Story
Dear Mr. Vega: I felt it necessary to follow up on today’s meeting, since we weren’t able to speak candidly in front of your son. I was shocked to discover that you are Ryder’s dad. I think it would be best if we just pretend that we met in person for the first time today. Your son is a very bright (flirtatious and talkative) student and since his education is a top priority for both of us, I hope I can count on you to respectfully refrain from grinning at me, using that sexy tone of voice, and undressing me with your annoyingly beautiful brown eyes....

When the invitation arrived, it detailed the rules of the masquerade - no names, no identities. I set one more - find a most wicked man for one night. The kind who'll bring me deliciously naughty pleasure in dark corners. But as the clock ticks to midnight, he finds me, whisks me away to a secret alcove, and delivers all that dirty bliss and then some. We make arrangements for another secret rendezvous before I rush out of the ball. But fate has other plans, since I see my most wicked man the next morning.

There are a few things you should know about my brother’s roommate. Wolfie Cox is complicated, and incredibly sexy. Unfortunately, he has an impressive stick lodged so far up his ass, he’s about as emotionally available as a chinchilla. Actually, that might be an insult to the chinchilla community. So, naturally, I want to ride him like a bicycle.

Let me list the reasons why dating the sexy, charming pro hockey star is a bad idea: He’s one of my closest friends. All our friends are friends. The wounds I’ve got from past relationships go deep. And so do his. We’re both devoutly single - it’s just safer for the heart that way. But there’s no reason not to bid on the gorgeous, clever athlete at the charity auction this weekend. If I win, it’ll be a "friendsdate".

My love story all started with a letter. Only it wasn’t from the man I’d eventually fall in love with. It was from his daughter. A sweet little girl named Birdie Maxwell who’d written to the magazine that I worked for. You see, once a year my employer fulfilled a few wishes for readers. Only that column didn’t start up again for months. So I fulfilled some of her wishes myself. It was harmless…so I thought. Until one day I took things too far. While anonymously granting yet another of Birdie’s wishes, I got a look at her father.

Lexington Dane was my brother’s best friend growing up. We did everything together. He taught me how to throw a punch, how to change a tire...and he taught me how to kiss. I fell hard and fast, and gave him all my firsts. I promised I’d wait for him.... But I’m done waiting, because he went off to college and never came back. He took his fancy business degree and moved to New York City, where he promptly became a real estate mogul - turning every penthouse and apartment project he touched into gold.

Story
The beginning of my sophomore year in college was off to a rough start. On the first day of orientation, I had an altercation with an infuriating British dude in a campus bathroom. (The ladies’ room was out of order. So, I used the men’s room. Don’t judge.) I got home later that night and realized that the foreign student we were expecting to rent a room in my parents’ house was allergic to our cat. So, the spare room went to someone else: Caleb - the British guy from the men’s room. And so it began...my love-hate story with Caleb Yates. Or was it hate-love in that order?

Reed freaking Rivers. I wouldn’t trust a word out of the arrogant music mogul’s mouth if his gold-plated tongue were notarized. The man with the Midas touch would say anything to get me into his bed, and I know it. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want him to succeed. Indeed, the moment I laid eyes on Reed while he was speaking at an on-campus event I’d crashed, my body physically ached to feel his golden fingers - and tongue - all over me.

At least I'll finally be rid of his farm, which is grown over and tangled with memories I've fought to forget. And that’s when I find her. She’s even more beautiful than I remember and has the most adorable kid I’ve ever seen. Years have passed, but my feelings are the same, and this time I refuse to let her go. They say you can't bury the past, and they're right.

Elise Parrish, my teammate's incredibly sweet and gorgeous younger sister, should have been off-limits, but my hockey stick didn't get the memo.

Summary
A delicious standalone romantic comedy performed by Andi Arndt and Jason Clarke with special guest stars Zachary Webber and Erin Mallon!
I was only trying to help a friend. I swear. I was legit asking for a friend who was finally ready to date again. I knew what she wanted in a man - smart, funny, ambitious, well-read (no, the sports section doesn't count), and plays a wicked game of badminton. So I did what any good friend would do. Posted it 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.
Asking for a Friend is a Boyfriend Material series standalone! Three best friends. Three outrageous proposals. Three chances to fall in love. Three brand new standalones from Lauren Blakely!

It was funny, cute and sexy.
Lauren Blakely is one of my favourite authors. Linc and Amy meet for the first time they meet on his first day of work at her company. But he's desperate not to get dragged into a office romance after his previous bad experience and she's determined to be career focused and get a promotion... both end up on the same dating app while Amy screens potentials for her recently heartbroken bestie. You will have a smile on your face by the time you are finished this book. It felt like hanging out with friends over a glass of wine being told their latest escapades.

