Pretending I Love Lucy

Apple Valley Love Stories, Book 3

By: Julie Christianson

Narrated by: Rock Engle, Stephanie Rose

The first rule of being a winner? Never lose your heart…

People think it’s easy being Felix Dodd III, and sure, the legacy and inheritance aren’t exactly terrible. But the name comes with so many strings; my hands feel permanently tied. Like I’m stuck following in my father’s footsteps. Like I can’t trust people’s intentions. Like my grandmother wants me settled down before my thirtieth birthday.

I’ve got less than zero interest in marriage, ever since my one attempt at love crashed and burned. But Grams won’t let me access my trust until I’m engaged. Which means I need a fiancée.

Someone who’s looking for quick cash and a quicker getaway.

Someone like Lucy Devlin.

She’s got less than zero interest in me. But if I can get her to play along—just long enough to fool my grandmother—Lucy will be a whole lot richer, Grams will be none the wiser, and I’ll stay heartbreak free.

Just as long as I remember the new rule: Don’t love Lucy for real.

This heartwarming, hilarious romantic comedy has all the sizzle and swoon, but no explicit content. The entire Apple Valley series can be listened to in any order.

Absolutely adorable!

I read this as a paperback book first and have now enjoyed it just as much listening to the audio as I did the first read through! I can’t wait to read more from this author!

Pretending

Really enjoyable story. Julie Christianson writes romance like Chuck Norris does push-ups: very, very well! I like the narrators too. Though Rock Engle should maybe work on the Grams voice.

Sweet romance

I enjoyed the story and all the characters in this story especially Grams!! It showed how people can learn so much from others and can improve their quality of life

Love this book!

I loved listening to Fix & Lucy's story come to life with the help of these amazing narrators!!

Enjoyed story but enjoyed more when I read it

I enjoyed reading this story more than the audio book. I didn’t care for”Grams” voice, and some of the kids voices. I assumed was done by the man. Lucy’s voice actor did a good job but the overall audio presentation seemed to lack the life and emotion of the characters when reading the book. I often listen to books after reading them and sometimes they are even better than the read.
