📖 Maeve, Asher, and Maeve’s brother are all best friends. Maeve and Asher made a marriage pact a couple years ago and while on a trip to Vegas decided to go for it, they’ll just got it annulled when they get home, right? Wrong… turns out they need to ride it out for a bit for their careers. Turns out they have also been mutually pining and the close proximity of a fake marriage arrangement is all they need to push everything into the real territory… EEK SO FUN! I love when everyone knows what’s going on except for them! I love how they truly cared about each other on that deep friendship level first and knew each other so well, even when things could have gone off the rails, they were there for each other as a support system first 🫶🏻

🎧 Vanessa and Rob nailed this duet performance! Maeve is independent, witty, and sweet and Vanessa captured that all with her narration. Rob has such a warm, smooth voice that is perfect for charming hockey player Asher. The duet narration really delivered an incredible listening experience, enhancing the friends to lovers vibe with easy banter and a lighthearted feel. The chemistry between characters was also felt between narrators in some smoking hot spicy scenes 🔥🔥
