The Flirting Game

De: Lauren Blakely

Narrado por: Sean Masters, Brooke Bloomingdale

Score big with this spicy, laugh-out-loud hockey rom-com with duet narration, from number one New York Times best-selling author Lauren Blakely!

My new neighbor is a hot, grumpy hockey player who works out shirtless on his porch every morning. But it’s not technically spying if I just happen to be on my patio at the same time ... right?

Imagine my surprise when the sexy grouch turns out to be the client who just hired me to redecorate the house he’s giving his mom.

What’s a ray of sunshine like me to do? Pretend I’ve never noticed his abs while we pick out furniture—since I’d never date a client. And Ford Devon? He’s made it clear this is his final season, and he wants zero distractions.

Which means I need to exercise some serious resistance ...

To his cool blue eyes that track my every move.

To that deep voice that makes me shiver.

And to the mouth that shuts me up one night in our shared backyard with a scorching kiss.

Oops.

We agree it’s a one-time slip up. But when he insists on being my date to my cheating ex’s party ... we slip up again into a very fun sleepover. With our dogs watching!

One fake date at a charity gala turns into another at a hockey game, and somewhere between fabric swatches and porch picnics, I stop pretending.

But how do I convince Ford that with me, he can have both love and hockey?

Great book!

Oh how I enjoyed Ford & Skylar along with their four-legged sweeties. This was the perfect blend of sweet & spice topped with sassy banter! The narrators expertly brought these characters to life.

Skylar and Ford

Loved this story!! It was relatable and I loved the personalities of the mail characters.

Sweet and spicy!

This story may be the perfect balance of slow burn, quick-whitted banter, heat, and just a little bit of angst. The narrators are on point and bring this sweet story to life. And the dogs are the perfect supporting characters! I loved it!!!

Pretty good

Very sweet story
Very romantic I’d wish they put more stories in
Plus catalog they always put the bad stories or virtual voice

I liked it

Too long but it was so so. MmmKiked the male but need to love him

Such an AMAZING BOOK!

I love this book in many ways! It kept me engaged at all times! This romance book is a must to listen to!

Sweet love story

I loved it! Light and sweet and the doggy’s are great!! I also loved the voices. Very easy to listen to.

I absolutely loved Ford & Skylar's story!

I absolutely loved Ford & Skylar's story! I adore how author Lauren Blakely includes such adorable pets in her books. This book was so sweet and no one does sassy banter like Blakely. Narrators Sean Masters and Brooke Bloomindale gave excellent performances and added so much to the story for me. I listened at 1.3X speed and found it perfectly conversational.

Just PERFECT

THIS book. The writing...amazing. The plot...wonderful. The spicy scenes.... well f*ck. It's in a way a hockey romance but equally shows passions of both main characters. The humor is perfect. You will get enticed. Only to find out there's a whole damn series (can be read as stand alones).

Perfect Amount of Spice and Sexual Tension!

This one got me. Maybe it was just the edible I had taken lol, but I actually did cry at the end! I REALLY enjoy Lauren Blakely's (relatively) low drama steamy romance stories.

Don't get me wrong, I also love the romantasy "you're my political enemy and I can't be king and save all my people if we stay together" stuff, but knowing ahead of time that nothing huge or heartbreaking is going to happen is a much needed alternative.

The flirting got a tad silly and cringey a couple times, but what's not realistic about that lol?? Highly recommend this and the other Lauren Blakely that I've read so far!
