The Problem with Pretending

By: Emma Hart

Narrated by: Will Watt, Sofia Lette

Literally colliding with the hottest guy in the world and agreeing to be his date to his sister’s wedding? Done…for some reason.

Finding out he’s actually an aristocrat and will one day inherit an ancient Scottish dukedom and castle? Yep, that’s a surprise.

Sharing a bed with him at said castle because his family thinks I’m his girlfriend? Okay, I’m sure I’ll survive. Even if he does make my heart pitter-patter and my lady bits—uh, never mind.

Dealing with his family feud, his bridezilla sister, and his grandma’s gobby cockatiel who fancies himself the castle alarm system? It’s…well, it’s…something.

Oh, and a snowstorm, keeping my real identity a secret, trying to figure out where the heck I know the Glenroch family from, and why his mum keeps looking at me weirdly? Yeah, that I’ll need some help with…

Charming story, great narration

This was a really pleasant story to listen to while multitasking. I listened all in one go and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a pleasant and engaging version of the fake relationship trope, without any angst.
Watt and Lette gave great performances. Voices, intonation, cadence, pronunciation, etc. were all spot on.

Too little will watt

Soooo long. Too much drama and overthinking for a rim-com. Very disappointed WW didn’t have a bigger role. That is why I chose this book.

Boring, dry, zero laughs and zero romance.

MMC sounds like an English snob, not a Scottish hot guy. He’s completely unlikable. I’m bored of their utter lack of chemistry.
