Resumen del Editor

A sexy, falling-for-my-brother's-best-friend sports romance from number-one New York Times best seller Lauren Blakely!

Let me make a few things clear. I didn’t go to the wedding intending to dance with the best man, to dare him to show me a very sexy pic on his phone, or to accidentally kiss him in the hotel elevator after the reception ended.

But things just happen at weddings....

The next day, Crosby and I agree to put all those shenanigans behind us. The fun-loving, stupidly gorgeous, all-star baseball player might be my brother’s best friend, but he’s my good friend too and has been for years.

I can't risk losing him, even though now I can't stop thinking about how much I want him to be my first.

Maybe I'll make him a proposition.

NOT the same old story of the V card!!!

OK, so every reader knows the whole V card, virgin romance has been so over played. I’m saving myself for marriage, I need to fall in love or it needs to be so perfect and special; all of those ideas have all been written about, repeatedly. Boring.

Happily this story is none of those. It is simply a matter of a strong, independent, woman who is busy living life. Nadia isn’t some sweet, innocent who has been kept away from the real world. No, unfortunately for her, men are intimidated by her wealth and power. They want someone who needs to be taken care of. Which is so not her. She is fierce, smart, and can take care of herself thank you very much B.O.B.!

Crosby is her childhood friend who shares a lot of common interests. He is very open minded and accepting. He is also very confident in his masculinity, funny and just plain fun to be around.

They often have to attend the same gatherings since they are both a part of the sports world. Nadia is moving back home and Crosby is getting ready to take off to training camp. In order to keep himself from slipping in to his same old bad patterns he offers up an idea that they be each other’s plus one for all of their upcoming events. Easy peasy. Except nothing is ever as easy as it seems and the story that unfolds…sizzles!

Perfect narration, perfect casting!

The Virgin Rule Book is the first book in a new series, Rules of Love, by my favorite author, Lauren Blakely. I've read every word she's written and nothing makes me happier than when she starts a new series. This series is going to be epic! We're getting three sexy baseball players and the strong, independent women who they fall for. Nadia is Crosby's best friend's little sister. Crosby always had a little thing for her when they were younger, but she was young and he didn't think his best friend would like that. They've kept in touch over the years and now that she's moving back to town, he's excited to see more of her. But he just swore off women so there's no chance of anything real with her. When they both need dates to so upcoming parties, this is the perfect solution. Have fun with Nadia and not have to worry about getting involved. Until she has a proposition for him and then it's game on! Spend more time with Nadia? Take her V card? Yes, please! Turns out, they like each other more than a little, but it's complicated. There have to be rules to follow so no one gets hurts. But you know what they say, rules are meant to be broken! Oh Crosby! I love you so much! You're sexy, sweet, talented and you have such a big heart. Nadia is independent, funny and even though she's a virgin she knows what she wants and isn't afraid to ask for it! Overall, I laughed, smiled, got tingles and couldn't get enough of Crosby and Nadia! I'm in love with this new series and these characters and I can't wait for more.

Audio: As Always Teddy and Erin are fantastic. I don't think anyone else could be Crosby and Nadia! Perfect narration, perfect casting!

Perfect amount of sweet and heat!

Lauren always brings the perfect amount of sweet & heat to her stories. You can’t help but fall in love with these characters. I enjoyed Crosby and Nadia’s flirty banter and conversations and this story just made my heart happy. I loved how much of a boss lady Nadia was and Crosby was so swoony. I loved the narration from Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon they are a great pair and they really brought Nadia and Crosby to life. Another great book from Lauren.

Absolutely loved it!!

I absolutely adored this book and this couple!! Crosby and Natalie are absolutely perfect together!! Natalie is Crosby's best friend Eric's sister so pretty much off limits as long as he has known her. They go from long time friends, to each others' plus one at events, to friends with benefits, to totally and madly in love. They have incredible chemistry and set the sheets on fire for sure, but their friendship is the sweetest and the feelings that develop between them happen so organically and honestly did not take long. When Crosby tells Natalie:
"You are the best thing, and you have been happening to me for years". I was totally swooning!
Their story is so sweet, so sexy, so much fun and oh so special. I loved it so much! Listening to this as an audiobook was just awesome! Teddy Hamilton is perfection as Crosby and Erin Mallon slays as Natalie. They bring these characters to life with such feeling. This is such an entertaining listen that will put a smile on your face that will surely stick around even after it's over. Fantastic start to this new series and I can't wait for what else Lauren Blakely has in store with this one!

Always spectacular audios!!

This audio was absolutely perfect!! The cast of narrators were amazing and I loved loved loved all of the characters! Such a wonderful feel good love story!

Good Book

Great story, also I loved the narrators! Thank You Lauren Blakely, your Amazing ! Totally Awesome

Crosby and Nadia...Finally!!!

Being the owner of an NFL team in Las Vegas, Nadia is a very busy woman. She doesn’t have much time to date, but has decided to make the time, and enlist the help of a professional matchmaker. When the results of that endeavor prove to be fruitless, Nadia decides maybe she should focus on her job instead of trying to find Mr. Right.

Crosby, a big-time baseball player, hasn’t had any trouble finding girlfriends—they just end up being expensive disasters…every time. When he decides to take himself off the dating market, his teammates are there to help.

Nadia’s brother Eric is Crosby’s best friend from childhood, but that hasn’t stopped her and Crosby from having a great (sometimes flirty) friendship, too. Both being in professional sports, their paths cross from time to time.

While attending Eric’s wedding, Crosby and Nadia are chatting, and shared their similar woes w/the opposite sex. Since they attend some of the same sports functions, instead of attending solo, they have the bright idea to be each other’s Plus-One. They’re friends, and get along great, so what could possibly go wrong? The fact that they’re both attracted to each other could be an issue.

This was a beautiful story. I’ve waited it seems like forever for Crosby and Nadia’s story, and it was so worth the wait. You’ve got an NFL lady boss who isn’t afraid to ask for what she wants, and a hot AF baseball player with a seriously on-point gift for dirty talk and flirting. Even though we already knew these two were made for each other a while ago, Lauren gives us a great fairy tale we all deserve. With all the heat and swooniness we've all come to love. THERE'S A LOT OF NASTY TIMES!!

Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon give a great performance narrating, and stick around for the extras at the end. I’ve already laid claim to one of those extras (hot Brit James Joseph)! You won’t be disappointed.

Another home run for LB!

I adore a strong, smart, wealthy, accomplished heroine and the confident, self-assured man who can handle her and not be intimidated or outshined. I’m so happy to hear Nadia’s story and to touch base with characters from her other books as well. This friends to lovers (and one just happens to be a virgin) story set in a world of sports and business was just the new direction I needed from Lauren Blakely for this next series of books. Still sexy, low angst, feel-good stories with the HEA I alway need. Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon were the perfect choice for these two and nailed the performance as always. And the epilogues were delicious little teasers for what’s to come.

This is a really fun book

This is maybe my favorite book from Lauren. Really really good and of course the narration is awesome. Love Erin Thanks for another great book

love it

so by now you're already a huge Lauren Blakely fan and you already know that anything Aaron Allen and Teddy Hamilton agree to narrate is beyond amazing... so basically all I can say is just by it you'll fall in love and be addicted to the rest of this series.
