Publisher's summary

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.

Perfection

Light hearted romance. Loved it♥️ Jacob Morgan the best male narrator who can perform in comedic sense, or serious heartfelt more dramatic sense. It is all in his delivery. And Andi Arndt was also great as a performer. I enjoyed the story very much.

Soooo cute!!

Anytime I want a quick, pick-me-up, I grab a coffee and a rom com. This was sooo cute! There were many revelations in this story that were written in a simple and easy to relate to manner. It’s refreshing to read of main characters that are aware of their baggage but don’t wax poetic of their issues. And I was so happy that the underlying theme of this book was vulnerability. Gah! I highly recommend!

I thought it started ok. I was into it but slowly throughout the story I got out of it.

Just loved both narrators and cute story

Just loved both narrators and cute story. Highly recommend. Be aware it's very explicit in case that's a thing for you.
