Elevator Pitch

Hapless in Love, Book 1

De: Evelyn Leigh

Narrado por: Nick Martineau, Aure Nash

Selah Bailey, an anxious, risk-averse, homebody determined to finally become the main character in her own story, created a "F*ck It List" filled with goals and experiences to force her out of her comfort zone and introduce her to a life outside of her front door.

Realizing she'll need a partner to help complete her more adventurous goals by the deadline, she goes on a few dates in the hopes of breaking her dry spell, with no luck. After what may be the worst date ever, she meets Greyson in the elevator of her building.

She soon finds herself running out of time to complete the list and seeks an arrangement with anyone tolerable—though a certain neighbor comes to mind.

Greyson is everything she wasn't prepared for and could be the perfect hero for her story. Except falling in love is against the rules, and she should probably leave the house to find it.

Greyson Park is a business-oriented extrovert who's fully content with the life he's built for himself amid his divorce.

For the past seven years, he's prioritized making the best out of every day and keeping things casual in his love life.

As the creator of a wildly successful dating app, he's become quite the modern-day matchmaker. While he loves seeing others in love, he doesn't forgive himself for the past and believes romance isn't in the cards for a second time.

After what may be the most awkward night ever, he meets Selah in the elevator of his building.

He soon finds himself needing a believable date for his ex's wedding to silence the noise about him not moving on, and works out an arrangement with his neighbor.

Selah is everything he didn't know he needed, and could be the one who introduces him to a life outside of work. Except falling in love is against the rules, and he should probably use his app to find it.

Dominant Love

Ok first off yes 🙌🏾 on the pleasure dom for this deserving woman who suffered pain in the past! This book was phenomenal because it addressed real life issues and they both found love and healing. Great book, kept me going and I will gladly buy the next one. Bring it on! #bookboyfriend

Something was missing

Good story and performance, but it felt like something was missing or off about the style of writing.

My heart oh my god.

I loved every single thing about this book. I can’t get enough. The way that Grey and Selah love each other oh my god

So cute had me giggling

I was so giddy and hiding my face in a good way. This was so well written I flew through this book!

Determined to be notice

I love this man's consistency. He set his sights on getting the girl and didn't let nothing even her stand in their way. Lord the passion that he give and the confidence would have any woman falling in love. I can't wait to read more of her books.

That was a RIDE!! 😍

Grayson is going to be a TOUGH act to follow for ANY OTHER book boyfriends to come.

First off, narration: top tier. The narrators elevated the story and I enjoyed every second of it.

Second. I am madly in love with Grayson and Selah. Watching their character evolution and growing into the people who they want to be was tear inducing. I kicked my feet, cried, smiled so hard my cheeks aches and dropped a plate while washing dishes to clutch my pearls. This was a masterpiece. The fact that I'm giving this book 5 stars even though there is a 3rd act break-up speaks LEAPS AND BOUNDS. The pen was phenomenal.

I don't even know who the next book is focused on but all of the side characters were written so vividly that I would eagerly follow any of them 😍 10/10 I gobbled this up in less than 48 hours and I'd do it AGAIN!

Loved it!!!

This book was so amazing!! I can’t wait for the friends to get a book!

Hope for the unseen

I appreciate that someone notices even the overlooked. There is someone for everyone if only you are receptive.

It's catchy

Love the storyline it was not dragged out long but gave time to develop.

where can I get a book Boyfriend?

I thought the voices were a perfect match for the characters. The story sounded so familiar in reality. Now I want a book boyfriend!!! This might be a re-listen.
