Publisher's summary

Riggs Stanton is a thief.

He’s also a liar, a jerk, and a playboy jock.
Sure, I might have thought we had a connection.
I might have thought he was worth breaking my “no dating” rule.
He might have even given me the best orgasm I’ve ever experienced to date.
But it was a farce.
A trick.
Another lie.
And I don’t make mistakes twice.

Now he says he needs me.
One week of my help and I never have to deal with him again.
For ten grand, I can suffer anything for seven days.
Even Riggs Stanton.

Except...

The more time I spend with him, the more I get to know him, the more I question myself.
What if what we shared before was real, and it’s everything else that’s fake?

Better with You is the second interconnected stand-alone in the Better Love series by Brit Benson. This enemies-to-lovers new adult romance is sassy, sexy, and has a guaranteed HEA. It is not necessary to listen to Love You Better before enjoying Better with You, but Better with You will contain minor spoilers for Love You Better.

Swoon worthy-laugh out loud romance

This book has it all, Amazing narrators, comedy, romance, holy mother of spice, dirty talk, and the tear jerker middle ❤️❤️

Wow!

I mean I love Joe, but that chapter 22 was so hard! I was bawling like a baby. And I loved Keila Tager. Her voice was amazing and emotional and so perfect for Bailey!

This story was freaking sweet, so sweet it made my teeth ache! Lol but seriously, this book was perfection! I could not put it down, the struggles, and the sadness and the hurt, it was felt.

The loss in this book was profound, the way these sensitive situations were handled and written about were deeply heartfelt and painful to read. But the love behind the words was truly felt!

Bailey and Riggs had their struggles, but they were there for each other when things got really hard and that was just beautiful to read!

I loved this story so much!

Touching love story

This was a beautiful and fun story, with two main characters that both had secrets that took each other to work through and be able to grow. It was a touching romance story where they both needed each other and were able to find each other…was nice to have Ivy and Kelli cameos throughout the story and see what happened to Bailey after the bakery contest where a man named Riggs beat her. Beautiful HEA. Joe and Kelli were both amazing narrators for this story and had a wide range of emotions while performing that brought the words off the pages. Joe’s amazing narrations skills were put to use on the emotional side of this story, not throwing spoilers out, but he nails it like no other in this story.

Loved This!

I enjoyed this story from start to finish! I rode the emotional roller coaster right alongside the characters!

Another INCREDIBLE book by Brit!

I bought this series because of a 15sec clip of this book on social media. I've not read Brit ever before but she has fast become a favorite author for me!
Literally book perfection...
The banter in these books is hilarious.
The shmexy times is hot.
The audio is off the charts and makes reading this book an experience.
Love love loved it!

One of the BEST audiobooks that I have ever heard.

I can honestly say that this audio book was a total experience. I had already read Better with You in the book format and it's one of my favorite stories. So, I was so happy to be able to live it again through audio. These narrators absolutely killed it.
I cried real tears. I felt all the feelings. I never knew how much feeling ONE SINGLE BREATH could convey, but I found out during this audiobook. There is not one thing I would change. If you are an avid audio listener or an newbie, you can't miss out on this one.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCES!

I DEVOURED this audiobook! Having already listened to the first book in the series, Love You Better, I couldn't wait to hear this one. Brit Benson has become a favorite author. Kelli Tager delivered a strong performance and I thought she had a fantastic male voice that was not at all distracting. Joe Arden was perfection as Riggs. There is a scene that was so emotional, with so many tears, I felt like I was right there in the room with the characters. He had me in tears too!

This audiobook can be listened to as a stand alone, although there are characters from the first book. This book is also fairly spicy so buckle up! I'm ready for book 3.

5 Stars/3 Peppers

A Very Emotional Book

I started enjoying this book from the beginning, rather amazing. I am not sure I liked Bailey Barnes, the way she interacts with Alex, it comes across as rude and even inconsiderate of his feelings, yet he doesn't seem to mind. Bailey is commanding and aggressive and not in a good way. In chapter 5, I began to feel sorry for Bailey, as she felt she had let down her brother, Brandon. She also had issues with her parents as they fundamentally rejected Brandon because he was a transgender, both while he was living and after his death. I liked the relationship she has with her friends Ivy, Kelly and Jesse, they are all supportive of one another. Riggs, aka, Alex is a good guy, he really loves his mother, I like that about him! He also tried to be gentle and considerate of Talia. This is the first book I read of Brit Benson, I enjoyed the theme and how she developed her characters, This is also the first time, I litsened to Kelli Tager, she is great as she emotes emotions, like in chapter 9, and chapter 17 when she sobs when speaking about Brandon, she is very convincing, her performance was simply terrific! I know Joe Arden and I know he is an excellent narrator, but he never seems to amaze me! In chapter 20, he was superb! And in chapter 22, my God! I had tears running down my eyes! Joe is so gifted! And in chapter 23, was Joe really crying??? The end was like no other!

Obsessed with this book/narration

This story with these narrators is perfection. I already adored the story, and I love hearing these characters come to life! This story has all things you need in an amazing read. Amazing characters, wittiness, spice, and a captivating plot!

I enjoyed it

This one is cute. The plot is a bit far fetched but I still enjoyed this read.
