Resumen del Editor

An irresistibly sexy, emotionally charged MM romance between a broody American and a charming Brit, from number one NYT best seller Lauren Blakely and performed with duet narration by Teddy Hamilton and Shane East!

Look, when I met the sexy, witty Brit on the streets of London last night, I had no idea who he was. He was just that hot guy I wanted to have a drink with, so I asked him out for my first evening in town. One thing almost led to another. After a midnight kiss, we made plans for a whole lot more the next day.

But when I unlock the door to my rental in the morning, the English hottie is lounging on the couch like he lives here too. Great. For the next year, I’ll be sharing a tiny flat with the sexiest guy I’ve ever known.

Time for a few simple rules—don’t walk around the flat wearing only a towel, don’t spend our nights together exploring London, and don’t crack open my secrets for him. Even as I smash all those rules, I try to resist falling for the cocky charmer. But after a taste of his lips, I give all the way in, telling myself one night, and we won’t fall in love.

Too bad in the morning, I discover that hiding my true feelings is the least of my worries, compared to a twist I never see coming.

Hopelessly Bromantic is the first novel in a scorching, emotional, hilarious, two-book epic romance that'll take you from London to New York, from Paris to Los Angeles, and back home. Performed with a full supporting cast including Vanessa Edwin, J. F. Harding, James Joseph, Faye Adele, Evan Parker, Shakira Shute, Robbie Martino, Blake Lockheart, Stephanie Németh-Parker, and Stella Hunter.

Hopelessly in love with this book!

Hopelessly Bromantic by Lauren Blakely was even better than I knew it would be. I so loved both Jude and TJ and the easy friendship and chemistry between them both. They will make you laugh, cry, swoon, and seek out your significant other, because the steam factor is at a boil. Add in all the supporting characters and you couldn’t ask for anything more, well except for the next book to come out NOW!!! No matter if you read it or listen to the audiobook, you will feel and experience every emotion. The writing is just that good. I highly recommend the audiobook because Teddy Hamilton and Shane East are EVERYTHING!! When you get to a pivotal chapter at the end you will know exactly why I’m saying this. I don’t think anyone could have fit the part better than them. My heart truly couldn’t take it. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could!

Shane and Teddy wow!!

This was really a great story brought to life by an amazing cast. That I have to wait until the end of this month to read book 2, is really too much!!!! Well done Lauren. Sexy dang book.

I loved this…. And can’t wait for the next one

Shane and Teddy are amazing together and their chemistry shines through in this book. The storyline and dialogue kept me vested even though I was fearful of what was going to tear them apart that would cause them to be enemies to lovers in the next book. They were the complete opposite of enemies in 99% of the story and it hurt my heart the way it ended. I’m just glad that the next audiobook book is out in only 3 days so I can get my Jude and TJ fix.
Seriously, I loved Teddy and Shane and will be looking for more from them.

5 When Roommates Become So Much More Stars!!

Lauren Blakely has finally given us TJ’s story and OH MY STARS… I FREAKING LOVED this book!!

This is the beginning of TJ and Jude’s story and how these two strangers thought they’d have some good times not expecting to be seeing each other again as soon as they did which in and of itself was quite a humorous scene.

TJ is an American that’s moved to London for work and while he’s not looking for love, he’s definitely not opposed to having a good time with the sexy Brit that gives him some shopping advice. Little did he know that his life was about to change in all the best ways!

I loved TJ and Jude’s banter and building sexual tension that kept me enthralled with their story. And imagine if you can, how fabulous this story sounds as it’s performed and narrated by Teddy Hamilton, Shane East and an entire cast of phenomenal narrators. It brought to life each character and I found myself laughing out loud, swooning, fanning myself along with some wide-eyed moments that I didn’t see coming!

There’s so much to TJ and Jude and Ms. Blakely does them proud with their sharp-witted banter, the love they find with each other that neither really was looking for and an attraction that is so palpable I needed a cigarette after each love scene! I’m just going to sit over here and wait for the conclusion of their story because we’re on the precipice of an event that has the possibility of changing both of their lives!

Amazing as always!

I always love listening to Lauren Blakely's books and this one is no different. The full cast production brings the entire story to life.

All the feels with fantastic performances!

