Blurb:
I was only trying to help a friend. I swear. I was legit
asking for a friend who was finally ready to date again.
I knew what she wanted in a man -- smart, funny,
ambitious, well-read (no, the sports section doesn't count), and plays a wicked
game of badminton.
So I did what any good friend would do. Posted it for her.
It seemed like a good idea at the time — I’d weed through the candidates, and
bring her my top picks.
But then he responded.
Is it wrong to date the guy I screened for my bestie? Not
asking for a friend.
My review: 5 stars!
Lauren Blakley is simply a magician- she can take all the tropes and make them fresh and engaging every single time! I adored watching Linc and Amy's friendship and relationship develop. There were so many real life book references dropped here and there in the book- so cool! Asking for a Friend is low-angst, super funny and fan-your-face hot. What a delight! I alternated between reading and listening to the audiobook, the latter of which was fantastic as all multi-cast Lauren Blakely audiobooks are. She absolutely sets the standard.
Excerpt:
“No. I was just getting the lowdown on office allergies.”
He moves closer, leaning against the bar, looking like a tall drink of man. I
break out my mental yardstick. Yup, I’m betting he’s over six feet. I’m going
with six foot one. Which might even push him to a fifteen on the goes-to-ten
babe-o-meter.
“So you’re on drinks detail,” I say, trying to sound all
cool and casual, like I’m not busy sizing him up.
Not consumed with checking out his arms.
Not occupied admiring his blue eyes.
Not tied up enjoying his smile.
He points his thumb at his sternum. “New guy. That means I
fetch all the drinks and buy them too. And you? What put you on errand duty?”
“I made my friend snort her drink out her nose.”
He looks impressed. “You officially have the best reason
for being on drink detail.”
I preen, enjoying his praise. “Why, thank you. I was
hoping to win that contest.”
“What was the snort-inducing remark, may I ask?”
Flashing back, I recall the culprit—my “you need V-time”
comment to Peyton—but that’s too personal to share. I give him another one. “I
referred to her ex-fiancé by his proper name.”
Clark Kent gives me a curious look. “Is his proper name
amusing?”
“Of course. It’s Richard Cranium,” I say, and I wait. Will
he pass the test?
