Fake Fiancé (A Second Chance Office Romance) AUDIO BOOK by Amy McKinley – Review by Kayla Octaviano

FIVE STARS!!

Fake Fiancé is a sophisticated romance novel that takes place in awe striking Verona where Romeo and Juliet fell in love and died for each other. The story follows Adeline, a strong, beautiful, clumsy woman with a drive to strengthen her career. Stone is a young entrepreneur who owns a hotel and is looking to expand. Neither realize what they really need until she falls into his life. The time period romance warms your heart and makes you realize how lucky we are to be able to live and love in our present world. Will this couple be able to work it out for reals? Or will their past mess everything up?

Fake Fiancé (A Second Chance Office Romance) AUDIO BOOK by Amy McKinley – Review by Charlisa Wahtomy-Alba

Adeline is freshly graduated and off to start her life in Italy. She got a job offer thanks to a sorority sister and takes the opportunity to expand her horizons. Being a whole ocean away from her clingy ex is a major plus. She knows next to nothing about her soon to be boss, Stone Crenshaw, but boy does she make a great first impression upon meeting him for the first time.

Stone Crenshaw is currently renovating his historic hotel and wants nothing more than to be done with this so he can focus on other things. He wants to move on to newer, fresher projects and keep himself busy. The first meeting with Adeline was not a smooth one, but he was willing to give her a chance to prove that she is willing and able to fill the shoes of his current secretary. Stone finds out that a well known hotelier is ready to sell and he pounces at the chance to nab the hotel. The only problem is that this man is family-oriented and Stone doesn’t have a family of his own. He will go to any lengths to make this deal happen including making Adeline his fiancé.

I enjoyed the story line for this book very much. It was a good listen while I did chores around the house and it kept me entertained. I especially liked the idea that they were reincarnated soul mates of a couple from different social backgrounds many years before. I like to think that reincarnation is a thing and that two people who are truly meant to be together find one another in every life that they live.

What a love story!

What a love story. Stone and Adeline were destined to be together. The story is set in gorgeous Verona Italy and you just want to fall in love from the start. From their first accidental meeting as she fell into his arms to the ending it keeps you on your toes. If only every love story could be like this. Lovers of the past broken apart only to be reunited again in another life. So intriguing and captivating.

I really enjoyed this story. It was fast paced, quick witted and the characters were well written and likable. 19 year old Adeline is due to start a new dream job in sunny Italy after graduating when an encounter with a psychic at her sorority graduation party tells her to remember to follow her heart. Determined to only focus on her career and her hard earned success, a spanner is thrown in the works when her hot, sexy boss Stone asks her to be his fake fiance. I got lost in this story and found it entertaining with great scene setting from the author. I also found the narration to this story added more depth and really helped bring the story to life.

This story was interesting, a little fast paced but definitely romantic.
Adenine has her career path all planned out, and the first step after college is to work for Stone Enterprises. Thanks to her soriety sister, she’s on her way to work as Stone’s personal assistant and away from her clingy ex.
As soon as Adeline arrives in Italy, she feels a connection with the hotel and also a connection to Stone, which she can’t explain.
When Stone needs her to be his fake fiancé for a business deal, she’s more than happy to help out, but on her own terms.
Adeline was a likeable character that seemed to be older than she actually was, she was extremely confident and took charge, not letting anyone walk over her, including Stone.
Stone was a cool headed business guy, but something about the hotel was making him uncomfortable, but he can’t figure out what it is.
The mix of dreams and a past life made this story interesting to read, and also helped explain the instant attraction between these two. The epilogue was also a nice touch.
I listened to this story as an audio book, the narration was easy to listen to and I would happily listen to a book read by Regan Brown again.

I enjoyed this audiobook.  The author and narrator made this fun to listen to.  This is a romance story that I had no problems listening to as it was brought to life.   The narrator’s voice and the changes in tone just added to the story.  Adeline has her dream job all set up in Italy, the city of love. Once she gets there, the city of love isn’t what she expected. She now finds herself playing the role of fiance to her boss, Stone. Now they are faced with keeping their relationship business or crossing a professional line. Will they cross that line and give in to the attraction?  Great story and I highly recommend this audiobook.  It is worth the pick up.

