Snagging a date?

Not a problem.

But one that meets my special requirements?

As the premier best-man-for hire in all of Manhattan, I promise discretion, so when I need a plus one for a couple of I dos, she needs to be A-Plus in reliability. Fortunately, I have a brilliant solution in asking my best friend's sister to go on my arm. Truly is my good friend, too, and I trust her completely.

Just look how discreet she's been about the time we spent the night together. But, it was only once, and it was months ago. We've been the souls of restraint ever since. I'm sure we can make it through these weddings without banging each other in the limo. Probably.

Plus, she needs my help with a business proposal.

A little I'll-scratch-your-back-you-scratch-mine doesn't have to lead to the bedroom, right?

Good thing we know our way around the friend zone. The treacherous, torturous all-too-easy to slide out of friend zone.

*This special production also includes a behind-the-scenes conversation with Andi Arndt and Shane East as well as a blooper reel!*

Narration heaven !

Not perhaps my favourite LB book as I felt the story was a little slow to get going but once it did I enjoyed it. Brilliant narration from Andi and Shane as always and the rest of the great cast. Please make more books this way i think this style of narration is definitly the way forward. I really like the extras at the end as well, its a glimps in to what the narrators are like outside of their characters. ...and it's fun.

Swooooon!!

Well here we are with another LB book with awesome casting.

A friends-to-lovers troupe which I love.

Jason Reynolds is a best man, No, actually, not a best man, THE best man.

He runs a successful Best-man-For-Hire company, and he is pretty damn good at it, he also adds the service of his “plus-one” with his best friends’ sister Truly (LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the name!!)

They are very good friends, with lots of fun and banter between them, and there is nothing remotely sexual about them…well except that one time a few months ago, but that meant nothing, absolutely nothing…really, they are just friends…Nothing to see here folks!!

Of course, this is BS, and they are hot for each other and keep trying to find ways that they shouldn’t be together, but everyone knows that they should.

Funny, full of witty banter, and a story-line that is bound to make you swoon and sigh.
LB is the queen of the Rom-com and this one will have you catching up with characters from her other books, and with an added Blooper reel at the end of the book, will have you listening until the very last second.

Narration was top notch as usual with every LB book, she always has her audio listener fans in mind when she does her casting, and the narrators used in this book were the best of the best.

Fabulous

Aah. Lauren Blakely rom coms, you can always rely on them to brighten your day. I listened to this book via audio, and I truly believe it’s the best way to read this story. Multiple narrators, pretty much all of my favourite narrators in one audio, in total 12 narrators, yes that’s right, 12 of my favourite narrators in one audio book. Jason is best friends with Truly’s twin brother, Malone. Jason and Truly are also really good friends, and that’s all they’ll ever be, despite that one time, they did the unthinkable. No, that will never happen again. No matter how much they both seem to want it to. The chemistry is unmistakable, sparks flying, everything they could ever want in a relationship, but sadly they are both too pigheaded to make anything more of it. Wonderful story, narration and characters. There’s also lots of bonus material on the audio too. Fabulous.

A performance!

A standalone, but also book2 in the Always Satisfied series. Featuring a wonderful brit (Jason) and the sister (Truly) of his best friend (Malone).
I enjoyed the setting of the storyline as it laid the way perfectly for laughs and fun as Jason is a 'Best Man for hire' and Truly owns a bar.

Chemistry and sparks between the couple slowly burn on while they deal with the issues of a brother and friend. And while rom-com and light and laughs is always on my lips with a Lauren Blakely, make no mistake, they get hot and dirty under the covers.
Jason's job was so intriguing, had me laughing at best men! I wish there was more, I always do, but I am a sucker for it and did wish I could have had more on that side.

The performance was simply the best. I couldn't believe the amount of narrators and it was a thrill to listen to.
