bloody fantastic

amazing narration by masters and price. loved this in all its glorious bb snark and wit. a hilariously unforgettable cast that I could binge all week. hello, Netflix? bring this to the small screen, pls and ty!

Disappointing but not terrible

I had high expectations because of the reviews. I think if I didn’t expect much, I might have enjoyed it more. Instead, I was really disappointed and regret spending credits on this. I was bored, not entertained, and relieved when it was over. If this is free for you, go for it. I don’t recommend spending credits on it.

LOL RomCom at its Best! Great Story & Narration🎧

This fabulous romantic comedy contains the perfect balance of drama, hilarious and laugh out loud humor, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. I enjoy BB Easton’s writing style and the way she draws you into her story, grabbing your attention and captivating it the entire book. Dr. Luna “Lou” Sterling, a psychologist, is steps away from getting PhD, a PhD she has dreamed of getting, when her boss assigns her a new client, one that will either make or break her because if she fails she can kiss her PhD behind. The client is a best-selling author, Thomas O’Reardon, who is suffering from writer’s block and his publishers gave him a timeline to get his next book out or he will lose his two million dollar deal. Problem is Lou is not only a huge fan of Thomas’s books, but she secretly crushes on him too. With her PhD riding on this, she must do what she can to get O’Reardon to get his groove back. He is not very receptive to see a therapist. But after a few visits, he warms to the idea, or rather, he warms up to Lou. And when he asks her out, she can not say yes since he is a patient nor could she say no, so she thinks of a way around it, Group Therapy and she gets her friends to help, her friends that are just as quirky as she is, maybe even more. There is never a dull moment in this book and I loved how it all played out, the story is cleverly plotted and you can definitely expect the unexpected, and have lots of fun along the way. BB Easton, thank you for another fabulously delightful story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧 📚🎧 And for the wonderful narration, Ramona Master and Liam Price are mega talented narrator and versatile voice artists. They had a complete understanding of the characters they portrayed, gave each a voice that was a perfect fit for that character’s persona, sounding believable in every role and just as I pictured the characters to sound. Ramona Master nailed it as Lou, captured her quirkiness and her every emotion and had you feeling them, Liam Price did the same for Thomas, grasped his persona to a tee. Both were great at performing the roles of the secondary character as well. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to and their narration enhances an already great story to another level. Thank you for the wonderful listen.

Another hilarious story from BB Easton

If you’ve never picked up a BB Easton book this is a great place to start!

My absolute favorite!

I’ve been dragging it out, because I didn’t want it to end… but I finally finished this and I love it even more than I did after I read the book!

This is one of my favorite books EVER! It had me cackling so hard I was nearly rolling on the floor (not a good thing while driving or at work) and I’m so in love with Thomas and Luna!

There’s something so refreshing about this author’s words. The past few years have been HARD, but this book brought some much needed laughter to my life. Ramona Master has the perfect voice for Luna, and Liam Price? ALLL the swoon. He was the perfect Thomas.

The cast of characters in this story was fantastic and I couldn’t wait to hear what would happen next with every one of them. This book had the steam and the heavy and the light-hearted all rolled into one.

If you haven’t had a chance to read or listen to this amazing book yet, what are you waiting for?!!

Laugh out loud funny

One of the funniest books I have read in a long time. I hadn't even finished reading it yet and I was already recommending the book to friends to read or listen to.

As someone who works in the mental health field I am sure someone will have an issue with the patient client love affair. But I don't because it's written as fun fun it's just a book it's there to take you away from the truth sadness and hurt that mental health illness can be sometimes.

If you're looking for something to take you away from the seriousness of life and you need to laugh with a little bit of steamy steamy sex then this is the perfect book for you to read.

not for me

I didn't feel any connection between the two main characters. I didn't even chuckle much less laugh at anything. The "craziness" (which I didn't find funny) overshadowed everything else. Then if you think it couldn't get crazier, it does. I don't understand how this was supposed to be funny even in a fictional rom-com setting. I pushed myself to finish (I hate DNF ing things) and was very happy once it was over.

The narration was good. Both are new to me although they sounded familiar.

entertaining

Group therapy was referred to me, as helping professional I was not sure what this was about. I soon found out. lol

Love this audio so much!

