Part-Time Lover

I adored the setting in Part-Time Lover, and while it was in the background, it gave the story a summery, sweet feel. We met Elise in Wanderlust, however this story is standalone. Christin turns out to be Griffin's mate. How these two met made me chuckle, and I was glad to get their story. Christian and Elise were both wonderful characters and I could not help but root for them.

One of my favorite tropes is the fake relationship and here we have the two marrying for three months to protect Christian's brother and the family business.  The banter was my favorite part, and I often laughed aloud as the conversation bounced back and forth.

The chemistry between these two sizzles. Everyone could see this was becoming more than an arrangement and watching these two come that conclusion rocked. Elise, hasn't had it easy, and I admired her strength and reasoning for helping. The arrangement was in fact her idea. I loved watching everything unfold, walking down the streets of Copenhagen and visiting the docks. 

Shane East and Grace Grant did a stellar job with the narration. Christian is a Danish-Brit and Elise is a French-American. I thought they nailed the accents and added to the already smoking chemistry. The text messages were fantastic and worked well within the audio.
