Make a Scene

Written by Mimi Grace

Narrated by Adenrele Ojo and Emmanuel Ingram

Faking this relationship should be a piece of cake. 

Retta Majors is having a bad day. But that’s to be expected when your ex gets engaged to your cousin. Instead of (totally) freaking out, Retta decides to attend the wedding with her amazing, faithful, and handsome boyfriend.

One problem.  

He doesn’t exist.

Duncan Gilmore is living his dream. His boxing gym is open for business, and he’s focused on success. The last thing on his mind is a relationship. That is until the beautiful baker next door makes him an offer so bizarre, he can’t refuse. One weekend of pretending to be Retta’s boyfriend should be easy.

However, shared kisses and some flirting start to blur the lines in their fake relationship. When their performance draws to a close, will they go their separate ways or return for an encore?

This book was really cute. I loved how they were drawn to each other and didn't try too hard to fight it. I can't wait to start the next book.

Nothing life-changing, it was fun and an easy palette cleanser after the brain rot of Fourth Wing.

[Tam · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Short sweet and to the point. I loved it from beginning to end! I will be waiting for the next book. 10/10

[Hermine · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Fun relaxing read and great story. Although I could guess the ending, I still enjoyed the ride with this one.

[V Shep · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This was a fun little romance to read with likable characters.

[niquemone01 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I liked the fact that both characters were on the same page as each other internally.

[Manee Jacob · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The book was really good but the female narrator was weird. The guys voice was cool! He could have read the whole book! Once again the book was good

[Taylor Abrams · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Such a fun read! Of course, I had a strong feeling of how the story would end but it was a delightful journey getting there.

This is such a sweet yet funny book. And just to think, it all started with a parking space.

[Lover of all tropes · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

If you like/prefer fluffier romances, this will definitely be your jam! If you prefer more conflict and angst, you might get bored on occasion. It’s a cute fake dating romance but it sadly left me wanting more. Good narration though!

So cute! Loved it! I couldn’t even take a pause.

[Mississippi Diamond · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

First title from Mimi Grace and this book was so cute. Grace did a good job of telling the characters’ stories and it left me wanting to find out how their HEA was going to unfold.

Narrators did a solid job with Retta and Duncan. Will definitely check out more from all the artists’ catalogs.

I enjoyed this story and the narration by a favorite of mine, Adenrele Ojo, and Emmanuel Ingram.

[Ebony Wallace · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

When I read the synopsis and then saw who the narrator was I knew I would like this story and it didn’t disappoint. Great listen!

[Karen The Reader · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Fake dating is not my favorite trope, but the writing was good. I would give this three and a half stars.

[ANya Hester · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I really enjoyed it! Was a light read and a breath of fresh air.

[Ezinwanyi1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A really cute fake romance story. Not too much angst but definitely two people who had baggage trying to get over their fear of rejection and take that plunge for love. I love a man who can cook so he was a winner for me.

[Diamond Jones · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I loved the banter between Retta and Duncan. This book was so good.

[Kierra Bennett · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This was a cute story! Great take on fake dating to real dating. I loved the sunrise scene?️

[Janelle Moody · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A sweet treat for the heart. Plus 2 of my fave narrators.

[Karla Petrova · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This was such a fun, light-hearted book! The characters were so lovable and funny. I thought the ending wrapped up too quickly and I feel like we deserved an epilogue but other than that, this was the sweetest book ever! Criminally underrated!

[MarHasHobbies · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Almost DNF it after second spicy scene but I was more than half way done so why not but the book isn't bad or good it's that book that you know you read but can't remember what was it about or one character so it's like 1.5/5

[Eulannae Douglas · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Cute and lighthearted book. I think they missed an opening to really dig deep into Duncan’s background and how his parents marriage played a part in him being how he was but nonetheless I enjoyed the book.

[Camilia Kinnie · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

It was s cute read. I didnt like how it ended, it was rushed. But it was a cute and light romcom. The narration was great.

[Bella Garcia · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I really loved this story! Retta was very relatable and the voice actor for Duncan during the steamy parts ?‍?. Great listen!

[Victoria J · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]
