Another fun & sexy rom-com from Lisa Becker. This book is filled with so many lines that had me giggling throughout. This couple takes the hard way to get where they need to be but the ride was worth it. They had great chemistry and pretty steamy sex but they also had a great connection where they just got each other. I also really enjoyed the supporting characters, his friends were so funny and good, you just couldn't help but love them too. All that and a great happy ending too.

The narration was great, Erin Mallon is always perfect, especially narrating alone where we get a lot more of her male voice too, it's like a double win!

Great Characters, fun banter.

Another fun listen by this Lisa Becker. Full of fun characters and witty banter. A very different feel to this one that didn't feel contrived despite the reality show vibe. The characters were interesting, as usual. Just an overall fun listen. And, Erin Mallon, of course, does her masterful thing in this one bringing the story and characters to life.

Pleasantly surprised!

This was the first book I’ve ever listened to by this author. I was pleasantly surprised. This book was a lot different from what I expected from the blurb. Not super predictable. I loved the hero Ryan he’s is an all around good guy with a great heart. The heroine is a straightforward girl with a hard choice. She goes with her heart though. This gives a lot of different perspectives which was a change for me. I’m really intrigued for the next story between the best friends. I will anxiously await that one.

What a great story and narration!!

The Subway girl was posted in a group as a suggested. I was so happy to see it was in audio AND Erin Mallon is the narrator!! She is one of my absolute favorites! The story was funny and wonderful! Erin brought it to life beautifully!

Fun book

This was my first book by this author. This is a fun book about Ryan who saw a girl on the subway and felt like it was fate that he find her. Angie works for a celebrity site and helps Ryan look for the subway girl . This was an enjoyable, low angst book. Erin Mallon does a great job at narrating.

Getting what you didn't ask for

This is such a fun and interesting book. We have Ryan who is not a native New Yorker but he is here and looking for the love of his life. His parents have that kind of relationships where it was written in the stars and Ryan wants that for himself. After some bad previous relationships he is still optimistic he can find his forever love. When he spots her on the Subway he is determined to find her. Along comes Angie, native New Yorker and cynical as they come. She doesn't believe in fated love but she does believe in ratings and when she thinks she can help Ryan find his girl and boost their shows ratings she is all in. Little does Angie know that fate is coming for her and she will have a change of heart in the long run.

Loved this unusual love story where they take the long way around finding each other but in the end Ryan gets his girl and Angie learns maybe there is such a thing as fate.

Erin Mallon was marvelous narrating this book. I loved listening to her narrate this story. Great!

I highly recommend this book. I loved it.

Lots of angst

The performance of the narrator was great. At no point was I lost on who was speaking.

The story is ok. There were parts that were interesting and kept me listening but at one stopping point it took me days to come back and finish the story. I’ve never liked characters that make things worse when ‘saving’ themselves. The female MC kicks the male out of her bed after the first night together and spends the next couple months lamenting on how he doesn’t like her. It does wrap up well and not rushed.

Loved it

I didn't know what to expect because this is the first book for me with this author. I was pleasantly surprised, Erin Mallon was the perfect narrator for this one and carried the male/female characters voices perfectly. The characters had great banter, and I found myself chuckling throughout the story. I will be adding Lisa Becker to my list of authors to read.

Not impressed

I was given this as a audiobook for a honest review. I wasn’t that impressed. I just couldn’t get into it. It didn’t hold my attention or make me wanting more. The story line was good, but the progression in the book was just boring. The only plus is the narrator Erin Mallon! She is just awesome! One of my favorites.

You absolutely must listen to this book!

Wow - just wow!

First of all - another spectacular narration by Erin Mallon! My Fave!

This story is excellent. A must-read! It's a modern-day spin on the old-fashioned "missed connection" that they used to publish in newspapers, where someone would spot another somewhere out there, perhaps on the subway, and there was a column in a newspaper or magazine that would publish a lot of this type of missed connections. If you read the column and recognized one that you thought might be, you could write-in to the publication and they'd connect you to the person who'd written to the column. The modern twist is that the guy who'd seen the gorgeous girl on the subway makes a website to find her, the website is found by a celebrity gossip online magazine, and it grows from there - the modern twist! It turns viral and they meet and see if they can make a relationship work in the public eye, with all of their dates on camera and posted and the tens of thousands of commends posted right along with it. Can an old fashioned missed connection make it in the modern era? Read (listen - Erin makes it better than reading the text!), and find out for yourselves! It is an amazing twist and turn at every new chapter!

Lisa Becker is a new-to-me author and I'm extremely happy to have been recommended this book and the preview of the book at the end (Starfish) is leading me to the next one that I will certainly be picking up quickly. I'm a new fan!
