Doing it on my own didn’t mean I wanted to be lonely.

Trevor

When I said I wanted to do it on my own, I didn’t think it’d be so hard. Barely managing to get by wouldn’t be so bad except for the gripping loneliness. I like to flirt, and at times it comes across as desperate, but maybe I am. After flirting with my boss’s brother, I didn’t think it would turn into what it did. After all, isn’t Aaron straight?

Aaron

Being thirty-five, the oldest child, and still single is, admittedly, a little embarrassing. When my brother asked me to be the best man at his wedding, I probably shouldn’t have invited the waiter who flirted with him. It’s not as if my family assumes that maybe I’m not so straight after being single for so long, so it shouldn’t be a shock to bring a man, right?

Audiobook - narration by JD Tomlinson was lovely with distinct voices and a very pleasant voice.


Cute and low angst - my kind of book :)

This is an age gap, boss/employee romance between Trevor and Aaron. Poor Aaron is having such a hard time adulting and trying to make ends meet - everything just seems to be going wrong! It doesn't help that his manager at work has a giant chip on his shoulder and just hates on poor Aaron. Luckily, Trevor is the boss and he swoops in to help Aaron and they end up entering into a fake dating scenario, which i always love. There's a lot for them to work out, negotiating work, family, and of course, the fact that Trevor has always identified as straight....until Aaron. They are adorable together and I loved watching them catch feelings.

Cute and low angst story - exactly what I love!!

I love reading books by the amazing Joelle Lynne. The fact that I was lucky enough to not only read but listen to,The Date Mistake was an amazing experience. JD Tomlinson did an amazing job of bringing Trevor and Aaron to life. Trevor and Aaron find themselves at a point in their lives, where pretending to date would benefit them a great deal. Through the story we see how feelings developed between our main characters, how allies become friends, how friends become family. I love how JD manages to mold his voice in a unique voice for each character, it sucks you into the story on a whole new level. This is a must listen audiobook, I love reading MM books, and Joellen knocked it out of the park with this story

I absolutely adored this story. Aaron and Trevor are so cute together.
We get boss/employee, age gap, MM.
The narration was really good. This was the first full audio book I’ve listened to because a lot of them make me cringe (no offense to the narrator). This one was really well done!

This book has some favorites: forbidden love (boss/employee), only one bed, fake dating, age gap and queer awakening. I really enjoyed all of the characters (except for a couple obvious ones), the story was realistic and adorable, and it ends very happily. Narration was so well done, too.

Fun, cute story

The date mistake was a great story of being true to yourself and fighting for what you want. Aaron is the owner of a pretty popular Cafe where Trevor works. Trevor is a flirt and helps bring customers to the cafe. Aaron has had his eye on. Trevor, since he started working there, but the issue is that Aaron is straight. When a proposition is made from Aaron's brother for Trevor to go along to their wedding, Aaron decides that is an idea and it would give them time to get to know each other better. Little do they know that their relationship will grow as they learn more about each other. Aaron begins his journey of self-discovery and Trevor is there to help them along the way. Trevor's good concerns start to rise when he realizes how much different their lives are and worries that he would bring Aaron down. The two men work through their differences and realize that true love is what's important. I absolutely feel adored Erin in this story and the sweet things that he did to make Trevor feel important. And there is absolutely no way that you could not. love, Trevor. The narrator was wonderful and made the story easy to listen to and enjoyable. I highly recommend this audio.

Such a sweet story of struggles and Discovery

Great story
Sweet, sexy, and a swoon worthy love between Trevor and Aaron. I love how Sam gave Aaron just the right amount of push he needed, under the guise of fake dating to ask Trevor to be a date for his brother Sam’s wedding. I love the way Aaron handles his bi-awakening. He just excepts it and doesn’t really freak out all though it’s ok to freak out I just feel that his reaction fit his personality so well. Which made the story feel really smooth.
The narrator JD Tomlinson was really good and made the story come alive.
Joelle Lynne has away with telling a story that sticks with you even after your done listening or reading.

Great narrator
