An utterly addictive, roomies-to-lovers MM romance from #1 New York Times Bestselling author Lauren Blakely writing as L. Blakely! Narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Shane East in duet with a full cast! Look, when I met the sexy, witty Brit on the streets of London last night, I had no idea who he was. He was just that hot guy I wanted to have a drink with so I asked him out for my first evening in town. One thing almost led to another. After a midnight kiss, we made plans for a whole lot more the next day. But when I unlock the door to my rental in the morning, the English hottie is lounging on the couch like he lives here too. Great. For the next year Ill be sharing a tiny flat with the sexiest guy Ive ever known. Time for a few simple rules -- dont walk around the flat wearing only a towel, dont spend our nights together exploring London, and dont crack open my secrets for him. Even as I smash all those rules, I try to resist falling for the cocky charmer. But after a taste of his lips, I give all the way in, telling myself one night and we wont fall in love. Too bad in the morning I discover that hiding my true feelings is the least of my worries, compared to a twist I never see coming. This is book one of TJ and Judes romance. Tropes include: roomies to lovers, London romance, opposites attract, friends to lovers. Performed with a full supporting cast including: Vanessa Edwin, JF Harding, James Joseph, Faye Adele, Evan Parker, Shakira Shute, Robbie Martino, Blake Lockheart, Stephanie Németh-Parker and Stella Hunter.©2020 Top Notch Boyfriend Books (P)2026 Top Notch Boyfriend Books Contemporary Romance

Oh my… this was such a comfort read/listen. Soft, romantic, funny, and quietly emotional in that way that sneaks up on you.
TJ and Jude are both incredibly lovable and relatable MMCs. Their flirtatious banter—especially in the prequel Shameless Flirt—is heartwarming, playful, and downright adorable. I love romance stories that take place across different countries, and their meet-cute is pure sweetness. Very much love-at-first-sight vibes… even if they try to deny it.

Once they realize they’re roommates, they attempt (very unsuccessfully) to fight their feelings—but the pull between them is just too strong. The connection? Immediate. The chemistry? Undeniable. I adored their book talks, their conversations, and how they just keep falling deeper without meaning to.

Of course, life gets messy. Obstacles pile up, timing turns cruel, and fate decides to be dramatic. Their chemistry and spice are hot and swoony, but what really got me was how good-hearted both men are—smart, sexy, emotionally open, and genuinely kind.

That said… TJ is my man.
Witty sarcasm, intellectual takes, a secretly hopeless romantic heart—he’s a total breath of fresh air. Golden retriever energy wrapped in a lumbersnack exterior? Yes please.

🎧 And the audiobook? Top Notch. The duet narration with Teddy Hamilton (my forever favorite), Shane East, and a full cast made this feel like a movie playing in my head. Absolute top-tier listening experience.

Since this is book one of a duet, yes—it ends on a cliffhanger. And no, I did not see that coming. More thoughts coming soon in my review for book two, Here Comes My Man.

She did it again. What a great read. I just did not notice, that it is a story of two books. #2 is already ordered, but will only come available in like 3 weeks. Still on a high, I will need support group to manage the withdrawal for the next week's. So be careful, you will surely get hooked.

The Performance really saved the story for me, sadly I‘m not digging the plot and the characters at all so.. It‘s a no for me even though the audio performance is perfect like expected. I‘m still recommending it to everyone curious, I think this is just a me problem and not a problem of the book in itself

Performance: yes! but Story: no….
