The Bromance Zone

By: L. Blakely, Lauren Blakely

Narrated by: Vikas Adam, Evan Parker, Michael Crouch - epilogue

A friends-to-lovers romance performed by Audie winner Vikas Adam and introducing the award-winning Ron Butler narrating as Evan Parker!

Two great friends. One road trip. And eight inches...of snow that night at the cabin.

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times. Friends don't bang friends. I want my friends to stay in my life, especially that flirty, clever, outgoing best friend of mine. It's a darn good thing Owen and I made a pact in college to never ever sleep together, or else I'd be tempted. Trouble is, eight years later, I've been wondering what his kisses taste like. And I've been curious if our chemistry would extend into the bedroom. If he might feel the same risky pull. But I don't want to lose Owen, and history says there's no way a tryst between friends can end well. So as long as I avoid the bedroom with him, I won't break that hard-as-steel rule.

The Bromance Zone is a deliciously flirty, red-hot sexy, friends-to-lovers MM romance about the charming guy next door who's sworn to never date a friend, the flirty hot nerd who's been secretly crushing on that friend forever, and one night snowed in in a cabin. This book comes fully equipped for your listening pleasure with sexy banter, a super awkward dinner party, and a scene in front of a fireplace that proves just how dangerous the friend zone is. You'll also find an epilogue performed by Audie winner Michael Crouch, as well as the bonus novella Maybe This Time, performed by Teddy Hamilton and Jacob Morgan.

Scorcher!

Loved this. Cannot get enough of Lauren Blakely’s stories. And this one in particular! It is tender and scorching hot with a little humor. Didn’t want this to end. Exceptionally sexy Narration by Vikas Adam and Evan Parker, with a steamy epilogue by Michel Crouch. Plus Lauren added an really steamy bonus novella! Super hot!

Melt your heart romance

Best friends can fall in love and make the best couples. When River and Owen become friends in college they make a pact to remain friends and never date. Friends that date they felt would end of loosing not only their love but their friend in the end. After eight years they have held strong to that pact but both of their resolves are fading and when they are trapped together in a snow storm with the perfect set up their truths finally come out and they find they are not only best friends but truly love each other.

What a great love story about two fun and flirty men that are ready to settle down with their love and when they do fall they are all in. Lots of heat and lots of feelings and fears of what they can loose and the willingness to risk it all for love. They win.

Vikas Adam and Evan Parker are both new to me and were fantastic. I loved listening to both of these men and they really brought River and Owen's story to life.

This also has bonuses at the end of this book that you will love. Absolutely loved this book and highly recommend it.

love love love

I love how this wraps up River and Owen's story so well the only thing that would have made it better was if she included more of River and Owen

Good story

I loved the story line but I didn’t care for the narrators of this book. I guess I’m just used to the more masculine, sexy voices of Teddy, Shane and Jason in Lauren Blakely m/m books, that these two didn’t do it for me

Lauren Blakely has once again given us a heartwarming sexy MM Romance. I love that her books always leave my heart happy and swooning. I am a huge fan of friends to lovers romance.
River & Owen have been friends for years but made a pact that they will never sleep together because it never works and they want to remain friends. Years later they are both wondering if that pact should stay in place or if time has changed them both enough that they could make it work. I loved that part of this story takes place stranded in a cabin during a snow storm and I also really liked all of the friends and how much they support each other. River & Owen's love story made me smile a lot, swoon even more and require a fan the entire time. Loved the HEA.

As always Lauren doesn't just give us one story, we get a few in this audiobook. Dr. Good In Bed which is a very short story for Toby, I loved it and NEED MORE. This story was narrated by Michael Crouch who was perfect for Toby. Then we get Maybe This Time, which is a short bonus prequel for One Time Only, a quick glimpse into when Jackson & Stone meet for the first time. If you haven't listened to Jackson & Stone... do yourself a favor and do it now!

Sweet Friends to Lovers MM Romance!

This is a sweet and steamy friends-to-lovers MM romance. I liked the flirt, the friendship, and the romance. Vikas Adam and Evan Parker did a great job with the narration. I liked the epilogue narrated by Michael Crouch. I liked the bonus novella Maybe This Time, narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Jacob Morgan.

I couldn't find a plot

The book is well written but there wasn't really any plot to follow.
The narrators are good.

OMG What a treat!!

First of all, how does Lauren Blakely keep creating and writing such incredible, vulnerable, sexy, swoony, absolutely lovable characters that I just can’t get enough of?! Her latest foray into the world of M/M romance is both smokin’ hot and super sweet at the same time! River and Owen’s story is the perfect friends-to-lovers, do we or don’t we, forced proximity trope that I didn’t know I needed, but I can’t get enough of. The Easter eggs in this story are chef’s kiss and brought a smile to my face when I heard them and made me reminisce about previous books in this world. Vikas Adam and Evan Parker were perfectly cast and brought all the feels and heat that these two characters deserved. Then throw in the feel-good Dr. Good in Bed epilogue and the Maybe This Time novella prequel to One Time Only and this audiobook is totally worth a credit and then some!!

Nothin more than a sampler

The stories start as good as any but this is only a sampling of the stories, they just end a few chapters in.

Sexy and Swoony Best Friends to Lovers!

This book is an excellent best friends to lovers. It’s got a friendship that spans since college, amazing banter, and spice. If you like forced proximity (snowed in at a cabin with a hot tub), epic declarations, and romantic moments, then you’ll love this one!
As you probably already know, the narrators are perfection at bringing the story to life.
