Story4.5 out of 5 stars 76
Large and in charge? Honey, I'm the biggest, baddest, mother pucking-est machine to ever own the ice. I shoot. I score. In and out of the rink. I don't come early, but I come often, if you know what I mean. And I always leave the ladies wanting more. Until that chick last night. I'm no one-thrust wonder, and you're damn right I'm going to prove to her I can do better. But every time I think I'm finally on my way back into her pants, she one-ups and out-balls me. I should cut my losses, lick my wounds, and walk away. But Zeus Berger doesn't walk away from anything.

Story4 out of 5 stars 2
I’d been dreading my flight back to the UK after a much-needed visit home. Meeting Alessandro made the trip a hell of a lot better. He was sexy. Gorgeous. Italian. A professor. Exactly what I needed to forget the constant ache in my chest. We lost ourselves in one another during those long hours in the air. He was a dream come true. Or so I thought. Professor McJerk had changed from the man I’d met on the plane. This cold, arrogant, and rude version introduced a new level of torture into my life.

I was only trying to help a friend. I swear. I was legit asking for a friend who was finally ready to date again. So I did what any good friend would do. Posted it for her. It seemed like a good idea at the time - I’d weed through the candidates, and bring her my top picks. But then he responded. Is it wrong to date the guy I screened for my bestie? Not asking for a friend.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 159
He is the one that never looks her way. He is handsome and strong. He is rough around the edges and mean. He is everything she’s ever wanted. He doesn’t even know she exists. Her life is a joke. She doesn’t step on cracks in the sidewalk. She laughs at inappropriate times. She talks when she shouldn’t. She is clumsy and trips on air. She is finally on his radar. God help her now.

Terminated for inappropriate behavior. I couldn’t believe the letter in my hands. Nine years. Nine damn years I’d worked my butt off for one of the largest companies in America, and I was fired with a form letter when I returned home from a week in Aruba. All because of a video taken when I was on vacation with my friends - a private video made on my private time. Or so I thought.... I cracked open a bottle of wine and wrote my own letter to the gazillionaire CEO telling him what I thought of his company. I didn’t think he’d actually respond.

Piper Mackenzie first sees him shirtless, standing in front of the military plane she was about to board, with one rather large wrench in his hand. The fact that he has the plane - the one that she’s about to be flying on for hours - in pieces only minutes before she’s set to take off on it doesn’t faze her. At least, not until a flippant joke about dying in midair leaves his lips.

In the morning, she was gone and had taken my solace with her. I left for the military that day, vowing never to return to Pennsylvania. When my father dies, I’m forced to go home to bury him. At least I'll finally be rid of his farm, which is grown over and tangled with memories I've fought to forget. And that’s when I find her. She’s even more beautiful than I remember and has the most adorable kid I’ve ever seen. Years have passed, but my feelings are the same, and this time I refuse to let her go. They say you can't bury the past, and they're right.

Emily’s entire existence is wrapped up in touring with her up-and-coming country rock band Carolina George and trying to build them into a music legend. Her passionate night with a gorgeous, tattooed bad boy was the result of too much time on the road, too much tequila and combustible physical chemistry. It was never supposed to follow her into the light of day, much less threaten everything she and the band have worked so hard to create.

Top three reasons why sleeping with the enemy is a bad idea.... 1. She's my fiercest rival. 2. She's also my fiery ex. 3. We're going up against each other in a stiff competition to win the hottest new client on the market. And yet, I'd like to be up against the wall in a stiff competition to get her to call out my name. Time to double down on my resistance to her tough-as-nails, take-no-prisoners, sexy-as-sin attitude. The same attitude I find irresistible. That's a big problem.

