Wreck Me

The Beckett Brothers, Book 1

By: L A Gallagher

Narrated by: Avery Caris, Sean Masters

A hot, forbidden love, age-gap romance

SCARLETT:

I’ve spent five years hiding in plain sight, burying my head in my books, courtesy of a scholarship at Dublin's most prestigious college. But now, for the first time in my life, I feel seen. Wanted. Desired. And I've awakened a need I never knew I had.

Enter James Beckett, a billionaire bachelor with a reputation as famous as his family’s whiskey empire, and he wants me to be his fake girlfriend until he conquers the next part of his empire.

He'll even tutor me through my final exams... and anything else I require tuition in.

But some educations come at a devastating price.

Our arrangement will either secure my future, or shatter my world…

JAMES:

Yet another scandal means I'm heartbeat away from being fired as CEO from my own family's whiskey distillery, unless I can prove to my father and The Board that I’ve shed my playboy reputation.

The last thing I want is a showpiece society wife.

Especially when I'm obsessed with The Luxor Lounge's newest dancer.

At only twenty-three, Scarlett radiates an innocence that drives me wild.

Fooling around with my fake girlfriend was always part of my plan.

Falling for her wasn’t.

She's everything I crave, but everything my father forbids.

Even if I can convince him that Scarlett is the one for me, she’s been keeping a secret.

One that could wreck me...

James & Scarlett!

LA Gallagher, you have my attention! This book has it all! I love a good age gap, alpha male, billionaire romance and this one definitely pushes all the right buttons. James and Scarlett meet under unusual circumstances, but their chemistry is real. Not only protecting her from a precarious situation, he offers her a fake relationship to help his playboy reputation out. But that close proximity leads to more and as things on the outside seem perfect, Scarlett holds a secret that can destroy them. But will it? I love getting to know a family and the Becketts are proving to be a lot of fun. The siblings have the fun banter and at the same time have the support for each other. And the spice, the banter, and the relationship that builds between James and Scarlett was fun. I enjoyed this one!

I think the choice of Avery Caris and Sean Masters were an amazing choice for these two characters. The Irish brogue just adds to the charisma they bring to the table as they bring out all the feelings. I loved this team and loved their performance.

So good

Duet narration - Sean Masters & Avery Caris

My first book by this author and I truly enjoyed it. I loved the narrators. They did the accents so well it felt and sounded natural.

James is the oldest of the Beckett brothers and he’s known as a playboy never being seen with the same women more than one time. He is in some hot water with his families company and his father is forcing him to settle down. He has one year to find a wife or his father will choose one for him.

Scarlett is in a mountain of debt and almost finished with college getting her degree in finance. Taking a well paying job at a high end gentleman’s club with her best friend she did not expect to find the man of her dreams.

This slow burn is full of tension, secrets, and great banter. I am looking forward to more audios in this series.

I Love Good Whiskey and J Beckett

This billionaire romance was the perfect break from my typical dark fantasy romance. I’m not one to usually choose a billionaire romance, but this story was just perfect. James and Scarlett‘s love story is a heart melting, swoon worthy, giggling and blushing good time. From the first moment he saw her he was obsessed, but what he didn’t know was that she had been crushing on him since she was a teenager. So when James Beckett CEO of Beckett whiskey needs a fake girlfriend, Scarlett is his choice. But not everything is as it seems with Scarlet. She has a hidden past, one that could be a major dealbreaker for their relationship. I truly enjoyed this book and the narrators, Shawn Masters as James and Avery Caris as Scarlett did an amazing job at bringing these characters and story to life. I look forward to the next installment of the Beckett Brothers series by LA Gallagher.

Great characters and story

I love me an Irish billionaire! Throw in a virgin educated stripper and a slow burn and Im hooked. James and Scarlett were extremely likeable from the start, the 50 shades overtures were a welcome surprise and it was overall a fun listen. Sean Masters excelled as James! Ready for the next Beckett brother!

James Beckett

Loved this book, great start to the series & also my first time listening to a book by LA Gallagher. Enough spice to keep you satisfied, but it’s not all that happens, there is actually a storyline & a good one at that. Thoroughly enjoyed it, was laughing out loud at times! Definitely worth the credit I spent on it. Can’t wait to listen to Book 2 of the series. I’m loving the Beckett brothers so far. 😉
