Publisher's Summary

Please note: This book was previously published as Dear Bridget I Want You. Only the title and cover have been changed. All other content remains the same. 

From The New York Times best-selling authors of Stuck-Up Suit and Mister Moneybags comes a new, sexy stand-alone novel. 

Dear Bridget, 

I’m writing this letter because it’s highly doubtful I’ll ever garner the courage to say this to your face.

So, here goes. 

We’re totally wrong for each other. You’re the proper single mum with a good head on your shoulders. I’m just the carefree British doctor passing through town and temporarily living in your converted garage until I head back to England. 

But here’s the thing...for some bloody reason, I can’t stop thinking about you in very inappropriate ways. 

I want you. 

The only reason I’m even admitting all of this to you right now is because I don’t believe it’s one-sided. I notice your eyes when you look at me, too. And as crass as I appear when we’re joking around about sex, my attraction to you is not a joke. 

So, what’s the purpose of this note? I guess it’s a reminder that we’re adults, that sex is healthy and natural, and that you can find me just through the door past the kitchen. More specifically, it’s to let you know that I’m leaving said door cracked open from now on in case you’d fancy a British bedmate in the middle of the night sometime. 

No questions asked. 

Think about it. 

Or don’t. 

Whatever you choose. 

It’s doubtful I’ll even end up sliding this letter under your door anyway. 

-Simon

A HEARTWARMING AND DELICIOUS ROM/COM

This lighthearted dual POV love story had a couple of loveable characters who wanted very different things out of life.. but, as the sweet sexy hero says “you don’t choose love - love chooses you”. Simon and Bridget were in two very different places in their lives - they tried to just be friends.. however, their sizzling chemistry and mutual attraction couldn’t be denied. And, before long, the carefree handsome charming twenty-nine yr old British Doctor is proposing naughty things, dirty-talking his way into her Monday Tuesday Wednesday etc etc... and unwittingly falling hard for the thirty plus yr old widowed Mom/Nurse. Bridget is a devoted Mom, she’s cautious and diligent but somehow Simon weaves his charismatic ways into hers and her son’s lives and they’d love him to stay there. Unfortunately though, that’s not going to be possible because Simon’s planning to go back home to the UK after his internship and so their relationship’s got an end date.. but thankfully Fate and Destiny had other plans.

An easy-going romance with heart, heat and a loveable charmer who proves himself worthy over and over again. It’s a fairly predictable yet totally addictive low angst story however these two talented authors still managed to add a jaw-dropping shocking twist that wow I didn’t see coming. Despite tragedy in both their pasts there was an ease and playfulness to the story as Simon and Bridget just clicked together. With plenty of humorous scenes as the carefree droolworthy Playboy falls for the independent strong yet vulnerable Mom.. and her cute eight yr old son.

Worth a credit? Yes.. a perfectly narrated enjoyable and entertaining Rom/com that had flirty banter leading to passion, pleasures, love and sweet HEA’s.

Cute and sweet 👍

Another hit by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland!! When you put these two together and it's romantic comedy magic. This is a sexy, light, enjoyable listen.

Nurse Bridget has an incident with a 🐟 hook in an awkward place that lands her in the ER. The doctor that comes to fetch out the hook is a young, attractive playboy named Simon. His joking tone about the situation at hand throws single mom Bridget off kilter.

After loosing her husband to a car crash her dating life has been non existent. Bridget just dismisses the indecent but can't stop thinking of Simon. While raising her son and trying to keep the house she and her husband bought together, dating is something not only is she not ready for but, doesn't have the time to pursue. When her yoga instructor hooks her up with a renter. As it turns out he's a doctor completing his residency. When he shows up of course, it's "hottie ER doctor" Simon. awkward..

The flirting banter that ensues between Bridget and Simon will have your belly swimming with butterflies. The chemistry between these two is instant the romance is not. The slow sexy build up will have you squirming in your panties lol.

The narration only added to this enchanting book. Andi and Zack are favorites of mine. They always do a fantastic job. I wasn't sure how I would feel about the accent needed to portray Simon but Zack nailed it and made it sexy. This 5 star listen was certainly worth the credit!

