Publisher Description
From the New York Times bestselling author behind the “joyful, warm, touching” (Jasmine Guillory, New York Times bestselling author) The Unhoneymooners comes a delightfully charming love story about what happens when two assistants tasked with keeping a rocky relationship from explosion start to feel sparks of their own.
Carey Duncan has worked for home remodeling and design gurus Melissa and Rusty Tripp for nearly a decade. A country girl at heart, Carey started in their first store at sixteen, and—more than anyone would suspect—has helped them build an empire. With a new show and a book about to launch, the Tripps are on the verge of superstardom. There’s only one problem: America’s favorite couple can’t stand each other.
James McCann, MIT graduate and engineering genius, was originally hired as a structural engineer, but the job isn’t all he thought it’d be. The last straw? Both he and Carey must go on book tour with the Tripps and keep the wheels from falling off the proverbial bus.
Unfortunately, neither of them is in any position to quit. Carey needs health insurance, and James has been promised the role of a lifetime if he can just keep the couple on track for a few more weeks. While road-tripping with the Tripps up the West Coast, Carey and James vow to work together to keep their bosses’ secrets hidden, and their own jobs secure. But if they stop playing along—and start playing for keeps—they may have the chance to build something beautiful together…
From the “hilariously zany and heartfelt” (Booklist) Christina Lauren comes a romantic comedy that proves if it’s broke, you might as well fix it.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
When a romantic comedy opens with a couple being questioned by police, you just know you’re in for an unusual journey to happily-ever-after. Self-help gurus Melissa and Rusty Tripp are on a massive cross-country promotional tour for their new bestseller about love. Trapped with them on a cramped, smelly party bus are their overqualified personal assistants Carey and James, whose main job is keeping the feuding Tripps from killing each other—because many people’s livelihoods depend on the couple’s sparkling, fake image of marital bliss. As the story progresses, the protagonists’ relationship shifts from disdain to respect to lust to…maybe love? Christina Lauren (the best-selling writing duo behind The Honey Don’t List) are known for their sly, laugh-out-loud wit. Two narrators nail the comedic timing while also making us fully believe the characters’ emotional journey. If you love stories that poke fun at celebrity culture and social media, you’ll adore this audiobook.
Customer Reviews
Overall good book; crappy ending
Enjoyed the characters and how they were intertwined. But was disappointed in the ending. It felt rushed and forced. Especially how the characters developed and evolved I was wanting more from the ending. A little more resolution.
A Decent book
This is a nice and cute book. I overall enjoyed the book and the characters but I missed the funny and got lost at times.
Great
Loved the characters and the voices were great. Ending a little weak, wish there was an epilogue. I’ve listened to this book twice, it gets better every time!
