But He's My Fake Fiancé by Annah Conwell

3.25

Read: October 2024
Series: But He’s a Carter Brother, #3
Format: audiobook borrow from Everand 
Narrator: Hayden Bishop, Keval Shah - I enjoyed the female narrator. I liked the male narrator for the most part but his female voices just aren’t good. 

Book #111 of 2024: My thoughts on this clean fiction book are mixed. 

Negatives: 
- taking someone else’s golf cart, etc was just in poor taste and not “free” or “fun”
- some lines were more suggestive than I care to read in a clean fiction book
- the ice cream/spoon scene was completely weird, inappropriate, and unnecessary 
- this book was a departure from everything I liked about book 1 
- I found my mind drifting a fair bit and I was excited to be reading Grayson’s story after reading the first two 
- The fake fiancé trope was too contrived to be believable with the extended length of the lie, an expensive/real diamond ring, and a trip to Hawaii. 

Positives:
- Grayson helping Sloane with her backbone was sweet 
- Sloane’s family dynamics are relatable in many ways. Mistreatment, jealousy, pain, and bad priorities exist in all walks of life. 
- The love and support of Grayson’s family is heartwarming and inspiring. 
- The reality of panic attacks and being open/honest with those you love and trust. 
- I enjoyed the setting of the ending. Very fitting.
