Dad Bod Wingman

Dad Bod Series - Men Built for Comfort

By: Karla Doyle

Narrated by: Lu Banks

When a buddy hits on the woman Jensen has secretly loved since childhood, his days of being "the wingman" are over.

A small town, friends to lovers, instalove romance

JENSEN:

I’ve always been the wingman. The great buddy. The teddy-bear guy women lean on.

In elementary school, I was the kid passing notes between infatuated classmates. In high school, I was the guy telling a pretty girl that somebody liked her. In college, I was the icebreaker, initiating casual conversation with women in the bar, so that my buddies could ultimately take them home.

Tonight’s no different, even though it’s my birthday. I’m still the guy enlisted to lay the groundwork so my friend can get laid.

Only tonight is different. Because tonight, we’re in my hometown. In my bar. And tonight, the woman I’ve been asked to warm up is Bailey Burrows. That’s not happening.

Yeah, I owe my buddy. The guy invested in my business when the bank laughed in my face. But I’m still not helping him hook up with the girl I’ve crushed on my entire life. If anybody’s taking Bailey home, it’s going to be me.

Narration broadcast story to life

second chance, childhood friends to lovers romance

This was a heat-filled quick listen.

The characters were wonderful...I mean... who doesn't love a second chance, childhood friends to lovers romance!?!?

The storyline was full of "heat" situations, and the storyline was short and sweet.

The narrator, Lu Banks, was good, but at times I was confused as to who she was speaking for. Her voice stayed the same throughout for both characters (this is a 2 person POV).

Overall, I give this a 3.5 across the board, but rounding up to 4.

Short and sweet

This is a very cute story.

Childhood friends meeting again and finally getting the guts to tell each other how they feel.
They help each other past some of their insecurities. It is just a very sweet story (with some spice) with low drama. Good if you are in the mood for a quick listen.

romantic childhood friends

Bailey and Jenson have been childhood friends.
he returned home hoping to see the girl of his dreams. I loved how Karla Doyle developed their reunion. Both had a crush on each other during their school years. Neither one acted on their crush because they didn't want to ruin their friendship.
He was her teddy bear and she a!ways was his dream girl.
I enjoyed listening to this story narrated by Lu Banks.
I was gifted this audio and offered my honest review.

Cute

I love when the main characters are awkwardly cute and these 2 definitely fit the bill. I fell in love with them both right away. Short with a happily ever after set in a small town. Hit me in the feels and left me with a smile on my face.

Terrific Story & Narration🎧 Charming & Heartfelt!

This is a fabulous, small town, friends to lovers, romance and the despite the book being on the shorter it packs a lot of story, a charming and heartfelt story. This is my first book written by this author, I enjoyed her writing style and the characters and storylines she created, they are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with. The story drew me in right from the start, grabbing my attention and captivating it the entire time, it tugged on my heartstrings as well. Jensen returned to his hometown and opened his own bar, which is doing well. A guy on the husky side, he was used to being overlooked and watched his friends get all the girls, he was even their wingman getting them their girls. But when it comes to Bailey, he will not be a wingman for anyone, including his good friend. He has always had a thing for her, but never found the right moment or the courage to tell her so. I loved watching these two get to know each other better and finally open up to how they felt and shared their own insecurities, I thought they were perfect together and for each other. This charming and beautifully plotted story has the perfect balance of drama, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. Karla Doyle, thank you for this enjoyable and wonderfully entertaining story.

🎧📚🎧 And for the terrific narration, Lu Banks is a talented narrator and voice artist. She did a great job bringing the characters and their story to life. Banks set the perfect tone for the story, captured the character’s emotions and projected them into her performance. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for the great listen.

Enjoyable Friends to Lovers

Dad Bod Wingman was my first listen from Karla Doyle. It was an enjoyable friends to lovers story about Jensen and Bailey. Longtime friends who had feelings for one another but never acted on them. Jensen returned to town and opened a successful bar. Bailey never left town and has been working at her dad’s shop. I loved how they both had to step out of their comfort zones and go after what they wanted-each other. Although it was a short story, I felt like it was a complete story that hooked me from the start and had me rooting for their HEA. Their chemistry was believable and the intimate scenes were hot. The narrator did a good job. The pacing was spot on and I felt they did well telling both characters stories.

I would recommend Dad Bod Wingman to anyone who is looking for a quick listen and those who enjoy friends to lovers stories. I received a copy of this audiobook from the author for my honest review.

So sweet

Jenson and Bailey were absolutely adorable. Jenson got the push he needed to finally make his move. Bailey had her friends and dad, but was missing something. Together they were just what the other needed. The narration was great. The story and audio flowed smoothly and was easy to listen to.
