I thought this was a great rom-com audiobook that’ll make you laugh, swoon, and maybe even tear up a little. Narrated by Vanessa Edwin and Robert Hatchet, this story about Maeve and Asher is peak "friends-to-lovers" energy. What starts as a wild Vegas night turns into a fake marriage, but honestly, the vibes between these two are chef’s kiss from the jump.
This book has all the spice, but it also brings in some emotional depth, especially with Asher’s mental health journey. I loved how it wasn't just a cute romance – it also felt real, showing how vulnerable and complex these characters are. Asher and Maeve are a power couple in the making, and you can totally feel their chemistry.
Vanessa Edwin nails Maeve’s bubbly, funny side, but also handles the serious moments effortlessly. Robert Hatchet is perfect as Asher, balancing the funny, flirty guy with his hidden feelings. The pacing is on point – not too fast, not too slow – so it’s an easy listen that’ll keep you hooked from start to finish.
Overall, The Proposal Play is a cute, spicy, and just a little predictable (in the best way) romance that’s a total vibe. If you're into friends falling in love and a little bit of hockey, this is your next audiobook. It’s a total must-read if you want something fun and heartwarming with a side of aww.

The Proposal Play is a delightful and steamy romance that follows the unexpected journey of Maeve and Asher, two best friends who decide to make this years big adventure getting married after a wild night in Vegas. Lauren Blakely weaves a captivating tale of friendship, fake marriage, and undeniable chemistry.
Maeve and Asher's connection is palpable, their playful banter and deep-rooted affection leaping off the page. Well executed serious plot with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments and heartwarming scenes as their charade evolves into something real.
Blakely masterfully crafts a slow-burn romance, building the sexual tension with each stolen glance and lingering touch. The steamy scenes are both passionate and tender, with a heavy dash of spice.
This is more than just a steamy romance, though. It delves into the complexities of friendship and the courage it takes to risk it all for love along with more sensitive issues about mental health. Maeve and Asher's emotional journeys are both relatable and inspiring, making for a truly satisfying read.
I wholeheartedly recommend The Proposal Play to fans of contemporary romance, fake relationship tropes, hockey, and friends-to-lovers stories. It's a charming, sexy, and heartwarming novel that will leave you with a smile on your face.
I tandem read and listened to the audiobook. These narrators are absolutely amazing and bring the characters to life. The book was amazing, but the audio leveled everything up multiple notches.

Thank you to the author for this ALC!
This hockey romance series keeps getting better! Maeve and Asher have been friends for years. When a bachelor auction goes awry, Maeve steps in to save Asher. They have a marriage pact and use their date in Vegas to get hitched!
Maeve is an artist and gets offered a big job right as news breaks that they’re married. They decide to stay Mr. And Mrs. until they fulfill all of their events as a couple. They don’t want to lose their friendship, but they can’t keep their touching just in the public! They become married with benefits until the love they’ve always had comes to light!
Asher is such a sweetheart and he shows his love for Maeve and his family in the kindest ways. He’s a little obsessed but it’s cute. I wanted these two to admit their love sooner, but they needed to be friends first and foremost! I loved being able to catch up with the past couples of the series and meet new characters!
The narration was great and definitely a good read
