inhabited by the super-rich. No page after page of lurid sexcapades, just loving intercourse where necessary to bind and heat the story.

The HEA is not as you might expect.

Hard to rate this one. Would have been a 3.5

Good plot. But nothing original. That's fine, I don't mind a cliche as long as it's entertaining.
Good narration.
I appreciate the fact that it wasn't just filled with sex on every page. That the two main characters had feelings and emotions.
I hate pure smut, and I wish there was a way to filter those out.
Having said that, I didn't fall in love the two main characters. Parts of their personality irritated me. But that's acceptable, I like flawed characters.
I would have given it 3.5. But since it's either a 3 or 4, I decided to give the story 4 stars.
