Publisher's summary

A fiery new enemies-to-lovers, second chance stand-alone romance from number-one New York Times best seller Lauren Blakely performed by Andi Arndt and Jason Clarke, with Sebastian York! Enjoy appearances from Zachary Webber, Shane East, and Erin Mallon in this delicious romance!

Lucas Xavier is the last person I want to spend 24 hours with, let alone two minutes. Exes are exes for a reason. In his case, for a million reasons. Because he's not only an ex-lover, he's also an ex-friend. We didn't just break up - we combusted in a spectacular bonfire of barbs and doors slammed.

Nothing will change that. Not his clever wit, not his ridiculous good looks, not his unfair levels of charm. And definitely not a wild dash through the city that takes us on an accidental scavenger hunt through our past, where we stop for a tango lesson, pancakes and a visit with some llamas.

And certainly not time together to make amends and say we're sorry.

But, let's say that was enough...it's not like you can fall in love in 24 hours.

Can you?

This audio book contains a bonus novella! Debuting first in audio is Your French Kisses, a stand-alone novelette in the Boyfriend Material series, performed by Shane East and Erin Mallon.

The narrators!!

It’s one thing to listen to a good book read by one narrator, and better when there are two.

But all of my faves narrating one book?? Outstanding!

The story was pretty great, too. Lauren Blakely is definitely one of my favorite romance authors.

truly great read

fabulous, love having several voices!
makes the read better. kept my interest throughout the book.

Absolutely loved this book!

One Night Stand-In was a fabulous second chance romance. This book was funny, steamy and never a dull moment. When Lucas and Lola have to work together to go on a scavenger hunt to save the belongings of their love struck siblings, they have to put their own past feelings of passion and hurt behind them. You will love finding out just how and what is uncovered on this journey!

The cast of narrators did an amazing job!

Second chance for romance

Lucas and Lola were friends ten years ago but a misunderstanding drove them apart. His brother and her sister are a couple and need their help in getting their things back from their landlord. As they begin the weekend together in a scavenger hunt for the items, they rediscover their friendship and love. Another wonderful story from Lauren Blakely with fabulous narration by Andi Arndt and Jason Clarke with appearances from Sebastian York, Zachary Webber, Shane East and Erin Mallon. There's also a novella at the end, Your French Kisses.

loved it & the novella too

once again I have been thoroughly entertained! is the novella a full length book? I will look for it because I want to hear more of their story.

LOVE books with all the narrators!!

It makes any book just more fun when there is a cornucopia of top notch narrators taking us on this ride. Add in Star Wars references and confirmation that Die Hard is a Christmas Movie - and this book is just plain fun and a new favorite. I love Love LOVE the narration on this one. And did I mention the occasional Star Wars reference? That makes it so true to (my) life.

The premise of a scavenger hunt is intriguing, because let's face it, once you grow up you don't get to do fun things like that anymore, and SebYo as the game master was hilarious. Andi and Jason have been so fantastic through this series as well - just can't go wrong there. Webber, East and Mallon are only missing Arden to round out a perfect supporting cast. (my lone disappointment on this book).

Reading this book might be great, but the narration will bring it to a whole other level that can't compare.

Scavenger hunts are the best

What fun a scavenger hunt can be or could be if it wasn't trying to find your sister's possessions and it wasn't having to do it with your ex-boyfriend that is now your enemy.

Lola does everything for her sister Luna but this is asking a little too much. Not only does she not have the time but she also doesn't know if her heart can deal with working with Lucas to run around the city to find the items their crazy landlord hid. Who does that? An over-the-top man finds it amusing to take her sister and her boyfriend's personal belongings and hid them all over the city in places they argued about. Now Lola and Lucas must work together to find said items in the time frame allowed and not go crazy in the process.

Lucas will do anything his brother needs him to do but can he do this? Lola was once his everything and time changed that can he work with her to help his brother out, sure he can or he hopes he can.

This was a fun book and brought these two former lovers back together. I enjoyed tagging along with Lucas and Lola as they found their way not only to Luna and Rowan's items but back to where they belonged. You wonder who is pulling the puppet strings from time to time but it's just fun to travel with them on this journey. They both have their reasons for being over-eager toward their spoiled siblings and it's enduring.

As with many of Lauren Blakely's books, the characters live in New York so I love how the author takes me there with her words. I feel as though I am with the characters as they get their coffee or go to the bowling alley or walk down the sidewalk. I always come away with a sense of being there in the story which says volumes about her skill as a writer. When an author can take you on a journey with the characters and you feel you are with them it's a great book for me. I really enjoyed it and recommend this book.

Narration is perfection. The cast does a fantastic job and I loved listening to them. There is a bonus novella at the end too. Swoon!!!

Absolutely Phenomenal

Nothing shy of expectation. Beautiful story line and amazing narrators brought the book to life. love love love it.

Up All Night Read

Like most of Blakely’s books, readers won’t want to put this book down. You could be up all night listening to this indulgent treat.

So Many Smiles!!!

Have you ever listened to a book and smiled from beginning to the very end? That’s what this book did to me – all the love and smiles from the opening dialogue to final wrap-up. Lucas and Lola had the friendship – headed to lovers relationship gone bad, but now cannot avoid each other when their respective siblings need their help. Ms. Blakely’s ability to tell this love story that happens in the midst of a scavenger hunt is romantic comedy perfection. She weaves a tale that has just enough historic detail to not overwhelm the reader, while setting the stage for what will happen next. And let’s face it, there’s nothing better than listening to two people want each other and try to talk themselves out of it – it’s comedy & romance gold!

Speaking of Gold – the narration on this book is PERFECTION to the extreme! The words were written for the narrators as the cast shines! We begin with some lovely banter between Lucas (Jason Clarke) and Reed (Shane East). Lola (Andi Arndt) confides to her best friends Amy & Payton and surprise we have Peter the Rollerblade dude show up (Erin Mallon). The landlord who starts this scavenger hunt is grumpy, but funny (Sebastian York) and the spazzy brother to Lucas gets to pop in with his off the wall discussions (Zachary Webber). How could audiobook lovers not want this book in the repeat pile with all this talent and words of love!?!
Five stars is not enough for a book that is so perfectly executed to give a HEA while weaving in characters from previous books at hinting at future storylines. All the stars for all the smiles!!!
