About This Audiobook
A former baseball rookie whose career ended too soon and a birthday party planner tired of being treated like the family joke make an unlikely pair in this small-town romantic comedy. Georgie Castle has spent years watching her family dismiss her while she crushes silently on Travis Ford, her brother's best friend. When the two hatch a fake-dating scheme to rebuild their reputations, the predictable happens: nothing about their chemistry feels fake. Tessa Bailey grounds the humor in real insecurity, giving both characters genuine stakes beneath the banter and the slow-burn tension.
Charlotte North delivers a warm, playful narration that captures Georgie's self-deprecating wit without making her sound like a pushover. She shifts convincingly into Travis's lower register, selling his bruised pride and growing tenderness in equal measure. At just under ten hours, the pacing never drags, and North's comic timing turns already-sharp dialogue into something laugh-out-loud funny.
