Asher

Written by Louisa Masters

Narrated by Joel Leslie

When your imaginary boyfriend turns up in your hometown, marriage is the only option.

I’m not anti-relationship, but my life is good right now, and love is not a priority. Too bad my grandmother disagrees. People say she’s scary, and sure, some of her enemies went missing under mysterious circumstances, but she loves me and wants the best for me… which, right now, is marriage. The matchmaking is a lot, and she’s not letting up. What’s a demon to do except invent a long-distance boyfriend?

That backfires hard when the one-night stand I based my fake boyfriend on arrives in our tiny village. Garrett’s here to help our cut-off town assimilate with the rest of the Community of Species. He’s not expecting to find he has a boyfriend he knew nothing about.

It doesn’t take me long to convince him to agree to my new plan. I need the matchmaking to stop; he needs our insular little community to accept and trust him. The perfect solution: marriage. A business agreement with a time limit.

Just business.

Until he demands more. A sexy, nerdy hellhound in my bed isn’t a deal breaker.

But as we get closer to our end date, it gets harder for me to imagine life without him. And when my little cousin goes missing, it’s Garrett who saves the day… and reveals secrets the village didn’t know we had.

Louisa Masters

Louisa Masters started reading romance much earlier than her mother thought she should. While other teenagers were sneaking out of the house, Louisa was sneaking romance novels in and working out how to read them without being discovered. She’s spent most of her life feeling sorry for people who don’t read, convinced that books are the solution to every problem. As an adult, she feeds her addiction in every spare second, only occasionally tearing herself away to do things like answer the phone and pay bills. She spent years trying to build a “sensible” career, working in bookstores, recruitment, resource management, administration, and as a travel agent, before finally conceding defeat and devoting herself to the world of romance novels. Louisa has a long list of places first discovered in books that she wants to visit, and every so often she overcomes her loathing of jet lag and takes a trip that charges her imagination. She lives in Melbourne, Australia, where she whines about the weather for most of the year while secretly admitting she’ll probably never move.

Reviews for Asher

[Amy · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I love the ever expanding world Louisa has created! The characters are fabulous and I fell in love with them both. I like how historical characters from previous books are part of the storyline and the sex is fabulous! Thanks so much

Another great story by Louisa Masters and narration by Joel Leslie (a man of many many MANY accents!). The story will probably make more sense and be funnier if you listen to/read her previous books, a task you won't regret. I love the never ending creativity to L. Master's stories. The romance part puts 2 unlikely characters together but then is relatively predictable. This heart-warming story is, however, superimposed on another unique storyline that will be continued in future books (I dearly hope!). Dragons, demons, hellhounds, and children : what could possibly go wrong.?!

It was quite good and I liked the characters!
The only thing is that the last third or so of the book kind of threw me for a loop because the story turned into a "rescue-mission-turned-discovery-of-a-very-old-dragon's-hoard" while the rest of the book was more a "fake-boyfriends-turned-into-marriage-of-convenience-husbands-rom-com".
