Friends to lovers for the win!

Made me smile just as much as the guy on the cover.
Friends to lovers is always one of my favourites!
Add in the brother's best friend angle and we have a book that was a lot of fun, with clever, witty banter and steamy hot sexy scenes.
The narrators were perfectly cast and a joy to listen to.

A true feel good romance

Sometimes you just need a good old fashioned romance, and guess what? Lauren Blakey has nailed it with this fun, friends to lovers, angst free, sexy read. When Crosby Cash (sexy baseball player extraordinaire), swears off relationships and women, his best friends back him up 100%. That was before he realised that maybe his best friend’s sister, Nadia Harlow (who just so happens to be the owner of a pro football team), just might be interested in ‘more’ with him. Nadia and Crosby are just perfect together, they’re sweet, they’re funny, and they’re combustible in the bedroom (FYI, not just the bedroom). Most of Lauren Blakely’s books are interconnecting standalones, so if you’re a hardened fan like myself, you’ll recognise more than a few characters in this book, even though this is the start of a brand new series. The audio version, narrated perfectly by Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon, with an added bonus of James Joseph narrating an epilogue, and of course Lauren leaves us wanting for more when she gives us a couple of sneak peaks of her future audios, which of course, always have my most favourite narrators. Not surprisingly I loved it all, totally enjoyable, and totally addictive.

A great lighthearted listen

I really enjoyed this book. There was a moment or two that had me scratching my head and running to my girls to ask about their thoughts but overall it was a really enjoyable story that was sweet and easy to listen to. I loved that the conflict was minimal. It is one of those books that you can listen to in a day when you want something lighthearted to entertain you. The characters were made for one another and their banter was pure perfection.


The narration was spot on. Erin Mallon and Teddy Hamilton were perfectly cast for this audiobook. They really gave these characters life. The production was great with no issues.
There is a bonus epilogue for one of the characters, performed by James Joseph, and I think anyone that loves the British accent will be asking for more. It was a cute epilogue, and I’d have liked to have had a little more of Matthew’s story. Just because I find him intriguing and wanted more.

You also get a little taste of future books, and it was fun to hear what is coming next for the side characters that have their own stories coming soon.

I REALLY wanted to like this book...

...but I'm sorry I just couldn't, it's predictable, forced with surprising little going on, such a shame because I normally love Lauren Blakely books, but sorry this one is a miss big time

Predictable

A bit too bland and predictable. Cringey at times from repetitive phrases. Wouldn't recommend.
