Publisher's summary

Indulge in four bestselling stand-alone romances from number one NYT best-selling author Lauren Blakely in the One Love Collection! Performed by Sebastian York, Andi Arndt, and Zachary Webber!

THE SEXY ONE...I’m a single dad raising my daughter and running a business, so it’s safe to say the last woman I should even think And yet, sweet, sexy, funny Abby invades my thoughts every night. Oh, and she’s teaching me French to help me land my new business deal all while teaching my princess how to read.

A smart man would stay far away. But every day I spend with her only makes me want her more.

Until one evening we’re working on French lessons, and then a whole different kind of lesson is happening.

In. My. Bed.

THE HOT ONE…At first glance, stripping naked at my ex-girlfriend's place of work might not seem like the brightest way to win her heart again. But trust me on this count—she always liked me best without any clothes on. And sometimes you have to play to your strengths when you're fighting an uphill battle. As a lawyer, I know how to fight, and I'm prepared to fight hard for her. Because sometimes you need a second chance at first love.

THE KNOCKED UP PLAN...There are three little words most guys don’t want to hear on the first date. "Knock me up.” I know what I want most, and it’s a bun in the oven, so I hit up my s-e-x-on-a-stick co-worker to do the job. Ryder is gorgeous, witty, and charming—and he’s also a notorious commitment-phobe. That makes him the perfect candidate to make a deposit in the bank of me. I won’t fall for him, he won’t fall for me, and there’s no way baby will make three.

COME AS YOU ARE…For one fantastic evening, at a masquerade party I’m not the billionaire everyone wants a piece of. I’m the guy who likes dancing, witty banter, and passionate up-against-the-wall action with the gorgeous masked beauty.

My mystery woman seems to like me for me, rather than for my huge…bank account.

But the next day I learn she’s doing an exposé on my business.

So awesome!!

Omg! 4 full books plus extras! All for only 1 credit! These were all so different and fantastic! I loved each story. Thank you Lauren! Also the best narrators ever!!

Love this collection!

4 really good books!
I like stories, characters and….hmm I really like everything 😀 all 4 books are worth your attention especially if you like Lauren Blakely!

FOUR GREAT STORIES

The author is amazing in these stories. All of the narrators were very good and truly believable in all of the stories. GREAT JOB TO ALL

Binge Lauren Blakely

First story I really liked. Second story didn't hold my interest very well. Third story very good but predictable. Fourth story was also very good. Narration was the same two throughout the books. Sebastian York and Andi Arndt can really deliver the lines. I love them both but it might have been better for me to break up my listening to the stories with other authors and narrators because listening straight through with the same narrators was too repetitive and the stories lost their value and impact. By the time the bonus novella came up I'd had enough and couldn't make it through.

Just perfect!

The "One Love" collection by Lauren Blakely is a delightful blend of romance and emotion. Blakely's storytelling prowess shines through, creating engaging narratives with well-developed characters. The collection explores the complexities of love, making it a compelling read for fans of the romance genre.

All great stories!

The knocked up plan was my favorite. I’m going to get more collections from Lauren Blakely. She’s awesome.

