Description
Get ready for your next favorite romantic comedy audiobook from Lauren Blakely, The Real Deal!
April Hamilton wants you to know she hasn't been on Craigslist since that time she sold her futon after college. She doesn't even spend that much time online. And even if she did, she would not be looking up personal ads. But going home alone for her family's summer reunion is an invitation for every single relative to butt into her personal life. She simply can't handle another blind date with the butcher, the baker or the candlestick maker from her hometown. So when she finds the Craigslist ad for a boyfriend-for-hire, she's ready to pay to play.

- (5/5)This is my new favorite! Great characters! April is a strong, independent woman, who needs help to deal with her family’s constant match making. She hires Theo, off a Craig’s List add for a platonic boyfriend. The set up is so fun. They have instant connection & imagination that left me with a constant smile. The story is sweet, swoon worthy, sexy & perfect! The secondary characters add richness to story. I listened to the audible, and loved every word! I am sure to spread the love by telling all my book friends to read this ASAP! I am sure I will read it, next time!
- (5/5)I listen to it not read it and the voice work was excellent as it did it went wonderful performance of the book was funny and romantic I highly recommend it
- (3/5)Ok enough, not a fan of insta-love story's. Aside from that, it was a quick read.
- (4/5)Fun Story with good banter and lots of heat.
The ending conflict with a bit much but still entertaining. - (5/5)I loved this story, it was sweet and hot with a beautiful HEA. The narrators were excellent too.
- (5/5)Loved it! It was funny, sexy and perfect narrators. Well written as well. Totally recommend
- (4/5)Sweet, funny and left me with a smile on my face. I love the chemistry between the characters and that they go all out for a family reunion !
- (5/5)Cute storie, very enjoyable, the readers were excellent, very good
- (3/5)I read this book only because I love Zachary webber's voice. But the female narrator has ruined my experience of the very first book by Lauren. Her sing song voice and desperation to finish a sentence in one breath made me cringe. It was a good read though. Characters are nice, strong and independent. You may feel little awkward if not a insta-love fan. I mean to finish love,lust or quarrel all in 5 days was predictable from the start.
- (2/5)Sorry, this was simply boring and the narrator of April tryed to hard to sound sexy.
- (2/5)I really couldn’t enjoy the book because the narrators style was so ridiculous. The female was very valley girl sing saw me talking and the guy was ridiculously gravelly and trying to be sexy sounding. Just normal voices would’ve been far more interesting.
- (5/5)Lauren Blakely has been my go to rom com author for awhile, so I decided to try out an audiobook version. This story was awesome! Great characters, fascinating backstories and super sexy voices for the audiobook! Loved everything about this!

The story itself is cute, as expected for Lauren Blakely. And Zachary Weber’s narration is wonderful, as always. But Erin Mallon’s narration absolutely ruined this book. I had to skip most of her chapters. She does this strange affected voice that drags out every word in the most annoying way ever. I have heard interviews with her and her natural speaking voice is nothing like her narrator voice. I wish she would try to sound like a normal person instead of some weird modern day purring Mae West impersonation.
I feel very annoyed that she ruined a perfectly good book.2 people found this helpful
