Once upon a Wild Fling

De: Lauren Blakely

Narrado por: Andi Arndt, Sebastian York

A brand new sexy stand-alone romantic comedy from number one New York Times best-selling Author Lauren Blakely! Includes a bonus short story narrated by a full cast!

There are a million reasons why Miles Hart isn't the man I should date but allow me to enumerate the top three. He's friends with my brother; he's a single dad; and he's a sexy, in-demand rock star. He might as well wear an off-limits, totally unavailable, and don’t-even-attempt-to-ride-this-ride sign.

And there’s one more little itty-bitty thing - he's never asked me on a date.

That is, until he asks me to be his plus-one when his band plays at his high school reunion. It shouldn’t be a big deal. After all, we’re just friends, and no one is giving us our own hashtag. Except me.

I have three good reasons to keep my hands off Roxy Sterling - her brother’s my business manager; my kid is the center of my world; and the last time I fell hard for a woman, I was burned so badly that my interest in relationships has gone up in flames. But once I bring Roxy’s body next to mine on the dance floor, I want all the not-safe-for-work things I can't have with her.

My brain knows there’s no way for us to work, but tell that to my big mouth. Because the second she plants a hot, sexy kiss on me, I have the bright idea to ask her to keep being my plus one - turning one night into a few.

What’s the harm in spending a little more time with her and having her by my side at all these events? Nothing at first, until I learn exactly how risky we might be.

This audiobook includes the bonus short story A Little Big Rock, produced exclusively in audio for this title and narrated by a full cast including Andi Arndt, Sebastian York, Joe Arden, and Erin Mallon!

omg omg

you will absolutely love this book and of course Andi Arndt and Sebastian York deliver one hell of a book!!! Lauren Blakeley delivers as always!!

Great Blakely Series

This third in the series was just as good as the previous books. Blakely is a master at relationships, romance and comedy. The relationship between father and son is magical as well as bringing in a third person that only adds to that family unit. Roxy is adorable with her dream of being a mother. What better person than Miles to bring Roxy in to the Hart family. Great story, Grear narration.

5 Chicken Magnet Stars!

Lauren Blakely saved the best for last with Once Upon a Wild Fling! I absolutely loved Miles and Roxy's story! It was sweet, flirty, sexy, and adorkably fun! Even though these characters were introduced in the previous books in this series, it can certainly be enjoyed as a standalone. Sebastian York and Andi Arndt bring Miles and Roxy to life so well. They were the perfect duo for the Heartbreakers series and I loved experiencing each of these stories in audio.

One thing I love about the Heartbreakers series is that the characters are a little older and more mature. They've already lived through some of life's ups and downs and have come out stronger (though somewhat scarred) from their battles. The characters know what they want and there isn't any unnecessary drama or back and forth. Once Upon a Wild Fling was part friends to lovers, brother's little sister taboo, and single parent romance. Miles and Roxy had amazing chemistry and I loved how devoted they both were to their families and friends. I loved their sexy banter and innuendo and how their attraction was always simmering under the surface. Ben was absolutely adorable and I have to say stole the show any time he was on the page. There is some angst, but it's understandable considering the baggage and history that Miles and Roxy have when it comes to relationships. I loved that the drama wasn't overblown though and that both recognized their errors and worked quickly to make their intentions clear. The epilogue was incredibly sweet and was a wonderful ending for this blended family. I wouldn't mind an extended epilogue further down the road though with updates on all of the Hart siblings. ;)

Another thing I love about these audios is that the text messages are read in duet style narration. Sebastian and Andi's voices mesh seamlessly! The bonus novella Little Big Rock performed by 4 (YES, 4 narrators) in the duet style at the end of the book was a fantastic treat! Each character had their own voice and you really can't get any better than hearing Sebastian York, Andi Arndt, Joe Arden, and Erin Mallon all together.

Once Upon a Wild Fling is a light and feel good rom com that you're sure to love!

Sweet listen

A quick listen, I liked the brother's friend trope. I enjoyed the seemingly genuine feelings involved. Loved the narration by Andi Arndt and Sebastian York :)

Miles and Roxy

Andi Arndt and Sebastian York NEVER disappoint!

Miles Evans is the youngest brother and single dad to six year old Ben. He went on to a successful solo music career after the Heartbreakers broke up several years ago, but came back when Campbell and Miller decided to reunite. He's got serious feelings for Roxy, the sister of his close friend and financial advisor.

Roxy hasn't had much luck dating, and since she wants to be a mom more than anything, she's gone the sperm donor route. Now she assumes she's out of the romance scene for the foreseeable future - but she doesn't realize that a beautiful woman bringing life into the world on her own terms is like catnip for a man like Miles.

I had a bit of an epiphany while reading this - there are a lot of stories out there where the main characters feel like they can't be together because of best friends or siblings or co-worker issues. But in these fictional tales, they figure it out, even if they struggle with it for a few chapters. Unlike real life, where two people might jump into something thinking it won't be an issue, but then it is an issue. So the little hitches that make up the 3rd act drama are a GOOD thing, because they're focused on what's good for everyone and not just themselves in the heat of a moment.

Anyway, I loved this story and recommend it to others in any format, paperback, e-book, and the Audio is amazing too!
