Textual Relations

De: Lauren Rowe

Narrado por: Andi Arndt, John Lane

Grayson McKnight

I haven’t been having much luck on the dating scene lately, ever since my breakup with my longtime college girlfriend. I thought being 25 and single would be a blast, but dating apps are trash, and I’ve managed to get nothing but three fake numbers at my favorite bar.

Thankfully, the actual owner of the third fake number was kind enough to reply to let me know I’d texted the wrong number. She was warm and open and expressed curiosity about the fake number I’d been given, so we got to texting. She gave me some flirting advice, so I can get a real number next time. But she was so hot when dispensing her advice, and also so kind, I saved her as "Hot Teacher" in my phone and mustered the courage to ask her for drinks tonight. Not to get more advice, but to persuade her to give me a shot herself. And she said yes. Well, actually, she said maybe. But I honestly think she’s coming.

Sight unseen, I’m already far more attracted to Hot Teacher than anyone I’ve met on the dating scene, so I’m going to pull out all the stops tonight, if she comes to the bar. The thing is, I might be shy and terrible at flirting, but if Hot Teacher gives me a shot, I’m pretty confident I’ll be able to surprise her behind closed doors. I’ve been studying up so diligently since my breakup, in fact, I’m pretty damned sure I’d be able to blow her beautiful mind, if only she’ll give me the chance.

Textual Relations is a steamy older-woman/younger-man romantic comedy that will make you laugh out loud, fan yourself, and swoon your way to Grayson and Selena’s happily ever after.

Note: Portions of the full-length novel, Textual Relations, originally appeared in Lauren Rowe's much shorter novella, Wrong Number, Right Guy, that was only briefly available.

Love this story!!!

Grayson McKnight doesn't have the best of luck when it comes to dating. Single after being with his first ever girlfriend for 5 years, he's trying to "get back in the game", but it just happened again: he was given a bogus phone number. He finds out when Selena Diaz kindly answers his text and informs him that someone gave him her number instead. A fun text exchange happens and Grayson decides to try his luck ands asks her to meet him for drinks. He already knows that she is older than his 25 years and not interested in a relationship, but he just can't help wanting to meet this wonderful woman. If she shows up, they'll see what happens from there. They both show up and drinks turn into a mind-blowing weekend in a luxury hotel. NO strings attached. NO promise of tomorrows. But Fate put them together... and now neither wants to be apart. This might have been the wrong number, but she's definitely the right woman.
This book is like a warm hug! It's also hot AF, as Grayson is a devoted student of one certain guy Ball Peen Hammer's "instructional videos"! Grayson is first grade boyfriend material and I love that Selena is older, Latinx and a mom. Their times together are equally steamy and swoony! Don't be fooled by Grayson's golden retriever ways. He can be super alpha when Selena needs him. You'll see.
And the epilogue? Awwwww.... Highly recommend!
Oh, and for the Lauren Rowe fans, they meet at Captain's!
If you are curious about the friend that goes to the bar with Grayson, you can find what went down with his one night stand with Marnie, Selena's friend, in Who's Your Daddy?
Narrated dual style with a bit of duet I the first chapter by Andi Arndt and John Lane. Andi is amazing as usual and John Lane is a familiar voice to us Lauren Rowe fans. A lovely story and a lovely audiobook!

Cute

Cute but improbable although I would love to think this could happen. Lovable characters and a delightful read. It's a feel good book that I couldn't put down.

So Clever!

Sweet, funny, witty…listened in one fell swoop! Exactly the book I needed Today. Absolutely LOVED it. Thank You

Cuteness overload ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is such a cute story and was a sweet way for the couple to meet and evolve. Top of the line narration!!!!!

Witty/romantic/love at first text

Great story, romantic love story starting with a text. Intense steamy parts, funny, reverse Cinderella story

(Changes voice for different characters)

Loved everything about this witty listen

I’m always excited when I hear Lauren Rowe has a new release and I was excited when Textual Relations hit my kindle I jumped straight in and I loved it so much I than downloaded the audible and jumped into that as well. This is Grayson McKnight and his older woman Selina’s story and boy do they have an entertaining tale to tell.
John Lane and Andi Arndt did a great job with the narration and they were spot on with the witty banter. They really did a wonderful job bringing the characters and their story to life.
Grayson finds Selina when he is given a fake number by a woman he thought he might like to date……but her loss was Selina’s gain and what follows is an entertaining, witty romance.
The chemistry is hot, the banter is witty, I fell hard and fast for Grayson and I want Selina in my corner. Once you put all of this together and add in a hint of drama you get the perfect read or listen so I guess all that’s left to say is please one click now.

Fantastic

Another amazing book by Lauren. I loved this story and the references to the Morgan books. I enjoyed the goofiness of Grayson and how Selina found her strength after divorce. The teaching moments were perfect and the ending was the icing on the cake. Love!!!!

cute, hot, fast read

i adore lauren rowe and all she's written, this is no exception.

a hot, fun, flirty, sweet romance.

i read this in one morning, and loved the characters and the story. it had me swooning all the way thru.

Age is just a number thank goodness!

Funny and heartwarming! Nice to see a reverse age gap! Really enjoyed listening to this book!!

oh my

Grayson is sweet, swoony, looking for a relationship. Why anyone would give this kind, awkward guy the wrong phone # on purpose, is crazy..But it all worked out for him.
Selena the older.woman, who received the texts, knew right away all he needed was confidence. After reading her texts, all Grayson wanted, was her.
His patience for waiting, her doubts regarding their age difference,their steamy romance had me jumping for joy. I love how he always let Selena feel. loved, cherished and beautiful. She never had that in her previous marriage.
A perfectly loving story that is steamy, fun and well written.
Andi Arndt and John Lane made this story a wonderful listen, all the emotions, drama .fun was felt throughout this story. Very well done.
