About this audiobook
A struggling event planner and a sinfully hot astronaut must decide if their fake relationship is worth a shot at happily-ever-after, in this starry debut.
Risk-averse event planner Amerie Price is jobless, newly single, and about to lose her apartment. With no choice but to gamble on her shaky start-up, the last thing she needed was to run into her smug ex and his new, less complicated girlfriend at Amerie's favorite coffee shop. Panicked, she pretends to be dating the annoyingly sexy man she met by spilling Americano all over his abs. He plays alongâfor a price.
Half the single men in Houston claim to be astronauts, but Vincent Rogers turns out to be the real deal. What started as a one-off lie morphs into a plan: for the three months leading up to his mission, Amerie will play Vincent's doting partner in front of his loving but overly invested family. In exchange, she gets a rent-free room in his house and can put every penny toward her struggling business.
What Amerie doesn't plan for is Vincent's gravitational pull. While her mind tells her a future with this astronaut is too unpredictable, her heart says he's exactly what she needs. As their time together counts down, Amerie must decide if she'll settle for the safe lifeâor shoot for the stars.

***Spoiler*** I listened to "The Kiss Countdown" by Etta Easton, Narrated by Angel Pean via Audiobook. I love when fake engagements turn into real love. I laughed when Amerie Price and Vincent Rogers "fake" relationship started in a coffee shop to make Amerie's old boyfriend, Derek jealous. Both Amerie and Vincent have strengths and flaws. Amerie's flaws is she is scared of losing her Mother, who has Sickle Cell Anemia. Amerie's fear has stopped her from living. Vincent flaws is his grief & trying to make his brother proud. They both didn't realize they needed each other to help ease their flaws into strengths. I love both Amerie and Vincent family. I'm glad Vincent's Mom stopped pushing him away and finally got on board with Vincent being an astronaut. I loved Amerie & Gina's saying "You know you are the queen to my bee." đđ Things I wishes the book covered: - How Amerie's Mom learned about the fake proposal. - I wish the Epilogue stated how Amerie's business was doing.
