About this listen

A dating experiment ignites a secret attraction in this steamy new rom-com from number one New York Times best-selling author Lauren Blakely!

Eight years ago I fell into a secret summer fling with my best friend’s little sister before our lives went in different directions. Now, I’m the grumpy to Juliet’s sunshine on a popular dating podcast we host, and when a wealthy fan gives us a charming coastal cottage as the biggest thank you ever, we head to the town where I grew up to give it a makeover.

And find the house has only one bed.

Located under a mirrored ceiling.

To make matters even harder, the bright, big-hearted woman I’ve been pining for tells me she wants to try to find the one and would I please be her dating coach for the week?

Like hell I’ll let her date other men. I’ll coach her on three dates with me.

But the second I take her out, I don’t feel like her teacher. I feel like she’s mine, especially when the first night ends with us tangled up together in that bed.

Each night we grow closer, but this dating experiment forces me to face my greatest fear–whether a man like me is worthy of her love.

Even though I’m already head over heels for her.

Surprisingly fabulous!

It started out a bit same, same as many books in the genre but it didn’t take long for me to fall in love with the characters and become their biggest cheerleader. The chemistry is 🔥🥵 and the love story beautiful. My first Lauren Blakely read but definitely won’t be my last.

Loose story line for lots of steam

I mean I guess if you’re looking for steam then this is your book. The story line was really just thrown in there as a pause between scenes. Not terrible but needed more substance.

I had a dream about mirrors last night. So worth it.

So, I didn't know this was book 4 walking into this. this is my first taste of Lauren Blakely. I would recommend this book to my Mum. It's light, it's fluffy and is definitely an escape from reality (especially the introduction offering a happily ever after). Can't wait to read more!

The Accidental Dating Experiment

This book is a funny, and sweet and all the things a good romance book should be. No third act break up. It's just a wholesome spicy romance book. I look forward to reading more.

Deliciously predictable

It was exactly what I thought it would be. It’s been a nice journey though.

the lightness

It is quite funny, also it did not feel rushed of forced. I enjoyed it, I have had trouble enjoying romance books the last year and the lightness of this may me hopeful.

No plot arc

This was a disappointing read. It felt cheap. There was no real plot arc and the characters didn’t seem authentic. There was a lot of “telling” of actions and descriptions rather than “showing” of it through writing. The steamy scenes lacked build up and anticipation.. Not my kind of book but others may like it.
