About this listen

The ultimate enemies-to-lovers, fake dating summer romance from MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER Portia MacIntosh.

Lara and Sonny are sworn enemies.

As rival showbiz journalists, they are always out to get one-up on each other – whether being the first to scoop the latest celebrity gossip, or sabotaging a potential lead.

So when their bosses ask them to join forces and go undercover at an exclusive celebrity retreat, they can’t think of anything worse - except that they are going to need to pretend to be in couples therapy to blend in...

Being on a tropical island for work would be most people’s idea of heaven, but for Lara and Sonny it’s hell. Can a week of sun, sea and uncovering showbiz secrets together chip away at Lara and Sonny’s rivalry? And once they get home and the fake relationship is over, could a real one be left in its place?

MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER Portia MacIntosh's laugh-out-loud romantic comedies are guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Fantastic Listen 4 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Portia Macintosh never let's us down with her Romcoms, I love them.

There is a very thin line between love and hate, that's what has been happening with Lara & Sonny in this funny novel about them as journalists posing together as a "Troubled couple" on the island of Eden ~ and that is as much as I am saying😂

It is pure escapism and that is why I enjoy it.
Karen Cass does a wonderful job at narrating and always deserves 5 STARS

This was worth the credit and I completely recommend this listen 🌠

Fun story

I thought this would be totally predictable….but it didn’t evolve quite as I expected.
I was at times a bit far fetched, but still a fun listen

This book needs to be a movie Portia!!!

I have listened to most of Portia's collection (I'm getting through quickly), and I love each book more than the last, it does take me a bit of time to get to know the characters however. But this one is different.. there's something about this story that makes me not want to stop.
I can picture this as a film and it needs to happen! I absolutely love the realistic feel of the rivalry between Sonny and Lara, and the idea of them put together on an island with celebrities, pretending to be a couple themselves. It's genius, heartwarming and exciting.
Also want to say how much I love Karen Cass' narration of every story. I think the risk of not liking the narrator really puts me off listening to new books, but knowing I will enjoy it makes me feel comforted. She's got such a warm yet expressive voice and gives the characters such depth.

Really Enjoyed This

Well, that was a cute easy listen. I don't want to spoil anything but it was a nice change of pace for me (a dark romance girlie), almost like a palate cleanse. Very enjoyable x

A 'will they, won't they' romance with a kick.

Join Lara and Sonny on their work trip with a difference. As both fight to keep their careers from failing, this duo join a couples retreat in the middle of 'who knows where' because they certainly don't! Blindfolded from the get-go and without any of today's technology to guide them, they must report all the gossip about the celebrities they meet back to their bosses at their separate journalist jobs.

Sonny is fiercely ambitious, and Lara has second thoughts about everything, to be frank.

I thoroughly enjoyed the banter between this likeable couple, and I would thoroughly recommend buying this book.
