This playful and passionate contemporary romance pairs a virgin book editor slash virgin-dating-in-the-city covert columnist with a cult following and the super-hot bicycle/flower shop owner-who are both secretly crushing on each other-in a bit of a forbidden romance. I listened to the audio version of The Virgin Next Door, narrated in duet by Teddy Hamilton and Vanessa Edwin, and it was a perfect pairing that was wonderfully produced and expertly performed. Lauren’s contemporaries and romcoms are amongst my favorite stories to read, and I’ve been really excited about The Dating Game series. This sexy, sweet and swoony virgin romance was told within a workplace storyline with a bit of a secret identity/next-door-neighbor spin that oozed with charm, wit and heat. Lauren Blakely always seem to give me exactly what I need to read, and The Virgin Next Door was precisely the distraction I needed this week. Note: Be prepared to swoon and fan yourself from the heat! This full-length standalone contains lots of hot baby-making s-e-x, happy tears, naughty jokes and a hot, swoonworthy hero you will fall madly in love with.5 STARS! Flirty, fiery feel-good secret identity/workplace romance!

There’s no way I’ll want more from one woman than any position, any where, any night? Except. So when Nicole says she’s game to work through my list in a hands-on way, I take her up on her deal even with her one BIG condition. After all, my job is like a coach and my latest assignment for the good of mankind is to create a fail-safe, battle-tested, proven guide of what to do or say to get a woman to fall into your bed - I mean, fall for you. When my hot-as-sin co-worker makes me a no-strings-attached offer that involves her place, my place, any place - as well as any position - I can’t refuse. There are four words every guy wants to hear on the first date - “your place or mine?” I won’t fall for him, he won’t fall for me, and there’s no way baby will make three. That makes him the perfect candidate to make a deposit in the bank of me. Ryder is gorgeous, witty and charming - and he’s also a notorious commitment-phobe.

It’s a bun in the oven, and I’m not afraid to hit up my sex-on-a-stick co-worker to do the job. I know what I want most, and it’s not true love. This single gal has had enough of the games, the BS and the endless chase. There are three little words most guys don’t want to hear on the first date.
