Thank you Netgalley and Dreamscape Media for providing me with the audiobook in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own.
Jane is a bridesmaid for hire and she is about to start her biggest job yet: pretend to be Elle, the childhood best friend of Sarah, sister of Formula One driver Henry Norris. Elle cannot be at the wedding because she leaked private information about Henry to the press. Jane is determined to be the best bridesmaid Sarah could wish for when her attraction to Henry seems to get in the way. Especially when it is reciprocated... π
The audiobook had a really good narrator. Normally, I prefer two narrators whenever there is a dual POV but Rachel L. Jacobs did such a good job. I always knew when we were in either Jane's or Henry's point of view. (Which is also due to the writing!) Jacobs also did good American and British accents. This really added to the audiobook.
The story was a really nice romance. I flew through the audiobook. The setting around a wedding was really nice. I just like that vibe. The two love interests had a really nice tension which lead to even better smut πΆπΆ The third act I saw coming but I felt like it was nicely done, not overly dramatic which I liked.
I felt that Henry's last name Norris was really on the nose, since there is a F1 driver, Lando Norris. I just don't know why the name stayed? Personally, I would have changed it. Also, there wasn't a lot of Formula One stuff besides some references. Which I thought was fine. I watch F1 with my family but I am not a huge fan. If you really want it to be surrounded by a circuit then this might not be the book for you.And I found it a little funny/ridiculous that he proposed after a month. And they hadn't even had a talk about whether or not they wanted children. But oh well it's a romance.
I would recommend this audiobook to anyone who wants a nice spicy romance surrounded by a wedding and secrets with nice tension between the love interests.
