Publisher's summary

A dating experiment ignites a secret attraction in this steamy new rom-com from number one New York Times best-selling author Lauren Blakely!

Eight years ago I fell into a secret summer fling with my best friend’s little sister before our lives went in different directions. Now, I’m the grumpy to Juliet’s sunshine on a popular dating podcast we host, and when a wealthy fan gives us a charming coastal cottage as the biggest thank you ever, we head to the town where I grew up to give it a makeover.

And find the house has only one bed.

Located under a mirrored ceiling.

To make matters even harder, the bright, big-hearted woman I’ve been pining for tells me she wants to try to find the one and would I please be her dating coach for the week?

Like hell I’ll let her date other men. I’ll coach her on three dates with me.

But the second I take her out, I don’t feel like her teacher. I feel like she’s mine, especially when the first night ends with us tangled up together in that bed.

Each night we grow closer, but this dating experiment forces me to face my greatest fear–whether a man like me is worthy of her love.

Even though I’m already head over heels for her.

Wonderful narration

Zachary and Andi are always an automatic download for me, regardless of the author. However, The Accidental Dating Experiment turned out to be as wonderful as well. Sweet and spicy; the perfect mixture made for a great listen.

Loved the chemistry and laughs.

I don’t think this author can write a bad story. There’s always a perfect mix of creativity, humor and spice. How she can bring so much depth to rom coms is beyond me. This story did not disappoint.

Cute and spicy

Loved the story and length. It was fun and different- characters were well developed for a shorter story.

Fun and entertaining romance novel!

Fantastic laugh out loud book with a solid romance story! Don’t listen to it with your 13 year old son in the car, or you’ll both be embarrassed!

Very enjoyable but one big plot hole

I really enjoyed the characters, the dialogue, the narrators and most elements of the plot for this very engaging audiobook.. It's a fun and mostly well-written rom-com about the co-hosts of a popular dating podcast's experiences when they are co-bequethed a house by a grateful listener and decide to turn the opportunity into "a dating experiment." There are a couple of major plot holes that initially disturbed me, but the overall entertainment value of the book made it easy to overlook those implausible elements, especially with a humorous and sexy story performed by two of my favorite voice actors.

The narrator's made this all the better

Sweet adorable story. Monroe and Juliette both showed how love can be. Story was cute, narrators actually put feeling into. It was like listening to a movie. I enjoyed it.
