Book description
Picture this: You're fired, your career just went up in flames like a poorly timed campfire, and someone accidentally tells your boss you're pregnant (we'll just say "unexpectedly expecting" for now, because life is weird). Then your boss's boss demands you bring a fiancée to dinner. Enter Adrian, investment banker extraordinaire, who instantly regrets inventing a fake fiancée to impress his CEO. Enter Rowena, software engineer whose entire life just imploded. Their meet-cute? A mutual disaster zone where Adrian drops to one knee to "propose" to Rowena just to save his job, and she says yes because, honestly, what's the downside? (Besides the fact they'll have to share a single bed during their "fake engagement" and accidentally start caring about each other's weird hobbies.)
Camilla Isley's If the Ring Fits is the audiobook equivalent of laughing so hard you snort coffee out your nose. The narrator's voice? Pure comedic gold-Adrian's panic is delivered with the urgency of someone realizing their fake fiancée is now texting him about her "real" life, while Rowena's dry wit cuts through the chaos like a sharp knife (or a perfectly timed meme). You'll hear the thud of Adrian's heart when he says "I do" to Rowena's unemployment, and the sigh of relief when she finally admits she's not actually expecting anything but a better job. The rules are simple: pretend to be madly in love, keep your real lives separate, and absolutely, positively do NOT catch feelings. Spoiler: They catch feelings like it's a free buffet. And oh, the bed-sharing! One bed, zero personal space, and suddenly "just business" feels suspiciously like "oh god, I think I like this person."
The praise from fellow authors? Spot-on. Laura Carter called it "billionaire and so is she!"-which is the funniest, most accurate line ever, because Adrian's a multi-millionaire and Rowena's a STEM queen who could probably code a better fake relationship. Sandy Barker nailed it: "Sexy, funny, romantic and heartfelt." And Phoebe MacLeod? "Fast-paced, entertaining will-they-won't-they." Yes. It's like watching two people try to navigate a minefield while wearing roller skates-except the minefield is their own terrible life choices, and the roller skates are their mutual attraction.
This isn't just a rom-com; it's a love letter to the idea that sometimes the worst day of your life is just the setup for the best mistake you'll ever make. You'll laugh until you cry, then cry-laugh because Adrian's trying to explain why he "invented" a fiancée, and Rowena's like, "Yeah, and I invented a life where I don't have to talk to my mom about my career choices." The audiobook version? Pure magic. You'll be nodding along, whispering "YES, THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I FEEL," and wondering if your own life could be this delightfully chaotic. So put on your headphones, press play, and prepare to fall for a fake engagement that's so real, it might just be the real deal. (And hey, if you're ever unemployed and pregnant, just fake a fiancé. It's basically a career move now.)
