Resumen del Editor

In a sizzling romance that sparkles with wit and depth, two wounded souls meet by chance in the desert and agree to get married, and their lives will never be the same.

On a normal day, Emmaline Darling isn’t a car thief. She’s just a simple girl who runs a bookstore and adores cats. But when she’s stranded in the desert and needs to get away from her dangerous ex-boyfriend, she picks her only option: swiping the keys to a famous football player’s Lamborghini and speeding away.

Football star Graham Harlan is in chaos. First he took a hit on the field that left him with a near-death experience, and now he’s promised his brother he’ll get married to secure the family inheritance. Trouble is he isn’t even seeing anyone.

Then a mystery woman steals his car. With his usual stubbornness, he tracks her all the way to Manhattan and gives her an ultimatum: marry me or I’ll press charges.

Her choice is obvious, only neither of them expect the sparks that ignite between them.

As the end of their arrangement looms, will Graham take a chance on love or let his darling walk away forever?

A solid 5 stars

Both narrators did a glorious job. I loved every minute of it! A true winner!

Just a sweet Romance..

I liked the storyline.
I enjoyed the Narration, alot. The Narration can make or break the book, for me.

Another Winner! ♥️📚🏈💙

Ilsa writes the most amazing books! Full of passion, love, laughs and some angst, I’m always enthralled with her books.

This one is no different, even though I’m not a big fan of the fake marriage trope. Graham and Emmy’s story is gripping from their first meeting in a shady motel in the desert, so their last romantic scene on a beach.

It has so many great moments, starting with a near death vision, to the pain of lost relationships and family members. The other characters in the book add so much to the story. This was a great book!!

The narrators both do a fantastic job. Loved it!!

Another broken man

Another broken man saved by love. Why do many of us find it so difficult to put love and family first. For some it comes easy, for others it may take a near death experience

Sweet and complex

Liked both the MMC and FMC , complex characters who seemed to grow as the story evolved . She was strong and knew her worth, I love that about the character, not whiny or angsty. He had some work to do to recognize his feelings, liked how he always came back though. Beautiful story, would recommend. Spice 2/5

Everything was just ok

Story was fine, a little slow. I never really became invested in the MMC. Plot leans into the miscommunication trope, which I’m not a fan of. It wasn’t “bad” it was just ok.

perfectly perfect

loved, loved this story. The story and characters were perfectly entwined. it was beautifully written and the reader truly connected with Graham and Emmy and their friends and family.

enjoyed it

These stories are always so good, they just leave you feeling happy.
I adore the narrators

I Actually Cried!

This book was well worth the wait. I don't want to spoil the story for anyone, but I was brought to actual tears! My heart ached for Emi. I always enjoy narrations by Savannah Peachwood and Sebastian York. The inflections in their voices, coupled with the sultry deliveries are perfect for Ilsa's books.

loved it

Well this was different. I was on the edge of my seat trying to see what these two were gonna do next. I enjoyed the humor in the book and the fact that they got married purely to help out someone else. The banter between all the characters will have you laughing. It's steamy and fun. Really enjoyed.
