About this listen

True love begins with a terrible ex in this steamy rom-com by USA Today best-selling author Mia Sosa.

Meet Vanessa Cordero. A cynic with a colorful past. You see, in college, Vanessa devised a profitable side gig: For a reasonable fee, she’d date your latest crush...and make his life miserable. Too clingy? Check. Jealous? Check. A mother's worst nightmare? Check, check, check. By the time Vanessa was done with him, your guy would be ready for...YOU.

Meet Jason Torres. A certified commitment-phobe. Jason doesn't plan on getting married anytime soon (if ever), much to his mother’s dismay. What he needs is a temporary girlfriend. A totally inappropriate girlfriend. Someone his mother will hate. So she'll abandon her hopes of getting Jason to the altar—for a while at least.

Enter Lisa, Vanessa's younger sister. She's got her eye on Jason and convinces Vanessa to come out of retirement for one last starter ex engagement. The rules are simple: no touching, no fooling around, and definitely no falling in love. But nothing's going according to plan. Because Vanessa can't ditch Jason no matter how hard she tries. And the longer these two are around each other, the more neither of them wants to be apart.

I thought I knew where this story was going, then it took a slight swerve and that made it more interesting!
Lisa enlists her older sister Vanessa, to win over the love of her life Jason, by Vanessa going out with him and pretending to be an awful girlfriend, thus pushing him to Lisa. A ridiculous idea, but Vanessa had a side hustle doing that exact thing during her college years. What could possibly go wrong? 🤔😆

Brilliant storytelling and narration. Enjoyed this thoroughly ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really enjoyed getting to know the characters. I feel like this is a simple story but my investment into the characters really had me into it and rooting for my couple to figure things out. This is my first audio book and It was run. I'll definitely check for more from this author

It was just meh!! I’m so glad that I wasn’t wasted a credit on this title?!! Also, I didn’t vibe with the narrators. I had to speed up the audio more than normal to get through it.

Not great
