About This Audiobook

If your ex thinks they’ve won by moving on with your best friend, it’s time to hit back—loudly. *Fake Dating the Boss* is the rom-com equivalent of a glitter bomb: messy, glittery, and impossible to ignore. Lili Valente’s heroine, B, isn’t just heartbroken; she’s CEO-level petty, and she’s hired not one but two fake boyfriends to make her ex eat his smug words. The plot’s a deliciously over-the-top revenge fantasy framed as a corporate satire, where boardroom battles are just as cutthroat as breakup fallout. The audiobook’s sharp dialogue and rapid-fire banter demand a narrator who can sell the chaos, and Tyler Donne and Summer Roberts deliver like a comedy duo trading off beats like pros. Their chemistry crackles, especially in scenes where B’s schemes spiral into outright farce—think awkward charity galas and disastrous public displays of affection that somehow feel like business strategy. What makes this audiobook distinctive isn’t just its revenge angle but its unapologetic embrace of the absurd. Valente writes B as a protagonist who’s equal parts ruthless and ridiculous, and the narration leans into the humor without ever undermining the stakes. The dual perspectives—B’s steamy, strategic romance with her fake partner, Cade, and the slow-burn dynamic with her ruthless boss—keep the energy high, even when the plot veers into rom-com cliché. It’s a guilty pleasure with bite, perfect for listeners who want their romance spicy and their revenge served with a side of snark.

Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

I went into this audiobook expecting a light, fluffy fake-dating romp, but what I got was a full-blown rom-com powerhouse with the emotional range of a rom-com and the strategic cunning of a corporate raider. Tyler Donne and Summer Roberts are the dream team here, with Donne nailing Cade’s dry, brooding charm and Roberts stealing scenes as the chaotic, brilliant B. Their pacing is impeccable, especially in the early chapters where B’s revenge plots unfold like a high-stakes game of chess—if chess were played at a yacht party while everyone’s drunk on revenge-fueled sarcasm. That said, the story stumbles a bit when it tries to balance the fake dating trope with actual workplace satire. The corporate backdrop feels thin, and some of B’s business decisions read more like authorial wish fulfillment than strategic maneuvering. The steamy scenes, however, are where this audiobook truly shines—Donne and Roberts sell the tension with palpable chemistry, making even the most ridiculous moments feel grounded in genuine desire. The production is polished but never sterile, with just enough ambient chatter in the background to make the audiobook feel like a live performance. If you’re here for a rom-com that’s equal parts revenge fantasy and workplace parody, this is your audiobook. If you’re allergic to over-the-top villains and corporate power plays, proceed with caution.
