Screw It!

By: Shauna Richmond

Narrated by: Jonathan Waters

What do you do when you’re in love with your roommate?

Pushing 30, once again single, is not how Lottie Evans expected to attend her brother Nick’s wedding. Craig Barnes is a serial dater with a checkered past. Lottie has the biggest crush on her roommate. Craig is in love with his friend’s younger sister. A mix-up with hotel reservations pushes the pair together for a long weekend, and sparks are not the only thing flying.

An obsessive ex, a flirtatious mother, and a grandmother with no filter. The pair soon finds out that Nick is the least of their worries.

Uproariously funny writing combined with magical narration, I loved it!

Throughly entertaining and laugh out loud funny, Screw It! is a truly original and completely delightful romantic comedy. There’s also some intrigue and a bit of angst to nicely balance the laughs, and give a realistic feel to the story. The writing is fantastic, the characters unique and varied! The good, the bad and the annoying (intentionally so, and very necessary to the plot) are brilliantly represented! The dialogue is beyond witty and the banter between the characters is fabulous, all making for such a fun listen! I would be remiss if I didn’t make mention of the astounding narration that brought every one of these wonderful characters to life. Only one word fits. Magical! I am still laughing and still smiling. Five fabulous stars! This one is a winner!

Amazing story

Couldn’t put it down, it was exciting and amazing story. I laughed and cried with the characters. The narrator was wonderful as well.

Friends to Lovers.

It was awesome book! Friends to lovers. Jonathan Waters new narrator to me, but he did fabulous job!
Highly recommended!

Hilarious, Sexy

This author achieved the difficult feat of being funny, often hilarious, but not silly. So often authors just achieve silliness or juvenile levels of foolishness. But this author wrote a funny, adult book. I generally don't like stories about a woman liking a brother's best friend; it's been done and overdone. This author managed to give a bit of a fresh take. This was in part because the characters were older (guy is in early 30s) and the focus wasn't on the 2 male best friends but largely on the hero and heroine instead.
Sometimes the sex was somewhat explicit but not vulgar. Though pu**y is said once in relation to cunnilingus. So be aware if that's not your thing. Generally, adult language is used throughout the book and not in a gratuitous fashion. But some would object to it. So go in knowing that. The sex isn't constant throughout the book and sometimes just alluded to. But it's more than 1x, definitely.
The side characters added to the story. That included close friends, a mother, grandmother, and undesirable characters too. There's a bit of a mystery in the story that helps add some conflict in the love match. Thankfully there are no ongoing misunderstandings that are the basis of the story.
The only negative was that the narrator wasn't always able to clearly make distinctions between several characters, including the 2 main characters; so often it wasn't always clear, at the start, which character was speaking. Eventually it would become clear. Still, it didn't detract meaningfully from my immense enjoyment of this production.

cute romance story

narrator did a great job with the accents and I enjoyed the story the author told.

Cute Story

This was a cute fun story. Craig and Lottie were a fun couple. It was sweet and steamy, The narrator had a nice voice.

Great Story!

Great story and great voices of Jonathan!! Loved it and will look for more books from this author and reader!

Loved It!

Honestly, I’m not sure what attracted me so much to this story but I couldn’t walk away from it. After reading the synopsis I thought it sounded cute, but it ended up being so much more for me.

Lottie had a toxic relationship that ruined her self image, but along came her brothers best friend to put her back together again. Witty banter and a tight family rounded off a great story with some hot and heavy scenes.

Narrator wasn’t my favorite. I got a little lost in which point of view it was because the inflection of the voice didn’t change enough to be able to tell the difference. I feel like you have to pay extra close attention to figure out the changes, but still a great story over all.

Friends to Lovers

I really like this story. Friends to Lovers is special to me. This story had angst, twists, steamy scenes and comedy. Craig and Lottie are meant for each other. Narrator Jonathan Waters delivers on his comedic talents. He had me laughing. This feel good book is worth reading!

Hilarious

Everything about this book was awesome, the two main characters had me laughing so hard, also Greg’s grandma is hilarious as well, I love her.
