About this listen

Indulge in a sexy stand-alone romance performed with duet narration from Andi Arndt and Joe Arden and with special appearances from Emma Wilder and Tony Award winner Santino Fontana!

It should be an easy rule to follow - don't bang your boss.... But I didn't know who he was when I met him. And the first time I saw him, our connection sounded like the stuff of romantic legends - that whole "their eyes locked across a crowded room" moment that turned into more.

I didn't believe it...until it happened to me. Fine, the charming, clever, sexy-as-sin guy in the tailored suit was only trying to buy the same Snoopy lunchbox (as a gift!), but still, our eyes totally locked, and my lady parts definitely tingled as we vied for the prize. Naturally, I did what any badass business woman would do. Negotiated for the lunchbox, then found my what-if guy online and made plans to see him the next night. One night only - that was the deal we made.

But one fantastic night had us both changing our minds in the morning. And making plans for another. Until I walked into the office to learn he just bought my company.

And here's the biggest rule of romantic legends - no matter what, don't bang your boss. Especially if you're already falling for him.

A rom com with cattitude

This is a rom-com but with a lot of heat! A sexy single dad and a sexy single woman about town! A chance meeting and a HOT date and let the festivities commence. I had the fan out from when i was blushing and laughing so much.
I find with Lauren Blakely that she hand picks her narrators to bring out the best in her characters. THIS is no different, Andi and Joe were perfect in their roles as Bryn and Logan, throw in Santino Fontana & Emma Wilder who practically purred her way through her chapters and you have a hit!

Buying a lunchbox has never been so much fun!

Joe Arden, Andi Arndt, Santino Fontana and Emma Wilder narrated this audiobook out of the park!!!!

I'm still grinning to myself thinking about this lovely story, it has a little bit of a Sliding Doors movie feel to it, but obviously this wouldn't be a love story if the 2 MC's never met would it?

A perfect story that won't just last you one night, it will be with you forever!

All hail the fall of the cat resistance

What a heartwarming, sweet, sexy and completely feel good rom com. It’s definitely got the five key components to not only a forever relationship, but to the perfect romance novel. Trust, honesty, laughter and great sex, oh, and don’t forget love. Add in those pussy cats Queen LaTofu and Bruce, and you can’t help but have a little smile on your face as you read. A wonderful story, nothing new, they meet, they indulge in a passionate night, and then bam, they find out he’s going to be her new boss. Of course there’s much more to it than that, and of course Lauren Blakeley puts her own spin on it, in the best possible way. I love how her books all intermingle, all my favourite previous book boyfriends and their loves popping up in and amongst, it makes me feel connected to the characters more. I could not get enough of Bryn and Logan, I swear there wasn’t a mean bone in either of their bodies. They were truly adorable, witty, I loved them and their group of friends. The cats also get their own epilogues, priceless. A truly addictive read.
The audio version is a dream, as always Lauren Blakeley has the best narrators, as well as Joe Arden and Andi Arndt narrating Logan and Bryn in duet, we also have the cats getting their own narrators, Emma Wilder and Santino Fontana. Add in at the end a preview of a A Guy Walks into my Bar, a fireside chat with Joe Arden and Andi Arndt, and a blooper real, and I’d say it was the perfect end to this perfect audio.

Sexy, flirty, and swoony

Single dad stories are my kryptonite. So I knew this book was going to be a must listen and it was everything I could have hoped for right now. Logan is such a swoonfest, he’s charming and sexy—hello suit and tats—he’s funny, and is an attentive father. Oh, did I forget to mention the dirty talk? My bad. Because he is so good at it. What's not to like?
Bryn is the type of woman you want to be your friend. She's funny and sweet. I loved that she not only respected Logan’s relationship with his daughter but cherished it.
Logan and Bryn’s first meeting is one for the record books, I just loved the serendipitous of it. Their chemistry was palpable from the get-go, and I was so pleased they found each other again. Their first night turned that heat factor up to ten! And it never really came down, they were explosive together. But more than that, I loved how they connected on a personal level, talked and understood each other's vulnerabilities. Their banter was spot on, and as you know, I love me some good banter.

In typical Lauren fashion, she hooks the reader/ listener from early on with addictive storytelling, swoony romance, and witty banter. Lauren knows how to keep those pages turning or in my case, keep me listening well into the early hours of the morning. This book is steamy and has low angst, which I loved. It's funny and charming. It is the type of feelgood storytelling that we need in the world right now. It's definitely going on my summer must listens list.


Let me be really real with you. When I heard this book had cats in it...as characters with their own chapters, I had a WTF moment. Then I heard the chapters, and they were fantastic and really added to the story. The difference between Bruce and Queen LaTofu and how they viewed their catdom was hilarious. It just goes to show that our gut reaction isn't always right, sometimes we have to experience something new and different to find out how much fun it is. And the cat chapters were complete fun. I will never look at my own cat the same way again.

Joe Arden and Andi Arndt were fantastic. The story is performed in duet, everyone knows I’m a huge fan of duet narration and this one doesn't disappoint. The cats, Brue and Queen LaTofu are performed by Santino Fontana and Emma Wilder and it worked so perfectly. Newcomer, Connor Crais makes a cameo - I'll leave you to discover where, but it gives you a good peek at his range, and I'll tell you, this girl is ready for more! Joe was just brilliant as the dirty talking, Logan. His little girl voice is sweet and didn't feel like overkill, and his dad scenes were just enough to make a person melt. Then he hit me with a ’sweetheart’ and my swoon meter broke. I don't think there could have been anyone better for this character. I might have had a tiny little issue with one of the voice, but I believe that to be a personal taste thing. His voice complemented Andi’s perfectly. Andi is the feisty lady boss, Bryn, who she narrates with such a beautiful balance of sass and vulnerability that it was a joy to listen to. The production was flawless.

You get a few bonus features with this baby. Bloopers. A sneak peek of A Guy Walks Into A Bar, Lauren’s first MM book coming next month, which is performed by Joe Arden and Shane East. A fireside chat between Joe & Andi. Plus, chapter 14 performed in dual narration by Santino Fontana.
