A Guy Walks into My Bar

A passionate, utterly addictive stand-alone MM romance performed with duet narration!

Every bartender should follow one simple rule—don't go home with the customers.

That’s been easy for me to stick to, until the night a cocky, confident, and sinfully charming hockey star walks into my bar. This sexy athlete is too hard to resist, especially when he makes it clear how much he wants the “sarcastic, witty, hot AF” guy behind the bar—also known as me.

Still, I’m not keen on breaking my own rules since I know where that can lead—no place good. But when that man makes his case with one bone-searing kiss on the streets of London, I throw resistance out the window.

What could go wrong with a hot, no-strings-attached fling before he leaves town in five days? Trouble is, soon our nights together lead to days, to long conversations, to getting to know each other, and to something I never expected—falling ridiculously hard for a man who’s getting on a plane to America when I live a world away. My life is here. His is there. And no amount of falling or feeling will change that one big problem.

Love, just pure love

This is a MM romance but it is so much more. It is love, pure love and so well written that the focus for me leaves the fact that it is a MM book but it just becomes a passionate love story between two lovable characters that wasn’t looking for anything more than a hookup but found their HEA.

We have met these characters before in other books and I was so happy Mrs. B gave them their own story and what a story it is. There is instant attraction and the heat from that is off the charts. I was amazed at how hot and emotional it all was. Dean and Fitz are both passionate and both are all man so it’s just fantastic to go on their journey from off the chart flirting to passionate love to a true relationship. The love they have is what every person is looking for whether you prefer a MF, MM or FF relationship. We all want our partner to be passionate and over the top in love with us and that is exactly what Dean and Fitz are, in love and I loved their story.

The book itself is so good and so well written that just reading it is perfect but add to that the talents of Joe Arden and Shane East to narrate Fitz and Dean and it’s the best love story I have listened to I a long time. These two talented narrators are joined by a cast of other talents to make this a full production audiobook and it is one I will listen to again. There is also bonus scenes at the end and outtakes and an interview between Joe and Shane that is just so much fun to listen to how they went about recording this book.

I enjoyed this book so much and thought it was not only hot and passionate but well rounded. We get to see these characters families and friends and get to experience their lives outside of this love and they are both wonderful characters that deserved this story. I loved it and highly recommend it. Even if a MM romance isn’t your typical choice, as it isn’t usually mine, I would recommend you give a go as I am so glad I did. I think I am permanently hooked.

A complete joy to experience!!

This is Queen Lauren Blakely's first dive into MM storytelling and she basically gives us all of what we love from her MF stories but provides heightened sexy times with two amazingly developed male characters. Her particular brand of banter and sass is very much alive and her emotional tone is very present as well. If you enjoy her stories, then this should definitely give this one a listen. The bonus, as all things Lauren Blakely, is her attention to detail with her casting. The full cast is a delight but the performances by Joe Arden & Shane East is the cherry on top of this amazing aural sundae! These actors perform the life out of these words bringing Dean & Fitz to life in the most organic way. Their collaboration seemed effortless and their voices convey all the delight, sexiness and emotion that Lauren puts to paper. Worth the hype, the wait and the credit!!

My Heart! Swoon

I loved this book, I loved the characters the banter the back and forth the steam factor. The fact that it is about taking a chance and leaping for what you want. Even if Dean was leery about starting something with a customer in the beginning he leaped because when you know you know.

Fitz and Dean ohh wee they steam up your ears in this beauty. I loved it so freaking much. I loved that they had common interests and not common interests and they shared themselves with each other. They made it work when it seemed impossible.

Their friends were so supportive and their families. I loved it so hard.

I felt like this is just the beginning for Lauren and I hope she keeps coming up with amazing love stories just like this one.

I am a fan of all the narrators; they truly bought this story to life. Also the interview was fantastic, thank you!

Mav and Sam I loved the short at the end and whoever is the voice of Sam I need MORE please!

Fun and Sweet

Okay this was one of the best stories. I loved the characters and the multi-narration was sublime. Do not hesitate to get this one!

Loved It!

Great story, different from her other books. Loved this book! I definitely recommend reading this book.
