About this listen

A small town, fake dating, ex's brother romance from Amazon bestselling author Susan Henshaw.

Christy:

After a brutal breakup, I swore to never step on Seddledowne soil again.

But then the school board begs me to be their new principal. It's my dream job.

Working with my ex or living by my toxic family? It's a no brainer.

The students are great. The ex didn't freak. Things are good.

Until my sister FaceTimes while I'm at the gym, unveiling a humiliating Find Christy a Husband scheme.

I'm praying for a Savior.

Suddenly, I'm being kissed—intensely—as my family watches. But it's who's kissing me that's shocking. My ex's hot, lawyer, playboy brother. The one with a Never Initiate the Kiss First rule.

Holden: So maybe I let myself fall for my brother's ex. No big deal. I just won't tell her.

But when I enter the gym, I see her there, about to cry.

I overhear her conversation.

Next thing I know, I've broken my number one rule.

Whatever. I can roll that off.

But the fake dating she demands after? All cuddling and no kissing with this stunner?

No way. Not happening.

Get ready for fake dating and forbidden love, dark pasts and daring rescues. But always a hard-earned happily ever after.

The book relies heavily on the previous one, I assume. So as a standalone it lacks some info. There were a few references and passages that I had no idea what the characters were referring to.

Now for the main reason I think the book is bad.

Spoiler: a lawyer having a stalker and not thinking about a restraining order, or calling the police, or even hiring a private detective to get evidence to put Amber in line is sooo hard to believe!!! Stalked for years, having worked with DAs and law firms??? Give me a break! what a weak baseline to develop the story. Just bad plot altogether. One of the worst books I read in 2025.

overall just bad
