About this ebook

I need a fake date. She needs my late-night expertise. Now, if we can just keep our hands off each other...

As the premier best-man-for hire in all of Manhattan, I promise discretion, so when I need a plus one for a couple of “I dos,” I turn to my gorgeous, clever, witty best friend’s sister. She's my good friend, too, and I lust after her completely. I mean, I TRUST her completely.

After all, just look how she's kept her lips sealed about the hot, multi-O night we spent together. Yes, just look at those sexy lips.

In any case, we only fell off the wagon once, and it was months ago. I’m sure we can make it through these weddings without banging each other in the limo. 

Or can we?

INSTANT GRATIFICATION is a sexy, standalone romantic comedy!

Ratings and reviews

Another romcom hit by Lauren Blakely. This brother’s best friend, friends to lovers storyline is scorching hot, sexy and laugh out loud funny. Jason and Trudy’s connection and banter will have you hooked until the end. I enjoyed the past storyline characters making an appearance as well as new characters, hinting at new stories. A must read.

Instant Gratification brings about the story of Jason and Truly. He is a dapper English gentleman who is living in Manhattan giving help to the masses on manners and men’s advice, she is the owner of a Gin Joint. They have many things in common especially being workaholics. Jason’s best friend Malone happens to be Truly’s twin brother, the main reason they feel they can not be together. Truly doesn’t want a repercussion of when Malone dated her best friend and it ended badly. So because of this we get a slow burn feel to this book and a lot of sexual tension! And it wouldn’t be a Lauren Blakely book if there wasn’t plenty of banter as well. I quite enjoyed this book, it took me a little while to connect with the characters and their dilemma but I got there before half way. Then I was hooked to see how this couple would end up and I wasn’t disappointed. I also love how we get little cameos from characters in previous books. It feels like you’re revisiting great friends. Jason really was delightful and caring on all aspects of his life but the affection he had for Truly was endearing. She was instantly enamored with his accent but also his charisma and work ethics. I do love an epilogue so I was extremely satisfied with the conclusion. I also appreciated the little snippet of what’s in the next book.

The is one of many books of a Great group of friends and their stories with at least 2 serieses. One of the series, 'Always Satisfied' includes this, book 2, Jason & Truly story, her brother is the singing vet and friends include the bffs turned lover bar-owning couple among others. Many 'years later' follow up details about past couples' current lives, their kids etc.
