Resumen del Editor

Performed by award-winning narrator Julia Whelan and Jason Clarke! A friends-to-lovers stand-alone romance with a twist!

When that toe-curling, knee-weakening, sizzling sleepover between best friends definitely shouldn’t happen again...

How to resist sleeping with your best friend when you’re stuck in a hotel room in Vegas with the charming, glasses-wearing hottie:

1. Slather your face in a grapefruit mask
2. Wear a big, fluffy robe
3. Make him do the same

Oops.

Didn’t work. Turns out our libidos had other plans.

But no biggie. After epic, soul-shattering banging, I’ll just put the genie back in the bottle the next morning. Only, that’s easier said than done. After years of scraping by, Nolan and I just landed the big break of a lifetime for our scrappy online restaurant review show. We’re going to New York for a month.

Just the two of us. Together all the time.

But I’ve already lost my best friend once, so I’ll do whatever it takes to resist thoroughly delicious Nolan again.

Until I learn whatever it takes might cost me everything.

This audiobook also includes the debut of Shameless Flirt, a full-cast prequel novella, performed by Teddy Hamilton, Shane East, and a full cast!

I loved it!

Shut Up and Kiss Me by Lauren Blakely is another hit! I love how the author writes the characters and makes one feel connected to them. The descriptions and details are outstanding. I can envision so many details. The pairing of narrators was absolutely fantastic! Julia Whelan and Jason Clarke are incredible alone, but together they wove magic. I really enjoyed this book.

What a fantastic friends to lovers journey

There is something special about about an author who can write a countless number of stories using one trope while always delivering a different, unique, captivating story with some of the most fun, flirty, and hilarious characters. Lauren is no stranger to romantic comedies. She is no stranger to a great friends-to-lovers story. She is no stranger to an amazing cast of main and supporting characters that always make you feel like you are a part of their world.

Shut up and Kiss Me was fantastic. Nolan and Emerson were best friends and business partners who were waiting for their chance to make it big and have their food vlog take off. When an opportunity arises Nolan and Emerson find themselves competing for a chance of a lifetime while trying to navigate their own feelings for one another. The long-time friends were used to the suggestive and flirtatious banter as it was a part of their show, but has it always been an act or where these two destined to cross the line of friendship into so much more.

I loved Emerson so much, but my heart also ached for her and the loss she has endured. I couldn't even imagine a loss like that. It was so heartwarming when she, herself realized what was holding her back and what she needed to do for herself. This book was so much fun. I read the e-book and I listened to the audiobook which was narrated by Julia Whelan and Jason Clarke. The two did a wonderful falling right into character with Emerson and Nolan. I truly felt like I was right along their side as they traveled to Vegas and then to NYC. I felt I was right along as they traveled from shop to shop recording their vlog with the many different foods they tried. This book was different and I really enjoyed the experience. Of course, the entire supporting cast contributed in making Emerson and Nolan's story pure perfection. Every time I read one of Lauren's books it is as if I am watching an episode of a favorite Netflix show. (I wish).

A Fun Rom-Com

This is such a fun and enjoyable rom-com. I really enjoyed the premise of two friends, Nolan and Emerson, who have a food review/blog that they are trying to get launched into mainstream media. While it's obvious that these two will go from a friends to lovers situation, how they get there is a collection of funny and romantic situations.

Friends to Lovers, Foodie & Sexy

I love the friends to lovers trope. Blakely's Shut Up and Kiss me delivered a sizzling friends to lovers romance that was sexy, flirty and so delicious. Emerson and Nolan's relationship felt genuine from their friendship to what happens when they cross the line and try to ignore their feelings. All the food talk had me drooling.

I adore Julia Whelan's narration, and she was perfectly paired with the talents of Jason Clarke. The audio was such fun to listen to. I devoured it.

Loved all the details

The narrators performance made this funny story a wonderful listen. The details of food and the cities kept the story interesting.

Shut Up and Kiss Me

From the opening with all those innuendos, to the very swoony ending, this book is pure FUN! Witty banter, quick comebacks...and the one bed...this is a story you can get lost in over and over again.

Oh, and Nancy...that was just brilliant!

Amazing Friends to Lovers!!!!

This friends to lovers was everything I was hoping for and expecting from Lauren Blakely! The characters were funny, the banter is top notch, and of course their chemistry was off the charts! I always fall in love with the Lauren's characters and this book was no exception! and to top it off, Jason Clarke and Julia Whelan were both amazing narrators. I will listen to anything narrated by Jason, but it's so much better when I am loving the character he is bringing to life. Highly recommend this one!!!!

Sweet Romance

Narration was great and the story was just as expected. Sweet with a little spice with alot of passion🥰🥰

Beautiful Story!

This is the second book in the Happy Endings series. This is a sweet friends-to-lovers romance. Nolan and Emerson are great characters. I liked their banter, and push and pull relationship. The story has some emotional parts. This is a beautiful story. Julia Whelan and Jason Clarke did an excellent job with the narration. I enjoyed it. The bonus novella Shameless Flirt is a great addition to this audiobook, performed by Teddy Hamilton, Shane East, and a full cast.

Swoon-worthy friends to lovers romance!!

Shut Up and Kiss Me by Lauren Blakely was a delicious, swoon-worthy, make-your-heart-feel-so-good friends to lovers romance! I devoured this book in one sitting because I found myself all wrapped up in Emerson and Nolan's foodie love story! Lauren once again has created relatable characters that readers and listeners will be able to connect and empathize with in all the best ways.

This audiobook is narrated by Julia Whelan and Jason Clarke. This was my first time hearing these two paired together, and it was such a delight to my ears! Julia Whelan gave a passionate performance of Emerson. Julia's ability to showcase Emerson's hopes, past pain, ambitious drive, and dedication to her love of her food show was captivating and endearing! Jason Clarke's performance of Nolan was adorable, dreamy, and sexy all at the same time. Jason conveyed Nolan's hesitations, wants, and desires in his signature growly tone. (insert happy sigh...) Both narrators were fantastic displaying the push and pull of Emerson and Nolan’s relationship as they finally gave into their hot magnetic chemistry!

Overall, I LOVED this audiobook! If you are a fan of friends to lovers romances with low angst, a hunky hot food critic who loves to wear boxers printed with cute animals (hello flamingos), a determined fierce heroine ready to make her mark in the T.V. food industry, cheap adventurous plane flights with parrots, loveable food grannies, trips to Vegas and NYC, making it big on Youtube and Webflix, rollercoaster kisses, comfy hotel bathrobes, all the steamy times, and a HEA that you will go absolutely bananas over, then you will love Emerson and Nolan's story! I always look forward to more from Lauren Blakely.