It's been too long since I had a book that just made me feel.. good. I was laughing through the whole book and I blew through this in one sitting. I just couldn't put it down and I didn't want to. BB said that she initially wrote this book as a screenplay, and it is the FIRST book I have read that played out as a movie in my head. I usually insert myself into each book, but I read this book like a movie and it was magical for me.
Lou is finishing up her psychology degree and needs this job to get her final recommendation. When her boss asks her to take on a client she wasn't intended for, AND NOT SCREW THIS UP, she is ready for anything. Until she sees her favorite, and yes HOT, author Thomas O'Reardon. Not only does she read all his books, she has them all, on her bookshelf, in her office. When he comes in for his session, sparks fly immediately, but she doesn't want to be a total fangirl and her job depends on this.
Thomas doesn't believe this "creative psychologist" can get him over his writers block, but the next six weeks might be bearable if he can just have some fun while he's in town. As soon as Lou suggests Group Therapy, he is leery, but willing to hear her out.
After the first session, it is clear that being in the room with all these crazy (they are, we can't lie here to be PC) people might just be what he needs, especially if he gets to spend time with Lou.
The story is outlandish and the ending had me laughing out loud at the insanity, but it was so fun. When I say there's no angst, there really isn't any. I was wishing for just a bit I guess, but that is just me being broody and emo.

Super RomCom Story

This was my first experience with B.B. Easton's work, and it was fun, but I'm stating this with some reservations. I enjoyed the humor, the wit, and the snarky comments. The romance had all the swoony feels and necessary posturing to ensure a good story. I did have problems with the questionable ethical actions of the protagonist. When some characters were acting overtly juvenile, the scene was too over-the-top for my practical self. Ramona Master's and Liam Price's dual narrations were great and added to the story's entertainment. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Quirky off-beat Rom-Com

A thoroughly engaging, laughter filled, rom-com from BB Easton, that I completely and utterly enjoyed. This audio is unexpected, refreshing and quite different. The characters are definitely left-field and quirky, and overall I had a great listening experience with this book.

Lou, having had a unconventional upbringing, is now an almost qualified psychologist. Thomas is a successful author suffering a severe case of writers block, with a serious publishing deadline hanging over him. Lou is given Thomas as a patient with the objective of helping him move past his writers block. Lou just needs to help Thomas, and then she's qualified. It sounds so easy, but that doesn't account for a therapy group that is full of colourful, lively and endearing patients, plus some major chemistry between Lou and Thomas. It's all a bit bizarre, with a lot of eccentric characters, but definitely worth all the craziness for a perfect feel-good book.

If you're looking for something a bit different, that's very entertaining, has heart, wit and warmth, and isn't a conventional love story, then I'd definitely recommend this novel.

Laugh out loud, steamy romance!

Just when she thinks she is about to get her PhD, Luna Sterling is handed an impossible task. Get the author's writing block unblocked. And not only is this next to impossible, the author is her favorite! Thomas O'Reardon writes the best horror stories, addicting the reader and the biggest obstacle Luna faces is their attraction to each other. What better way for this unsuspecting couple to get through the problem than with group therapy. And the laughs begin. Not only is the passion high, BB Easton brings a cast of people that are so different, each quirky and unable to get through their own issues without her help. Now the group is meeting, and the banter is hysterical! Unorthodox methods lead to problems though. Will Lou get her PhD? Will Thomas's writer's block be removed? And will they give into the undying attraction that is so evidently there? Easton's style of writing will have you laughing, falling in love and your passion flared. Luna is a fantastic character. She is focused, knows what she wants and is trying her best to get there without failing. Thomas is a bit stubborn, and I think he met his match with Luna as well as the other patients. This is fun listen, full of giggles and spice.

Ramona Master and Liam Price use their comedic talents with this one! Master is always spot on with her characters, finding their essence and bringing them to life. Luna is feisty, headstrong and vulnerable all at the same time! Master is all that and more! Thomas is obstinate, unfocused and lovable. Price finds his stride bringing witty banter and charm. It's a wonderful listen.

I loved this story

I am a massive fan of BB Easton and this book did not disappoint. It had me laughing out loud but also hand my heart breaking.

I would highly recommend this.

Where to start?

I always feel like this after BBs books. They are written with so much personality and so much humour in them it’s refreshing listening to them. Ramona is absolutely perfect to portray the madness in these characters. A fantastic performance from both narrators and a very well written book well done guys.

So funny!

I was gifted this audio by the author’s team in exchange for a honest review.

This book follows Lou, a therapist who ends up having to help the author of her dreams with a writer’s block. She’s had posters of him (proper fangirling) and now he’s there, in her office, seeking her help! Will her dreams come true?

I can honestly say I haven’t had such a laugh reading in a long time! The situations Lou gets herself into, her therapy clients, her friend, the secretary… they’re all incredibly entertaining. I totally recommend it!
