About this listen

The grumpy billionaire accuses me of stealing, has me fired, and now wants me to be his temporary wife. I think he's lost his mind.

Easton Calloway needs a wifey, pronto, and he chooses me to temporarily fill the position. While I want to tell him to eff off, I can't walk away from the temptation. So, I do what any broke actress living in New York City would do, and I agree to the terms and conditions.

It should be easy: a year of marriage, a cushy penthouse in the city, and a spending allowance. After three hundred sixty-five days, I'll receive divorce papers and a check in the mail. All I have to do is pretend we're happily married without falling in love.

Doable, right? Wrong.

The Wife Situation is a billionaire, age gap, marriage of convenience romance with a happily ever after! Its a stand-alone with open-door scenes. Included: a rich AF hero who's a professional on the streets, but a bad boy in the sheets and isn't afraid to call his little heartbreaker my wife.

"Love is always on time."


So, fake marriage/dating is by far my favourite trope and this whole story revolves around Easton's inheritance being tied behind a marriage requirement set by his grandfather. Some drama throws our two MCs together and of course the solution to their problems is a fake marriage that quickly becomes real!


I fell in love with Our MMC, Easton. He brings all of the neurospicy reliability as he is a reserved introvert with all the childhood trauma that can come from parents that don't understand why your brain works a little differently.


I always love to see strong, supportive female relationships in books, and Lyra doesn't disappoint.


Easton has an identical twin brother who adores to mess with his brother by dressing the same as Easton. The twinning is cute, but causes trouble when there are mistaken identities!


MMC has a mouth that will make you swoon and melt, he delivers absolute scorching lines one moment and the next the sweetest sentiments.


"I’m not reckless, but I’m willingly risking it all for a chance with this woman."


I also loved the cast of side characters, and I kind of need Brody to get his own book, something about him really drew me in.


A millennial billionaire MMC making emo references made me realise that there are scene kids becoming CEO's. I feel old....


This has a couple of twists even I didn't see coming! I love when I can't guess what's coming. Being neurospicy myself, my pattern recognition is top notch so I see twists coming a mile out.


This book had some kinda magic in it I swear, it just drew me in and kept me captive.

Loved the story and the narrators were fab!

I was lucky enough to win an audio code in a giveaway & I'm so glad I did because the audio was so fun! I had been meaning to read this one for so long and it was so good! These two were fun, spicy as hell. We got to go to Valentine & see some familiar cowboys & were introduced to a lot of interesting new characters. I'm excited for the rest of this series & to see who gets a book.

I'm so glad I finally got the chance to read this, and I'm really excited for the second book. I'm a sucker for friends to lovers and I love Easton's twin in this book, he is so fun. I'm excited to get to know him better.

Lyra Parish pens another fantastic romance novel, putting her own unique spin on the billionaire romance and marriage of convenience tropes. The story drew me right in, grabbing my attention and holding it captive the entire time. Lexi, a small town Texas girl, moved to NYC to pursue her acting dreams, but hasn’t landed a gig yet, so she is working in a luxurious hotel to make ends meet. Billionaire Easton Calloway leaves strict “no disturb” instructions whenever he stays at that hotel and Lexi knew this but, but he was not supposed to have checked in yet. Except that isn’t the reason she gets fired, it was worse, Easton accuses her of stealing his watch, which was not true, but she had it in her possession and Mr. Hothead did not give her a chance to explain. Easton realizes after that he overreacted, and he can not get her out of his head, but fate was not done with these two and he would run into her again. These two were great together and, for each other, despite coming from two different worlds and being opposites. She differed from all the women he met, stood her ground with him, and gave him a run for his money. Easton is interested in taking over the family’s corporate empire and when he learns about a marriage clause, he needs to find a wife, and his brother, Weston, steps in and suggests Lexi. I loved all the layers of this story, and how it all played out, with the perfect balance of drama, witty dialogue, charm, heartfelt emotions and a slow burn but worth the wait romance. The writing, plot and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. Lyra Parish, thank you for another fabulous story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 Amy Hall and Marcio Catalano were the perfect cast to bring these characters to life, and they did an amazing job portraying them, giving each a voice that was fitting and was believable in every role. Hall’s take on Lexi was spot-on, grasping every aspect of her personality and demeanor, from her sweetness to her sass. Catalano nailed it as Easton, showcasing his personality and demeanor perfectly, from his grumpy side to his caring side. Both were great performing the roles of the secondary characters, giving each their own unique voice, making it easy to follow along and tell who was who. These two set the perfect tone for the story, capture all the characters’ emotions, and have you feeling them all. They are entertaining storytellers and their performance elevates the already fabulous story to another level. Thank you for another fabulous listen.

Great Story, Characters & Narration🎧Enthralling & Delightful!

So fairly new to Lyra parish’s writing (found her in the cozy creek collection) Easton and lexi were briefly mentioned in it but this is their story and boy what a story. Billionaire, sparkles and a female lead who stays true to herself. Brilliant listen

Funny and spicy!

Review: 4.5⭐
Narrators: @amyhallnarrates @marciocatalano7

Amy Hall and Marcio Catalano do an amazing job bringing these characters and the story to life. The book starts with a misunderstanding around our FMC Lexi stealing our reclusive grumpy MC Easton's watch. This is a lovely healing romance for our 'anti love' Lexi. It was really refreshing to have a MMC who wants 'the one'. This book is filled with banter, spice and shenanigans from Easton's identical twin brother Weston. If you want a lovely marriage of convenience mixed with a sweet MMC and spice then this is for you

cute story with banter and spice
