Sex and Other Shiny Objects

De: Lauren Blakely

Narrado por: Andi Arndt, Jason Clarke, Julia Whelan, Joe Arden, Erin Mallon

Indulge in a brand new standalone romance performed by Andi Arndt and Jason Clarke, and special guest star Julia Whelan, with additional voices by Joe Arden and Erin Mallon!

The second the test-the-sexy-scenes offer landed in my lap, I said yes. After all, I’ve been damn curious about a few things I’ve read in romance novels. Do buttons truly go flying across the floor when you rip off a guy’s shirt? Is staircase sex hella hot or does it leave you with a big old bruise mark on your back? And don’t even get me started on all that panty shredding, and whether it even works. My best guy friend volunteers for the experiment. We have a plan to keep it PG and preserve our friendship. But once the buttons start flying, all bets are off…

This is Peyton and Tristan’s romance. Tropes include: friends to lovers, dating lessons, he falls first

Oh, Tristan! Oh, Jason!

I’m in love with Peyton’s best guy friend. He’s the full package: successful business owner, bearded beauty, great big brother, selfless friend. When Peyton asks him to help her research sexy scenes popular in romance novels, he’s all in. They shared a hot, passionate kiss several years prior, but it wasn’t their time. This research project could be just the push they need.

The experiments were smoking hot. Tristan and Peyton are great friends, their chemistry is off the charts, and they laugh so much together. To me, that’s a very sexy thing between couples. Both of them have their baggage, but it’s not a secret to either of them. I love when friends discover what they’ve been looking for has always been right in front of them.

This story has the feels; a beautiful journey between two childhood friends. Lauren’s friends/best friends to lovers stories are some of my favorite. The supporting cast is wonderful. Jason Clarke and Andi Arndt make a great narrating team. There are a few special guests, but I won’t spoil it.

This Boyfriend Material series is addictive, and I can’t wait for the next book!

Fun and flirty

This book was great! I love the story and the characters. Huge fan of Lauren Blakely!

cute story but predictable

This was a cute story. From the beginning it was easy to tell how it would end, but including the twist with the book and blog was nice. Both lead chara terse were smart and witty, but dumb as a box of rocks with each other. 🤣🤣🤣 Having her ex make an appearance was nice too. Love the narration. only thing that could've made things better would be if the did the scenes together.

Lauren never fails to deliever!

I am in love! Lauren's characters are heartfelt, honest, real, funny and sexy!
Her writing style makes me laugh out loud while turning my heart to mush and igniting my passions!

Do yourself a favour and start in on her universe of books! This one is really good, although I adore so many of her books it's hard to pick a favourite!

Loved it!

Live with no regrets and never let a man take away your shine! A great reminder from Lauren! I very much enjoyed Tristan and Peyton’s story, it was very entertaining with all the things that could go wrong when trying to reenact scenes from romance novels. I loved when they finally decided to stop playing games and go for it for real. “Put yourself out there. Do the hard things. Go for it.” The narration was fantastic, Jason is always a joy to listen to and he pairs well with the talented Andi. The rest of the cast was great to listen to as well.
