Lips Like Sugar by Jess K. Hardy with Stephen Borne (Narrator), Andi Arndt (Narrator)

Cole Sanderson is used to strange women kissing him, he used to be a rock star after all. But he's not expecting the baker who is making his best friend's wedding cake to lay one on him. Nor is he expecting her to ask him to be her pretend boyfriend. 

Mira Harlow is desperate. Her ex is back in town with his perfect wife and she's in town with her son and her mother. So she kisses the next guy who walks in the door. And, the two know that they won't work. Cole is big city, always on the move; Mira is a homebody raising her teenager and helping her mother who is slowly descening into Alzheimers. 

I was frustrated by these characters because I felt like they felt like they were so in a rut of who they thought they were that they took a long time to crawl out of it.
