Love...From Both Sides

Love…, Book 1

By: Nick Spalding

Narrated by: Heather Wilds, Napoleon Ryan

Length: 7 hrs and 36 mins

Publisher's summary

Sometimes, the hardest part of finding love is keeping a straight face...For Jamie Newman, being a single guy isn't proving to be much fun, especially when confronted with a sexually belligerent divorcee and a goddess so far out of his league she might as well be a different species.

Mind you, being a girl in search of love isn't a bowl of cherries either. Just ask Laura McIntyre, who's recently contended with a horny estate agent on a quest for light relief and a rabid mountain bike enthusiast with a penchant for lycra that leaves little to the imagination.

When Jamie and Laura bump into one another (quite literally) it looks like their luck may have changed - but sometimes finding the right person is only the start of your problems...

Love...From Both Sides is a warts-and-all romantic comedy for everyone who knows how tricky the quest for love can be.

Funny, funny writer.

You will enjoy this series of stories. You will be able to relate to his characters and the lives he created for them. The story will keep you smiling and occasionally laughing out loud.

Delightful and funny

The fajitas episode alone is worth the price of the book, but there is much, much more.

Funny

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I listened to this book at work with hidden head phones, don't do this. I was laughing out loud and my coworkers thought I was crazy.

Fun frolic filled with dating misadventures

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. It was light, funny, and filled with the embarrassing things that can happen when two people are trying to find each other. Definitely a beach read (or listen). Sometimes you just want something that's easy to digest, and quite entertaining. Nick Spalding has that down in spades.

Thank you for correctly referring to Type 2 Diabetes :)

I enjoyed the book. It was definitely funny and entertaining. I wouldn't have left a review until I heard the reference, used correctly to Type 2 Diabetes. As a mom of a 7 year old son with Type 1, I'm always listening to general references to diabetes and they make me sad, for many reasons. Although Type 2 can also be genetic and many times is no one's "fault" I was pleased you added the Type 2 in there since you chose to mention diabetes. Thank you!

Lol multiple times

omg there are so many funny moments in the book. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Stupid Funny!!!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Love...From Both Sides to be better than the print version?

I don't think a print version could give you the same effect. This book was hysterical..........

What was one of the most memorable moments of Love...From Both Sides?

The cat scene was too ridiculous... I had to get my husband to listen...........cracked us up!

Which character – as performed by Heather Wilds and Napoleon Ryan – was your favorite?

Jamie read by Napoleon Ryan was my favorite.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The narration was so good I ended up getting the other two books in the series. I will listen to it again. I laughed throughout the book.

Any additional comments?

Worth the credit.

Both sides of me love this book

Nick Spalding invents characters which are like people I honestly wish I knew or lived in my life. Maybe I just covet that I want to be as clever, beguiling and funny as hell as his characters… If a genie gave me a wish, I would want Nick to write me my life over, especially back in my 20’s!

So said, this book is definitely one of his more “crude” and lad-like novels. But the humor is oversized & rakishly funny -especially with narrators Napoleon Ryan and Heather Wilds at the helm.

Another winner by Nick Spalding!

After reading Bricking It and Fat Chance, I am in love with Nick Spalding's cheeky British stories. He offers real sweetness with his raunchy British humor.
