Publisher's Summary

Please note: This book was previously published as Dear Bridget I Want You. Only the title and cover have been changed. All other content remains the same. 

From The New York Times best-selling authors of Stuck-Up Suit and Mister Moneybags comes a new, sexy stand-alone novel. 

Dear Bridget, 

I’m writing this letter because it’s highly doubtful I’ll ever garner the courage to say this to your face.

So, here goes. 

We’re totally wrong for each other. You’re the proper single mum with a good head on your shoulders. I’m just the carefree British doctor passing through town and temporarily living in your converted garage until I head back to England. 

But here’s the thing...for some bloody reason, I can’t stop thinking about you in very inappropriate ways. 

I want you. 

The only reason I’m even admitting all of this to you right now is because I don’t believe it’s one-sided. I notice your eyes when you look at me, too. And as crass as I appear when we’re joking around about sex, my attraction to you is not a joke. 

So, what’s the purpose of this note? I guess it’s a reminder that we’re adults, that sex is healthy and natural, and that you can find me just through the door past the kitchen. More specifically, it’s to let you know that I’m leaving said door cracked open from now on in case you’d fancy a British bedmate in the middle of the night sometime. 

No questions asked. 

Think about it. 

Or don’t. 

Whatever you choose. 

It’s doubtful I’ll even end up sliding this letter under your door anyway. 

-Simon

Featured Article: Best Romance Authors For a Little Love Into Your Life


You can never have enough romance in your life. If there isn't enough in the real world, there's always an entire history of romance novels to get lost in, from the Victorian stylings of Jane Austen (who doesn't dream of Mr. Darcy?) to contemporary romance authors like Talia Hibbert After all, who doesn't love a good swoon from time to time? You can't beat a good love story, and there are many reasons why television and cinema are filled with their adaptations.

Thoroughly enjoyed

The narrators spoke in a way that you’d actually expect of the characters (tone, pace and emotion), which is important for me while listening to a story.

I really enjoyed this book. The romance storyline was great, not stretched/drawn out/over dramatic like most I have listened to so far (like the free audible ones). It felt very realistic. There was great humour in it. And the sexy bits were not over the top, and were very satisfying. I often found myself listing longer than I planned, sometimes for over an hour, because I was so hooked on the story!

One of my favourites in a while.

Surprisingly good

Why Surprisingly good?

I bought this book strictly because Zachary Webber and Andi Arndt. These two narrators are my favorite. And yes in the book they did not fail.

I’m not a fan of the British accent, not at all. Nails on a chalkboard.
But Zachary and Andi did amazing. Yea they both did the accent but it really was more or less just a touch. Maybe I only like a touch of British. I have tried a few times, not a fan.

But enough about the awesome narration.
They plot was amazing. I loved every second.

You can’t pick who you fall for, yap you hear it all the time. It’s true.

I have listened to Vi and Penelope books and love their writings. They are also great as they also solo.

Huge love for this book!

Where to start. I just finished listening to British Bedmate and I’m in giddy love with Simon and Brigette. Simon is everything a girl wants in her book boyfriend. So cocky but also sweet. I just loved all the dirty wonderful things that came out of his mouth.

The story was captivating, fun, steamy, emotional without getting over mushy. It was perfection! This has become a favourite by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland. The narrators were fantastic. Can I just say I need to get my arse to England for more of the accent!

Emotional, funny and heartfelt story

Great story! Loved the characters! My first time reading these authors and really enjoyed it.

Andi and Zach are absolutely perfect in their narration. My only suggestion for improvement would be to have narrated the book "duet style" where Andi would always read Bridget's part, and Zach would always read Simon's part, no matter who's chapter it was.

A fun, steamy entertaining romance

I seriously adore this story! I listened to it on audio so Simon's British accent was glorious thanks to Zachary Weber's narration. The funny banter, innuendos and quips were so funny I neay chocked from laughter so many times. The thing that always impresses me from these two authors is the way they turn a simple plot, a nice cute premise and potential for romance, and inject important topics. They don't deter or become the story but add a richer dimension to it. It's a great read! Thanks for the laughs!

Great story & expertly told by both narrators. Very satisfying ending as well. The humour was brilliant - a common thread in Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland’s stories.

