Publisher's summary

Note to self - do not bang your best guy friend in the limo on the way to the swanky Vegas hotel.

I give myself very good advice. Too bad I suck at taking it.

If only Colin and I hadn't drunk so much whiskey, if only I'd kept that red bikini in my suitcase, if only his evil ex-girlfriend hadn't come sniffing around making me feel territorial and protective.

Not that my bad boy rock star best friend is any help. Walking around looking ridiculously sexy, telling me I'm perfect in that panty-melting voice of his when we both swore we’d never do anything to put our friendship at risk. And Colin never breaks a promise.

But then, he has no idea I’ve secretly been in love with him for years.

I guess I should just enjoy the ride, but I can’t stop thinking about what happens with this vacation ends and I head home alone, nursing one hell of a bangover....

Will what happens in Vegas stay in Vegas??

Jason Clarke & Lili Valente = Narration on point!!! Not only is Lili an amazing writer but she can narrate/act too! I loved this when I read it but listening to it amped up my enjoyment even more. I totally adore this laugh out loud, sweet sexy story about Colin and Kirby (aka Larry), two best friends that finally take the leap to add benefits. And in Vegas to boot! Colin is a rock star and Kirby is an author and they've both been secretly crushing on each other for years. Will what happens in Vegas really stay in Vegas for these two besties? Lili is one of my go-to RomCom gurus who never ever disappoints; I always know I am going to be thoroughly entertained and satisfied between all the funny, crazy and swoony moments encased in such a fun story. There is so much more happening in this book than I could have imagined between Kirby's angry cat Murder, a creepy coffin, crazy exes (yes plural), sweet moments, sexy times and very humorous banter and shenanigans.
Snatch this one up, you will absolutely love it!!

Narrator...

The male narrator is always great...one of my faves. I couldn’t stand the female narrator’s voice...I know she is the author but oh my god, I wanted to skip every chapter that she read.

Funny, Sexy, Suspenseful

OMG this was my first Lili Valente book and it was beyond any expectations I had. It was a little funny with intense chemistry and lots of action, drama and hotness.

This book was amazing and Jason Clarke and Lil Valente were outstanding and made this story so much better. They were a perfect match and perfect for this story. I mean Jason’s voice is smooth honey and I could listen to him read anything. Lili’s voice was sweet and cute and the perfect Kirby.

This was just magically delicious!! Fantastic!

Fantastic friends to lovers romance!!

I was listening to this while working. Oh my, did I blush a lot. Love scenes and sexual arousal are so much dirtier when they're read out loud. And Lili and Jason were...are fantastic narrators!! So good!

Colin and Kirby have been best friends since he joined her school. Colin was a musical prodigy who became a rock star. A rock god. Awkward teen years blossomed into hot, hot, hot. Kirby (or as Colin has nicknamed her Larry) is an author. She tends to hermit a lot in her writing cave. She is much more comfortable close to home and out of the spotlight. Although, she is a successful writer, so sometimes she is not so out of the spotlight as she may wish. They know each other best. And they find themselves single at the same time for once and a drunken makeout session leads to a flight to Vegas and a much more interesting trip to than either had really intended, beyond using one another to break a dry spell (Kirby) and sustain the other before an intentional dry spell (Colin).

This story is more than two friends scratching each others itch. It has humor, heart, friendship, the most adorable cat named Murder, questionable exes, adoring fans, and two leads who realize there is more to their friendship than either was willing to admit. Lots more. All the feels!

Jason and Lili voiced these two (and the rest of the crazy cast) fantastically. Lili is not only a fantastic author but a great narrator too.

Hello Larry ...

I either missed the reason he calls her Larry or it’s just wasn’t explained but it’s freaking adorable as is most of this story. The reveal of “the bad guy” and following drama got a bit ridiculous and extremely unrealistic. But even as I was shaking my head thinking come on now, really? Some very funny things happened like a poor drenched murderous cat being the ultimate hero and saving his humans and a bunch of red hatted ladies coming to the rescue. Overall a cute sexy funny read that makes you want a dirty talking rockstar best friend with forever benefits all your own. I really liked that it wasn’t overloaded with sex scenes but the sexy times that were there felt pretty organic and super hot. I’m off to buy Shep’s story now.

Bangin Best Friends.

This book was chosen for my amazing bookclub. Which is the best bookclub in the entire universe. Just an FYI. I loved this book. I really really did. Although it did take a lot more turns than I was not expecting. But the dirty talk was top notch, the sexual chemistry was on fire and the sex scenes were definitely Lava level flames melted to the floor. FYI there is one in a sex club with mirrors. Holy Balls call the firemen I need to be hosed in more ways than one. Oh my goodness. Plus Jason Clarke talking dirty...fans self... no words. That man could read me my rights while sending me off to jail for life and I’d still be smiling listening to that voice. sigh! This book also has all the cute fun nicknames, a crazy murderous cat, the catty big tit ex. What else can you ask for ? Wait you need more, how about a rockstar? You are sold I know. Now go listen.

Loved it!

I loved the chemistry and humor of the two main characters and the narrators were great as well. There were only a few parts in the storyline where I felt went down a path in which I wouldn’t have taken it to but that’s just me.
All in all I really enjoyed listening!!

Best Lili Valente book yet!!

I pretty much love all of Lili Valentes books, but this one is something extra special. It had just the right amount of suspense and drama without being played out or over done. And as always Jason Clarke was absolutely phenomenal, that man could read the phone book and keep my attention LOL Lili's narration is always spot-on, I think she brings a little something extra to all of her books that she narrates. Their love story were sweet and simple and held my attention the entire time. I really like the fact that she kicked right into their love story, there wasn't five or six chapters of fluff before we got to the good stuff lol Give us more Lili give us more
