About this listen
A nerdy wallflower recruits her athlete roommate to give her love lessons.
As a Highland Games athlete and firefighter, I’m used to women trying to get under my kilt. But I never expected to be propositioned by my bookworm roommate.
Casey’s one of my best friends and my buddy’s younger sister. What am I supposed to do when she confesses that she’s on a mission to lose her virginity—and I’m the guy she trusts to do the deed?
If I say no, she’ll only turn to another dude instead. Someone’s got to keep her out of trouble, so I agree to give her some hands-on experience. A little friends-with-benefits action shouldn’t be a problem. I can teach Casey how to bring a man to his knees and still keep things platonic.
Uh, yeah. Small problem. The more boxes we check off on Casey’s lesson plan, the more I realize I’ve taught her too well.
Because the man she’s bringing to his knees is me.
Kilt to Order is a sizzling small-town brother's-best-friend rom-com that features a found family of muscly men in kilts, a spunky book-nerd virgin, a protective playboy roommate who agrees to be her love coach, and a guaranteed HEA for these two adorable friends to lovers.

Gareth is a firefighter who despite his reservations wants to ensure that it is the best experience possible for Casey. Seeing the friendship between them evolve into something much deeper as well as the trust and acceptance they had of each other only reinforced how perfect they were for each other.
Lee Samuels was a great choice for Gareth as he brought out his caring and charming sides while Callie Dalton brought out both the self-doubt when it comes to men and the strength when it comes to knowing what she wants, and they both had you feeling the humor and emotion of the story.
Casey and Gareth!

My main problem with it, to be honest, was the fact that the characters sounded way younger than their age. I get that, with that whole roommate situation, there was a college mood going on–four people living together, including one woman and three men, looks like a dorm. But they all have serious jobs, they’re responsible adults in their late twenties or early thirties, why do they act like jocks?
Okay, there may be one reason: they’re actually jocks. Sort of. They all participate in Highland games. That was an original athletic pursuit, I think. Almost sad that it wasn’t used more.
At least, it’s a good occasion to see the dynamics between the main characters. Because it’s the characters that drive this story. You get one big trait of each of them at the beginning, so you have a taste of who they are, but you won’t know their whole story before much later in the book. And I guarantee you’ll be surprised. The angst is low, but not non existent.
The fun, on the other hand, is quite present. Besides the characters’ quirks, there are a lot of hilarious conversations, mostly between friends, and a few very funny situations.
And the romance is great. Casey and Gareth are friends, first and foremost. And they actually already love each other, even before they sleep together, it’s obvious. But they need that arrangement to get past their hangups and finally open to each other. Once they discover how compatible they are, and considering how they already trust each other, there’s only one possible result.
The narration was great. The female narrator is perfect for Casey’s quirky energy, and the male narrator does Gareth’s sensible calm, and later his simmering passion, quite well. A very good audiobook indeed.

Update - I just listened to the audio version of Kilt to Order and was able to experience the book in a different way. Since it was my second time through, all the firsts for Gareth stood out and it was more apparent that both characters were a little out of their comfort zone.
The audiobook is narrated by the team of Callie Dalton and Lee Samuels. I thought they did a great job with the narration.
I received a copy of the book at my request, and the opinions here are my own.
Great narration, stand alone story

🎧📚🎧And for the fabulous narration, Callie Dalton and Lee Samuels did an amazing job bringing the characters to life and did so with a complete understanding of who they were portraying, giving each a voice that was believable and fitting. Samuels grasped every aspect of Gareth’s persona and Dalton did the same for Casey, quirks, and all. Both were just as amazing performing the roles of secondary characters, too. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These entertaining storytellers are versatile voice artists and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another wonderful listen.
