Great banter between Willa and Lincoln. Love a marriage of convenience trope.
I can sympathise with chronic pain and how grumpy it can make you.
The narrators perfectly execute the banter of the two main characters

OMG, my jaw hurt from grinning so much while listening to this book! Give me a marriage of convenience with a golden retriever MMC and I will eat it up.

Lincoln Steele is definitely one of my top book boyfriends of 2025. If you like caretaker MMCs and acts of service kings, Lincoln is your man. Willa is a strong, determined woman who struggles to accept help and pushes herself constantly – even while living with chronic pain. Lincoln refuses to let her run herself into the ground, offering care and support in a way that never feels overbearing. Their banter is amusing, their chemistry is sizzling, and their text exchanges were one of my favourite parts of the story. He’s been into her for years and jumps at every opportunity to call her “wife.” I was laughing, swooning, and grinning throughout. There’s a third-act conflict that threatens their relationship, but the way they handle it – especially Lincoln – made me love them even more. You can tell they’re a couple who are going to last well beyond the epilogue.

As always, I loved the side characters in this world. There’s so much warmth, humour, and support in the Starlight Cove community. If you’re looking for strong found family vibes, pick up a Brighton Walsh book – you won’t be disappointed. I also loved the dynamic between the Steele brothers; their playful jabs at each other and unwavering support for one another were genuinely heartwarming.

My only issue with this book is the lack of explanation for why Willa was so hostile towards Lincoln. I was expecting some third act revelation of some childhood misunderstanding that started this whole thing, but it never came. While the book is marketed as enemies to lovers, it’s clear from the start that Lincoln has feelings for her, so it reads more like a one-sided dislike to love, with no clear reason given for the initial dislike.

The narration was amazing. Savannah Peachwood is one of my favourites, but I've been sleeping on JF Harding. (I like his work, but I never purposefully look for it). They did a phenomenal job bringing the story to life, conveying the chemistry between the characters perfectly and making the listening experience truly immersive.

If you love marriage of convenience romances with a golden retriever, caretaker/ acts of service MMC, lots of banter, sizzling chemistry, and found family vibes, you should definitely pick this up.

Funny, swoony, heartwarming

The Mr & Mrs Mistake was such a great listen! I love a good marriage of convenience book, and this book delivered. Lincoln has been secretly pining for Willa for years, so of course, he was all in for calling her "his wife" and helping her out with a marriage of convenience. I adored the characters, and the banter was great throughout.

Duet narration by Savannah Peachwood and JF Harding: They were both well cast for this book and did a fantastic job bringing these characters and story to life for me.

Fantastic Listen!

Willa and Lincon have so much tension together from the very beginning that when the fake marriage takes place, things really ratchet up. They are great together, the banter top notch and laugh out loud funny. They're so enjoyable to read together! The way Lincon treats her from the very beginning is so heart warming, and it's a real treat as things progress and Willa's walls come down. This whole series so far has been so good, and this one is no exception! Highly, highly recommend.

I listened to this one on audiobook, and the narrators knocked it out of the park. Their voices were perfect for these characters and brought them to life in the best way.

10/10 listen!
