Here for the Cake

By: Jennifer Millikin

Narrated by: 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.

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.

Voiced correctly!!!

They did this one right! All the male parts were spoken by the man and female spoken by the woman! I’ve been waiting for them to finally get this right

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!

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.
