Awesome narration

First book for me by CD Reiss and OMG loved it especially with the audiobook by Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell.
This book is a classic fake marriage to inherit the company sort of this which I personally enjoy anyway but love that Logan is actually a nice guy mostly through the book but a workaholic and Ella comes from a clothing designer family and is a hippie free spirit type of person which is completely different personalities.
The book is fantastic but I think the story is made so much better by having two awesome narrators that made me not want to stop listening. Definitely gonna be checking out more CD Reiss.

A great read!

Logan and Ella are great characters who come together for mutual benefit, and have no intentions of falling for each other. But will that be true when their contract ends?
I love a marriage of convenience read, and Crowne Of Lies didn’t disappoint. Fab narrators too!

Better second and third time around

This is the best Crown story. Some parts are really heart wrenching. I leave a bit of time between each listen, but it never disappoints. The narrators do a great job of getting behind the personalities of the main characters.

Throughly enjoyed

I loved the first book in the Crowne Industries series and devoured this one too! Logan & Ella were great characters. Looking forward to more stories from the brothers.

Joe and Maxine were amazing as usual, they fit together so well in books.

This is a new author to me. WOW, I was hooked from the start on this story of Logan and Ella. both needed something so they turned to each other to get it. As they progress in their marriage, dynamics change. They seem to find what males themselves happy.

Joe Arden..WOW.. what can I say.. love his voice . amazing chararazations. I can never tire of hearing him . And the expletives so hot coming from him.
Maxine Mitchell another favorite narrator. she is so spot on..

It’s powerful and emotional and scorching hot

I thought it would be pure erotica, but it was so much more than that. There’s a real reflection about marriage and couples–how it works, what makes it work or not, the place of feelings and commitment. Through the main couple–who’s a fake one at first, marrying with a contract and barely knowing each other–but also through Logan’s parents, through Ella’s parents–and Ella’s father and her stepmother–and a tiny bit through Byron and his wife–Logan’s brother is the main character in the previous book of the series. They’re all different and offer various aspects of a marriage. All those examples show Ella and Logan that their relationship isn’t as doomed as they think it is.

This book is also about Ella and Logan growing as persons, learning who they are and what they want, again with the help of the people surrounding them–and each other too. Because they’re so different from each other, they have to meet in the middle, taming their extreme nature to find a more balanced one. It was fascinating to witness their journey through their thoughts and feelings.

The writing style helped. I loved how the author used words and sentences to convey their emotions. On top of that, the perfect narration gave soul to those very interesting characters.

I can’t recommend this book enough–it’s powerful and emotional and scorching hot, and so worth a read or listen.

A wonderful fake marriage romance

I’ve got to say I loved this audio, everything about it kept me engaged and I did not want to take those EarPods out of my ears. I loved Logan (sexy businessman), and Ella (free spirit). I loved their honesty going into the marriage contract and I loved their honesty in the bedroom, shame about their denial of a future, but isn’t that what always makes these books more exciting. Fake marriage, always an interesting genre, always enjoyable. They think they have nothing in common, at least they didn’t take sex off the table (they normally do), and that one thing, they both said would never happen, well it always does. Can’t fault the story, the writing or the narration. I loved it all. Joe Arden (always a favourite of mine), was complemented by Maxine Mitchell in this wonderful audio.
