Publisher's summary

Some guys are just undateable.

Look, I’m all for romance novels, but life doesn’t always work out like it does in a book. Friends don’t usually turn into lovers, fake dates don’t often become more, and billionaires rarely have carved abs. I’m not a negative Nelly; I’m just a realist. As a friend and a coworker to Gavin Sexy Pants Clements, I fit firmly in the “undateable" category.

When he asks me to be his pretend date for his sister’s engagement party, I’m positive there’s no way this night will lead to a happy ending. But I’m his friend, so I say yes.

Then I learn the secret to how friends can become lovers....

Note: Gavin and Savannah’s romance first appeared as a subplot in Instant Attraction, a collection that was offered briefly in September 2019. Their love story has been updated, expanded, and recorded with brand-new narration!

Short & Sweet!

Undateable is a fun novella that hits the spot for anyone who enjoys friends to lovers. Gavin and Savannah are coworkers/friends, so when he needs to take a date to his sister’s engagement party, taking her as his fake girlfriend seems like the perfect solution to keep his mother from trying to set him up. Not wanting to rush in or be the rebound, they build their friendship until the sparks fly. At just over an hour, this story is short and sweet with the great banter we know and love from Lauren Blakely. Evan Parker and Brook Bloomingdale bring the story to life with plenty of humor and heat. Lauren loves audio and it shows with every book!

Cute story-not favorite narration

As usual LB writes a cute friends to lovers story. I was so glad this was short because the male narrator did not fit the story line. Male character was blond haired blue eyed but did not sound like it at all. And his tone was the same regardless if he was saying hello or kissing.

fun & entertaining short story!

this was a quick listen but highly entertaining. I laughed at the "she's the kind of stripper you bring home to mom!"

Flirty and fun

Undateable by Lauren Blakely is a fun short story about Gavin and Savannah. This fun and witty story of two people who slowly realize that their forever love is right in front of them is written so well. I’ve always loved Lauren Blakely’s writing style. Her characters are fun, witty, passionate, and have lots of love to give to family and friends. Brooke Bloomingdale and Evan Parker bring this fun, witty, and slow-burn to life. Both of these narrators are super talented with aural expertise. Loved it!!

A great quickie with wonderful narration

Gavin and Savannah have the most adorable story. Although this was a quickie audio, there's plenty of story to satisfy me. Friends to lovers is one of my favorite tropes, and Lauren Blakely is one of the best at writing these stories.

Evan Parker and Brooke Bloomingdale were a great narrating team.

Flirty and fun Novella!

What a fun and delicious quick listen this novella is. Lauren has the unique gift to create such a interesting and sexy story in just over an hour long. Savannah and Gavin are coworkers who go on a “fake date” just to eventually realize there is more to them than just coworkers. I loved how Savannah secretly was into Gavin, but did not pursue, just maintained a fun friendship. (A recipe for any great foundation in a relationship I think.) He is “Undateable”. But when Gavin asked her to accompany him as his fake date to an event, their intense chemistry starts to crackle. They decided to go on some dates for a while to see if the chemistry stays.
Brooke Bloomingdale did a fantastic job voicing Savannah’s open, friendly, and cheerful personality. Evan has such an infectious upbeat personality throughout that fits Gavin perfectly.

Great short story!!

I loved this fake date, friends to lovers novella from Lauren Blakely. It was a fun escape on my commute to work this morning. Fantastic storyline and narration makes for a wonderful listening experience!

Cute short story.

I enjoyed this short story and you probably will too. Seems it is linked to at least one other book: Shut Up and Kiss Me, which takes place after this book.
