Summary
 An utterly addictive, roomies-to-lovers MM romance from #1 New York Times Bestselling author Lauren Blakely writing as L. Blakely! Narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Shane East in duet with a full cast! Look, when I met the sexy, witty Brit on the streets of London last night, I had no idea who he was. He was just that hot guy I wanted to have a drink with so I asked him out for my first evening in town. One thing almost led to another. After a midnight kiss, we made plans for a whole lot more the next day. But when I unlock the door to my rental in the morning, the English hottie is lounging on the couch like he lives here too. Great. For the next year Ill be sharing a tiny flat with the sexiest guy Ive ever known. Time for a few simple rules -- dont walk around the flat wearing only a towel, dont spend our nights together exploring London, and dont crack open my secrets for him. Even as I smash all those rules, I try to resist falling for the cocky charmer. But after a taste of his lips, I give all the way in, telling myself one night and we wont fall in love. Too bad in the morning I discover that hiding my true feelings is the least of my worries, compared to a twist I never see coming. This is book one of TJ and Judes romance. Tropes include: roomies to lovers, London romance, opposites attract, friends to lovers. Performed with a full supporting cast including: Vanessa Edwin, JF Harding, James Joseph, Faye Adele, Evan Parker, Shakira Shute, Robbie Martino, Blake Lockheart, Stephanie Németh-Parker and Stella Hunter.©2020 Top Notch Boyfriend Books (P)2026 Top Notch Boyfriend Books Contemporary Romance England Witty Heartfelt Funny Emotions

Ignitable but believable chemistry, full of spice and will steal your heart.

Hopelessly Bromantic is the first book in the duet and should be read/ listened to in order. There is also a prequel: Shameless Flirt that is free and leads straight into Hopelessly Bromantic.

I savoured every page of TJ and Jude’s love story. Hopelessly Bromantic was magical. Don’t get me wrong it was flirty, fun, and deliciously hot … the slow burn (which I’m not normally a fan of) was exquisite; each conversation, each innocent touch had more chemistry, more heat than some books contain as a whole. Their words made me flush, laugh, smile, and talk out loud. Sometimes a book you think is ordinary becomes so much more - this was that book. Hopelessly Bromantic is like a memoir of love. What was supposed to be light and flirty became spellbinding. And isn’t that the true joy of reading?

What I love about Lauren Blakely romances is that they are both real and dreamy at the same time. Her books are always so fun and extra to both read and listen to. This is my first time listening to a full cast. I wasn’t sure if I would like it and had already decided I wasn’t downloading the audiobook because of it, but after reading some of their story - I needed to listen to it as well. I wouldn’t say it enhanced the book, but it also didn’t hinder the story in anyway: it was just there. However, Teddy Hamilton and Shane East are just perfect for narrating this book. Their voices matched the characters so well I was convinced that they were TJ and Jude.

The ending was so powerful and tied up the book perfectly. I loved how it wasn’t a major, super surprising cliffhanger, which I didn’t know I really needed.

The Men of Summer series were my favourite books by Lauren Blakely and since then I have struggled with the recent books. However, Hopelessly Bromantic is up there on the same level as the Men of Summer series.

Simply a wonderful story that you won’t want to miss.

A great story and brilliant narration with a full supporting cast. Teddy and Shane are the perfect pairing and brought the characters to life. I am delighted with the ending, a cliffy so we have so much more to look forward to. Bring on the rest, i can't wait.

A great listen and more to come!
