The Fake Wedding Project

About This Audiobook

Pippa Grant delivers a sparkling rom-com where enemies-to-lovers meets fake dating in the most chaotic way possible. Our leads, Jude and Ivy, are forced into a ‘happy’ fake marriage for their families’ sake—complete with staged PDA and phony public appearances. But under the prissy bowties and forced smiles, their chemistry sizzles so hard it might just burn down the entire project. Grant’s sharp wit and snappy dialogue crackle like popcorn, ensuring laughs between every steamy scene. The plot zips along like a well-oiled rom-com machine, packed with meet-cutes, ‘why are you like this’ tension, and enough cringe to make you cringe for the right reasons. If you love your romance messy, muscular, and mercilessly funny, this one’s a knockout.

Connor Crais and CJ Bloom elevate the chaos with performances that feel like eavesdropping on your most extra friends. Crais nails Jude’s grumpy-but-horny energy with a voice that drips with dry sarcasm, while Bloom’s Ivy is all wide-eyed chaos masked by steel-spined determination. Their banter crackles, their timing is impeccable, and their ‘intimacy’ scenes? Hotter than a summer in the faux ‘happy place’ they’re faking. The dual narration keeps the energy high, though Bloom’s higher pitches sometimes blur slightly in quieter moments. A standout for fans of Hallmark-meets-taboos, with just enough edge to keep it from feeling like a too-sweet sugar rush.