Publisher's Summary
Note: My Charming Rival was previously released as Stars in Their Eyes. It has now been updated and turned into a duet.
To do list: graduate with honors, get into medical school, and snag the most sought-after celebrity photo of all time to cover my tuition. One more thing - resist the hot British guy who's my biggest rival.
But from the first day I run into William on his motorcycle, he makes that difficult, since he's flirty, charming, clever, and keeps trying to convince me to spend the night with him.
Trust me - stripping him down to nothing is on my wish list, but I can't let him get under my skin as I chase cheating directors and stake out clandestine trysts. Yet everywhere I go, my most charming rival is there - is he following me, trying to woo me, or aiming to sabotage my plans?
When I'm offered a brand new ticket to my dreams, I have to decide if I want to team up with the sexiest enemy ever.... Except there's a third option too - and that one's looking mighty appealing - if I'm willing to take a crazy chance.
My Charming Rival is book one. The story continues in My Sexy Rival.

not your standard LB
CLIFFHANGER ALERT ..the story took a long time to get going and then it just ends rather abruptly. The characters were a bit flat and not quite fleshed out by the end of the 4 hour book. The development was slow and the chemistry was a bit lacking. I usually love LB but this book was just a bit meh... glad it was an Audibles Escape option. (sorry Lauren but I was just not feeling it with this one).
The narrators are among my favorites so it helped keep me listening.

Charming!
Interesting book, I just listened to a book where the main characters didn’t have any chemistry I am sooo very happy it didn’t happen to me two times. This book had the chemistry! This is exactly what I love about romance, even in the slow burn type of books. I want the main characters to want, to want each other.
The ending oh boy somebody has some explaining to do…..
I do like that Jess has insecurities, it makes her relatable. I like that Lauren didn’t give her too many and that it wasn’t harped on it was just a fact.
William is an interesting character and I love that he knows so many different languages for some reason that makes me like him more than I already did.
I LOVE the narration, these are two of my favorite narrators and I love that ZWebber can do the accent justice.

1/2 of Audiobook
I enjoy Lauren Blakely's books but it's so annoying when the split a book into 2 or 3 books just for more revenue, which is exactly the situation for this Rival series. You can hardly call My Charming Rival a full novel thus it's hardly worth a full credit. I'm glad it's part of Audible Escape or it would be extremely disappointing.

Gahhh!! Tough to review!
I generally love Lauren Blakely audiobooks and can't wait to dive into them. But My Charming Rival fell flat for me. I felt like this entire audiobook could have been reduced and/or condensed and added into the second book in the series. I get the cliffhanger and it was a good one. But so little happened in this book that if it hadn't been two of my favorite narrators, I might have not finished. Let me just clarify, it isn't bad persay, but I feel like I was kind of cheated out of a story. Even with it being a duet with a cliffhanger, it seemed like it wasn't a full book. Just a bit bummed and not used to this from Lauren Blakely.

Glad I have book 2 as it is a cliffhanger. But it is a good story. Lauren Blakely can always be counted on for a good story though. And Zachary and Saskia are always great!!!

Disappointed!
I was soooo disappointed that the book just ended leaving you not knowing the end. I am a HUGE fan of Lauren's and read/listen to at least 3 books of hers a month but I have to say that this one left me feeling shocked that it just ended when it did.

a little convoluted
This story is a bit convoluted with the characters, Jess and Will playing as paparazzi for their own gain. But so many names are mentioned, there's very little in terms of emotional attachment developed for the characters, in my opinion. There is a cliffhanger so perhaps the story finishes in such a way that builds more of a connection with the characters but I won't be rushing to listen! However, Lauren Blakely has extremely good books so if this is your first book by her, try others.
You can't get a narrator better than Zachary Webber. He did a great accent and was able to flow seamlessly between the accented voice and the non-accented voices. Saskia also did quite well with the different characters so there narration is excellent overall. If only the story was better!

Twists & Turns.
The 2 main characters do not have chemistry...well, it’s not like off the charts. Yup, it’s not Lauren Blakely’s writing style however I think she pulled it off quite well. It didn’t really need too much of romance considering the storyplot was quite cute, interesting, entertaining, & a bit of a mystery. I did love the twists & turns in the book. It was a page turner for me. I got the 2nd book and so, I am ok with that cliff hanger. LOL.
