Consider Me

About This Audiobook

Becka Mack’s *Consider Me* isn’t your average rom-com—it’s a high-stakes, slow-burn fake relationship romp where the chemistry could knock you out faster than a check against the boards. Meet Carter Beckett, the NHL’s most infuriatingly attractive player, who’s spent years cultivating a reputation as the league’s resident heartbreaker. That is, until his PR team demands a PR-friendly girlfriend to soften his "bad boy" image. Enter quiet, rule-following legal assistant Claire Bennett, who takes the gig for the cash—and ends up tangled in a web of staged dates, accidental touches, and very, very real feelings. The premise sounds like a trope, but Mack’s sharp dialogue and snappy pacing keep it from feeling stale, trading clichés for a relationship that actually feels earned, messy, and hilariously unpredictable. The audiobook’s real standout? The way it balances rom-com razzle-dazzle with moments of surprising emotional depth—like when Claire’s carefully constructed walls start to crack under Carter’s relentless charm.

The narration duo of Kasha Kensington and Alex Kydd is the secret weapon here. Kensington, voicing Claire, nails the character’s prickly exterior and reluctant softness, her vocal inflections shifting from icy professionalism to breathless fluster in a heartbeat. Kydd, meanwhile, embodies Carter’s swagger with a playful, smirky edge that never veers into cartoonishness. Their chemistry crackles, especially in scenes where the "act" starts to feel too real. The production is crisp and well-paced, with subtle sound design that occasionally cues emotional beats (a door slamming, a glass breaking) without overdoing it. If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at a fake-dating trope but secretly crave the catharsis of two opposites crashing into each other, this audiobook delivers—with a side of hockey rink drama you didn’t know you needed.
