Hilarious and Sweet

This was the Valentine's day one but you can really listen to it at any time. It didn't feel overly Valentine's dayish. Which I might have been disappointed in if I had read it in February. But, I didn't so it ended up being perfect! I really liked the girl in this one - she seems smart and put together. The guy wasn't my type because he seemed kind of crude and I don't think it's a good idea to be with your best friend's brother.

The narration had the perfect comedic timing! There were a couple of moments in this story where I was actually laughing and looked like a crazy person on my commute. It was a joy to listen to! While the couple wasn't my favorite I enjoyed the telling so much I will probably listen to it again! Maybe this time for Valentine's day.

If you like movies like No Strings Attached, you will love this story!

Short romance

This was a quick best-friend's brother romance story. the narrator did a great job. I liked that the h's ex got his comeuppance and the poor H had such a laugh-out-loud bad day during the conflict of the story.

bf brother

case of best friend needs help making ex jealous so she borrows her bfs brother to only find out that they are both hot for each other.

fantastic

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! After listening to this story,. I totally enjoyed reading this book. It’s well written and the characters were uniquely fantastic. I would suggest this book to my friends that like this sort of genera. this was a good book. The narration was great.

Fun lite entertaining

Sophie and Tanner had nine years to catch up on.

Sophie finds her partner in bed with another woman. She does not take the crap and walks away. Her best friends and partner in crime has an idea or two to make Sophie feel better.

Tanner has been infatuated with Sophie since he was a teen. He is back in town and hot. He finds himself pulled into being a date for Sophie. Things heat up before they even get to the event.

Amelia Mendez did well with her performance. I would have liked to have a mor masculine sound for the male counterparts.

3 stars

This story was a bit better for me. Best friends brother trope. Sophie learns her boyfriend is cheating on her and there is a social event on Valentine's Day and in which she wants to show she's over him. Ellie (Sophie's best friend) has a solution to use her brother Tanner. And then things fly. I thought the phone toilet scene of Tanner explaining why his phone was disconnected was kind of funny.

Narration by: Amelia Mendez was ok.

I received this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

A delight!

Sophie is trying to move past her breakup with her dirtbag ex who left her for the dental hygienist. A Valentine's Ball is right around the corner and she needs to find a date to show her ex and his "new love" that she's doing just fine. Her best friend, Ellie, has the perfect solution for her, and that's to take her younger, seriously hot brother as her date. Coincidentally, Tanner, has had a long-time crush on Sophie, and he's not going to waste the opportunity to show her a great time. Just maybe, she'll be able to see that he's right for her.  In the back of her mind, Sophie's conflicted because she doesn't see much hope for a future with him because he's her best friend's brother. If something goes wrong, she's sure that their friendship will blow up! But for tonight, she's going to enjoy being with him and their night is sweet, sexy and steamy, but when the morning comes, she's disappeared. He tries to be understanding, but she's not having it because she's still worried that Ellie will be upset with her. She wastes a lot of time arguing with herself, and I just want to slap her and tell her to get over herself! When big sister steps in and has "the talk" with both of them. it gives them the chance to work it out if they can. This series is so enjoyable and each one is entirely different, but the result is a sweet HEA. The ending was a little rushed, but it didn't take away the enjoyment of this novella. Amelia Mendez does a wonderful job with the narration. Her dynamic, well-modulated voice brought each character to life. 

Quick listen!

I like this best friend's brother romance. It was a quick listen and I felt the narrator and audio quality were a bit better than the previous book in the series.
