Can an arranged marriage become the real thing?

Declan Knight knows he's marrying the wrong woman—the uglier sister. Esme is shorter, less experienced, less ambitious...just less in every way than his ex-fiancée, who decided to dump him for a tech bro.

When the merger between her father's and Declan's company is at stake due to obscure company bylaws, Esme has no choice but to step in and marry the man who loves her sister.

Esme's sister, Viviane, is a beautiful, high-flying, wealthy lawyer. Declan is the CEO of a global tech company. They are a power couple. Esme is a social worker who doesn't understand the business world and doesn't care about stock portfolios. She wants to help people. And yet, Declan can't deny the chemistry between him and Esme. They have nothing in common, except he wants her like he's never wanted a woman.

As the days pass, Esme has to find a way to enjoy Declan both in and out of bed without falling in love with him. Because when he leaves, as he inevitably will, it will destroy her. Declan is falling in love with his wife despite himself, drawn to her by her goodness and big heart. But she won't let him close, confident he'll hurt her.

Will Declan be able to convince Esme he loves her? And will Esme finally learn to fight for what she wants?

Maya Alden is one of my topmost and most favorite authors and this is coming from a romance avid reader/ listener, so it says something, I guess. I have read the story before, well, several times and it is amazing, captivating. The pain and love, the passion and understanding, the obstacles and yet the resolutions between Esme and Declan were surpassing.. Audiobook was a beautiful surprise and yes, it again did not disappoint. The narrator was excellent, and I felt my mind has got a read aloud voice. Everything was perfect and you would not like to miss this wonderful presentation. Thank you Maya and team for bringing more such joys.

One of my Favorites...

I have read the entire GoldenKnight Series and I love all the characters. Sadly the Audio narration was super disappointing. The Narrator didn’t bother to learn to pronounce the limited Spanish vocabulary as well as several other words. Also, the voice sounds nothing as expected for the character of Declan let alone his attempts to voice Esme. I was seriously hoping the entire Golden Knight series would be available on audiobook but definitely not with this narrator.

Love the Golden Knight Series! Very Disappointing Narration.

Calliope is pronounced cal-eye-o-pee he kept saying calli-lo-pae. Drove me nuts. I had to download the book to check.

Omg the narrator couldn’t pronounce Calliope

you really needed two narrators for this book and a different narrator. it was much better read.

I read the book and loved it, loved the series.

The storyline is decent, but the narrator was sub par. Possibly the worst narration I’ve ever heard. At times, his voice was painful to listen. I believe AI would have to been better!!

Audiobook review.

I enjoyed the story... once I got it on my kindle and read it. I almost only listen to the books I read because I just don't have time to sit down and read a book but I just couldn't listen to him any longer. First of all this book needs two narrators because there is a dual POV (one male and one female) and this guy just couldn't do a female voice. The audio was also messed up somehow, it sounded static-y like an old recording from the time of gramophones. Back to the story, the MMC was really a jerk until he changed his tune, probably half way through. Of course love is never that simple. I wouldn't ever say I loved this book which is a shame because I really loved some of her other books, but it was good. It had grovelling from both the MMC and the FMC. It's good second chance romance... if you READ IT. Seriously save your money and get the book instead.

The Narration is Really Not Good

The production value was clearly very low. There are points you can hear typing in the background (moving to the next page in the script, I presume) and the reader sounded like he had the flu through most of it.

He also seriously mispronounced several easy Spanish words, like abuela ('ah-byoo-lah', apparently), and he says Calliope as 'cali-lo-pay'. If you don't know how to say a word or name just Google it, my dude. And the way he says some of the designer brands just reminds me of the movie Showgirls and the 'ver-says' dress.

The book is okay, the 'hero' is a jerk through most of it. He frequently thinks 'I'm being terrible and treating her like trash, that's so wrong of me and it isn't fair to make her suffer so much' but not changing, while still supposedly being an overall good guy.

Normally this authors heroines frustrate me because of how weak they are but at least with Esme's history of abuse it makes sense.

Painful narrator

Dear Author,

This one doesn't compare to your wonderful work.

Fire the narrator, Beta Readers and ARC team.

The lack of female voice ruined this book.

Many cringe moments.

Wouldn't recommend this one because you're one of my favorite authors and I want them to love your work.

Missed the Mark

Quote:📖
She wasn’t a flake, I realized, no, she was a shadow who had put up walls around her to survive because people who were supposed to love her didn’t.

Thoughts: 💡
This story was enjoyable and if you’re reading it I would give it a solid 4.5 stars. However, if you plan to listen to it I highly suggest you listen to the sample first. (You might enjoy the narrator even though I didn’t.)
The story itself is very sweet and filled with all the angst you would imagine. The MCs are like oil and water at first. Declan is a very grumpy, angry man who was jilted at the altar and forced to marry someone he felt was inferior to his ex-fiance.
Esme is a victim determined to see the bright side of life and make the world better for the people around her. Her kindness and genuinity eventually win Declan over, but that doesn’t mean won her heart or her trust.
I loved the way Maya Alden portrayed the mindset of survivors. There wasn’t some easy fix and she did a great job explaining how a victim can be locked in a cycle without ever truly realizing that they are.

Writing Mechanics: ✍️
The plot was interesting and well thought out. The MCs and supporting characters had rich back stories and carefully, and entertainingly, explained backstories. I honestly enjoyed everything about this story except the narrator.

Audio:
The sound quality was clear and precise, but the narrator was not. I love smut, but every time he started talking I cringed. I think the goal was silver fox but that is not what was delivered. The accent and volume of the narration modulated in each chapter, not in relation to the story though, it just seemed like the narrator would just run out of steam. He also attempted to use accents but the accents would switch during the chapter for the same character. This didn’t seem to be in relation to dialogue or inner monologues, it just happened randomly. I generally hate giving bad reviews but this narration was rough and I felt it hurt the story when the book itself would be amazing.

Great Story, Unfortunate Narrator

I like the story line. Wish they used a male and female for the voice. I can hear a lot of back ground noice like when the reader turns off the recording or restarts. The reader needs more excitement when reading certain parts.
