About this listen

Amazon #5 bestseller

He’s my brother’s best friend
My fake husband...
And doesn’t believe in love


Nathan Davenport, CEO of the Davenport empire is my complete opposite.
He hates chocolate. I’m a size sixteen dessert chef.
He only wears black. I love glitter and pink.
He’s grumpy, while I look on the brighter side of life.
Too bad his piercing eyes, and high cheekbones haunt my dreams.

When he offers to loan me the money to save my bakery.
I have no choice but to agree.
Except he has conditions:

I must pretend to be his wife for a year
I must fake my feelings for him so his family believes our relationship.
I must stay by his side for the duration of our arrangement so he can claim his inheritance.

I don’t even like the man, surely I can get through this charade without developing feelings for him?
Except living in close proximity with him, our chemistry escalates
I know I am falling for the wrong man.
For when I tell him: “I love you,” he growls: “Love was never part of the equation...”

This is an opposites attract, forced proximity, one-bed, marriage of convenience, and a brother's best friend, billionaire romance with a plus size FMC. It is a complete standalone.

What an amazing storyline

Woah! What a twist! I did not see that coming. What a great talent L.Steele is, this book is beautiful, wonderful and brilliant. A fantastic performance from both narrators.

Brother's Best Friend - Marriage of Convenience

The Unwanted Wife by L. Steele is a brother's best friend marriage of convenience romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Shane East and Roxy Isles. This is the first book in The Davenports series.

This is the first book of L. Steele's that I have read, and it won't be my last. I was hooked from the very beginning and couldn't to see how it would all play out. I really enjoyed the relationship between Nathan and Skylar. I loved that we got both of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

I look forward to jumping into the next book in the series The Imperfect Marriage so I can get Quentin and Vivian's story.

Shane and Roxy did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you're looking for a brother's best friend romance, marriage of convenience romance, or a billionaire romance.

Brilliant Listen

I loved this story. This is Skylar and Nathan's story. Skylar is a wonderful character with a naughty sense of humor. and a wonderful baker Nathan has trauma in his past and with Skylar's help and love the work together to build a future together. I am off to read the next book.
The narration is excellent.

I liked it

but it was not the authors best book. It was nice to be back in the same universe as many of her other books, it was like a random meeting with an old friend after a long time.
If you want something fun, spicy and romantic this is a good choice!

Nathan & Skylar

Wow did not see that twist coming. Good story as ever from L Steele with fantastic narrators.
Didn't like the American language used for English characters set in England (sidewalk not pavement, elevator not lift, etc) I suppose it reaches out to a larger audience though

WIFE

I enjoyed the dual narration of Shane East and Roxy Isles

Willow owns a bakery and it is struggling. Nathan her brothers best friend reappears after years in the military. He offers her help but in return she is to his wife.
Skylar is bright and full of light, Nathan is grumpy. For the sake of saving her business, she will pretend to be his wife. But it was never really pretending in the first place. Since she was young Willow has been in love with Nathan.
