New Audiobook Release Review: The Invitation by Adriana Locke

5 stars!

My review: I just finished the audiobook for The Invitation by Adriana Locke and it was SO GOOD! Narrators Jason Clarke and Lexi Maynard were perfectly cast as Ripley and Georgia and I enjoyed it so much. I am really loving the Brewer Family series - I just adore these Brewer men! Enemies to lovers is a trope I always enjoy, and setting this against the backdrop of a reality show made it even more fun. I appreciated that their enemies status began with a long ago miscommunication and was glad to see it reconciled so well. The banter was on point and there was such great chemistry- loved Georgia and Ripley together. And Ripley's dog Waffles was the cutest side charact ever!



Blurb:


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.
