Summary

A dating experiment ignites a secret attraction in this steamy new rom-com from number one New York Times best-selling author Lauren Blakely!

Eight years ago I fell into a secret summer fling with my best friend’s little sister before our lives went in different directions. Now, I’m the grumpy to Juliet’s sunshine on a popular dating podcast we host, and when a wealthy fan gives us a charming coastal cottage as the biggest thank you ever, we head to the town where I grew up to give it a makeover.

And find the house has only one bed.

Located under a mirrored ceiling.

To make matters even harder, the bright, big-hearted woman I’ve been pining for tells me she wants to try to find the one and would I please be her dating coach for the week?

Like hell I’ll let her date other men. I’ll coach her on three dates with me.

But the second I take her out, I don’t feel like her teacher. I feel like she’s mine, especially when the first night ends with us tangled up together in that bed.

Each night we grow closer, but this dating experiment forces me to face my greatest fear–whether a man like me is worthy of her love.

Even though I’m already head over heels for her.

It’s quite steamy….

Light reading predictable ending but still enjoyable. It is kind of a mills and boons style.

Fantastic, fun and steamy read/listen

Another great story by the author! Monroe and Juliet both struggle with their own inner turmoils and insecurities. But now they are back visiting the small town they re-met in 8 years ago. Will their relationship come full circle or will their doubts and insecurities win?...
Narrators were great too as always!

Excellent naration

Audiobook review

I think both narrator’s were excellent. However the story lacked a little for me. I just couldn’t get onboard with Monroe it felt like he was manipulating Juliet. Juliet was so trusting and sweet however Monroe was so closed off.

It got boring

It just was very hard to think Monroe would not just tell Juliet how he felt instead of being all ...wanting her to himself but not wanting to commit...very selfish . Juliet came across like she had the lowest self esteem ever to put up with his rubbish.

A lighthearted story

The story is very easy to digest, no big plot twists or unnecessary drama included. It's a light palette cleanser and overall pretty enjoyable to listen to. The only thing I was put off by was the way the narrators read the lines of the opposite sex, making the MMC somstimes sound like a cave troll and the FMC sound like your average high- pitched, pink wearing girlie. The choice of words in the sex scenes was at times cringe-worthy but apart from that the story was enjoyable enough to get past my dislikes.

Well, dual Pov hits different when the male's perspective is soooooo good

I was in the mood for a romance and well, damn, it served 🤭 The "experiment" got me giggling, wishing for more, curling my toes, loving every second of it.
I didn't quite understood the problem Monroe had, I would love for more info regarding the way he sees himself and why he thinks he can't serve the love he knows Juliet deserves, but 🤷‍♀️ it is what it is.
Nevertheless, his POV was soooo funny, so smart, so natural, I looooved him, I desperately want more of his POV .
The story was valid, well built and has something to tell, not a vacant story. This is why I love books like that . It has niiiice spicy, so yeah. Pretty much it had it all.

Definitely an easy going book for the summer, totally recommend it!

FYI of course I'm gonna search for the male narrators book hihihi 🤭🤭🤭

Raunchy love story

I really enjoyed the book it definitely grew on me… I didn’t love the males voice doing female voices but that’s my only gripe. I loved the romance and the openness of each character. I was surprised at how raunchy it was…hope the other books are similar

Monroe’s story

Part of the how to date series which I have loved so far. Im thrilled that I got to listen to this earlier than the ebook launch on the 27th June.
