My name is Mabel, the girl who “wouldn’t hurt a fly".

Of course I wouldn’t.

I’m an entomologist for goodness’ sake. I work in a nature center. Bugs are my jam.

It’s the humans in my life who are starting to get me down. I’m used to them calling me sweet and innocent. I can even handle them calling me naive. But when they lie and keep secrets from me? That's when my proverbial pincers want to come out.

Trouble is, I'm not the girl who fights back.

Not until a handsome groundskeeper with a dirty mouth and secrets of his own shows up and lights all sorts of fires in me.

In the bug world, the female is always the fiercest. The praying mantis doesn’t worry about being a “good girl". Nope, she follows her instincts no matter how crass or crude they may seem to others.

Turns out I could learn a thing or two from her.

I’m not necessarily looking to tear anyone’s head off, but after decades of being nice, it's high time for me to return to nature and unleash my wild side.

I LOVE to see Erin Mallon narrating a book I want to read, so when I saw flirtasaurus was out I knew I had to listen to it. I thought it was cute and liked it a lot.
THEN Lovebug came out and blew me away. I didn’t realize that I needed this book! It was everything I love about romance novels and avoided everything I usually dislike in them.
Can’t wait for the next in the series.
I think Erin Mallon will quickly become a “buy anything and everything” author for me.

Such a great addition to this series.

I loved Mabel and Wally’s story, it had me laughing from beginning to end. Erin is an amazing writer, this book was a lot of fun and had a twist you won’t expect. This book was also narrated by Erin and her delivery of Mabel and Wally was amazing. I absolutely recommend this book and will be in my repeat listen pile. Also I would suggest not eating or drinking while reading or listening.

LoveBug manages to do the impossible....surpass the Flirtasaurus which is a pretty tall order. This is one of the best rom-coms that I have ever listened to. Funny, sweet, with a smidge of steam make LoveBug a true gem. Now, I must wait for the third book, which is killing me!!!!

A Buger-ific Time

Erin Mallon has a fantastic sense of humor and a true gift for writing comedy and dialogue. The back and forth with the friends is hysterical. Erin is a brilliant narrator and the fact that she is speaking the words she wrote took it to the next level. This is a funny, sweet, and unique romance but not particularly steamy if that is what you are looking for. Overall an enjoyable listen.

However many synonyms there are for laughter, that's what I did while listening. There's magic in a narrator performing her own novel, I think. Keep them coming EM. Please!

I really enjoyed this book and can't wait for the next one.
felt like I was watching a movie in my head as I read and listened to this one.
so I got the book and had to get the audio too. I always enjoy Erin Mallon narrations so I knew she would bring to life this book.
I highly recommend this book and if you haven't read the first you should.

wow! Loved Lovebug!

Loved it!

It has taken me a few days to get my thoughts together after getting this wonderful book early.
Erin’s voice shines through in her writing, I loved it. Just as much as I loved the first book.
Mabel and Wally are fun and funny. I had a preconceived notion of who I thought Mabel was from book 1 but I was so wrong she is so much more.
I like that she knows herself even when she isn’t always confident in her choices she figures it out. Her love of all things bugs is pretty freaking great. I truly believe she grows the most in this book because she learns that she is a pretty cool lady and people will accept her for herself if given the chance.
Wally is AWESOME! I like that he just liked Mabel for who she is. Wally is probably my favorite character Erin has written so far.
Again the narration is phenomenal as always.

This book is a fantastic follow-up to Flirtasaurus, we get to enjoy some of the characters that we met in that book and we see much more of Mabel and her positive outlook on life in general. I would love to have someone like Mabel in my life, she is a fun breath of fresh air who is finding her way her life and love.

Outstanding!!!

Erin’s writing style brilliantly brings complex layers to her stories, so you know you will experience thought-provoking humor, romance, friendship, and sometimes even a punch in the face from reality. Mabel was introduced as a secondary character in Flirtasaurus, so I have been anxiously awaiting her story. I thoroughly enjoyed her delightfully adorable personality throughout this journey to find her fierce self while teaching others about the amazing habits of bugs. Having been sheltered by the people in her life (some with good intentions and others not so much), she is seemingly unaware of the ugliness in the world, choosing to always look for the positive and finding the good in people. Mabel undergoes a cathartically satisfying transformation and blossoms beautifully through the course of Lovebug. Wally is the perfect wakeup call (with the perfect hilarious last name) to be placed in her path at the perfect time. He is a strong man who empowers Mabel to be her own person while learning some hard truths and coming out of her shell. I enjoyed every moment of their budding relationship!

I had so many grinning, laughing moments throughout this book and consider it a bonus that I learned some pretty cool bug facts while being thoroughly entertained! If I wasn’t already sold on Erin’s Authorating, she hooked me solidly with the rant about “irregardless” and the ridiculously awkward sex talk in this gem. All of the characters bring something extra to the story. Holden is so interesting and adorable! I’m looking forward to more about Louise in the next book.

I was very excited to receive an #AdvancedListenerCopy of this audiobook in exchange for my honest review.

Erin delivers brilliance!
