About this listen

Patrick’s To-Do List:

  1. Tell family I’m gay.
  2. Make giant cake for anniversary party.
  3. Convince Connor to be my fake boyfriend for the weekend.
  4. Try to keep my hands off Connor.
  5. Make sure Connor doesn’t find out I’ve been in love with him for the last three years.

Connor’s Steps for Success:

  1. Perfect pole routine for Chrome Stars.
  2. Continue search for perfect music.
  3. Survive weekend with Patrick’s family without mauling him while sharing a bed.
  4. Prevent feelings from exploding like a glitter bomb.
  5. Make sure Patrick doesn’t find out I’ve been in love with him forever.

Strawberry Kisses is a 78,000-word stand-alone, contemporary MM romance featuring a sweet pastry chef, sassy pole dancer, a nosy but loving family, fabulous makeup, fluffy feels, and copious amounts of cake.

I wasn't sure what I expected for Patrick's voice but the narrator nailed it. Each voice was distinctive and done simply.
Strawberry Kisses is a super sweet, friends to lovers story with a coming out and fake relationship. All were done well with plenty of communication between the characters and no unnecessary drama

Patrick and Connor are two wonderful characters. Patrick is just a big, sweet teddy bear of a pastry chef, completely (and secretly) in love with his best friend Connor. Connor, is a force of nature: a heels and make-up-wearing pole dancer, just as desperately, and secretly, in love with Patrick.
When they decide to fake being together over a weekend for the benefit of Patrick’s family, they’re not pretending at all, and the step from a fake to a true relationship is as simple as it is sweet.
Love Charlie Novak’s writing; it’s fresh and engaging and her stories are always a page-turner, or, in this case... I just couldn't stop listening!

I simply adored this book.

Story: A really cute friends to lovers story with a bit of a fake relationship theme thrown in. Charlie Novak did a great job of creating relatable, genuine characters. Both of the MCs and the secondary ones were very likable from the get go. The story holds no angst and is a real fluffy pleasure.
Narration: Great performance by Dan Calley. Easy to follow with discernible characters.

MM, Fake Relationship, Friends to lovers, Contemporary, Romance. Easy to read/listen to story, I had read the book and was thrilled when it came out on audio. Dan Calley gives these great characters their voices and I loved listening to their story come to life. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Guaranteed HEA.

I love that in this version of the fake boyfriend story, Patrick and Connor have both been in love with each other for years, but neither has stepped up and confessed that to the other. A family weekend or closer than close proximity, ensures that the secret can't be kept and these two get their lovely HEA. Dan Calley gave a great performance that captured all the sweetness and light in this story.

Great take on a favorite trope
