Dealbreakers

Marina Spicer is thirty and falling behind on her self-imposed life schedule. Friends say she’s too picky, with a list of dating deal-breakers that includes smoking, swearing, and a host of other foibles, but Marina appreciates her high standards. With no time to waste, she uses her coding skills to create an app that sorts out the dismal dating pool, allowing women to rate and review the men they meet. Meanwhile, her professional life hits a snag when she finds that her promotion hinges on an assignment to review potential romantic locales with her nemesis. Through ax-throwing and escape rooms, their attraction grows, and Marina begins to believe that people can’t be assessed by an algorithm. Forsythe (The Fixer Upper) delivers a humorous, heartwarming contemporary romance, adding an engaging enemies-with-benefits twist to the traditional enemies-to-lovers trope. Narrator Fiona Hampton gives an enchanting performance of the sweet, sexy story, one sure to leave listeners smiling.
