About this ebook

The #1 New York Times Bestseller! A hot and hilarious new romantic comes from the author of smash hits MISTER O and BIG ROCK...

I’ve been told I have quite a gift.

Hey, I don’t just mean in my pants. I’ve got a big brain too, and a huge heart of gold. And I like to use all my gifts to the fullest, the package included. Life is smooth sailing...

Until I find myself stuck between a rock and a sexy roommate, which makes for one very hard…place.

Because scoring an apartment in this city is harder than finding true love. So even if I have to shack up with my buddy’s smoking hot and incredibly amazing little sister, a man’s got to do what a man’s got to do.

I can resist Josie. I’m disciplined, I’m focused, and I keep my hands to myself, even in the mere five-hundred square feet we share. Until the one night she insists on sliding under the covers with me. It’ll help her sleep after what happened that day, she says.

Spoiler—neither one of us sleeps. 

Did I mention she’s also one of my best friends? That she’s brilliant, beautiful and a total firecracker? Guess that makes her the full package too.

What’s a man stuck in a hard place to do?

Ratings and reviews

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Chase is my very favorite Blakely boy! And that's saying something because she wrote my ultimate book husband in Brent Nichols. But oh Chase! He's just too adorable for words. Full Package really is the full package. It's funny, sweet, and sexy- it'll have you laughing out loud one second and fanning yourself the next. Josie and Chase are #couplegoals. They're best friends whose friendship grows and strengthens throughout the novel, even as their feelings blossom into something more than merely friendship. I had so much fun reading this book- these 2 are so delightful and entertaining. The banter, the teasing, the innuendos...trademark Blakely brilliance! I could not get enough of it all. If you're a fan of friends-to-lovers, brother's-best friend, best friend's-little sister romances, Full Package is seriously the book for you. Everything about this book filled me up with happiness and I didn't want it to end! I love that we got a chance to visit with characters from the previous books, and I'm really looking forward to the rest of the books to come!

I don't think I could love a book more than I love Full Package! It was absolute perfection with a cherry on top! There was just the right amount of everything - sexual chemistry, humor, angst, family, and friendship. I am a huge fan of the friends to lovers trope and Full Package did not disappoint! Chase and Josie are deliciously amazing - both individually and together. I loved how strong and independent Josie was, but also vulnerable and sweet at the same time. She is unapologetically honest about her sexuality and it was refreshing to see that celebrated. The witty banter and innuendo between Chase and Josie made for an excellent slow burn and I think Chase has ruined me now for all other book boyfriends. The story is told from his POV (although we get small snippets of Josie through the clever use of recipes) and only made me love him more. He had plenty of swoony moments (ahem, pink hair dye), and holy moly, some absolutely scorching sexy times (ahem, a little hide and seek after walking home from the train after work) that had my heart racing and dying to read more. Another thing I loved about Full Package, is that there isn't any unnecessary drama. Just the very real concerns and fears about what happens when the lines of friendship become blurred. Yes, it's a romance, but above all it's a story about friendship and what you're willing to do (and deny) to insure that that relationship survives. I loved how perfectly relatable Josie and Chase's situation was. Can friends become lovers? And can you go back after you cross that line? You definitely don't want to miss this 5 star romantic comedy! Chase and Josie's story will leave you with the BEST book hangover and I can't wait to Max's story next in Joy Stick! *I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this book*

This fun, sexy, playful book is just what the doctor ordered. I LOVE THIS BOOK! Full Package definitely lives up to its name. A male pov friends to lovers/ best friend’s sister/ roommate forbidden romance with tons of humor, hot steamy scenes, a swoony doctor, and a sassy baker. Mix in some candy, peanut butter brownies and cinnamon and wrap it all up in a fruit roll up…you got yourself a book you’ll fall in love with. It’s everything I could ever ask for…It’s the full package. Doctor McHottie, erm I mean Chase Summers, is in need of an apartment. Josie Hammer needs a roommate. They’re best friends. Living together is the best solution for both their problems. Even if Chase thinks Josie is hot, he can live with her without changing their relationship because compartmentalizing is his specialty. He tries his hardest to fight any feelings that begin to develop being in such a close quarters because he isn’t looking for love and Josie wants it all, the full package. But then, it gets to be too difficult to ignore their attraction. They agree to enjoy their time before the attraction wears out. Josie and Chase are great additions to the long roster of amazing Lauren Blakely characters. She has created one more charming, smart, sexy guy to lust over and another strong, sassy and equally smart heroine who I want as my best friend. Goodness! She writes the most likable characters ever! I can’t get enough. I just adore their friendship. I love that they can exchange fun flirty banter but also go deeper into more serious topics. Their chemistry in and out of the bedroom is off the chart wonderful. He’s her personal taste tester. It’s so cute. Chase may be best friends with Josie’s brother Wyatt Hammer but his friendship with her is just as important to him. You absolutely feel his love and, if I’m honest, I’m a little jealous of Josie. One more thing, even though it is a all male pov, I love that Lauren Blakely finds clever ways to allow readers into the minds of the heroines as well. Whether it be through texts or this case yummy recipes, it is all so brilliant and fun. My diagnosis…Full Package is another hit for Lauren Blakely! The woman can’t be stopped. These all-male POVs are fan-freaking-tastic. I love everything about them. I’m so hungry for more. I can’t wait for Max’s story!!