4 Books ✫✫ 5 Stars ✫✫

I love that Lauren Blakely is creating these Audio Collections. Seriously, 4 book for 1 credit.. AWESOME! This is going to be a VERY long review but I feel like I need to review each book!
**************************************************************************************************
The Sexy One:
I have to say I adore this book!!! It is such a sweet love story and believe it or not...NO DRAMA...i didn't even know that was possible in romance. This is a must buy author for me because all of her books leave me with a happy heart. I love her writing style and all of her stories. Simon & Abby's story is sweet and these two just make perfect sense. I loved Simon, he is a single dad who puts his daughter 1st and he is adult enough to have an amicable relationship with his ex for their child. Abby is the nanny and she loves his daughter. She also has great morals and sticks to her beliefs even if it might make things difficult. In the end I stayed up all night (on a work night no less) finishing this audiobook because it was just that good. This book would have been great as an ebook but add Sebastian York & Andi Arndt narrating the audiobook and it was even better.
**************************************************************************************************
The Hot One:
Lauren Blakely is a writing machine!! Tyler is HOT, he is confident and he jumps in with both feet!! Delaney is sassy, fun and perfect for Tyler! I love a second chance romance the best! While I felt like this was the least steamy of Lauren's books I still loved it so much! I liked was that Tyler was actually a little quirky instead of Delaney, that was a fun twist! I loved how they had a lot of differences but also a lot in common, that makes them seem like a real couple. The way they just eased right back into a relationship was sweet especially since she didn't make it easy for him to get his second chance. I also loved all the cameo's from the other men in her books, it was like a little visit with old friends! This cover is perfect, Tyler can strip for me any day ;) Great second chance romance <3
Loved the narration! Zachary Webber was perfect for Tyler!! Great casting choice!
**************************************************************************************************
The Knocked Up Plan:
LOVED IT! Seriously I love all of Lauren's books but this one might be my favorite! I knew when I started that I'd love it cause I'm a sucker for a daddy to-be or a new daddy but this was so much better than even I thought it would be! VERY low on drama which is a huge plus for me but also what an amazing love story! These characters had amazing chemistry, they made you want their love story from the very beginning. They were meant for each other even if they didn't know it. The things they had in common were vast but I think it all started for me with their dogs, they both have a love of animals and are mindful of that from the beginning, they had a flirty thing going on a work and a big sexual attraction but once they went out outside of work and saw how each other was with the pets I think that started them seeing each other in a softer way. This book has so much emotion, love and sexual attraction that I fell in love along with the characters!
Ryder is a little guarded because of his ex but he's a relationship expert and just needs to take his own advise! This man was hot hot hot and even without the romance he was every women's dream. I love how much he grew and changed in this book. And my favorite thing about him was that he may have thought things were going one way but when he realized that he was making assumptions, he jumped in with both feet and laid it all out there. I love that he thought it was worth taking the chance of another broken heart and he took it!
Nicole is such a great character, she is strong and knows what she wants and doesn't need anyone to get it (mostly). She is so honest and bold, says what she wants and doesn't worry too much about it. I loved that about her character, she wanted a baby and so she set out to have one. This girl had the confidence I think all women would kill to have. She had a few moment of unsurety but who doesn't! Narration is fabulous, I never get tied of Sebastian York!
**************************************************************************************************
Come As You Are:
I love a "Cinderella"type of story. This book didn't have all the Cinderella plots but it did have a masked ball and true love between two people who didn't even know who each other was in the beginning so it reminded me of my favorite parts of Cinderella! I love how down to earth these characters are, does't matter that he is rich or that she is not, neither of them act the part, they are just who they are. I also love how this book has NO drama... I mean NONE!!!! In the scene that most authors would have added the misunderstanding that causes drama Lauren leads these characters in the mature direction where they TRUST each other!!! That alone made this book great for me! I also really liked the side story with Sabrina's brother. It was sweet and I really liked that she went to him for advice instead of treating him like a kid because he was younger than her.
Lauren always adds so many fun "tidbits" to her story's and I always find myself waiting for one and this book did not disappoint (Pineapple Math)! I love the quirkiness of her characters, no matter how normal they are, they always have a quirky side. In the end I say another great book by Lauren Blakely!
The narration was great as always with Sebastian York and Andi Arndt but this one had a little something extra! The last epilogue was duet narrated! These two are great separate and together but listening to them do a duet was fun and now I want a full duet audiobook with them narrating.

Love this fun, heartfelt and steamy collection!

~ THE SEXY ONE~
I loved this latest fun, sweet and sexy story by Lauren Blakely! She is brilliant at creating great characters, fun banter, scorching hot sex scenes, with heartwarming story lines.
This story in combination with the wonderful narration by Andi Arndt, and Sebastian York make this an experience that is pure magic! I was drawn in by their inflections, pacing and natural deliveries. It never felt forced or over acted, they just allowed me to lose myself in the story which I love.

Simon is a wonderful, single father to his sweet and adventuresome little girl, Hayden. He hired Abby to be their nanny to help out when he needed to work. Abby is smart, loving, open and honest. Just the opposite of his pretentious, cheating ex-wife. Simon loves how great Abby is with Hayden, and it only makes him want her more. But he needs Abby, and is afraid to become a cliché. Abby not only adores Hayden, she adores her sexy, sharp-dressed boss as well. But Abby needs this job so what is a girl to do when just a smile from Simon melts her into a puddle of lust? Simon and Abby have an easy rapport and the more time they spend together the more their attraction grows. But can they act on those feelings and risk hurting Hayden as well as their own hearts? I love their flirty, witty banter, their passion is hot and their chemistry is explosive. This was a quick listen and I felt like it was rushed a little at the end. I loved Simon, Abby, and Hayden and I was definitely not ready for it to be over. I just wanted more of all of them. We did get more of Harper and Nick which was fun catching up with them. We also found out more about Simon's friend, Tyler Nichols, whose story sounds very intriguing. I just can't get enough of Ms. Blakely's work so I am definitely looking forward to what she releases next.

