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.

It was quick and the story did not drag along. There was just the right amount of character development and self awareness.

I loved that it was fast paced. The characters were not whinny which is something really off putting in romance novels. Their story had just the right amount of self awareness and quick decision making. It was not boring and the spice was original.

Another great read from Lauren

I really loved the flow of this book, it felt like from start to end everything happened at the perfect pace within the story. I didn't lose interest during any point and the character development felt legitimate. Loved the MMC so much in this one. Laurens books are always nice easy reads and never too lengthy.

Easy Listening

Started very well but became very predictable. Not great but not awful. Enjoy for free so you should too

Narration great, story a bit ho hum

It took me while to get into this. The story was also a bit ho hum and even repetitive,
I also had misgivings about some of the sexual content too. Firstly, I know some people like exploring role play and dressing up. Focusing on a school girl and professor fantasy felt in dubious taste when there's a lot of attention now globally on paedophile with underage girls. This sort of role play actually re-enacts that.
Also, reverse cowgirl position has been cautioned against by doctors as it can lead to penile damage of various sorts. I hope Lauren will think a bit more about some of these sorts of realities.. and other things where she isn't up to date with current sexual information for women particularly.
Both the narrators are excellent as always. They were to reason I continued listening to this one.

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.
