A Very Friendly Valentine's Day

By: Kayley Loring

Narrated by: Connor Crais, Mackenzie Cartwright, Dane Anderson

Eddie: Cancel your dinky-little roomette on the train. I’m booking us two of the big bedroom suites.

Birdie: I’ll cancel it after you’ve booked the other sleeper rooms. And reimburse you.

Eddie: Don’t worry about it. Just cancel your tickets. I got this. Round trip. I’m on the Amtrak website right now.

Birdie: You don’t have to leave NYC when I do! You’ll hardly be able to spend any time with your Instagram girlfriend who you've never met!

Eddie: It’s fine. She’ll be fine with it. Cancel your tickets.

Birdie: You aren’t going to stop texting me until I’ve canceled them, are you?

Eddie: Damn right I’m not. Just do it. You can thank me later....

Eddie: Um. Did you cancel your tickets?

Birdie: Yes, Edward. I canceled them.

Eddie: Okay, because it turns out they only had one family bedroom from LA to Chicago. But the good news is I booked it for us. It’s the biggest room they had. The bad news is I booked it for us. And it’s the only sleeper room they have left now.

Eddie: In related news, there was also only one room left from Chicago to New York.

Eddie: Hands up if you’re excited! *man raising hand emoji*

Birdie: I am so mad at you right now....

Birdie: I’ve compiled a list of ground rules re: shared train bedroom. Check your email; please read carefully; and refer to it again on the ninth of February. Thank you.

Eddie: *nerd face emoji* Received. I have some notes.

This audiobook has dual narration, with portions that are duet-style.

Fun, flirty, fantastic rom-com!

Kayley Loring has once again delivered a rom-com that makes you laugh so hard you'll wake your husband in the middle of the night if you're reading or listening in bed (trust me, I speak from experience). A Very Friendly Valentine's Day is a friends-to-lovers railroad trip for the ages.

Eddie is rambunctious, energetic, well-intentioned but has a bit of trouble with the delivery. Birdie is one of his best friends, and when we is going to embark on a cross-country train trip, Eddie goes with her to keep her company and make sure she stays safe. What they discover on their trip is that their friendship is deeper than they think, and they have true romantic feelings that they would never let themselves explore previously.

Kayley Loring's rom-coms are always feel-good, funny, fresh and utterly hysterical. This is no exception. The audio, narrated primarily by Connor Crais and Mackenzie Cartwright, is fantastic. Connor captures Eddie's exuberance, and Mackenzie captures Birdie's joyfulness perfectly. Featured narrator Dane Anderson is new, but he delivers some of the best lines as the conductor of their cross-country journey.

Just loved

Thank you I truly love Kayleys books..if you need a laugh a big smile she will deliver . and Connor and Mackenzie are truly awesome!!! thank you all spoil much!!!!!

Cute story

I really enjoyed listening to Eddie & Birdie’s story in A Very Friendly Valentine’s Day which was wonderfully narrated by Connor Crais and Mackenzie Cartwright.

Witty and swoon worthy

Whenever I pick up a book by Kayley Loring I know that I am in for an entertaining read that will leave me with a smile on my face and that is exactly what happened with A Very Friendly Valentine. I was invested from the first to the at chapter of Eddie and Birdie’s story.

This is a friends to lovers story that ticked all the boxes for me. When Eddie and Birdie both plan a trip to New York for Valentine’s Day, their cross country train trip becomes complicated. Neither of them counted on the close quarters that they would have to share and the awkward moments that would occur.

I loved the witty banter between Eddie and Birdie, their text messages had me in stitches at times. I fell hard and fast for Eddie there was something about him that was totally swoon worthy. The chemistry between them is scorching and there was so much fun and laughter reading this book that my husband thought I was mad.

Connor Crais, Maxkenzie Cartwright and Dane Anderson did a fabulous job with their narration.

Very friendly, indeed!

Eddie and Birdie are adorable. Having been friends for years, Birdie, his smart, sweet, nerdy buddy isn't phased by Eddie's Hollywood status. An actor in a popular CW show, Eddie is following his dream. When he decides to surprise his girlfriend, an IG model he hasn't met in person yet--just go with it--he and his bestie Birdie decide to take the train (Birdie's afraid of flying), and make a fun trip heading to New York.

In an attempt to splurge, Eddie tells Birdie to cancel her tight cabin on the train, and he'll get them a two-bedroom suite. Birdie cancels, and turns out the only suite available has one bed. So, they make the best of it, but their sudden close proximity is bringing out an attraction they both have been trying to fight. Until they can't. There's plenty of heat between these two, and I loved every minute of it.

This was such a fun friends to lovers story. Just goes to show you that the nerd can get the hot guy! Although still fairly new to her stories, Kayley Loring is becoming a favorite author of mine, and I'm trying to play catch up with some of her other books.

I cannot get enough of the Cannavale mom; she's so awesome! And Piper the cool, nerdy 13 year-old w/an affinity for nice butts. And all the Irish accents. Swoon!

Connor Crais and Mackenzie Cartwright were wonderful. I also really enjoyed Dane Anderson's narration (big laughs).
