Snagging a date?

Not a problem.

But one that meets my special requirements?

As the premier best-man-for hire in all of Manhattan, I promise discretion, so when I need a plus one for a couple of I dos, she needs to be A-Plus in reliability. Fortunately, I have a brilliant solution in asking my best friend's sister to go on my arm. Truly is my good friend, too, and I trust her completely.

Just look how discreet she's been about the time we spent the night together. But, it was only once, and it was months ago. We've been the souls of restraint ever since. I'm sure we can make it through these weddings without banging each other in the limo. Probably.

Plus, she needs my help with a business proposal.

A little I'll-scratch-your-back-you-scratch-mine doesn't have to lead to the bedroom, right?

Good thing we know our way around the friend zone. The treacherous, torturous all-too-easy to slide out of friend zone.

*This special production also includes a behind-the-scenes conversation with Andi Arndt and Shane East as well as a blooper reel!*

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Must be listened to on Audible!!

This book on audio was fantastic! I have only one complaint. Not enough Zachary Webber!! I’ve read two back and forth character audio books and they really take it to a new great level! Lauren Blakely IS the best. Sometimes she even makes me LOL. Keep them coming Ms. Blakely just let Mr. Webber narrate. :) (like the great The Real Deal).

Fantastic

The multicast was fantastic. Lauren Blakey is such a great writer and to assemble all these amazing narrators for the book was just phenomenal. So worth a credit.

Phenomenal!

This is a well anticipated book, Story itself is a typical Lauren Blakely MO, and with that it is hilariously entertaining. What makes this audio book special is the multi casts narration. What a dream to listen to it. What a treat to her fans, followers and to be able to enjoy this elite of talents/actors/narrators in one book. It's Phenomenal! Bravo to all of you! I hope there is more of this kind to come. A dream team, From the author's talented writing to a superb casts, it is truly spectacular!. Congratulations to all!

Great narration!

The book was great and the narration brought it to life. All the characters from the previous book kept it interesting.

Amazing job by all the narrators!! Fun sexy sense of humor.

If only more books with multiple narrators were spoken so well! Or just the fact that the men are speaking male parts and a woman speaking female parts. It’s so frustrating as a listener when there’s a male & female role yet instead of each speaking their parts the male tries to fumble through the female lines and vise versa. Not the case with this series! I’m excited to get to the next book. Good true to life experience story as well as fun, sexy sense of humor to the series so far. Lauren Blakey Is one of my favorite authors! I must say you’ve risen my expectations now with multiple narrators. Keep up the great work, you never disappoint.

Super entertaining!

Another great one from Lauren Blakely. I usually only listen to an audio book once or possibly twice. No offense to any authors or narrators out there. But, the way POV's change with this cast is so entertaining, I'm sure this book will be listened to time and time again. Great writing and acting on everyone's part!
