The Proximity Factor

De: Jennifer Peel

Narrado por: Stephanie Rose, Stephen Dexter

So . . . I signed up for something. Not a gym or Costco membership, which probably would have been wiser. Oh no, I signed up for a social experiment. You heard me right. I, Lanie Davenport, am going to be the subject of a scientific study. Do I know what this study is for? Not exactly. But I know it means I have to live with a stranger for twelve weeks and do a video diary once a week, answering the researchers’ questions. The bright side is that I’m getting paid, like a lot of money. The downside is that my roommate isn’t a woman like I supposed. I thought I would get a new BFF, but in her place is one Parker Remington. Mr. broody-leave-the-toilet-seat-up-don’t-talk-to-me-or-organize-my-Pop-Tarts-in-the-pantry. You get the picture.

But this I can’t have. I don’t know what this experiment is about, but I’m going to save it and make a difference in the world. And whether Parker likes it or not, he’s going to help me. Well, maybe. He’s a tough nut to crack, and I should probably leave well enough alone. But there’s just something about my gorgeous, older, genius-level roommate that makes me want to find out what makes him tick. I have a feeling if he would let me into his world, it would change mine.

But experimenting with the heart is the most dangerous research around. You never know what the outcome will be.

USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Peel presents a hilarious grumpy-sunshine romance that will leave you swooning and smiling.

Super cute

Grumpy sunshine and obviously forced proximity. It was so fun and light hearted while also gracefully addressing real life topics. It’s was such a nice read and the narrators were perfect for the characters.

BEST of all Peel's books

This book was so much fun! Lanie, the FMC, is the kind of rare women that is always positive, always a true friend to all. Parker was a midlife curmudgeon but oh so lovable. Their adventure navigating falling in love was so special, so original and told by such great narrators, it was easy to make it one of my all time!

I highly reccommend this book.

Excellent Story Teller

This author doesn’t need cringy sex scenes or foul language in order to be witty. She knows how to write an excellent story and develop her characters with extraordinary brilliance and charm. Also, I love a good rom com with a female voice and a male voice.

Cute!!!

This was a pretty realistic and reasonable fun story. I appreciated the truth and reality in the story. It was a fun listen.

Well performed, story didn’t reach potential

Narrators were excellent. The story was just wonky, with elements too unbelievable to be convincing. The 11th hour conflict was unnecessary and silly.
