Elevator Pitch

Hapless in Love, Book 1

De: Evelyn Leigh

Narrado por: Nick Martineau, Aure Nash

Selah Bailey, an anxious, risk-averse, homebody determined to finally become the main character in her own story, created a "F*ck It List" filled with goals and experiences to force her out of her comfort zone and introduce her to a life outside of her front door.

Realizing she'll need a partner to help complete her more adventurous goals by the deadline, she goes on a few dates in the hopes of breaking her dry spell, with no luck. After what may be the worst date ever, she meets Greyson in the elevator of her building.

She soon finds herself running out of time to complete the list and seeks an arrangement with anyone tolerable—though a certain neighbor comes to mind.

Greyson is everything she wasn't prepared for and could be the perfect hero for her story. Except falling in love is against the rules, and she should probably leave the house to find it.

Greyson Park is a business-oriented extrovert who's fully content with the life he's built for himself amid his divorce.

For the past seven years, he's prioritized making the best out of every day and keeping things casual in his love life.

As the creator of a wildly successful dating app, he's become quite the modern-day matchmaker. While he loves seeing others in love, he doesn't forgive himself for the past and believes romance isn't in the cards for a second time.

After what may be the most awkward night ever, he meets Selah in the elevator of his building.

He soon finds himself needing a believable date for his ex's wedding to silence the noise about him not moving on, and works out an arrangement with his neighbor.

Selah is everything he didn't know he needed, and could be the one who introduces him to a life outside of work. Except falling in love is against the rules, and he should probably use his app to find it.

where can I get a book Boyfriend?

I thought the voices were a perfect match for the characters. The story sounded so familiar in reality. Now I want a book boyfriend!!! This might be a re-listen.

That was a RIDE!! 😍

Grayson is going to be a TOUGH act to follow for ANY OTHER book boyfriends to come.

First off, narration: top tier. The narrators elevated the story and I enjoyed every second of it.

Second. I am madly in love with Grayson and Selah. Watching their character evolution and growing into the people who they want to be was tear inducing. I kicked my feet, cried, smiled so hard my cheeks aches and dropped a plate while washing dishes to clutch my pearls. This was a masterpiece. The fact that I'm giving this book 5 stars even though there is a 3rd act break-up speaks LEAPS AND BOUNDS. The pen was phenomenal.

I don't even know who the next book is focused on but all of the side characters were written so vividly that I would eagerly follow any of them 😍 10/10 I gobbled this up in less than 48 hours and I'd do it AGAIN!

Something was missing

Good story and performance, but it felt like something was missing or off about the style of writing.

Dominant Love

Ok first off yes 🙌🏾 on the pleasure dom for this deserving woman who suffered pain in the past! This book was phenomenal because it addressed real life issues and they both found love and healing. Great book, kept me going and I will gladly buy the next one. Bring it on! #bookboyfriend

Love Overcomes

These two neighbors overcome real life problems. The tech world may lead them to each other but it’s love that sustains them.

PERFECTION!

I already LOVED this book when I read it earlier this year, so when I saw that it was coming to Audible, I had to snatch it up! I rarely reread novels once I’ve finished them, but Elevator Pitch has quickly become one that I will gladly read again and again!

Listening to it gave an entirely different vibe to the book, and truly felt like I was experiencing it for the first time again. Aure Nash and Nick Martineau added amazing depth to Selah & Greyson. I will be on the lookout for additional narration from them, for sure!

One thing’s for certain- If Evelyn Leigh writes it, I’m reading it!!

Great read and voices

Steamy but also have tons of depth in the characters. Their stories were relatable just as adults making new friends and dating its never easy and we all have anxiety (not as severe as the character of course). i also appreciated the nod to therapy. I want to learn more about some of the friend circle/book club, so much depth already partially outlined in this book so looking forward to the series and hoping we see these characters again.

Best book boyfriend

The best book boyfriend in a long time but the insecurity in Seela was almost enough to make me DNF it. Also the narrators weren’t bad but something.

OUTSTANDING

This book was absolutely amazing! I wish I could rate it higher than 5 stars

The story was so beautiful and the narrators did such a good job at bringing the characters to life!

The respect for the characters ethnicity.

The male narrator’s voice. That was the only thing that I didn’t like, and it was a bit jarring whenever his chapter started.