McKinley writes a beautiful book and I love how the narrator brought it to life. If you’ve already loved the written version, I promise you’ll want to listen to this and enjoy it in a brand new way. If you love a good romance, you need to add this to your library immediately.

A quick listen for a relaxing Saturday. This story had a good storyline, interesting characters and a happy ending. The dynamic of the flashbacks was great, but it was hard to grasp in the beginning. Probably would have realized if I read the book vs listening to the audible version. But good overall and the flashback dynamic made it interesting.

4 out of 5 stars!!

This was my first McKinley Audiobook, so I had no idea what to expect other than I loved the synopsis and the cover.   I’m so glad I judged this book by the beautiful cover and snatched it up!  McKinley’s skill with world-building was just as beautiful as the Italian setting she describes, and don’t get me started on the characters!!  STONE!! Holy Smokes!! Handsome, wealthy, set in his ways Alpha with a “pretend” soft spot for his assistant!  Adeline is strong, beautiful, confident, and really dang good at her job especially when her role became loving “fiancé” to her boss.  I truly loved McKinley’s attention to making both of the leads independent, mentally healthy, confident individuals who truly formed a mutually beneficial bond.  That doesn’t mean it always goes well for them, but you feel that both Stone and Adeline are a true catch worthy of finding love, even if it isn’t with the other.  I can’t wait to find my next McKinley read!!

Fake Fiancé (A Second Chance Office Romance) AUDIO BOOK by Amy McKinley – Review by Robin Rankin

Fake Fiancé by Amy McKinley is one of those books that is easy to get lost in.  Ms. Brown’s voice is very pleasant and helped me get lost a little more in the story.

Adeline is young and ambitious and ready to start the next phase of her life in Italy without a clue on how much is going to happen once she gets there.

I have never had the pleasure of going to Italy but it’s on my list, and Verona is pretty high on my list of cities to visit, partially because of this book.

I really enjoyed this book. Adeline is such a strong and independent woman. I loved her career drive to succeed. Definitely has a head on her shoulders and doesn’t take any guff. The way the story incorporates the past and present is very intriguing. The author Amy McKinley has a way of making you want to travel to Italy with your love and enjoy the opulence of the country.

I read this book a while back but when I saw that it was on audible  I just had to get it, and i was not disappointed

Regan Brown did an excellent job with the narration!!
Here is my original review on the story

WOW what a rollercoaster ride…. the push and pull between these two was off the charts, chemistry out of this world.
I can’t believe how much Amy McKinley was able to put into only 158 pages. She put a jampacked story into a Novella. The character development is superb and the storyline great.
This was my first read by this Author but I’m definitely going back for more

Fake Fiancé: A Second Chance Office Romance is a contemporary romance by Amy McKinley. This is my new favorite book by Ms. McKinley. I was just the right length to fill an afternoon. Adeline and Stone have chemistry that is off the charts. The dialogue is witty and made me laugh out loud. I highly recommend this audiobook and look forward to listening to many more by Amy McKinley. 

Regan Brown did an excellent job with the narration. Her voice is smooth and easy to listen to and makes the characters come to life. She is on my look out list for narrators.

This was an emotional read. It is a story I love and the characters are so well written. I really enjoyed the concept of this story and the way it was paced not to fast not to slow. I like how we got to read from each character POV. Other relationship’s and dynamics are also shown which further impact’s this storytelling. Pasts can have an ugly way of revealing. I love the audio person on this book they done a great job of converting the characters.

I loved this story. While short and sweet, it was absolutely well pieced together and the story moved smoothly. It did not feel rushed and each chapter rolled into the other without feeling lost in the story as if having missing important information.
The chemistry between Stone and Adeline is quick and fantastic. It burns hot and quick and I love the banter and quick wit that Adeline has.
This book is for lovers of YA, and Romance. This is a solid 5 out of 5 stars.

