Summary
My dick can be a real bastard sometimes. When he takes charge, I’ve been known to do a lot of stupid shit, despite the fact I have a genius IQ. Case in point: How I met the woman of my dreams.
Now, I’m going to let you in on a little secret: I don’t regret that moment of idiocy one bit. It may have been one of the most embarrassing moments of my life, but you know what they say about first impressions, right? Well, I can guarantee that I made quite the impression that evening. (Don't worry; I’ll tell you all the gory details later.)
Most days, she acts like she hates me - probably because I behave like an ass - but we both know the truth: Rainey O’Neil wants me just as much as I want her - she just doesn’t want to admit it.
Good thing I’ve never been one to back down from a challenge.
Deal Takers is the second installment in the Dealing with Love world but can be listened to as a stand-alone.

Stands alone but maybe better as 2nd in series
I haven't read/listened to any other stories in the Dealing with Love series. This was actually my first book by Laura Lee. Deal Takers does stand alone, but I suspect that characters from the first story feature prominently in this one.
This story was difficult to listen to in shorter timeframes (30-60 minute commutes) because the time setting of the story jumps around and at times it was almost impossible to determine how much time had just passed since the last chapter, or even in the overall timeline. I tried to judge it by the age of the child, but it was still tough. It might have been less of an issue in print (where you could easily look back) or if I listened for longer periods of time at once. Normally I prefer relationships that develop over time (like the one in this story), but I would have preferred to just start at the beginning and say "3 months later" or "1 year later" instead of going back from present time. Maybe it works better as-is if you've read the first book in the series, but I read this one as a stand alone.
The narrator was really good. It would have been nice to have both a male and female for the dual points of view since the characters address the reader directly, or possibly even just a male narrator because it seemed like the story was told more often from the male point of view (even the book description is from the male point of view). That being said, Stephanie Murphy made the story interesting to listen to.
Overall, I liked that it was a super slow burn for the relationship.

So much fun!
I love to listen to a book and just sit back and enjoy it. Not a lot of angst, but a good story and if funny, that is just a plus. Laura Lee hits all those buttons with this second book in her Dealing with Love series. Brody meets Rainey in the hospital under unusual circumstances. He is smitten with her, but she is not interested. They run in mutual circles so over several years, they spend time together, and Brody never lets up. Their flirty banter is so funny and entertaining, it really makes the book fly by. I loved every minute of this adventure. Rainey is quite the woman. I find her very easy to relate to, thinking she knows what she wants, but finds out things are not always what they are cracked up to be. Brody is every girl's dream. The good looking, smart and tenacious, unrelenting man that never gives up. It flits back and forth in time, but is easy to follow and lets us get a good understanding of their relationship. Once you start this gem, you will not want to stop, it's that good!
Stephanie Murphy is the narrator and she is so talented. Her comedic timing is spot on and I love her voices. She adds so much to the story with her performance and I really enjoyed it.

Great Book
Brody is such a playboy, and one such time gets him into an embarrassing situation. This story is entertaining and swoon worthy. I love the banter and chemistry between Brody and Rainey. So worth the time to listen and read.

fun, steamy, sexy and sweet. Great narrator
This did make me laugh from the very first page when Brody ends up at the hospital with a not so little problem! It set up his attraction for maternity nurse Rainey. It also made my eyes roll with the man child, cocky, witty but innuendo riddled Brody who has named his cock and definitely has a breast infatuation!! I did love his very candid POV!
These two had serious chemistry and banter, but it was slow burn for a few years as Rainey refuses to give apparent man whore Brody a chance. After they make a secret friends with benefits deal, all bets are off. Or are they because Rainey has been let down so many times, can Brody persuade her that she's it for him?
This book is steamy, sexy, hot and funny if you like dirty talking and innuendos that were sometimes a bit OTT teenager, but it was fun, sweet and emotional too, told from dual pov.
I listened to the audio version and the female narrator was very expressive.
It was easy to listen to, not too much drama (apart from wanting to throttle Rainey towards the end for her crappy behaviour) and it made me laugh and smile and that was what I needed.

Light and fun... with some sexual tention!
***** AUDIOBOOK REVIEW *****
Laura Lee was a new author for me. I enjoyed Deal Takers! It was this sweat as pie and tickle you pink kind of romantic comedy. I really appreciated that. I found myself smiling wistfully throughout the entire audiobook. I like the light-heartedness of it. It’s definitely appreciated after some of the deeper books I’ve listened too. I really enjoy the funness in this story. Add the sexual chemistry, while it was crazy hot (like where’s the AC?) it was also fun. Brody and Rainey have this push pull thing happening until they become friends… until they become more!
The writing was great. It was light and fun. I felt like it was just a fun read and it was delightful. I loved how thorough Laura Lee created Brody. He totally felt like that cocky, full of himself guy that didn’t think the word no was meant for him… in a non-douchie way though. He was likable. The narrator, Stephanie Murphy, was pretty good too. I do wish we had duet or dual POV. I think it would have elevated the audiobook to full 5 stars. There are these books where it isn’t necessary because it’s pulled off by either the narrator or the author. There are times where is would kick it up a notch or two… this is one of those later situation.

Loved it!!
This book was hilarious!!!
I absolutely adored Brody, and Rainey’s reactions to him were awesome.
There was a bit of a heart wrenching part for Rainey when she found out something terrible, and the way she found it, too.
I laughed hard in many parts of this book, and aww’d in others.
Great story and great characters.
My only gripe, and has nothing to do with the story, is that when the POV was Brody, I sometimes thought it was Rainey.
Excellent book, though.

Freaking awesome
Their first meeting will go down in history as the meet-cute of awkwardness. It’s hilarious for so many reasons and it’s certainly setting the tone for this story. They will give you a ride through your emotions, laughing and swooning. They are freaking awesome friends for a long time and the perfect hot chemistry is building up to burst at a call-the-fire-department-level. But it’s not all fun and games and a guarded heart needs time to heal to finally trust what’s real.
I highly recommend this audiobook and as I started with the second book, I will go straight to Deal Breakers and enjoy their story.

Perfectly awesome!
I loved absolutely EVERYTHING about this audiobook. The meet cute was the best I had ever heard. I loved how the author provided both characters point of views. The humor and sexy scenes were top notch. The narrator was also at the top of her game. Loved her entire portrayal of the story. I can't wait to read the other characters stories!
