About this listen

Eddie: Cancel your dinky-little roomette on the train. I’m booking us two of the big bedroom suites.

Birdie: I’ll cancel it after you’ve booked the other sleeper rooms. And reimburse you.

Eddie: Don’t worry about it. Just cancel your tickets. I got this. Round trip. I’m on the Amtrak website right now.

Birdie: You don’t have to leave NYC when I do! You’ll hardly be able to spend any time with your Instagram girlfriend who you've never met!

Eddie: It’s fine. She’ll be fine with it. Cancel your tickets.

Birdie: You aren’t going to stop texting me until I’ve canceled them, are you?

Eddie: Damn right I’m not. Just do it. You can thank me later....

Eddie: Um. Did you cancel your tickets?

Birdie: Yes, Edward. I canceled them.

Eddie: Okay, because it turns out they only had one family bedroom from LA to Chicago. But the good news is I booked it for us. It’s the biggest room they had. The bad news is I booked it for us. And it’s the only sleeper room they have left now.

Eddie: In related news, there was also only one room left from Chicago to New York.

Eddie: Hands up if you’re excited! *man raising hand emoji*

Birdie: I am so mad at you right now....

Birdie: I’ve compiled a list of ground rules re: shared train bedroom. Check your email; please read carefully; and refer to it again on the ninth of February. Thank you.

Eddie: *nerd face emoji* Received. I have some notes.

This audiobook has dual narration, with portions that are duet-style.

Fun, flirty, fantastic rom-com!

Kayley Loring has once again delivered a rom-com that makes you laugh so hard you'll wake your husband in the middle of the night if you're reading or listening in bed (trust me, I speak from experience). A Very Friendly Valentine's Day is a friends-to-lovers railroad trip for the ages.

Eddie is rambunctious, energetic, well-intentioned but has a bit of trouble with the delivery. Birdie is one of his best friends, and when we is going to embark on a cross-country train trip, Eddie goes with her to keep her company and make sure she stays safe. What they discover on their trip is that their friendship is deeper than they think, and they have true romantic feelings that they would never let themselves explore previously.

Kayley Loring's rom-coms are always feel-good, funny, fresh and utterly hysterical. This is no exception. The audio, narrated primarily by Connor Crais and Mackenzie Cartwright, is fantastic. Connor captures Eddie's exuberance, and Mackenzie captures Birdie's joyfulness perfectly. Featured narrator Dane Anderson is new, but he delivers some of the best lines as the conductor of their cross-country journey.

Very friendly, indeed!

Eddie and Birdie are adorable. Having been friends for years, Birdie, his smart, sweet, nerdy buddy isn't phased by Eddie's Hollywood status. An actor in a popular CW show, Eddie is following his dream. When he decides to surprise his girlfriend, an IG model he hasn't met in person yet--just go with it--he and his bestie Birdie decide to take the train (Birdie's afraid of flying), and make a fun trip heading to New York.

In an attempt to splurge, Eddie tells Birdie to cancel her tight cabin on the train, and he'll get them a two-bedroom suite. Birdie cancels, and turns out the only suite available has one bed. So, they make the best of it, but their sudden close proximity is bringing out an attraction they both have been trying to fight. Until they can't. There's plenty of heat between these two, and I loved every minute of it.

This was such a fun friends to lovers story. Just goes to show you that the nerd can get the hot guy! Although still fairly new to her stories, Kayley Loring is becoming a favorite author of mine, and I'm trying to play catch up with some of her other books.

I cannot get enough of the Cannavale mom; she's so awesome! And Piper the cool, nerdy 13 year-old w/an affinity for nice butts. And all the Irish accents. Swoon!

Connor Crais and Mackenzie Cartwright were wonderful. I also really enjoyed Dane Anderson's narration (big laughs).

Eddie & Birdie

A fun Friends to lovers trope. Love Eddie and Birdies story of friendship of 6 years that was love at first sight never spoken and Eddie's realization and determination to turn their friendship into something more on a train ride from LA to NY, and once he was committed to making her his, he ended a superficial entanglement that he really hadn't been all in for. Great narration.

Could not have been any better

I can't rave enough about this holiday series that Kayley Loring has written. This had me laughing so much, with a goofy grin on my face the entire time I listened. Both Connor Crais and Mackenzie Cartwright have done a fantastic job narrating all three of these books. Cartwright has become a new favorite of mine. Her male sexy voice is HOOOOOT. And she so perfectly embodies the tween voice of the young Piper that it brings me joy. A must listen and this definitely goes on my top listens of 2022.

Witty and swoon worthy

Whenever I pick up a book by Kayley Loring I know that I am in for an entertaining read that will leave me with a smile on my face and that is exactly what happened with A Very Friendly Valentine. I was invested from the first to the at chapter of Eddie and Birdie’s story.

This is a friends to lovers story that ticked all the boxes for me. When Eddie and Birdie both plan a trip to New York for Valentine’s Day, their cross country train trip becomes complicated. Neither of them counted on the close quarters that they would have to share and the awkward moments that would occur.

I loved the witty banter between Eddie and Birdie, their text messages had me in stitches at times. I fell hard and fast for Eddie there was something about him that was totally swoon worthy. The chemistry between them is scorching and there was so much fun and laughter reading this book that my husband thought I was mad.

Connor Crais, Maxkenzie Cartwright and Dane Anderson did a fabulous job with their narration.

I have a smile on my face!!

Wow!!

Every single time I listen to an audio book of Kayley Loring my heart is full and I’m smiling ear to ear and can we talk about Mr. Connor Crais voice..... swoon!
Specially those Shakespeare monologues, seriously this man has a voice like no other and Mackenzie Cartwright complemented him so good, they both did this characters justice.
The banter was flirty, hilarious and the love that Eddie and Birdy felt for each other shined through.
Loved the story and the characters.
This was such an amazing audio just in time for the Valentine’s festivities.

Highly recommend it!!

Very Friendly Indeed

I loved this! I really enjoyed A Very Bossy Christmas by this author so I couldn't wait to get my hands on this story. The Cannavale Family is so funny. Eddie and Birdie together are so cute. Plenty of humor and steamy scenes as well. The narrators are great and really bring the story to life. Highly recommend!

One of my favourite books of the year!

Oh my goodness, I absolutely LOVED this story. Birdie and Eddie, sigghhh. They’re so cute. A Very Friendly Valentine’s Day was a PERFECT follow-up to A Very Bossy Christmas.

We first meet Eddie and Birdie as they’re texting each other. I love how Kayley Loring has text conversations in her book. It makes it feel more real. Birdie is terrified of flying but she wants to see New York City so she decides to take the train across the country. Eddie doesn’t want her to be alone so he books a family room to go with her. Insisting on the whole time that they’re friends, the time on the train brings out their true feelings.

I laughed out loud during so many parts of this book. I read a couple out loud to my friend who’s going to read both books now. Eddie is a perfect book boyfriend. And I loved Birdie so much, my fellow book nerd in glasses.

Connor and Mackenzie were absolutely wonderful. And Connor quoting Romeo and Juliet? Swwwooooonnnnnnn
