Kyle McKallister has lived his life in the shadows. Younger brother to one of the world's most elusive and embattled celebrities, Kyle has carved out a comfortable existence touring with his famous brother and living in the lap of luxury with no commitments or plans of his own, only a deep, haunting loyalty to his brother. But his life is about to be shaken up when the opportunity comes to compete on a popular reality show.

Small town girl Kenzie Williams has come on the show for one thing only: to win. But when a disastrous start forces her to rely on an eclectic band of misfits, she finds herself immediately smitten with a handsome and mysterious cast mate. Life on the island is just a game. Can Kyle and Kenzie's fragile spark survive the pressures of the real world?

Warning! No alpha males were harmed in the making of this novel. While the laid-back, self-deprecating Kyle may someday discover his inner bad boy, he's clearly still in the baby stages of self-discovery. This is the story of an ordinary young man stumbling his way through life and the everyday girl who shows him a better way.

I got a free copy of this audio book but to be honest was going to buy it already after reading the book! Amazing couldn't recommend this audio book enough. Only disappointing thing about this author is she only has 2 books out I need more and I can't wait for more! I have both Kindle books and both audio books! One click this bad boy!!

Amazing

I cant believe that this is only the second novel from J. Bengtsson. The style of writing and story telling far exceeds this. True skill and long may it continue. Excellent performance from both Andi Arndt and Zachary Webber. I would definitely recommend both J. Bengtsson and the Cake series. I thoroughly enjoyed both stories and look forward to future novels from this Author.

One Great Writer!!

The first book I read in this series was Quinn’s story. I loved it so much that I read Jake’s story straight after and was hooked. Then I read the other books by the author but purposely avoided Kyle’s and Keith’s story. Now that I’ve been introduced to audiobooks and am hooked on Zachary Webber/Jacob Morgan’s beautiful narration, I’m working through his back catalogue. Why did I miss off this book? Such an emotional beautiful story. This audiobook was perfection. It made me laugh and had me bawling my eyes out in the last chapter. ZW does emotional and humour so well, every story he narrates is such chef’s kiss. Needless to say I loved this book and thoroughly recommend the audiobook, am looking forward to reading Scott’s and Michelle’s story which will be out later in the year.

All you need to know is that Zachary Webber narrates this book
