Audio Review This is one of those books that you need to listen to with no preconceived ideas it’s a story that will touch you on so many different levels, yes it has some humour but it also covers grief and moving on. Jason Clarke and Amanda Ronconi did an amazing job bringing this book to life, they had all the right tones for all the emotions you will feel while listening to this enemies to lovers story. Zack and Piper have been frenemies for many years and neither of them expected feelings to develop but sometimes love happens when we least expect it and with the last person we expect. Zach’s priority will always be his two adorable children and bringing them up and having a busy lawyers practice really leaves no time for anything else but Piper works in the same office block so he seems to be forever bumping into the last person he wants a relationship with. Piper is ready to start a relationship and she knows what she wants and expects will Zack be able to give her all she wants.. This book has all the feels, it’s about overcoming grief, it’s about families and friends , it’s about sharing laughter but most importantly it’s about love and the narrators did a wonderful job with it all. This has to be on my list of top listens for 2019 please do yourself a favour and one click now.

4.5🌟’s You could call this book a second chance romance because each of them had experienced loved before but it’s really more a frenemy to lovers tale. These two have the same friends from college and have known each other for over ten years. As they hang in the same circles, they have the opportunity to share an office space in Manhattan. It is their thing to pay each other out so the banter starts out funny but over time turns more flirty and later on, dirty! I loved Zach! From the onset he knew what he wanted, even when attending college. He had a dream life, until tragedy strikes. He has to keep a level head as he now has two kids to raise single handedly. And he does so brilliantly. He’s an awesome dad and a great provider. Piper has seen first hand how great a dad he is, and enjoys spending time with his kids more so than him! This all changes when they are maid of honor and best man at their friends wedding. Piper sees a different side to Zach, and I think he does with her too. He sees her sweet and salty manner and is smitten. I always enjoy reading a Lauren Blakely novel. She takes you on a ride that is animated and passionate. They are jam packed full of humor and of course embrace a delectable love story. You can’t go wrong with any of her books and I highly recommend this one.

5 star review of Never Have I Ever by Lauren Blakely Audio review - If I could I would give this 10 stars This was a slightly more serious story from Lauren Blakely as although it was full of steam and her trademark humour that has made her so successful, it also dealt with grief and moving on. Never Have I Ever is one of the best audio books that I have listened to this year. You need to listen to this one and form your own opinions as for me it was a fabulous experience listening to Jason Clarke and Amanda Ronconi. It is a story of enemies to lovers, overcoming grief, acceptance, family, laughter, friendship and above all love. I fell hard and fast for Zach Nolan and honestly he just melted my heart; he is my newest book boyfriend. Zach and Piper Radcliff have been frenemies for years and the last thing either of them expected was to develop feelings for one another. This story was at times highly emotional as Zach and Piper navigated their relationship all the while keeping it on the down low. The relationship that Zach has with his children Lucy and Henry was so heart warming and I loved how the friendship developed between Piper and Lucy in particular. Of course the chemistry between Zach and Piper was smoking hot and there were plenty of laugh out loud moments through out. I don’t think I will ever play a game of Never Have I Ever without immediately recalling this audio book. Loved, loved, loved.
