[Berls]

I'm really devouring this series! I think because it's full of a favorite trope : friends to lovers. This one is no exception and it's done so well, as they try being friends with benefits. I love the cook book entries too - it gives us little glimpses into her pov.

I got the Full Package

Sometimes the story is fantastic and the narration doesn't suit or equal it. Other times the narration is amazing but nothing will help the storyline. Then, once every so often you get the Full Package. Sebastian York IS Chase Summers. I was convinced that I was privy to Chase/Sebastian's innermost thoughts and feelings. I got to watch Chase/Sebastian fall in love. I saw his inner conflict. I felt his heartbreak. I witnessed his epiphany.

Full Package was a cute and funny story about a couple of friends who decide to push their friendship to the next level. Both of them are hesitant because their friendship is important but neither can deny their attraction.

Maybe, they can have the Full Package after all.

I think this is by far my favourite narration by Sebastian York. I have enjoyed his other work but this one was so easy to listen to. I think it helped that he didn't have to do a female voice often. That deep and sexy voice trying to sound even a little feminine just doesn't seem to work for me.

I thoroughly enjoyed this audio and again, found another winner from the Romance Package.

Five reasons to grab your earbuds and listen to Full Package

You love combinations like salty and sweet. Told from the male pov, Blakley delivers a story about best friends turned lovers. It is complicated, deliciously hot, and will melt your heart. It's the perfect combination of humor, heat, and heart. In this story, we have two best friends dealing with housing issues in the big city. Chase is sleeping at his brother's and every apartment deal he thinks he has fallen through. Josie's roommate has moved out, and while she can afford the rent, she needs more money for her new bakery. Oh, did I mention he is a new Doctor, and she is a baker? They decide to share her two-bedroom apartment. Things are a tad complicated because secretly Chase has the hots for Josie..but he is a standup guy and values her friendship.

All of Blakely's books are standalone, but if you have read her previous books, these characters are linked. Josie is the sister of Nick from Mister O, and Chase is best friends with Wyatt from Well Hung. (hehe don't ya love the titles)

There are recipes nestled in between the chapters and a whole lot of baking going on. If talk of peanut butter brownies, Creme Brule, and cinnamon gets you, hot...you will love the foodie aspect. The two of them bake inside and outside the kitchen, and it was HOT!

I loved both Chase and Josie. Everyone knows Chase has a thing for Joise. He, of course, is clueless. The situation leads to humorous scenes all told from Chase's perspective, and it had me laughing out loud. This was followed by the inevitable...shared living quarters, late night tv, life talks, and off the chart chemistry. You, see where I am going here? Of course, there is some tension before Chase has his ah-ha moment. As I listened, I experienced all kinds of emotions. I was rooting for them, laughing with them and at times I wanted to shake them both. Confess your feelings! These two tried to be all logical. Grr. It was fun, sexy and heart-warming watching their relationship unfold.

Sebastian York is the perfect narrator for Blakely's books. I love both his male and female voices. He nails Chase, the humor, and the sexual tension. The man could make the phone book sexy.