You had me at Blakely, but beyond that this book is everything I love about love: Falling in love, healing from heartache, getting over something that wasn’t broken but wasn’t the right time, letting go of something that might come back to you someday if you do… This book is the goodness in everyone, all the best characters, all the best in what we hope for humanity to be - Lauren Blakely makes me feel good with every story - even when she breaks my heart in the process and then builds it back up again for that happily ever after we all live for in romance. Jude and TJ are absolute perfection from the meet cute to letting go because it’s the right thing to do. Honestly, I have hopeful tears running down my face right now thinking about this book I just finished. There is a kiss in the rain that made me weak in the knees, let alone what happens after that - Yowza! When beautiful connections and true love are also filthy - that is amazing!

Buckle up for this one, though, because there is something unexpected coming. I’m kind of a mess right now… HOLY plot twists - I was definitely not expecting that end or that epilogue! I can’t wait for what’s next for TJ and Jude in Here Comes My Man!!!! I know it will be well written, beautifully performed, and everything I need from romance while remaining fresh and bringing me new adventures, new experiences, new characters, new love, and fantastic narration!

Now, let’s talk about performances! #Sheddy is AMAZING! Lauren loves audio and it shows with every new book she releases. DUET narration with a full supporting cast including: Vanessa Edwin, J. F. Harding, James Joseph, Faye Adele, Evan Parker, Shakira Shute, Robbie Martino, Blake Lockheart, Stephanie Németh-Parker, and Stella Hunter. All of them are absolutely fantastic performers who bring their very best to the characters and experiences to pull us through the rollercoaster of the romantic experience from meeting someone wonderful, falling in love, and handling real situations for what life hands us all. GET LOST in Hopelessly Bromantic and let these narrators bring you through the full gamut of emotions to finish you off with LOVE all over your heart and soul! The bloopers are once again hilarious perfection!

Love Jude and T. J. and can’t wait for more!!

Oh, my heart! Hopelessly Bromantic by Lauren Blakely was a swoon-worthy roommates to lovers MM romance that did deliciously good things to my heart, but also left me pining for so much more! I love how Jude and T.J. thought they could keep things platonic only to fall fast and hard for each other (I mean…their first steamy scene is a scorcher!) Then Lauren throws us a curveball that I wasn’t quite ready for!

This audiobook is narrated in duet by Shane East and Teddy Hamilton with a full supporting cast! This entire production is amazing, like a movie in your ears with the various distinct talented voices that do a great job bringing Lauren’s words to life. Shane was oh so dreamy portraying charismatic and passionate up-and-coming British actor Jude. Teddy conveyed T.J.’s playful and flirty nature so well that he absolutely made my heart squeeze! Plus, Jude and T.J.’s chemistry was the off-the-charts HOT and was felt fully in their performances! (Hello chills!)

Overall I loved book 1 of the Hopelessly Bromantic duet! If you are a fan of a hunky aspiring actor, a romance author hoping to make it big, meet-cutes in London, roommate surprises, shopping trips, references to awesome rock bands, dick humor, super hot steamy times, an unexpected passage of time, reuniting spicy nights, angsty tension-filled arguments, and a cliffhanger ending that will leave your heart yearning for Jude and T.J. to find a way to be happy together, then you will love this book! These men stole my heart, and I’m going to need the conclusion to their love story in Here Comes My Man soon!

So good!!!

A great book and excellent narration. I loved everything about it. I went into this book knowing that it will be continued (torture!!) and now I must wait 😭 but I really look forward to the conclusion and I’m glad it wasn’t a shock at the end (which really aggravates me)

Worth The Wait!

I preordered this book months ago and listened to it in one sitting. It did not disappoint, except maybe that it’s a two parter and I have to wait another three weeks for the conclusion!

TJ and Jude meet in London and have immediate chemistry. Crazy circumstances prevail and they end up as roommates. They try to behave, but the pull is just too strong. The story takes some crazy twists and turns and our hearts are put through the ringer so many times. Lauren has once again taken us on a journey with these two men, both of whom have guarded hearts. This proves to be a big hurdle for both of them. I found myself yelling at one or both of them a couple of times! That’s a sign of a great book!

Of course, it goes without saying the narration was brilliant! Full cast is so fun, and Shane East and Teddy Hamilton are sheer perfection!
