Publisher's Summary

A sexy romantic comedy narrated duet-style by all-star narrators Joe Arden and Erin Mallon! 

That time I had the brilliant idea to ask my good friend for lessons in seduction.... 

Awkward? Maybe. But how else is a good girl going to find out if she likes being naughty?  

And Gabe is charming, trustworthy, aces at seduction (or so I hear), and willing to give me lessons. But to guarantee it won’t ruin our friendship, I want these classes to be hypothetical more than hands-on.  

So what if he’s hella sexy? I can handle that, no problem.  

I have it bad for Arden. She’s bright, brilliant, and insanely fun. When she asks for my help, I see my chance to win her sweet heart by showing her how much fun we can have getting spicy.  

Trouble is, she has a different idea of what “sex-ploration” should mean. Now I’m going to have to get really clever to win her over.   

Good thing I know exactly how to upend her best laid plans. 

Make sure you listen all the way to the end for a bonus behind-the-curtains conversation between the two narrators!

Cute but Very predictable

The story was cute and I liked the duet performance. The performers did a good job. The story was predictable and a light for of 50 Shades.
I liked it but glad I got in on a Prime Member sale

Sweet Story

the Narration was fantastic, this was the first time I have listened to a duet like this, wasn't sure what to expect but it definitely was a great experience....think movie without a screen. The story was Corny though, I struggled at the beginning but I normally never put books down until I'm done. Benefit of the doubt. I just found it an extremely predictable, story. it was sweet though.

Not so good

The storyline was stupid. Who would be so naively stupid to plan what the female character did? Sex scenes not so hot. I also HATED the female narrators way of talking in this book. At many points every word she spoke ended with a guttural lowering of her voice, other times it was just the end of a sentence. I suppose she thought it was sexy (better to be used in a book men read, not a book for women). I found it TOTALLY ANNOYING!! At the end of the book the male & female narrators talked about the book & other things. Her voice was normal.

Good lord...

I'm all for a hot and steamy book, but this one is horrible! And the voices of the readers... not appropriate for this type of book. the woman is way too breathy, like, need and inhaler there? and the guy sounds like he's reading a news report. This storyline is steeped in stereotypes of the dumb maiden that needs saving by the hot superhero firefighter. Unrealistic and booooooring.

Have heard better from Lauren Blakely books

The first half I couldn’t listen to Arden. What a stupid girl. How do you practice with sex without having sex. It’s like learning how to drive only sitting on the couch. Get in the driver’s seat for peets sake.
Gabe was amazing.
Duel narration in this book was a great idea. Erin Mallon is fantastic as always.

As of now I have not finished the book but I’m going to try. I hope it gets better. I’ll keep you posted.
