This was boring

I stuck with it, hoping it would get better but it never did. I fast forwarded through some of the 2nd half, especially the sex scenes!!
Waaaaay too many sex scenes

Sweet & Sexy Love Story

You’re the One is my first book by Layla Hagen and it definitely will not be the last. This is a best friends to lovers story and this author had me hooked right from the beginning with her storytelling. I thoroughly enjoyed Hunter and Josie’s friendship, his immediate trust in that friendship when he went to her for advice with his problem. I loved that Josie is a strong, independent career woman who can take care of herself and does not come across as a damsel in distress; in fact, Josie is the one that is there for Hunter in his time of need. Hunter is swoon worthy especially when he continuously springs surprises on Josie just to make her happy and makes her heart melt. The dialogue in this book flowed seamlessly and I loved seeing their interaction with each other and their friends and family.

I love audiobooks narrated by Joe Arden and this was my first time listening to Maxine Mitchell. I loved their performance and they really brought the characters and this story to life for me. I could feel all the different range of emotions Hunter and Josie experienced along with those of the secondary characters. I smiled and laughed as I devoured this book. These two narrators have helped me discover another author for me to read and I’m really looking forward to the next book in this series.

Good start and then it just fell flat

I was really invested in this story because I love interconnected series and I know how popular this author is. The story started very strong until at about 80% it sort of fizzled. I have no idea why, but the pace of the story hit a bump and I just was taken aback, Of course things worked out at the end but it's hard to stay excited and want to invest in the rest of the series when a book starts out strong and then it didn't reach its full potential. The narration by both Joe Arden & Maxine Mitchell was FANTASTIC!!

Ok

I am normally the type of person who likes most books I read and I’m not saying this wasn’t good, it started off good at least and then by the end it kinda dragged and got boring. I wanted it to hurry up. I’m not a big fan of Maxine Mitchell, every book that I’ve listened to with her in it, I feel like she sounds constantly panicked. I don’t think I’m going to listen to the rest of the series at this point. Maybe I’ll try it down the road.

Sexy Best friends to lovers

I love a good best friends to lovers story and that is what this was. Hunter and Josie have an awesome relationship. They have been best friends for 15 years. Now Hunter neeeds Josie and there is nothing she won’t do for him, even marry him but this marriage of convenience quickly takes a turn. This is a steamy story with some great narrators in Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell’s.

**i did receive a free copy of this audio book in exchange for a fair and honest review **

Amazing Story!

Love love loved Josie and Hunters story! Josie and Hunter have been best friends forever, Hunter is a British citizen living and working in the USA and he has been notified that his Visa was not being renewed. I fell in love with Hunter and Josie before this, their personality shined through their characters their chemistry was off the charts even though neither of them wanted to ruin their friendship by crossing those lines. I loved following their journey as they discover more about each other and their true feelings for each other that go beyond “fake”. Find out if they acknowledge their true feelings before it is too late. You also meet and the rest of the family. I am looking forward to the next book in this series! I loved the narration, well paced and well performed.

Cute, sexy story of friends who marry and then fall in love

This is book 1 of a new series so there are a number of characters that are barely introduced. The heroine, attorney Josie has a number of siblings and hero Hunter, a wealthy real estate magnate and philanthropist has several cousins so there are plenty potentials for future books before any new characters come on the scene with friends and family. The plot concerns British born Hunter’s need to either take a chance of being approved of a green card quickly or marrying his American born best friend. Not even a mention of Dreamer laws but there was an insensitive, abrasive immigration investigator and a really horrible Scrooge of a partner at the law firm Josie worked at. The drama drags some and slows the pace towards the end and the epilogue was a lot of sunshine and rainbows chatter that did nothing for this story or the next but the rest was pretty predictable and pleasant. The narrator are pros who frequently work together so their narration had a rhythm. This is a good candidate for the escape package.

Can't wait for more

Layla Hagen once again starts of a new series with a bang. Another great family that listeners are going to instantly fall in love with. Best friends for 15 years Hunter and Josie have hidden their real feelings for each other and it is not until Hunter's green card comes into play that the chemistry flys of the page. But can a marriage based on convenience get past the immigration board? From the very first chapter to the last page in the book I was captivated with the interactions between Hunter and Josie. Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell brought the characters to life.. With a perfect combination of friends to lovers romance and a story filled with laughter and love this is only the beginning. Cannot wait for more in the series!!

Great book

Another great book by: Layla Hagen. I love her books and can not wait for her next books!!!!!

lovers and friends. 💜

(Hunter & Josie): best friend's since high school Josie and Hunter would do anything for each other. Now very successful adults, that hasn't changed. Hunter is now in some trouble and needs his best friend to play a game of pretend to get him out of it. It's amazing how these two managed to be just friends all this time because apparently they were not blind to the fact that they are both attractive and attracted to each other. Their chemistry is amazing, probably because they have that friendship as well. The author doesn't focus a lot on the reason why they are together which I love, the focus is on building their relationship. The book is funny and heartbreaking and a whirlwind romance. I can't wait to jump into the next book.
