With attending college and creating a career, a relationship is a far away thing.I loved liam's family. I really felt for them as they were such a sweet bunch.Also Charlie's friends are really great and I especially can't wait to read Layla Dash's book as those two redefine the frenemies term.💗

Exciting and exhilarating!!! Sweet and spicy just the way we like it. The story was so good I was hoping the book wouldn’t end!!!!

Friend ZoneFriend Zone Series, Book 1By: Nicole BlanchardNarrated by: Allie Martina, Gideon FrostI enjoyed this wonderful ‘friends to lovers’ romance novel, the story swept me in right from the start, grabbing my attention and captivating it the entire time. The characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with, they are easy to care about and like too. Liam and Charlie became each other’s best friend when they were young and their friendship has lasted thru the years. Liam has watched Charlie date different men and as soon as it becomes too serious or the guy wants to take the relationship to the next level, she ends the relationship. And that is what she planned on doing with her latest boyfriend, Andrew, except it doesn’t go exactly like that. Charlie always does her breakups in the bar where Liam works, so if she needs rescue or support, he is there for her. Liam is used to her doing this, but it is different this time, hearing another guy is going to propose to her stirs up feeling in him and even more so when he sees how upset she is. So he takes the rest of his shift off and plans to take her back home to his family’s home. Charlie realizes her feelings for Liam had morphed into something else too, but both have plans, he is going to vet school and she has plans of her own that will take her out of the country for months. I loved the layers to the story and how it all played out, the writing and plotting are fantastic and so is the world building and character growth and development. There is never a dull moment in this book and it has the perfect balance of drama, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. Nicole Blanchard, thank you for another fabulous story and emotional rollercoaster ride.🎧📚🎧And for the fantastic narration, Nicole Blanchard chose the perfect cast to bring her characters and story to life. Allie Martina and Gideon Frost are wonderfully talented narrators and versatile voice artists. They did an amazing job portraying these characters, giving each a voice that fit that character’s persona and was believable in every role they played. Allie Martina nailed it as Charlie, grasping all sides of her personality, and Gideon Frost did the same for Liam. Both were fabulous performing the roles of all the secondary characters, too. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the character’s emotions and had you feeling every single one. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to and their narration enhances an already fabulous story to another level. Thank you for another wonderful listen.

Complicated lives these characters have - struggling to keep their noses pressed to the wheel to keep their families, jobs & yet still pass their grades & find their way in life

There were a few times where I considered not finishing the book because I felt like the book was missing something. However, after a quarter of the way through, I became engrossed and didn’t want to put it down. It was a good story about the decisions we are faced with and a reminder that life is short and to take risks.

Sometimes it takes the risk of losing someone to make you realize how much they mean.... At least that's what made Liam jump into action, and maybe with him seeing her in a new light he'll be up for a deeper relationship.She never gave it a second thought about crossing the line with her best friend, and she certainly didn't do much committment but maybe.....This was a quick read of best friends becoming lovers and taking the leap.It was a bit fast paced with it's timing but still enjoyable. Great chemistry, some cute banter and heart too. Always love this trope.
