RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW

Title: Asking For a Friend

Series: Boyfriend Material #1

Author: Lauren Blakely

Release Date: December 16, 2019

I was only trying to help a friend. I swear. I was legit asking for a friend who was finally ready to date again. I knew what she wanted in a man -- smart, funny, ambitious, well-read (no, the sports section doesn't count), and plays a wicked game of badminton. So I did what any good friend would do. Posted it for her. It seemed like a good idea at the time — I’d weed through the candidates, and bring her my top picks. But then he responded. Is it wrong to date the guy I screened for my bestie? Not asking for a friend.

“No. I was just getting the lowdown on office allergies.” He moves closer, leaning against the bar, looking like a tall drink of man. I break out my mental yardstick. Yup, I’m betting he’s over six feet. I’m going with six foot one. Which might even push him to a fifteen on the goes-to-ten babe-o-meter.

“So you’re on drinks detail,” I say, trying to sound all cool and casual, like I’m not busy sizing him up.

Not consumed with checking out his arms.

Not occupied admiring his blue eyes.

Not tied up enjoying his smile.

He points his thumb at his sternum. “New guy. That means I fetch all the drinks and buy them too. And you? What put you on errand duty?”

“I made my friend snort her drink out her nose.”

He looks impressed. “You officially have the best reason for being on drink detail.”

I preen, enjoying his praise. “Why, thank you. I was hoping to win that contest.”

“What was the snort-inducing remark, may I ask?”

Flashing back, I recall the culprit—my “you need V-time” comment to Peyton—but that’s too personal to share. I give him another one. “I referred to her ex-fiancé by his proper name.”

Clark Kent gives me a curious look. “Is his proper name amusing?”

“Of course. It’s Richard Cranium,” I say, and I wait. Will he pass the test?

I think I say it every time: LB characters get better with each and every release, and my list of favorites always changes book to book. That said, my new favorite hero is Linc. I absolutely adore this witty, charming fellow. Not only is he smart, successful, and intriguingly sexy, but he loves books - and that ramps up his desirability factor tenfold in my opinion. He has an irresistible personality.

Amy is fantastic. She has a way with words (her favorite book is a thesaurus, after all) and she loves to keep the mood light. She has such a lovable, bubbly personality. She's quirky, funny, and maybe a little bit awkward at times, but it suits her just fine. She's definitely one of a kind.

From their first encounter to 'The End,' this couple will have you swooning over their witty banter and palpable chemistry. Linc and Amy are so much fun together and their supporting cast is amazing too! You can't help but fall in love with everybody. With plenty of heat and heart thrown into the mix, this is another five-star read in a long line of five-star reads for this author.