~ THE HOT ONE~
This sweet, sexy and emotional second chance romance captured my heart from the very beginning. I couldn't wait for Tyler Nichols story after having a glimpse of his regret for 'the one that got away' in a previous book. Successful Entertainment lawyer, Tyler Nichols, is smart, cocky, and focused. It is that focus that caused him to make a decision he has lamented since college. He and Delaney Stewart had fallen madly and passionately in love in college. They could talk, study, joke and make love continually. He cherished her, but when he took some advice from a respected professor, he left her behind with a broken heart. He has never forgotten her. The only female he has fallen for since is his adorable niece, Carly, who's innocent and truthful comments are delightful. It is on one of their outings that Tyler sees Delaney again and is determined to reconnect and win her back.
Delaney's life took a totally different direction after that fateful and heartbreaking event in college. She now has her own massage business and loves to help people. She isn't about to open herself up to the man who left her behind even if he still stars in all her naughty thoughts. But Tyler is determined to show her that he is not the same man he once was and is worthy of her trust and love. As they spend time together they fall back into their easy rapport. They laugh, tease and discover the people they are today. Tyler loves that Delaney is beautiful inside and out and despite their smoking hot chemistry, she still doesn't open easily. Will Tyler's impatient, tenacious, and big grand gestures win her over or will cutting corners to earn her trust backfire on him?
Ms Blakely is brilliant at creating sexy, intelligent, clever adult characters who tackle life head on. It might not always go smoothly but it always feels genuine and honest. I love Tyler and Delaney together, their banter was witty and they felt like two halves of a whole, completing each other. I really enjoyed catching up with many of the friends and family in the Blakely world, especially Clay, and his adorable daughter Carly. I especially love the sweet and romantic epilogues!
I really enjoyed the narrators performance. I am already a fan of Andi Arndt, but this is my first listen to Zachary Webber and he was a perfect Tyler! They set each scene easily and their intonation was spot on adding to the playfulness, emotion, and passion of this story.
If you are looking for a heartfelt, funny, sexy romance you will absolutely love this book!

~ THE KNOCKED UP PLAN~
There is so much to love about this friends to lovers romance! It is hilarious, hot & steamy and a new sexy alpha hero that you can't help but fall in love with. Ryder is a successful author who helps men find the woman of their dreams. Since the breakup of his marriage he has lost his faith in the HEA. His boss is forcing him to find his romantic side again and come up with a dating guide. Ryder is at a loss at where to start. His sexy coworker and ping pong partner, Nicole, believes she isn't made for love. She does feel her clock ticking and wants to have a baby tho. Handsome, smart, funny, Ryder has the perfect attributes to be the potential father. They come to an agreement to help each other out. But as they spend more time together going on the perfect dates and then trying to make a baby, their attraction grows. Will they be able to walk away when their 'projects' are completed without breaking their hearts and remain friends? I loved Ryder and Nicole together, their banter was witty, and their chemistry was explosive. They also complimented each other, feeling like two halves of a whole, completing each other. We were treated to cameos from characters from previous books which is always fun. There are also some intriguing twin brothers that I hope to read more about soon. I devoured this book when I read it, but listening to it made it a real treat. Andi Arndt, and Sebastian York made these smart, witty, sexy, characters come to life, effortlessly pulling me into their world. It never feels like they are reading or performing, they just are, and that is why I could listen again and again. I highly recommend this heartfelt, smart, funny, sweet and sexy romance!

~COME AS YOU ARE~
I loved this enchanting, fun & flirty forbidden romance! Ms Blakely gave us a refreshing, sexy romance with irresistible characters who will steal your heart. Sexy millionaire nerd, Flynn Parker, and down on her luck, talented journalist, Sabrina Granger, have a chance meeting at a masquerade ball. They both want to be liked for who they are, not for their wealth or circumstances. With masks on, their attraction heats up, and they can't deny the intrigue of a clandestine affair. After a passionate evening and without exchanging names, they plan to meet again. When Sabrina's new job puts her and Flynn together, motives are questioned and they are forced to put their affair aside.
There is so much to love about this story, like the witty grammar banter, the fun and steamy 'Duke & Angel' texts, the non-dates where they explore their favorite & unconventional New York spots, not to mention their hot and steamy passion. Flynn and Sabrina are so perfect together, with their shared thirst for discovery. They are both so adorkable and my new favorite couple!
Andi Arndt, and Sebastian York are pure magic as Flynn and Sabrina. They recreate the fun and passionate chemistry beautifully. They made this clever, irresistible, sexy romance into a stellar audio experience!

Loved the Collection
