About this listen

Narrated by best-selling rom-com duo Erin Mallon and Teddy Hamilton!

Dean is certain that fake dating the cute owner of his new bakery investment could be messy...but messy can be fun.

Norah Donahue wants bakeries, not babies, but her matchmaking mother won't stop trying to play Cupid.

Dean Moser is a cocky stock market savant whose friends are all settling down, leaving Boulder's infamous ladies' man all alone.

When Norah needs a fake date for her parents' anniversary party, her new silent investor is the perfect guy for the job. It seems like a foolproof plan....

That is until Norah decides to break her biggest rule and lock lips with Dean in the middle of the party to spite her meddling mother.

Turns out that Dean and Norah's chemistry is sizzling hot, and mixing business with pleasure could turn out to be a recipe for disaster.

Or maybe they can have their cake and eat it, too.

Nora and Dean are so fun and their "fake relationship" was one of the few I have actually enjoyed reading. It is not my favorite trope, but for the most part these two were honest with each other and not playing games. I loved Nora's independence, and Dean's button pushing. They were both strong characters with vulnerabilities that made them feel real. I enjoyed seeing the rest of the characters from the Wait With Me series and Erin Mallon and Teddy Hamilton were amazing as always. Teddy was especially growly in this one, and at one point in the book I forgot Erin was narrating Dean's lines because her man voice was on point in this one. This was a completely enjoyable romantic comedy, Amy Daws writes fun books!

P.S. I loved the Gilmore girl references and I am totally Team Dean (fight me)

Ah another great story from Amy Daws. The fourth book in the "Wait with me" series.

Dean the self made finance guy falls hard for Norah the gorgeous, ambitious baker. After striking out with Kate from Book 1 - Wait with me, and Lynsey from Book 3 - One Moment Please, Dean finally gets his HEA.

It all starts out as two friends helping each other out with keeping up appearances for Noah's family and Dean's friends. Who doesn't love a good fake romance? I certainly do, and all that talk of croinuts (not to be mistaken with cronuts) made me so hungry for pastries. These guys have hot and steamy "fake sex" and I was here for it. Also, I love that Amy didn't write Norah's dreams out of the story so they could be together in the end. Who says a woman can't have her croinuts and eat them too! Dean you were delicious and I loved that this eternal bachelor fell hard. These narrators definitely did this story justice. A great 4.5 stars listen.

I won this audibook in a giveaway by Amy Daws so thank you for gracing my ears with this deliciousness!!

Dean finally gets his HEA!

I honestly cannot express how fab Amy’s audio books are! The narrators really do bring the characters to life and I’m sure anyone that’s listened or read the story will agree that Norah and Dean are both exceptional characters!

Dean Moser is a huge flirt and manwhore .....and also a silent investor in Norahs bakery. When Norah needs a ‘no strings’ fake date she turns to Dean with a list of rules to pull off a fake relationship...and well I will leave it there as I don’t want to spoil the story!

Amy has once again delivered a unforgettable story. It has everything you would want in this type of story....Comedy, love, hotness....

I cannot recommend this enough! Amy has been a ‘go to’ author for me for a long time now and I can safely say she won’t be losing that title!

Amazing

I had hight expectations for this audiobook and it lived up to all of them.

I was glad to see that Dean will still the loveable, cocky guy that he was in the earlier books and that his personality hadn't changed just because he was the hero this time.

The narration by Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon was perfect.

Great story & narration

From the minute I met Dean Moser in Wait With Me, I have been impatient for his story.

And Ms Daws has not disappointed me with Take A Number.

I seriously loved this book. It is the next day, and I am still smiling about it.

Norah, from her pros and cons list, to the flirtatious Dean, this pair could not be more perfect for each other. The way they tease each other, the UST between them, it just made me need them together even more. They bring out the best in each other, even if they don't really realise they are doing it.


They shouldn't work, but they sure do - even when at times I wanted to bring out my inner Kate and croinut punch Dean. Oy, he really did deserve it I tell you!

The trademark Daws humour shines through (especially when Lynsey and Kate are involved) however I also felt a lot of emotions, and may have shed a couple of tears as I was reading.

From overbearing, matchmaking parents and best friends who think they know what is best, Dean and Norah make their way through the world of fake dating, to maybe, just maybe, find something real

Swoony and sexy and hot and lovely, Take A Number is just wondeful fun and it made me crave cake the whole time I was reading. You won't need to take a number when this book hits the shelves, just buy a copy and indulge yourself.

Mallon and Hamilton are two of my auto-listens. They could sit and read the phone book to me for 10 hours and I would happily listen to every second. They brought Norah and Dean to life.

Love it!
