About Nobody Does It Better:

Some women are just forbidden. Like - off the top of my head - my sister's lifelong best friend. Sis has made it patently clear that Vanessa is hands-off, as in keep my ladies' man paws far away from her clever, go-getter best friend who's ready for the real deal.

That should be an easy guideline to follow, except Vanessa is deliciously flirty and easy to talk to and laughs at my jokes. Translation - my libido has been craving her many, many years. So many that we might have stolen a kiss or two. Can you say pent-up, crazy, raw desire? That's exactly what we're both feeling when the storm of the century hits and it's 10 inches of snow with Vanessa and me trapped in a cabin all night long....

Note: The audiobook also includes the short story "A Little Big Rock ".

Lauren does it better!

Each book I listen to by Lauren Blakely just keeps getting better and better. I don't know if it is the characters that I am falling for each time I listen, or the amazing narration I get to listen to. This collection of novellas was just one fun, sexy listen after another and I couldn't get enough! It starts with Nobody Does It Better with Erin Mallon and Joe Arden. We get Vanessa and Shaw's story along with cameos of from the book club ladies. I was laughing out loud with each of their text sessions! Next, we have Once Upon a Red Hot Kiss with Macy and Kirby's story. These are from the Heartbreaker's series and with narration by Jason Clarke and Erin Mallon, this couple is sizzling! Following next is Too Good to be True, and I loved RC Bray and Andi Arndt as they brought Avery and Flynn to life. This was my favorite of the novellas if I had to pick. Fun, flirty and sexy, these two were incredible. Carly Robins and Jason Clarke round out the 4 new novellas with Caught up in Her as we get to hear Cat and Brian with best friend's sister romance. Hot, sweet and full of passion, this story is so much fun. It doesn't end there though, Blakely gives us Little Big Rock at the end as a little of Charlotte's point of view with this prequel to Big Rock. I loved each and every one of these stories, all low angst, passionate and sexy. They are the best kinds of listens that leave you with that warm and happy feeling, and just want more!

Amazing audiobook with so many extra surprises!!

I was so excited to get Shaw and Vanessa's story. These two were placed in the friends only zone by Perri, Shaw's sister, because Vanessa is her best friend. That didn't keep these two from secretly lusting over each other for all these years. Get ready to see what over 20 years in the making brings when these two get snowed into Vanessa's family's cabin. The heat will melt the snow. Nobody Does It Better was fast, fun, and sexy!! 5 fabulously forbidden stars!

I loved all the extra surprises included in this audiobook!!

Reading is a conversation.

All books talk. But a good book listens as well. ~Mark Haddon~
The series of novella's were amazing! It had the right amount of sweet vs. sexy and all of the fluffy, cozy, wholesome goodness that a reader could ask for! All of the narrators were fabulous!! The talent and love for their work really shows through and you can truly see why each one of these narrators have fan groups and Facebook pages dedicated to them. They are just fantastic and treat their profession like a work of art!
I have a new found love for Lauren Blakely!! I haven't read MF romances in a long time and now I feel like I've been missing out. Most of the time I just skip them because the characters (especially females) aren't relatable. But Lauren has opened my eyes with her writing style, I really loved the characters. All of the novellas presented in this series made me want to dive into the full length books. This was really refreshing and fun!

I loved every minute of it!!

If I thought that Lauren Blakely was getting comfortable with her formula, let me just say, she just knows her audience and her writing just keeps getting better and better. Not to forget that this woman has her audiobook game in another stratosphere, but she really goes above and beyond to deliver stories and audio experiences that makes the listener just follow her down the rabbit hole with her. Her casting choices are always beyond reproach and spot on!! Erin Mallon and Joe Arden have such a great range of lighthearted, emotional and reality to their performances and when they are paired up, it's always a treat that fills me with joy and my ears with glee. This story is beyond friends to lovers, I think it had so much going for it because of the background stories where these characters come from that one can't help but be invested and root for them. I can never get enough Lauren Blakely audios a pray to the audio gods she keeps delivering these solid stories with all of the surprises that make us devour he work and follow her no matter what.

Nobody Does It Better Than Lauren Blakely

This is a fantastic compilation of Novellas!

The first and main event is “Nobody Does it Better” This is the third story in the series that follows “Best Laid Plans” and “The Feel Good Factor” Each CAN be a stand-alone read. The series follows three best girl-friends, Arden, Perry and Vanessa and their love stories. I would recommend reading them all because they are wonderful, but it is not required, you can jump in anywhere really. (But you’d miss out on so much great writing and narrating!)

