Publisher's summary

A dating experiment ignites a secret attraction in this steamy new rom-com from number one New York Times best-selling author Lauren Blakely!

Eight years ago I fell into a secret summer fling with my best friend’s little sister before our lives went in different directions. Now, I’m the grumpy to Juliet’s sunshine on a popular dating podcast we host, and when a wealthy fan gives us a charming coastal cottage as the biggest thank you ever, we head to the town where I grew up to give it a makeover.

And find the house has only one bed.

Located under a mirrored ceiling.

To make matters even harder, the bright, big-hearted woman I’ve been pining for tells me she wants to try to find the one and would I please be her dating coach for the week?

Like hell I’ll let her date other men. I’ll coach her on three dates with me.

But the second I take her out, I don’t feel like her teacher. I feel like she’s mine, especially when the first night ends with us tangled up together in that bed.

Each night we grow closer, but this dating experiment forces me to face my greatest fear–whether a man like me is worthy of her love.

Even though I’m already head over heels for her.

Very sweet story

The story was a little predictable. But it gave me lots of good feelings. I liked how the narrators were male and female during the story.

Wonderful narration

Zachary and Andi are always an automatic download for me, regardless of the author. However, The Accidental Dating Experiment turned out to be as wonderful as well. Sweet and spicy; the perfect mixture made for a great listen.

Fantastic addition

Monroe and Juliet wow this was really fun adventure The horny house was fantastic. I wish we had visuals to actually see what this house look like and the fantastic clothes from the closet. The three dates were so much fun. Their friendship from the get-go the support from their friends. The whole thing was just wonderful.

Loved the chemistry and laughs.

I don’t think this author can write a bad story. There’s always a perfect mix of creativity, humor and spice. How she can bring so much depth to rom coms is beyond me. This story did not disappoint.

Cute and spicy

Loved the story and length. It was fun and different- characters were well developed for a shorter story.
