About this listen

I hate Ripley Brewer.

So, why am I cuddling on his lap, peering into his ocean-blue eyes while cameras record our every move?

My best friend needs my help to save her career, and I would do anything for her. Besides, filming a reality show sounds fun … until Ripley shows up to play the role of my fake boyfriend.

As always, we nearly come to blows within minutes of seeing each other. The playboy billionaire accuses me of a setup, but I insist I’d rather live in a world without carbs than spend a minute with him.

At some point during the melee, we sign contracts. I can’t stand the look of his six feet two inches of chiseled abs and broad shoulders. And I loathe his arrogance. But now that he’s my pretend beau, I’m stuck acting like I’m falling in love with my biggest enemy.

It turns out that Ripley’s a good actor, too. Every soft touch on the small of my back makes my heart thump faster. His sultry smirk feels like it’s only for me. I should detest every word that passes his kissable lips.

Is this all a ruse, or does Ripley want to end this episode of The Invitation going from enemies to lovers? Because now? I’m not convinced I can despise him anymore.

Stand alone in series, forced proximity

The Invitation is the third book in the Brewer Family series. It can be read as a stand alone, but I do think it adds a little to the background for the story if you've read the prior books in the series first. The events of this story are entirely separate, so it's not required.

Ripley and Georgia begin the book at odd with each other, and we quickly find out that it's due to some misunderstandings on both their parts many years ago. The way the characters treated each other at the beginning made them seem immature, and I like that there was a lot of self-discovery and making conscious efforts to change for both Ripley and Georgia. I thought that the way the ending resolved was meaningful and unique, and I appreciate when characters resolve issues with communication.

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Jason Clarke and new-to-me Lexi Maynard. Lexi Maynard did well, and I thought it was an exceptional performance by Jason Clarke. He consistently does an excellent job making various character voices sound unique, and the delivery of the dialogue really conveyed the feelings behind the words (a bitter laugh, talking faster with excitement, etc.). The narration was really well done.

I received a copy of this audiobook at my request, and the opinions here are my own.

“I’m sitting here right now hoping that it rains forever. Because if we walk out of here and I never get to experience this again. I want as many memories with you as I can get” Ripley and Georgia had been enemies since they met their senior year of High School. Ten years after, they are going to film a reality show where they fall in love. What’s going to happen when every time they are together they can’t help but fight each other? The audiobook is great. Lexi Maynard and Jason Clarke make an excellent job with all the feelings, banter and emotional moments in the story. Chapter nineteen, with an amazing Jason Clarke, is one of the best moments I’ve ever listened to.