A HEARTWARMING AND DELICIOUS ROM/COM

This lighthearted dual POV love story had a couple of loveable characters who wanted very different things out of life.. but, as the sweet sexy hero says “you don’t choose love - love chooses you”. Simon and Bridget were in two very different places in their lives - they tried to just be friends.. however, their sizzling chemistry and mutual attraction couldn’t be denied. And, before long, the carefree handsome charming twenty-nine yr old British Doctor is proposing naughty things, dirty-talking his way into her Monday Tuesday Wednesday etc etc... and unwittingly falling hard for the thirty plus yr old widowed Mom/Nurse. Bridget is a devoted Mom, she’s cautious and diligent but somehow Simon weaves his charismatic ways into hers and her son’s lives and they’d love him to stay there. Unfortunately though, that’s not going to be possible because Simon’s planning to go back home to the UK after his internship and so their relationship’s got an end date.. but thankfully Fate and Destiny had other plans.

An easy-going romance with heart, heat and a loveable charmer who proves himself worthy over and over again. It’s a fairly predictable yet totally addictive low angst story however these two talented authors still managed to add a jaw-dropping shocking twist that wow I didn’t see coming. Despite tragedy in both their pasts there was an ease and playfulness to the story as Simon and Bridget just clicked together. With plenty of humorous scenes as the carefree droolworthy Playboy falls for the independent strong yet vulnerable Mom.. and her cute eight yr old son.

Worth a credit? Yes.. a perfectly narrated enjoyable and entertaining Rom/com that had flirty banter leading to passion, pleasures, love and sweet HEA’s.

All the Feels

Loved this book! I like both of these authors but almost didn’t buy this book as the description didn’t totally hook me. I’m glad that I went ahead and purchased it, as it hit all the buttons for me. And, oh my, I could listen to Zachary Webber’s British accent ALL DAY LONG! If you like hot, dirty talking, alpha doctors with sexy accents, do yourself a favor and click that “Buy Now” button.

Cute and sweet 👍

Another hit by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland!! When you put these two together and it's romantic comedy magic. This is a sexy, light, enjoyable listen.

Nurse Bridget has an incident with a 🐟 hook in an awkward place that lands her in the ER. The doctor that comes to fetch out the hook is a young, attractive playboy named Simon. His joking tone about the situation at hand throws single mom Bridget off kilter.

After loosing her husband to a car crash her dating life has been non existent. Bridget just dismisses the indecent but can't stop thinking of Simon. While raising her son and trying to keep the house she and her husband bought together, dating is something not only is she not ready for but, doesn't have the time to pursue. When her yoga instructor hooks her up with a renter. As it turns out he's a doctor completing his residency. When he shows up of course, it's "hottie ER doctor" Simon. awkward..

The flirting banter that ensues between Bridget and Simon will have your belly swimming with butterflies. The chemistry between these two is instant the romance is not. The slow sexy build up will have you squirming in your panties lol.

The narration only added to this enchanting book. Andi and Zack are favorites of mine. They always do a fantastic job. I wasn't sure how I would feel about the accent needed to portray Simon but Zack nailed it and made it sexy. This 5 star listen was certainly worth the credit!

Perfect steamy romance

Now this is how a steamy romance is written! If you are looking for a clean romance, this is not it but if you are ok with a few sex scenes with a really sweet story, this is it! I have listened to so many books where sex was the plot. I need a good story to go along with the steam. Loved it!!

Pleasant Story

This story was very pleasant to listen to. I liked how Simon developed emotionally throughout the book as well did Bridget. They were both stuck and lost in time; I mean they couldn’t have predicted what happened go their significant others. Also, the authors show how monotony is your worse enemy in a relationship, which suggests that both parties have to work hard to keep the spark going. I suppose the authors touch up on the subject a bit.

The performance was stellar for both Andi and Zachary. I would never get tired of listening to them! Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland did a good job! 👏🏼

This book is one of the best I’ve had the pleasure of reading. Fabulous characters that I fell in love with and the narration by Webber and Arndt, superb as always. A love story that will keep your attention and give you warm fuzzies at the end. Do not hesitate to use that credit. You’ll love it, I promise.
