Publisher's summary

I never should have agreed to becoming his fake wife....

Sinclair Amadeus Sterling, a.k.a. Mr. Superior Jackass with a God complex.
Who also happens to be my blackmailer...gulp.
Tall, dark, gazillionaire growly pants.
The first time I met him, I kneed him in his very well endowed balls - don't ask!
He had that tightly leashed, controlling air and a smoldering glare that made me damp in seconds.
The only thing that sucks worse than his attitude is his (lack of) sense of humor! Honest.
Sadly, he's also the one who could save my business from going bust. Hell!
So when he offers me the chance to work with him, I can hardly refuse, right?
Only catch? I need to be his pretend wife for - hold your breath - 30 days.
I should have turned and run right then, but....
He has the connections to help my sister's failing health, not to mention the money to wipe away my debt.
And yeah, that...sneaky video recording of him getting me off. OMG!
Besides, it's only 30 days, right?
It’s not like I’m in danger of falling in love with London's most notorious bachelor.
Then he tells me the real reason for the charade.
And everything changes....

Note: This is a stand-alone enemies to lovers, fake marriage, billionaire romance featuring a hot, possessive billionaire and the curvy spitfire who dares to go toe to toe with him!

Emotional and Sexual Enemies to Lovers

Thank you, Laxmi, for writing a book that I wanted to know the ending but I didn't want it to end! This book will have several twists that will add so much to the development of these characters. Sin is a ruthless businessman with seemingly little to no redeeming characteristics, but gradually I came to love him. Summer is a loving sister who will do whatever's necessary to save her sister. Summer is sassy and challenges Sin. I love this and Laxmi also lets us hear their inner thoughts which are emotional, funny, and enlightening. There are several passionate and explosive sex and love scenes. Be still my heart!

The narrators are excellent and enhanced this story even more. They are talented storytellers that make the listener experience the emotions of these characters. Faye Adele excellently portrays Summer's spunk, caring nature, fighting spirit, and passion. Shane gives Sin a deep swooning voice and a sexy accent.

I highly recommend this Audible book. I know that a few reviewers hated that Sin cheated on Summer but they were not in a relationship at the time. He did it to emphasize that the relationship they would have was a fake one for business of some sort. But even he regretted doing this to her when he realized how it affected her.

That's a spicy meatball

First off, Shane east can read the phone book and make people swoon, add to that the extra spiciness of L. Steele's words and let's just say muy Caliente.
Slight trigger warning, about consent and somewhat consensual nonconsent, but once you're aware of that this enemies to lovers is a fantastic listen.

Great read!

Really enjoyed this one! Her writing is just super easy to follow and get into the story. If you love billionaire and fake marriage tropes then I highly suggest you give this own a go! The audio is done super well… of course I mean Shane East HELLO! They really make you feel connected to the characters.

Alpha-hole Lovers Dream

"The Billionaire's Fake Wife" by L Steele, narrated by Shane East and Faye Adele, presents an intense Alpha-hole trope with blackmail. Shane East's narration, accompanied by his British dry style, adds to the straightforwardness of the story. Initially, I found it challenging to immerse myself in the book. Still, the discovery of the bond of the Seven piqued my interest, leaving me curious to explore further into the series.

Shane East's portrayal of the male lead was exceptional, effectively capturing the character's complexities without any unnecessary emotions. His delivery of the lines remained straightforward and devoid of charm or humor, which suited the narrative's tone. Faye Adele's performance as the female lead complemented the story well, maintaining a dry and matter-of-fact tone throughout.

The revelation of the bond of the Seven brought an intriguing aspect to the story, hinting at deeper connections between the characters. Despite a slow start, the plot gained momentum as secrets were disclosed, offering a captivating world of romance, mystery, and passion with a dry and pragmatic approach. In conclusion, "The Billionaire's Fake Wife" sets a promising foundation for the series, where readers can expect more intrigue and complexity in the forthcoming books.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

The Billionaire's Fake Wife

Whew, I think my kindle us still smoking! I love the story line of this book, and I admit the only reasons I gave it a 4.5 is because I'm actually not a fan of such explicit sexual dialogue. The chemistry between these two actually seems to sizzle the entire way through! I bought the audiobook due to time constraints, but the narration done by Shane East & Faye Adele is intriguing. I had assumed that Shane would read the guy parts and Faye, the female parts. Not so, but they both did an excellent job, just not what I was expecting. I think this series is probably going to be addictive and I'm just going to have to be able to get through the explicitly serial scenes which are not in my comfort zone. I do however, want to find out about the other six. Excellent book with sizzling chemistry & overtly sexual dialogue. (Jyst mentioning that so it doesn't catch someone unaware)

Love me an alphahole!

This story got me from the start! I actually read the book first before listening to the audiobook and I have to say it did not disappoint!! Sinclair is actually my favorite out of all the seven. I love the jerk that has a soft side that only the right woman can bring out in him. I can’t wait to meet the other men from the group.

As for the narrators…I love Shane East and that really made this a great listen. He really has that deep perfect voice for Sinclair. This is the first time I’ve heard Faye Adele, so I wasn’t sure how I would like her, but I did enjoy it!

Well, too much . . . .

This plot is way too rough and unpleasant in the beginning and much, much too sweet and tender at the end. Unbelievable at both ends, and the spanking portions are especially unnecessary and unbelievable. But it was definitely good enough (and the characters were interesting enough and well drawn enough) to have me finishing the book. So, I'll check out the next and hope for a better story.
