THE FIANCEE FARCE

Lauren Sweet's dynamic narration highlights this sapphic rom-com. Tansy lied to her family about being in a relationship with Gemma in order to get space from them. The truth? She's never even met Gemma, who's got her own problem: She needs to be married within a couple of months to inherit her family's newspaper business. The perfect opportunity for a fake betrothal presents itself when the two women run into each other. Then they find they have a lot in common, and real feelings develop. But with so much at stake, does the relationship have a chance? Sultry whispers contrast with hate-fueled insults. Snippets of overheard conversation in various pitches from rapt wedding guests showcase Sweet's range. A.L.C. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2023]