Shaw and Vanessa have been dancing around their attraction for years. Since Shaw is Vanessa’s best friend Perry’s brother, it never seemed possible. Until one night in a cabin, and a snow storm. Erin Mallon and Joe Arden deliver deliciousness straight into your ears. You get all kinds of “Joe Voice” ridiculously jealous, light hearted and witty to outright sexy. Erin Mallon, is as always, perfection, you can’t help but fall in love with her voice. . With bonus voices sprinkled throughout, Carly Robbins, Savannah Peachwood & Virginia Rose - this is such a treat. The writing and narration come together to brighten your day. it is the perfect ending to these three stories of these girlfriends

Too Good To Be True. Narrated by Andi Arndt & Joe Arden
This is Olivia and Herb’s story from Come As You Are. It has been re-imagined with Joe Arden narrating Herb. If you’ve listened before you need to re-listen. I loved the story line on this one, paired by a match maker, these two go on a first date at an escape room. Again, the banter and wit are superior, and the hot parts – are hot. It’s your shot to go on a date with Andi & Joe, it’s too fun to say no. Go Ahead put Joe Arden in your ears, they will thank you.

Once Upon a Red Hot Kiss: Narrated by Jason Clarke & Erin Mallon.
A novella from the Heartbreakers Series, Macy & Kirby flirt around Valentine’s day. Well…. Macy Loves V-Day Kirby is all against it, typically cynical. Jason Clarke’s voice is divinely sexy, you’ll melt for him. When the spark ignites between these two, you’re rooting for them to find their happy ending.

Finally you get “A Little Big Rock” The prequel Novella to Bigger Rock. Oh My! This lends some insight into Spencer and Charlotte's romantic beginnings and what a Cad Bradley is. You get Sebastian York, Joe Arden, Erin Mallon and Andi Arndt on this novella. Just those names alone made me want to listen! As the Big Rock series was narrated by York (solo) it was fun to listen to a multi cast give voices to these characters.


Worth a credit? YES!!!

Everybody does it

Well I will say that I was disappointed that the story of Shaw and Vanessa wasn’t the big,bang that I was hoping for,that being said.. I still enjoyed their fast paced (but not”really”)fast paced romance and the incorporation of the other short novellas I got to listen to that peeked my interest in other stories.I think though that the”novellas”should be included with the final story in the series just to keep things in perspective and not to confuse the listeners with other characters from other stories.Yes these stories can be stand alone,but if you love them as much as I do,you want to see all the characters happily ever afters.Great job to all the narrators involved in keeping these stories entertaining.

It was the perfect way to end the series!

This was a short novella. It was sweet, funny and sexy. The 2 main characters Shaw and Vanessa were familiar as we had met them in previous books. Their chemistry was off the charts. The story was light not angsty at all. As for the narration it was awesome. The full cast gave the characters in the stories body and made them more believable.

A delightful collection of novellas with sweetness and heat!

Nobody Does It Better is the first in this boxed set of novellas from Lauren Blakely. Vanessa has had a crush on Shaw, her best friend, Perri’s brother, since they were in middle school. Even now, as they approach their 30s, the mutual attraction shows no sign of fading. They have had a couple of stolen moments over the years but both feel like it would be a betrayal of Perri for them to pursue a relationship.

The idea of an “off limits” love interest is not new but Lauren Blakely knows comedy and both Joe Arden and Erin Mallon deliver the snappy dialogue with impeccable timing so the story never seems stale.

Shaw has a reputation as a ladies man and jokester but there is so much more to his character. There is a scene late in the novella where Joe Arden does such a beautiful job showing Shaw’s vulnerabilities during a conversation he has with his sister as he explains how he has relied on humor as a means of stress relief to help him cope with the stress of his job as a firefighter.
As much as I enjoyed the humor in the story, there is no shortage of heat. And knowing how long Vanessa and Shaw have been pining for each other helps you to really feel the emotional connection between them.

The next novella featured in this box set is Too Good to Be True (a Come As You Are prequel) which tells the story of how Olivia and Herb fell in love with Joe Arden and Andi Arndt narrating. This was a really sweet story. They meet through a matchmaker and it seems perfect from the start until Olivia’s insecurities cause complications. The narrators both do a terrific job and you definitely root for them to get to their happily ever after.

Once Upon A Red Hot Kiss is Macy and Kirby’s story -- they are featured characters in the Hearbreakers Series. Macy (Erin Mallon) helps Kirby (Jason Clarke) conquer his hatred of Valentine’s Day and his fear of making the jump from friendship to love. Jason Clarke really delivers on this one. He is the perfect Kirby!

This box set concludes with A Little Big Rock. If you loved Big Rock, it will be a treat for you to hear more of Charlotte and Spencer’s history. This short story features Sebastian York, Andi Arndt, Joe Arden and Erin Mallon.

All in all, the Nobody Does It Better boxed set is a treat to your ears. Each story gives you just what you expect from Lauren Blakely. Loveable characters, whip smart dialogue, laugh out loud humor, and swoon-worthy romance. The stellar cast of narrators take her stories to new levels and I was just happy to be along for the ride.
