The Flirting Game

By: Lauren Blakely

Narrated by: Sean Masters, Brooke Bloomingdale

Score big with this spicy, laugh-out-loud hockey rom-com with duet narration, from number one New York Times best-selling author Lauren Blakely!

My new neighbor is a hot, grumpy hockey player who works out shirtless on his porch every morning. But it’s not technically spying if I just happen to be on my patio at the same time ... right?

Imagine my surprise when the sexy grouch turns out to be the client who just hired me to redecorate the house he’s giving his mom.

What’s a ray of sunshine like me to do? Pretend I’ve never noticed his abs while we pick out furniture—since I’d never date a client. And Ford Devon? He’s made it clear this is his final season, and he wants zero distractions.

Which means I need to exercise some serious resistance ...

To his cool blue eyes that track my every move.

To that deep voice that makes me shiver.

And to the mouth that shuts me up one night in our shared backyard with a scorching kiss.

Oops.

We agree it’s a one-time slip up. But when he insists on being my date to my cheating ex’s party ... we slip up again into a very fun sleepover. With our dogs watching!

One fake date at a charity gala turns into another at a hockey game, and somewhere between fabric swatches and porch picnics, I stop pretending.

But how do I convince Ford that with me, he can have both love and hockey?

Perfect Amount of Spice and Sexual Tension!

This one got me. Maybe it was just the edible I had taken lol, but I actually did cry at the end! I REALLY enjoy Lauren Blakely's (relatively) low drama steamy romance stories.

Don't get me wrong, I also love the romantasy "you're my political enemy and I can't be king and save all my people if we stay together" stuff, but knowing ahead of time that nothing huge or heartbreaking is going to happen is a much needed alternative.

The flirting got a tad silly and cringey a couple times, but what's not realistic about that lol?? Highly recommend this and the other Lauren Blakely that I've read so far!

Lauren Blakely! Top romantic comedy writer bar NONE

Ms. Blakely has yet to disappoint! This was a chefs kiss. The spice was spicy and the romance was heart felt. And side eye Simon is my spirit animal. Loved it. I will be reading the other books in the series.

The Flirting Game

It was awesome love story. it was sweet of neighbors loving each other. completely amazing story.

Fun storyline. Steamy love

A quick read. Fun and steamy. Realistic characters and storyline. I love the vintage decor bits, too.

Loved it all!!

The cuteness factor is over the top. Seriously! A dachshund with side eye nd a humping humping problem. A hot neighbor, grumpy sunshine, full of endearment and hilarious banter. This story has everything! What's even better than the story? The voice over artists that bring it all to life. AI's got nothing on Sean Masterson & Brooke Bloomingdale. They are masters of their craft!
