Hot Mess

Love Is Messy, Book 1

By: Emily Goodwin

Narrated by: Eric MacArthur, Marie Hawkins

My life is a hot mess.

Single, working, and raising two daughters, it's a miracle I get us up, dressed, and fed every morning. Forget about dating-nobody's got time for that. Even if love hadn't left me jaded, I'm not settling for anything less than perfect this time around.

Lucky for me, the perfect man just happens to work in my office. But there's just one small problem: he's my boss, and is totally off limits. But hey, if it's meant to be, it'll find a way, right?

Then a night out with friends turns into a night in with the walking-talking bad boy cliché of a bartender. It's just one night. No harm, no foul, right?

Except when the hot bartender turns out to be my boss's trouble-making brother, who wants more than just one night with me. The more I resist the spark between us, the more I find myself wanting him too. Which puts me in the middle of what could be the biggest sibling rivalry of the century.

Life is messy. And love?

Well, love is even messier.

Great Story

This was a great read or listen. My main complaint is I don’t like cliff hangers. Now I need to search out for the follow-up. Ugh.

Book 1 of 2

Wish I knew this was a cliffhanger, a cliffhanger without an audiobook for the second book. Book 1 is very engaging. Building up the mysteries behind why the brothers dont like eachother or why Luke left Chicago. Well written with some girlfriend humor between the friends. The truth behind single parenthood while trying to co-parent with an ex. Onto book 2 to complete the series and then to see if Cole, the brother, has a book

Romantic Mystery

Male character is hot and mysterious, what else do you need? Female character is relatable. Acting is excellent.

New ideas and great story

I enjoyed both main characters! New ideas and good voices. It is not a Stan alone which indent realize but even so I’m sooo glad I listened and now will read the next book in series

Good read if you just need to check out for awhile

Lexi is annoying. We get it, you’re tired and a single Mom. We didn’t need to be told over and over. Lexi is also super immature. Maybe ask some questions instead of being so gullible you believe everything from someone else instead of the dude you’re sleeping with. Luke is great I liked his character and he seems genuine Spice level was decent and was written well. A few plot holes, so just reading for the vibes is best. Cliffhanger. Not sure if I will read the next one in the series due to how obnoxious I find Lexi’s character. Voice actors were great!
