Publisher's summary

From New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Kendall Ryan comes a new story in her Room Mate series....

I might be a typical guy, but these last few years, my love life's been anything but. From crazy ex-girlfriends to one night stands who are stage-five clingers, my relationships go bad faster than the milk in your fridge. The only constant has been my best friend Maggie.

Fresh off a bad breakup of her own, I invite Maggie to my guy's skiing weekend knowing she needs an escape from reality. But then something funny starts to happen. I start noticing things about her that I never noticed before.

She's beautiful and doesn't know it, she's funny without even trying, and now she's suddenly single for the first time in forever.

Sharing a hotel room with her proves to be the tipping point in our very platonic friendship. Suddenly I want to put my hands, my mouth, and my ... other parts ... all over her gorgeous body. I want to claim her, make sure no man touches her ever again. But then her groveling ex shows up, and Maggie's torn.

Am I ready to screw up the best relationship I've ever had for a shot at something more?

Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new listeners, it's an introduction to an author's world. And for fans, it's a bonus book in the author's series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.

C blocked by room service

So sweet of a listen. It’s everything you want in a book and then some. Even the fact that it’s short won’t bother you once you start. Best friends can never go wrong.

Awesome friends to lovers novella!

Love the “Roommates” series, and this novella was no exception. Kendall Ryan writes such “feel-good” stories that you just love to read. The relationships between Maggie and Sam was so sweet...best friends since college and always there for each other. Their deeper feelings hidden just beneath the surface had to be exposed at some point, didn’t they?
Fantastic HEA!
And as always, Ava and Jeremy did a superb job with their narration - making all the feelings come to life! I could listen to both or either of them all day!

The Bed Mate

This is one of the best novellas of the year for me. Friends to lovers, so sweet! Sam and Maggie are the perfect fit for each other. It just takes them a little bit to get out of their heads to see what's right in front of them. Their slow build will pull you in and have you routing for them from the very beginning!! Jeremy and Ava really pull out the chemistry that makes these characters so perfect! They were awesome and the best picks ever for this story!

Quick, sweet, & steamy friends to lovers.

Two best friends have always had a bond that was strong and seemed to go beyond friendship. But neither have acknowledged it. After 8 years, and both newly single, they begin to admit their feelings to themselves and finally each other.

The Bed Mate was everything that I’ve come to expect and love from Kendall Ryan. A quick, friends to lovers romance that packed plenty of sweetness and steam wrapped up in a novella size morsel of audiobook goodness.

Narration by Jeremy York and Ava Erickson was great. Together they brought out the sweet and swoon factor! I only wish it was at least twice as long. 4 stars.

Kinda Creepy

I read the Bed Mate’s series and didn’t get to write a review. So, here it is. I didn’t care for Jeremy York’s voice for any of the male characters. It reminded me of Anthony Perkins from psycho! Just creepy! But everything else was great!
