About this listen
From USA Today and #1 Amazon Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes an Enemies to Lovers, Fake Dating, Sports Romance.
Killian St. James was the boy I loved. Now he’s the man I love to hate.
To the world, I’m America’s sweetheart. A brand built on fairy tales and love songs that sell millions. But the truth? I’m not sure I believe in happily ever afters . . . At least not for me.
Burned-out and desperate for a break, I return to my hometown, craving quiet and a tiny taste of freedom. But instead of peace, I find a stalker in the shadows, paparazzi on my heels, and a meddling family with their own ideas about my life.
Everyone insists I need protection, and having my new bodyguard pose as my fake boyfriend makes total sense . . . Not that they asked me. If that’s not enough, did I mention that Killian is all too happy to volunteer for the job?
This MMA champion is brooding, relentless, and inconveniently perfect at keeping me safe. He’s also unimaginably gorgeous, with a quiet confidence that’s even sexier than the ink tattooed on his golden skin.
But as lines blur and sparks fly, I’m left wondering if the boy I once loved could be the man I can trust with my life . . . and my heart.

Killian and Lilah are perfect together.
This story is one of my favourites by Bella Matthews. I enjoyed listening to the narrators and felt like they represented the characters well.

Great performance!
I loved this book so much I had to get the Audiobook.
Aiden for Killian was a brilliant choice, his dark timber voice was excellent for the MMA fighter and Desiree was a chosen choice for our outspoken pop star lilah.
The emotion these two pored into the performance was magical!
Another fantastic story by Bella Matthew’s.

My favourite audiobook in the series to date
The Red Lips and White Lies series continues with Captivating as pop princess Lilah Ryan, a Taylor Swiftesque heroine……although Travis isn’t a patch on our K!ller - returned home to Kroyden Hills after her world tour was cut short due to a st@lker, the last person she wanted to see was MMA champion Killian St James let alone spend any time with him but with her family on her back about protection she somehow ends up with him moving in with her.
Captivating was a tale of three tropes with a bit of a mystery thrown in. On Lilah’s side its hate to love but what happened between the teenage Lilah and Killian to make her hate him so much? Their friends and family don’t know anything, and readers are kept hanging for most of the book as Lilah refuses to discuss it while for Killian it’s a second chance romance giving him the chance to finally be with the woman he’s loved since they were in high school. The third trope was fake dating with Killian playing the part of her boyfriend even though he didn’t waste anytime getting up close and personal. He’s a dirty talker when he wants to be leading to some wickedly delicious banter between them and some sizzling chemistry but with the st@lker lurking in the background just waiting for their chance, danger is never far away. As usual there was a large cast of secondary characters consisting of friends and family all ready to chip in with their views and opinions including some intriguing new ones who up until now were just names on a family tree, but which hopefully means a lot more visits to Kroyden Hills.
Aiden Snow and Desiree Ketchum both produced wonderful performances as Killian and Lilah. The dynamics, the badinage and sparring between these two characters as they swung from near lovers before swinging back to frenemies as Lilah remembered the reason why she didn’t like Killian was perfectly portrayed by Aiden and Desiree and it was easy to catch the building tension in their voices the longer this went on. And with the voice of the Kroyden Kronicles once again provided by Ava Erickson, this was surely my favourite audiobook from Bella Matthews to date.