Pleasant Story

This story was very pleasant to listen to. I liked how Simon developed emotionally throughout the book as well did Bridget. They were both stuck and lost in time; I mean they couldn’t have predicted what happened go their significant others. Also, the authors show how monotony is your worse enemy in a relationship, which suggests that both parties have to work hard to keep the spark going. I suppose the authors touch up on the subject a bit.

The performance was stellar for both Andi and Zachary. I would never get tired of listening to them! Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland did a good job! 👏🏼

All the Feels

Loved this book! I like both of these authors but almost didn’t buy this book as the description didn’t totally hook me. I’m glad that I went ahead and purchased it, as it hit all the buttons for me. And, oh my, I could listen to Zachary Webber’s British accent ALL DAY LONG! If you like hot, dirty talking, alpha doctors with sexy accents, do yourself a favor and click that “Buy Now” button.

Perfect steamy romance

Now this is how a steamy romance is written! If you are looking for a clean romance, this is not it but if you are ok with a few sex scenes with a really sweet story, this is it! I have listened to so many books where sex was the plot. I need a good story to go along with the steam. Loved it!!

Loved This Book!!!

This book is one of the best I’ve had the pleasure of reading. Fabulous characters that I fell in love with and the narration by Webber and Arndt, superb as always. A love story that will keep your attention and give you warm fuzzies at the end. Do not hesitate to use that credit. You’ll love it, I promise.

Another Hit from Penelope & Vi

When Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland write something you know that it's going to be good and this was no exception.

It was a fun, sexy and emotional story with very little angst.

Andi Arndt and Zachary Webber did an amazing job narrating.

Awful accents

Unfortunately the accents ruin this audiobook.
I usually love Andi Arndt but it was just so of putting.

Brilliant!

I loved this book. It had me laughing out at times and i was so invested in the Characters, I couldn"t stop listening.
I love when Zachary and Andi work together, their voices are so expressive, I feel everything they act, their performance is always special.
Yes Andi's british accent might've dropped a few times, but so what, in my opinion her charisma is more important than the accent.
Zachary Webber's voice is phenomenal, he can make the dictionary sound hot.
If you want a funny, sexy, entertaining story, than look no further. I would give this 10 stars for each category if I could.

Great story but unconvincing British dialogue

Interesting story with a warm sweet heart breaking centre. Both Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland are fantastic writers, but please don't try a British character again unless you find a British editor who can catch all the mistakes. I'm not picky but the dialogue was full (and yes I mean FULL) of words and expression an English man would never say. And please note, Loo does not mean bathroom, it mean's toilet. Brits never say 'buddy' and never ever say 'different than'
So it just jarred and was harder to believable
Likewise, the narrator made several mistakes with the accent.

lovely

Sweet book.
I keep going back to it everytime because it's such a lovely story.

5 full stars - I loved it

I love Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward, they complement each other perfectly and I always find myself addicted to their stories. They’re funny, sexy and very easy to read. Dear Bridget is quite possibly one of my favourites to date, the characters are adorable, and when I say characters I specifically mean Brendon, who stole the show for me, I loved his interactions with Simon, and some of my favourite scenes were with Brenden and Simon, so sweet. Simon, I must say, has a wicked sense of humour and a dirty mouth, very British. I loved him! Bridget, was honest, practical and a strong character, she worked complemented Simon’s boyish charm perfectly, plus their chemistry scorching. A wonderful, entertaining rom com, with an added twist (very clever), wonderfully written in dual POV. Perfectly narrated by Zachary Webber and Andi Arndt. I loved it.

Lovely and funny

Such a nice story, honest and easy to listen to. There was enough drama, but no dramatics (which can become tedious) the story was enough on its own.

A Must!!

Excellent, Great, surprising and very funny in most parts..... Really enjoyed listening to this one!!

Fantastic

Loved this book, such a feel good story. The book gives you everything you need, romance, comedy and some hot scenes.

Plush

Sadly this is not one of my favourites , the performances are good although Zachary accent is excellent ( I’m English) to start it does drift off as the book goes on,
The story I enjoyed but just did not enjoy as much as some of their other collaborations probably just personal choice
