About This Audiobook

*Never Been Tamed* isn’t just another billionaire romance—it’s a razor-sharp, laugh-out-loud farce where the lie feels more intoxicating than the truth. J.S. Cooper crafts a heroine whose chaotic energy is matched only by her fake fiancé’s icy precision, and the push-pull between them crackles with the kind of tension that’ll have you rewinding scenes just to savor the banter. What sets this apart is the dual narration: Vincent Skye’s velvet-smooth delivery as the aloof billionaire contrasts perfectly with Amanda Stribling’s effervescent, slightly unhinged performance as the woman who’s *way* too good at playing pretend. The audiobook leans hard into the comedy, with pacing that mirrors a screwball rom-com—fast, frantic, and impossible to pause.

The real magic lies in how the story weaponizes its own absurdity. This isn’t a slow-burn fake relationship; it’s a full-throttle collision of egos, family drama, and *very* public displays of affection that feel deliciously earned. The narration elevates every beat—Skye’s dry, clipped tone when the hero’s control slips is pure audio gold, while Stribling’s breathless asides make the heroine’s internal spiral a standout. If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at a tropey premise only to be won over by execution, this is your book. It’s self-aware without being smug, steamy without sacrificing humor, and the dual POV audio format makes the emotional whiplash even more addictive.

Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Okay, let’s be real: I went into *Never Been Tamed* expecting another paint-by-numbers billionaire rom-com, but damn if this didn’t surprise me. The premise—a woman faking an engagement to a rich, emotionally constipated hottie—isn’t new, but the *execution* is what hooks you. The audiobook’s dual narration is a masterclass in contrast: Vincent Skye’s performance as the hero is all restrained power, his voice dripping with the kind of arrogance that makes you want to throw something at him (in the best way). Meanwhile, Amanda Stribling’s narration for the heroine is a livewire—her delivery is packed with sarcasm, self-deprecation, and just enough vulnerability to keep you rooting for her even when she’s making terrible decisions. The chemistry between them is electric, and the back-and-forth in shared scenes feels improvised, like you’re eavesdropping on a real couple mid-meltdown. That said, this isn’t a perfect listen. The middle act drags slightly with repetitive family drama (how many times can her mom cry over wedding plans?), and the hero’s sudden emotional 180 in the final act feels a tad rushed—like Cooper realized she’d written herself into a corner and needed to wrap it up. But the narration saves even the weaker moments; Skye’s ability to make a single *sigh* sound like a threat is worth the price of admission alone. The production quality is flawless, with seamless transitions between POVs and no jarring volume shifts. If you love enemies-to-lovers with a side of chaotic energy, this is a no-brainer. Just don’t blame me when you start talking to your phone like it’s the hero telling you to ‘behave.’
