ASKING FOR A FRIEND:

I was only trying to help a friend who was finally ready to date again.

I knew what she wanted in a man—smart, funny, ambitious, well-read, and plays a wicked game of badminton.

So I posted a profile for her. It seemed like a good idea at the time—I’d weed through the candidates, and bring her my top picks.

But then he responded. Is it wrong to date the guy I screened for my bestie? Not asking for a friend.

SEX AND OTHER SHINY OBJECTS:

I’ve been curious about a few things I’ve read in romance novels. Do buttons truly go flying across the floor when you rip off a guy’s shirt? Is staircase sex hella hot or does it leave you with a big old bruise mark on your back? And don’t even get me started on all that panty shredding. My best guy friend volunteers to test the scene. We have a plan to keep it PG and but once the buttons start flying, all bets are off…

ONE NIGHT STAND-IN:

My ex is the last person I want to spend 24 hours with, let alone two minutes. We didn’t just break up—we combusted.

Nothing will change that. Not his clever wit, not his ridiculous good looks, and definitely not a wild dash through the city that takes us on an accidental scavenger hunt through our past, giving us a chance to say we’re sorry. But, it’s not like you can fall in love again in 24 hours.

Or can you?

OVERNIGHT SERVICE: Top three reasons why sleeping with the enemy is a bad idea...

1. She’s my fiercest rival.

2. She’s also my fiery ex.

3. We’re competing to win the hottest new client on the market.

I do everything I can to resist her, but my libido has other plans.

Enjoyable listen

All of these titles had witty banter and laugh out loud humor. I love LB's titles of places the couples visit. They all had something in common: Will they or won't they get together, angst. Lots of well written steamy scenes as well. Great value for all these stories. All the narrators were enjoyable to listen to and so glad Jason Clarke and Andi Arndt took the lead. Note: the last story "Overnight Service" is in the Always Satisfying collection.

Love, love, love

Loved how all of the stories were different, yet tied all of the characters together.
The “extra” stories were a great surprise and enjoyable.
Love this author and ALL the narrators.

A True Work of Love

Delicious listening, this collection and all in one place what's not to love.
This series is fun, flirty and sexy and an all round good time. Each book is a standalone with just the right narrators to keep you wanting more.

Asking for a Friend, this one made my heart happy and had me swooning. It's completely relatable and the chemistry these characters have may even have you blushing.

Sex and Other Shiny Objects, it's a friends to lovers which is a fav of mine. These two both want more but are afraid to put their friendship on the line. But oh the turning point will make you want more, more, more. Smexy is the word for this one!

One Night Stand-in, is a second chance, it was sweet and so cool and different. I think that is why I love Lauren’s books so much. She gives us a fresh spin and story with every book. They never feel like the same story. And her narrators are fantastic; they really bring you into the story. Like you’re seeing it plays behind your eyes.

Overnight Service, Oh yes…I love books like these, where the hero and heroine hate to love each other. It’s fun and interesting to see how they dance around each other and how they come to be. The banter is phenomenal, a must listen.

Collection of great audios

I love this collection of amazing stories and narrations that will melt your heart. It is lighthearted and fun and swoony and makes your heart feel good.

Asking For A Friend, Sex and Other Shiny Objects, One Night Stand-In, Your French Kisses, and Overnight Service. You will be entertained by a cast of narrators that are all at the top of the list that we all enjoy. Andi Arndt, Jason Clarke, Emma Wilder, Shane East, Erin Mallon, Zachary Webber, and Julia Whelan will bring you hours of entertainment. Alone these are all five-star books but here you have five books for one credit. What a deal and I highly recommend it.

Whole cast is awesome

The cast of narrators is excellent. All my faves were on it. This bundle is also totally worth it. Quirky, spicy, trope filled rom coms and a novella. Loved it.

Her books always deliver

I never hesitate to use a credit on a bundle from this author. She has several of my favorite actors (ahem thank you for your voices Shane East and Zachary Webber 🎁🎁--just name dropping a couple.). I love that the drama is believable and not drawn out and that the romance and the humor are there throughout. The steaminess is also wonderfully written and acted out. These stories were beautiful and a great listen. Off to listen to my next set of books! 😍😉

Loved the series.

Loved how all the books blended and narration. Book was just great during my walk each day.

Wonderful performances and entertaining stories!

This was a funny, sweet and sexy collection of stories. The performances were my favorite part and I thoroughly enjoyed listening.

I had previously read it

As I said, I have previously read it. However, by the time I realized it (I have memory issues), I was already partly into the first book. I figured since there were four, I might as well re-read them. I love the narrator anyway.

Maybe 3 1/2 stars, really.

The stories were good but I found myself checking out a lot. I think my favorite was Sex and Other Shiny Objects. I liked the subplots in that one and it was the most intriguing romance of all of these.