✫✫ 5 Stars ✫✫
Another awesome Lauren Blakely book! I am so excited about this new series after finishing book 1. I was in love with this book because of all the "book love" and banter. Seriously these characters work in publishing so they both love books and their flirting and banter has a lot of book related stuff and that was my complete downfall! This is a sort of "You've Got Mail" storyline which made it even better. They spend a lot of time chatting and being honest with each other before they even know who each other is so their attraction and their connection felt so real. She was probably more honest than she would have been since she wasn't trying to catch him for herself which is another thing I loved about it. This book felt seriously fun, sexy and sweet all in one perfect package. I can't wait for book 2, thankfully it's LB so we won't be waiting very long. Amy was such a fun character, she is so witty and inner monologue had me giggling through out the story. I was sold at Jason Clarke and Andi Arndt! They are both fantastic narrators and did an amazing job bringing the banter, wit and chemistry out in these characters And Erin Mallon and Zachery Webber were also perfect in this performance, you seriously can't go wrong with this all star cast!!

Incredible
This book had me right from the beginning, I pretty much love everything Lauren writes but I still have that one favorite book of hers and I really think this one slid in behind it. I loved the characters Linc and Amy are so uniquely themselves and the chemistry they have. Oooh look out! Books that make your heart happy, that make you swoon, yet is charming but also totally relatable, that is these characters they just have it all. It makes you never want to press pause. This book just hit all the right buttons and I hope it hits yours as well. The narration is fantastic as always, Mrs. Blakely sure knows how to pick just the right voices for each of her characters and she hit the nail right on the head with this cast.

Zachary Webber Steals the Show!
I have to admit that I had a hard time getting into this audiobook. I started it three times and I almost didn’t finish it again. I don’t know why that’s the case because I like most everything that Lauren writes and the performances by all the narrators were exceptional. This was a lot like a modern-day “You’ve Got Mail” story with likable characters, but I think the person who made this hilarious was Baldwin, performed by Zachary Webber. He usually performs the steamy, hot hero, and not a semi-flamboyant gay man. He was fantastic!

A slow burn with a hot coupling.
It’s really 4.5 stars. I wish it was a longer book! I loved these characters! Amy and Linc have great chemistry. I loved their banter before hooking up and I loved their work ethics. Lauren really conveyed that these characters loved books as entertainment. Not a hobby. I quite enjoyed that. This idea that Amy would screen guys for her friend was cute. I’ve seen it done before and I think it’s a trope that has a lot of ways it can go. In other words, it’s easy to build a decent story it. The audio is great. Lauren consistently knocks it out of the park. Andi Arndt and Jason Clarke make for a great coupling. Zachary Webber was a scene stealer with Baldwin. I wish we had a little more Erin Mallon, but that’s just me being selfish.

Fun Fun Fun
Very fun, witty story. Andi Arndt and Jason Clarke give awesome performances, and it was a treat to have Zachary Webber and Erin Mallon have small support parts. Kind of a You've Got Mail premise with online dating. I can't express enough how fun of a writer Lauren Blakely can be, the banter just sucks you in, makes you laugh out loud, and root for the characters. You'll not be disappointed.

Adorkable Romcom
Overall 5 stars Performance 5 stars Story 4.5 stars This was exactly the kind of swoony, low angst romcom that I needed! Asking For a Friend hooked me in right from the start, thanks to two of the quirkiest and most adorkable characters that I've encountered. Linc and Amy were undeniably perfect for each other and their playful banter and conversations made them even more endearing. I loved that there was push and pull thanks to the office romance taboo/some past baggage, but nothing over the top or unnecessary. The drama that does pop up is resolved just as quickly as it appears. It allowed the story to focus on these two and more importantly, the powerful message that "women can support each other even when they compete". Cape power all the way! Catching up with previous Blakely characters and the nods to locations and businesses that have popped up through her books are always fun easter eggs to find. The secondary characters were just as wonderful, especially Baldwin. I loved that he got his HEA too ;) Jason Clarke and Andi Arndt are delicious as always and the cameos by Erin Mallon and Zachary Webber were such a fun treat. Zachary Webber was wonderful as Baldwin! Though the audiobook isn't fully done in the duet style, there are parts (like text messages) that are. The playful banter and back and forth play out perfectly on audio. There's a quick preview excerpt of Tristan and Peyton's story at the end as well to get listeners/readers excited for the next book! If you're looking for a sweet, feel good romcom, you don't want to miss Asking For a Friend!

What’s with the 5-star ratings?
I usually enjoy LB books but this was a no hitter for me. It was slow and boring. I just couldn’t anymore. It was a DNF and not credit worthy. Narrators were top of the line but they couldn’t save this for me.

When your friends is in a slump in the dating game you decide it's for her to get back in the game. You make her a profile for an online dating site. You simply state asking for a friend. Let the games begin