I was very surprised by this audiobook; it was very engaging and captivating. You could feel their chemistry coming off the words and narration. I could not stop listening to it. I recommend this listen to anyone who enjoys heartwarming office romance. As I was listening I was cheering for Adeline’s character to find her happily every after what that meant for her, she is such a strong woman that it is nice to see her vulnerable through parts of the book.

Fake Fiancé (A Second Chance Office Romance) AUDIO BOOK by Amy McKinley – Review by Tracy Gutierrez

First time really listening to a book, instead of actually reading, and I must say I really enjoyed it. Adeline and Stone’s story is very intriguing. She starts working for Stone as his assistant while his regular assistant is on maternity leave. She just seems to crash into Stone and from there the flashbacks begin. They feel as if they’d met before kind of a déjà vu. Then he asks her to be his fake fiancé and they start to hit it off. Both begin to have feelings for each other. I truly enjoyed listening to this book. I think I’ll try it again with another of this author’s books.

Fake Fiancé: A Second Chance Office Romance. Adeline has spunk and attitude which she needs all that with this job.
She got this wonderful job opportunity and won’t let anyone stand in her way. This book was well written this is the first book I have read from this author but it won’t be the last. This book was one that I couldn’t stop till the end.

This was a really great story. There was plenty of emotion, intrigue, and spice to keep you wanting more. You have to pay attention in the beginning, so you are clear on when they are going back to Christiano and Francesca. Stone sounded like a real catch and I loved how smart and strong Adeline was. It makes me want to visit Italy even more than I did before I read this book (which was a lot). This is definitely a must read and a story you will totally enjoy! 10 out of 10!

When Adeline gets the opportunity to work in her dream job, she takes it and travels to the city of love. Despite her new, hot-yet-growly boss, she’s willing to put in the time and effort to make all her dreams come true…even if that means becoming her boss’s fake fiancé. Adeline and Stone have an instant connection, one could even call it a little supernatural, a love written in the stars. There’s a mysterious paranormal element to Fake Fiancé that immediately pulls you in and keeps your attention throughout. Set in the romantic backdrop of Italy, this story will have you immersed from the first page until the last.

When you think you have scored the best job, then you have to decide do you go with what your boss wants or not?

Adeline has just found her dream job but there is one thing she has been asked by her boss to be his “fake fiancé”. This may become difficult when the line between professional and plutonic becomes blurred and will they be able to keep their feelings separate.

I love this author, the book itself is a novella but it packs a punch which feels like a full novel. The characters are well written, developed and create a great chemistry within the story. I could not put the book down and really enjoyed the character of Adeline as she was funny and would also love to see these characters in the future.

If you love a great romance novel with a bit of a twist this is a brilliant story to get your teeth into.

This was my first audiobook ever. And I loved it. I have always been concerned about listening to a story and not being able to connect with the characters, but I found that is not the case. This is a phenomenal book from this author. I think she did a really great job drawing me into the story and keeping me interested in the characters and what would happen to them in the end. I found this story relatable and very funny with some mystery and romance mixed in. I really hope that she has at least one additional book planned for these characters because I feel there is so much more that can be written about them. Also, the narrator was phenomenal, and I thought did a perfect job with inflection and tone of voice throughout this reading. I feel like I could have listened forever that was how enjoyable it was.

This book was great! This isn’t my first book by this author but it is my first audio by her! I was pulled in from the beginning and was kept interested throughout all of the story. Stone and Adeline were great main characters because they were very likable and relatable. I was able to listen to this audio while I traveled back home and it made the trip fly by. I love when a book/audio makes me lose track of time because that means it was good!
I really liked this narrator. Her voice was nice and light. I would love to listen to more voiced by her in the future as well as read/listen to more by this author too!
I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a sweet romance to pass the time with!
Happy Listening!

I really love the audio books. I like to be able to plug in my earphones and hear the book and go about my jobs. I love how the narrator is able to accentuate her voice and bring the characters to life. I was able to just drift off into the book and visualize the goings on. I really felt as though I was part of the story.

The characters are really brought to life by the narrator. I was really able to feel all the emotions Adeline was feeling and really routed for her and Stone. It may have started out as a rouse but it all falls into place. I really enjoyed this audio book and will definitely read and/or listen to more from this author.
