About this listen

Watch out world — I’m ready to date again.

The seven years I invested in my ex left me with nothing but scorch marks from the way he peeled out and left me at the altar. I’m not looking to put my heart into a relationship any time soon. But getting back out there? That sounds like a helluva good idea to get my groove back.

Then I bump into Chris….Clever and funny, with a sexy surfer’s bod and a brilliant nerd brain, he has just the right screwdriver to fix my hard drive. (Yes, the one for my computer.) I wouldn’t mind dating him. The trouble is he just proposed to me—to be the dating guru on his TV show—and now he’s my new business partner.

What happens when you meet the right person at the wrong time?

This audiobook includes the novella Delayed Satisfaction, narrated duet-style by Jason Clarke and Andi Arndt, and debuting first in audio!

Note: Back in the day, I wrote a book called Trophy Husband, and though it’s no longer available for sale, the characters of Chris and McKenna seemed to demand another chance in the spotlight. The Dating Proposal is a complete reimagining of their romance, with 85 percent brand-new material, a fresh plot, and vastly expanded characterizations so you can come to know and love Chris and McKenna like I do. Enjoy!

This couldn't be any better! Perfection!

The Dating Proposal is Lauren's Blakely's newest sweet, fun, sexy, and exciting romance. I feel like I can't say enough about what a fabulous woman and writer Lauren is. Every time I pick up one of her books it becomes my favorite. The hero my new Blakely boy. The leading lady my wishful new best friend. Lauren has an impeccable taste in narrators and she knows how to pick them and guide them to give her what she wants. Andi and Sebastian are the dream team and every book they narrate for Lauren's always sounds new and fresh. If you know me then you know that Chris is my
#1BlakelyHero. Has been from the very beginning of me reading and loving Lauren's books. The duet novella at the end is pure perfection and I don't know how I'm going to wait for Satisfaction Guaranteed. Jason Clarke and Andi Arndt were so fantastic in the little teaser to the beginning of Sloane and Malone.

The story:
McKenna is over her ex and ready to get back out there. She's smart, funny, talented and looking to have some fun. She has a few good prospects and then she meets Chris. Sexy, surfer, smart, geeky Chris. Sigh. He's perfect. They just click and their chemistry is off the charts. Then he makes her an offer she can't refuse. Come on his show and answer dating questions from his viewers. She can't say no. This is the perfect thing for her career. But dating Chris can't happen if they work together. Right? Even if they are magic on-screen and scorching hot off. Well, there's always a way. Chris has been there before and it didn't work out. But can he just say no to dating the greatest woman he's ever met? What happens when they throw caution to the wind and give into their desire for each other? Everything! I can't even express how much I loved this story! I love Chris. His smile. The hair. His intelligence. The surfing. Oh Lord, the man is pure perfection. I want to be McKenna when I grow up. Her style is flawless, her personality awesome. She's a good sister, the greatest friend and the answer to everything Chris has ever wanted. And there's a Kara, so that got me overly excited!! :) Overall, it's one of my favorite stories of Lauren's and I'm still thinking about Chris and McKenna weeks later! Mostly Chris ;).

Another HIT

I am in full on swoon mode...yet again! I often find myself there with Lauren Blakey’s words and can I just say...she gets the most amazing artists to rock those words!! Like seriously, every single story I have listened to has been performed perfectly!!
I am a huge fan and this book certainly does not disappoint...yet again the perfect amount of laugh out loud moments, swoon moments and just plain “awes”

So cute!

Really cute book featuring a fictional streaming platform! The hero approaches a fashion vlogger/blogger to star on his show on pop culture to give dating advice.

It was really cute and the only reason it’s not a five is because the love scenes didn’t really make me feel anything, which as a dirty mind romance reader made it hard to give it a perfect score.

4.5 Stars

You can never go wrong with Lauren Blakely. The characters McKenna and Chris have great chemistry and banter. McKenna after being dumped just before her wedding she decided it had been long enough and then she ran into her ex and his new wife and her mind was made up that she needed to start dating and would blog about her experience on her fashion blog. She accidentally meets Chris and they automatically hit it off. As friends they enjoy each other but it didn't take long for either of them figure out they should casually date each other and of course it turned into much more. This is not a angsty story but is cute, and will make you laugh and smile.

Loved it

I love Lauren Blakely’s books & love these two narrators. This book in particular was funny and entertaining. Enjoyed the way the two main characters were friends first and have the gaming common interest. A must listen to.

A Fun Time!

The Dating Proposal was such a fun time. I found myself laughing out loud. The gaming references touched my 1980’s heart. Loved the story and narration.

The Dating Proposal

Chris and McKenna are wonderful characters. Thank you Lauren Blakely for bringing them to your readers. Narrators; Andi Arndt and Sebastian York really bring them to life. Chris is especially my favorite, he was just so there for her. Please read/listen and let all know how super this is.

Diving back in

Scared to dive back into the dating game takes time, the right person, the right time and the perfect circumstances. Just what Chris and McKenna are experiencing but will fear hold them back from what could be their perfect love? These two have great chemistry on the geek meter, hot and heavy and perfect. The narrators are just amazing in bringing their story to life. This was very fun, lighthearted and entertaining
