About this listen

The BRAND NEW laugh-out-loud, fake dating rom-com from MULTI-MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER Portia MacIntosh! Perfect for fans of Christina Lauren, Abby Jimenez and Emily Henry

Tropes & themes: Sun-drenched romance / Fake dating / Meet cute / Second chances

Don’t get mad, get Ethan!

Lana has had enough. Her ‘perfect’ sister is getting married. In Australia. On Lana’s 30th birthday and no one seems to have noticed. To make matters worse, she’s been given a list of rules she must follow so she doesn’t upstage the bride. Well, rules are meant to be bent right?

She’s found a killer dress, now she just needs the most inappropriate wedding date she can find. But where to start? All her attempts at online dating are simply disasters, and not in the right way! Too boring/married/easily intimidated! But then her drop dead gorgeous ex Ethan suddenly reappears in her life. With the power to make her dizzy with excitement she reminds herself why they broke up. Together they literally attracted chaos until their relationship imploded. They couldn’t make it work. But could Lana make this work in her favour… just for the wedding?

However, when they arrive in Australia Ethan seems to have forgotten he’s only there to help cause bedlam. Instead he’s off the charts charming, nothing like she remembers and not playing by her rules. She’s here for revenge, not a rekindled holiday romance… but Ethan has other ideas!

A laugh-out-loud fake dating romantic comedy from MULTI-MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER Portia MacIntosh.

Really enjoyed this book as well. A lot of Portia’s books are about young women who are not accepted by their family and family members are often downright abusive towards them (verbally). Lana, the female lead is in this situation too. It has the usual happy ending and the book is entertaining, light and fun. I listened to it on holiday and really enjoyed it. Moving on to my new Portia book 😁

Fun listen
