• The Practice Proposal

• By: Tracy March
• Narrated by: Dara Rosenberg

Liza Sutherland is not looking for love. It wasn’t from a charity auction that she didn’t even enter the auction and especially not with Cole Collins, the first national team player, the guy she was obsessed with as a clumsy teenager. She won’t get involved with a notorious playboy, no matter how attractive Cole may be.

Cole Collins is set to renegotiate his contract, but after so much partying all night, he’ll need some aggressive advertising before he can make the list. His agent Frank considers Liza the perfect prop – only Cole doesn’t take into account that Liza is no longer just an emotional teenager. She’s beautiful and smart and he’s instantly hooked.

When Frank makes a deal that Liza can’t refuse – betting she’ll fall in love with Cole or half a million awesome dollars going to charity – the game begins. But don’t bet on the emotions that really emerge. Can fake become official forever?

Fun fake girlfriend/sports romance with some twists. Both H and h have hidden motives for dating the other at an unfortunate time. He’s been trying to clean up his image to improve his new professional baseball contract extension. She was offered a donation to her employer to save her job. Don’t cheat and have HEA. The narrator is a bit slow in my opinion, but I’m happier at 1.1x. Mild anxiety and low temperature.

I was worried about sports being the setting in this story but that’s not the point. The story is very good and there are no offensive sex scenes, which I don’t care about. There’s a secret I DON’T see coming… and I pride myself on my predictability. The vocal performance was very well done. She doesn’t have a dull tone like many other female artists. I felt very invested in the characters and enjoyed the ending. I will definitely check out more from this author!!
