📖 I’m loving this series, which is no surprise since I have loved everything Laura has written! Lulu and Rafe are quite the pair… their meet cute had me cracking up, poor Rafe feared for his safety for a while around her. Fake dating stories are so fun to read! Watching the couple slowly become each other’s person without even realizing it’s happening… having all these rules in place that one by one start to disappear lol. And boom, before they know it, fake schmake 🤣 Rafe was seriously swoony with his desire to protect and care for Lulu in ways she wasn’t used to. Her past relationship and family dynamic was difficult, but he easily stepped up and showed her he could handle anything 😍 And I love that Lulu put herself and her goals first after years of not doing so, but still loved Rafe fiercely. They were wonderful❣️

🎧 This audio was incredible!! I’m so happy that Laura is doing duet now! And I’m a broken record at this point but swwwwwooooonnn…. I love Sean Masters’ voice! He was perfection as Rafe! That deep voice that can get growly or turn more playful, so versatile yet always sexy. And Vanessa Edwin slayed as Lulu! She nailed the sassy, confident, and sophisticated vibe and still had such warmth to her voice, providing the emotional vulnerability needed for the character. This is a must listen!
