Here for the Cake

De: Jennifer Millikin

Narrado por: Hannah Chiclana, Aaron Donahue

A spicy, sassy, and swoony fake dating romantic comedy from Amazon Charts bestselling author Jennifer Millikin.

A week on an island sounds like the stuff of beach dreams, but for Paisley Royce, it's a nightmare. Her little sister is marrying her ex-college sweetheart, and Paisley is serving as maid of honor. To add insult to injury, nobody will let Paisley forget she's single.

Bachelorette weekend changes everything when she runs into her old college frenemy, Klein Madigan.

Klein is still intelligent and funny, and somehow time has only made him more attractive.

Paisley is Klein's one that got away, not that he'd ever admit it to her. A colossal misstep (and one terrible kiss) in college sealed their fate.

Or so they thought.

Klein's an aspiring author allergic to social media. Paisley owns a digital marketing agency.

A brilliant plan is hatched: A trip across the country for a week of faking out her family in exchange for her firm marketing his work.

One hastily scrawled and signed contract on a bar napkin later, Paisley and Klein embark on a journey of tension, only one bed, and fake dating shenanigans.

Paisleys goal is to survive the week.

Klein's plan is to enjoy the sun, sand, and wedding cake.

But then there's a scorching kiss to make up for that bad one in college.

And another kiss in a lighthouse during a thunderstorm. A gentle palm on Paisleys lower back, and a reassuring hand squeeze under the table.

Everyone is convinced Klein and Paisley are the real deal, but as the week wears on, they begin to wonder if the only people they're kidding are themselves.

Fantastic book!

4.5/5⭐️
2/5🌶️
5/5 🎧

This book was just the cutest! I loved the whole fake dating/wedding date vibe it had. Paisley is the maid of honor at her sisters wedding who is marrying Paisleys ex and she ends up taking Klein as her date for a week long trip full of festivities.

Klein has had some unrequited feelings ever since the thing that happened years ago and Paisley has hated him ever since that thing. The communication in this book was fantastic. I loved how supportive Klein was with Paisley and how he helped her get out of her shell and be her true self while cheering her on from the sidelines. I loved their dynamic and when the relationship went from fake to not was perfect!

The sister was super narcissistic and the OM drama was a little annoying at times, that’s why it got 4.5 stars, but otherwise I loved how sweet and intimate the story was and Kleins dirty mouth was fantastic 😉😏

The audio was done really well. I really liked both the narrators for this story. Hannah and Aaron did a wonderful job bringing the story to life!

Fun story

Here for the Cake is a fake dating, romantic comedy.

Klein and Paisley’s story was a light, fun read. The chemistry between these two could be felt through the pages. The family drama felt relatable, and all the shenanigans were entertaining. The right amount of drama, laughs and sweet moments made this a great book.

Hannah Chiclana and Aaron Donahue did a great job narrating and bringing these characters to life.

A Unique and Fun Beach Romance!

Paisley isn’t having the best day. She just checked her mail and got the invitation she was dreading receiving - the one asking her to be maid of honor for her sister’s wedding… to her EX. There’s no backing out of this one. Unfortunately. Things just keep getting better when she runs into her former college frenemy/drunken make out mistake, Klein, at the bachelorette party. 🤦🏼‍♀️

A few more unfortunate mishaps lead to Paisley and Klein hatching a fake dating scheme in exchange for Paisley’s marketing firm helping to promote Klein’s book. Truly, what could go wrong with this plan??
•
Klein and Paisley really were a perfect match for one another in this book! Klein gave me such Dan Humphrey vibes with his quick wit, funny one liners, and absolutely poetic way of viewing things around him, ESPECIALLY Paisley. 🥰 Paisley was such an endearing and relatable FMC. She struggled with family pressure and judgements, was a habitual people pleaser, and really just wanted to be happy while protecting her heart. And the narrators really did a perfect job of bringing these characters (and many meddling side characters) to life.

This book was so so well done - full of character growth, family drama and life lessons, and a fake relationship developing into so much more as the week goes on. I absolutely adored this story (yay for no third act break up) and cannot wait to continue enjoying Jenn’s books!

LOVE!

I loved everything about this book! It was so charming and fun! Perfect characters. A must read!

A great listen

I enjoyed that this was a true duet narration. Meaning female characters were voiced by a female and male characters were voiced by a male. By doing this it takes my listening pleasure up a notch. I loved Paisley and Klein. Their second chance was instant chemistry, laughter and spice. The voice characters for this book were excellent. I didn’t want them to stop talking. I didn’t want this story to end. Get this audible book you will not be disappointed.

Absolutely LOVE this book!

This is one of my favorite books that I read/listen to regularly. The narrator's and the performance drew me in and was amazing! It's such a sweet love story with great banter and comedy.

Fun Rom Com

Here for the cake is such a fun, sweet Rom Com with a second chance at love for Paisley and Klein. I actually started this audiobook thinking “ohhh no, little sister marrying Paisley’s ex, ouch my heart”. but it was done so well and we got our beautiful HEA. Paisley and Klein shared a kiss back in college and unfortunately for them it wasn’t the best one, she gave him her number, he never called, now years later, they run into each other and in a flash, they are telling the people around them they are dating! Now the fake dating must continue on to her sister’s wedding and true feelings for each other start to come to surface. I absolutely adored Klein, he made Paisley feel beautiful and seen, he stood up for her and together they built a true friendship. Paisley is dealing with family issues that until Klein came into the picture she just swept under the rug and let everyone walk all over her, to see her navigate this part is empowering, she finally took her life, her wants and truths into her own hands. I really enjoyed this book and the audio. Both Hannah Chiclana and Aaron Donahue are new to me narrators and did an outstanding job as Paisley and Klein. THEIR voices were beautiful and portrayed each character so well, I can’t wait to hear more audiobooks they narrate. If you’re looking for a second chance, fake dating romance where the MMC will protect the FMC at all costs, funny banter with cute nicknames, spicy moments, a boss babe and no 3rd act break up, than enjoy this audiobook today!!!

Thank You Valentine PR for the chance to listen and review.

"Are you catching feelings for me, Paisley?"

I had so much fun listening to this one. I don't think I stopped smiling the whole time. Watching Klein & Paisley's relationship grow into what it did made me happy, and I loved watching her learn to stand up for herself with his support.
