By: Ella Slade

Narrated by: Meghan Kelly

Length: 4 hrs and 27 mins

Publisher's summary

No matter where she looks, Jasmine Molina's life is hard: her mother passed away, her brother is fighting overseas, and all she has left in the world is a drunken gambling addict for a father, a man who steals her hard-earned tips every time there's a "sure thing" at the track. Behind in her tuition payments and the utility bills, the last thing Jasmine needs is a spoiled-brat rich kid making her life miserable.

Gage Kingsley and his gang of snotty fraternity brothers have painted a target on Jasmine's back, and they take special delight in picking on her daily. But when they show up at her house in the middle of the night to collect an overdue loan from her father, Gage and Jasmine's worlds truly collide.

There's only one way out...accept Gage's offer of marriage, or watch her father die.

I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone of my friends

Story with much more potential

Any additional comments?

I listened to the audio book of HITCHED TO THE HEIR. While I loved how the narrator brought Jasmine and Gage to live. Loved their voices, the intonation – everything. But outside of the dialogue…? I found the narration exhausting at least. There was this terrible up and down in her voice like she was simply rattling it off to be over and done with it. I found myself constantly rolling my eyes – like I said, it was a bit exhausting.

The plot intrigued my from the very beginning, because I absolutely love a good blackmail story. But somehow the execution fell a bit too short, the book over too soon. Gage was the type of bad boy your momma warned you about. A hot, domineering, take-no-bullsxxx alpha male. He really did bully poor Jasmine a lot, even if it was only something childish like throwing paper balls at her.
Then he turns out to be her father’s bookie – which was hardly believable after witnessing his behavior in college. Somehow these two personalities did not mix. And then he blackmails HER into marrying him because of HER FATHER’S debt…? Seemed hardly fair to me, especially because this action seemed kind of drastic for such a comparably small amount of money that was owed.

After that, everything even seemed more rushed, but then came the epilogue, which I really adored.

That being said, I enjoyed the story, but it had so much more potential.

Hitched to the Heir

This was a cute rags to riches story. And Gage seems to be able to talk her into almost anything. The mother in law is the typical nightmare. But all things seem to work out! Fun listen.

Jasmine and Cage

This is my first book by Ella Slade and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Hopefully more of her work will be on Audible. The characters were likeable. Meghan Kelly did a very good job with the narration. I received this free copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Steamy!

There were moments I was shocked and there were moments I thought his was steamy but still I enjoyed listening to this. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Cute but Unrealistic

Ella Slade is a new author to me. Her story was cute, but unrealistic. It was a very nice listen and the narrator did a fantastic job. I found this story a fun diversion from life. The premise for the story is somewhat "Cinderella" and insta-love. There were some unexpected twists in this book which I enjoyed. I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher, and/or narrator. My review for 4 stars overall is because I found the story unrealistic, not because it wasn't enjoyable.

Unbelievable From Beginning

Would you try another book from Ella Slade and/or Meghan Kelly?

Yes to Meghan Kelly, not so much to Ella Slade

Would you be willing to try another book from Ella Slade? Why or why not?

I am not sure. I did not get anything from this one. I always give each book that I listen to a chance.

Have you listened to any of Meghan Kelly’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have listened and this one is about the same.

Do you think Hitched to the Heir needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No. it needs a complete rewrite.

Any additional comments?

I got this book via audiobook boom. This book was unbelievable from beginning to end. You know your father will steal and you come home and just lay your money on the dresser in plain sight. then you sleep with someone that you hate just because. So many other things that just did not make the story even remotely believable.

Great Audio!

Great book~ I thought the writing was great~ The Narration and production was fabulous! The story was great once you got over being blackmailed into marriage~ It really didn't bother me as I loved seeing the love blossom between the two. Whether it started out fake or not- the love in the end was real. I thought it was great and would gladly read more from this author. As for narration, I am a big fan of Meghan Kelly's work. Production value is always high. She has an amazing voice and really does the books justice with the feeling she puts into her readings. Great job all around.

Just ok for me.

I didn't feel that the story had enough character building. The heroine gives in too easily to his sexual demands. But I have to say it was just okay. This wasn't the best love story that I have read, but it held my interest until the end

Although I liked the book...I thought that it was slow in places, that the characters were not "real" someone would not just fall on top of someone they hate as quickly as she did. Although I know its just a story, it wasn't realistic at all. :( What happened with Gage's mom? Did she accept the baby in the end? How about her father & brother, how did they feel about her naming the baby after her mother?
