About this listen

Doing it on my own didn’t mean I wanted to be lonely.

Trevor

When I said I wanted to do it on my own, I didn’t think it’d be so hard. Barely managing to get by wouldn’t be so bad except for the gripping loneliness. I like to flirt, and at times it comes across as desperate, but maybe I am. After flirting with my boss’s brother, I didn’t think it would turn into what it did. After all, isn’t Aaron straight?

Aaron

Being thirty-five, the oldest child, and still single is, admittedly, a little embarrassing. When my brother asked me to be the best man at his wedding, I probably shouldn’t have invited the waiter who flirted with him. It’s not as if my family assumes that maybe I’m not so straight after being single for so long, so it shouldn’t be a shock to bring a man, right?

Trevor deserves all the love and sweetness and I'm so glad he found it all in the caring and loving Aaron!

While an unconditional start, I really enjoyed Joelle's approach to the fake dating trope and thank her so much for having the characters communicate with each other throughout the fake to real process.

These two are so sweet! I loved the balance of steamy, sweet and caring moments and I really enjoyed Aaron's discovery and how he embraces his feelings and attraction in stride, it was wonderfully refreshing.

Great, dynamic narration. The nuances of each character were performed wonderfully and the added emotional inflections made the story that much more engrossing!!

So sweet!

The Date Mistake is a very sweet story. The dynamic between Trevor and Aaron is exciting and the mutual attraction is sizzling. I also grew very fond of some of the secondary characters. I love Trevor's mom. JD Tomlinson brings the characters to life with his very versatile voice. I really enjoyed this audiobook.

Very sweet.

Reread as audiobook. A new to me narrator who I really enjoyed.
4.5 stars. Trevor is a truly lovable character in a very painful financial situation. It's really scary to think how many people are in that place or close to it, and it was really well portrayed here. The whole story felt very realistic, as did the insecurities and feelings of the MCs. The various tropes were combined seamlessly into an enjoyable whole.

excellent

This is the first time i have listened to a book by Joelle Lynne and the narrator JD Tomlinson.
I really enjoyed Trevor and Aaron’s story it starts as a fake date but they soon realise it’s not so fake for them but neither knows how to admit it to the other. Trevor was a really happy person at work and went out of his way to make every customer smile only to be brought down by his manager Angelo who i wanted to punch on several occasions.

So good

This was such a sweet read/listen. Low angst, boss/employee, fake wedding date turns to real chemistry & feelings. Was it perfect, I feel like I was missing some small details but overall a really enjoyable read and the narrator was very good too. looking forward to more from this author.

Sweet
