About this listen

An irresistibly sexy, emotionally charged MM romance between a broody American and a charming Brit, from number one NYT best seller Lauren Blakely and performed with duet narration by Teddy Hamilton and Shane East!

Look, when I met the sexy, witty Brit on the streets of London last night, I had no idea who he was. He was just that hot guy I wanted to have a drink with, so I asked him out for my first evening in town. One thing almost led to another. After a midnight kiss, we made plans for a whole lot more the next day.

But when I unlock the door to my rental in the morning, the English hottie is lounging on the couch like he lives here too. Great. For the next year, I’ll be sharing a tiny flat with the sexiest guy I’ve ever known.

Time for a few simple rules—don’t walk around the flat wearing only a towel, don’t spend our nights together exploring London, and don’t crack open my secrets for him. Even as I smash all those rules, I try to resist falling for the cocky charmer. But after a taste of his lips, I give all the way in, telling myself one night, and we won’t fall in love.

Too bad in the morning, I discover that hiding my true feelings is the least of my worries, compared to a twist I never see coming.

Hopelessly Bromantic is the first novel in a scorching, emotional, hilarious, two-book epic romance that'll take you from London to New York, from Paris to Los Angeles, and back home. Performed with a full supporting cast including Vanessa Edwin, J. F. Harding, James Joseph, Faye Adele, Evan Parker, Shakira Shute, Robbie Martino, Blake Lockheart, Stephanie Németh-Parker, and Stella Hunter.

Love the narrators

This is a great story full of emotions with laughs, sadness, anger and love, that were felt at the heart. I love the way their minds work and it’s the great story about the one who got away and left on a cliff hanger.
The narrators were so good, and can we please ALWAYS make blooper reels a thing - so funny to hear them laughing and joking as they try and get through deeps moments together. They really bounce off each well. Looking forward to the next book and seeing where the story ends

Definitely a must listen!

Loved this story! Shane and Teddy are perfectly cast. The only thing that I would change is having to wait 4 weeks for the next book in the series!!

Absolutely loved this!

Hopelessly Bromantic is book one in the Hopelessly Bromantic Duet.

Shamless Flirt the prelude to this story was also included in the audiobook which was a great show of what was to come. Plus any excuse to listen to Teddy Hamilton and Shane East.

Lauren always the best audiobooks. Not only with some of my fave narrators but often with a full cast of narrators too. So truly goes above and beyond just a duet, which is definitely my favourite style followed by dual.

TJ was sent to London for a year on assignment as a journalist he couldn’t pass up the opportunity.
Jude is a sexy brit working in a bookstore whilst trying to build his acting career.

This story spans over 7 years. But don’t stress it’s not one of those ‘past and present’ back and forth types. It’s honestly fantastic how Lauren has brought this story together.
There is the perfect level of romance, steam and angst with a medium level of burn.

The inner monologues in this book are hilarious. Blakely has a great knack for wit and sarcasm an it shines through in this series.

That cliffhanger has me desperate for the ending. I’m invested now, I need to know what’s going to happen!

The blooper reel moments on the audiobook with Teddy and Shane is absolutely hilarious. These are definitely among two of my faves but the reel had me in stitches laughing. Once one of them started laughing I was absolutely done for.
If you’re unsure on narrators these two are absolutely top tier and I would listen to them narrate a shopping list!

Captivating story / audiobook .

What a beautiful alluring story .


Hopelessly Bromantic is book one of the Hopelessly Bromantic duet..
The journey of TJ and Jude is absolutely captivating.
While walking along a street in London , they pause , together they feel a strong spark ignite between them.
One downcast American, one alluring Brit , together they are easily sexually aroused by each other..
So much passion between them ,added with wonderful banter it’s a book I couldn’t stop reading..
Then life get in the way , promotion , moving away , time stretches……into ……a very long time ..
Roll on book two!
Perfect narration … absolutely perfect.

Great listen.

Really enjoyed this and intend to listen to the concluding instalment.
Narrators were excellent and it flows well.
Only slight misgivings were that some sex scenes were unnecessarily long. I found it a little hard to get into initially but it didn't last long.. don't let those comments put you off. A great M-M romance with great connections and chemistry between the main characters.

Overall it’s excellent

The writing and the narration are top notch (see what I did there). The characters of TJ and Jude are both loveable and frustrating. They are beautifully addictive and Blakely is a master writer indeed.The likelihood of a few things gnawed at me through the read - like how they met for real at the flat and the 7 year gap in the story.

The narrators are really great. Teddy Hamilton was brilliant as TJ. Shane East’s dulcet and sexy tone was great, although made Jude sound older than he was. Brilliant work from the two of them.

The story is fast paced and totally addictive. I look forward to part 2 to see and hope these dudes get the act together.

Love this!

Some of my favourite narrators involved and perfect as always!
Loved the angst and timespan after all the cheesy fun they have. Also any book set in london will get my attention.
Just adore their story and diving straight into book 2!
