The Partner Plot by Kristina Forest
4.5
Mini Audiobook Review: Thank you so much to Berkley #partner for the free book!
Last year I had read The Neighbor Favor and I know I enjoyed it but wasn't too memorable. But this one, Kristina knocked it out of the park!
Violet and Xavier were once high school sweethearts and were now reunited in Vegas. Things get carried away and they *almost* got married. But when Violet accidentally spills to a news outlet that she was married, Xavier and her had no choice but to give in to the rouse of them being married.
I love a fake dating trope and this one was so good! The tension between Violet and Xavier was done so well! Them being in a relationship previously and knowing each other made it all better. Violet injuries her foot which forces her to be back in her hometown a lot longer than anticipated. And since they are telling people they are married, they now have to share a space in his apartment where the sparks begin. They both just fell back into their orbit which made them getting into a real relationship easy peasy. Xavier was so sweet and was attentive to Violet. I did get nervous when she had gone back to work and Violet was really busy with her career. But they were able to figure out what worked best for them.
I thought the narrators for this were excellent. Benjamin Charles had such a deep tone that just made me melt while listening to him. Aure Nash was such a fresh voice and had just enough sweetness for Violet.
Angel and Lyric were introduced in this book (if they were in the first, I'm sorry I forgot) which is a great segway into the next book in the series!
