Summary

I'm stuck in the friend zone with the hottest guy I've ever known. Oh, and he's my best friend.

Zach pushes me away the moment sparks fly, and sparks have been flying since the day we met. For some aggravating reason, he's intentionally keeping me at a distance.

The way I see it, I have two options. I can leave town and make a fresh start, or I can show Zach how right we are for each other. The problem is, one of those options has the potential to ruin the best friendship I've ever had.

But I'm considering risking it all for love.

Excerpt:

"Nessa." His voice is a strangled growl.

"This shouldn't be a big deal. You said you're not attracted to me," I remind him.

"I didn't say that."

"You said there's nothing to worry about, and that I should make myself comfortable."

"I didn't think you were gonna skinny-dip."

A RITA-nominated friends-to-lovers romance. Grab Never Date Your Best Friend now! Never Date Your Best Friend can be enjoyed as a stand-alone novella, and it is also a part of a series.

Previously titled Hookup Master.

Great narration, but mediocre story

Okay, but just okay nothing more.
This is the 3rd book in a series that I have read and it was not much better than the previous ones. I found it mediocre and can not be bothered to read the rest of the series.

short story

this story was ok, the female narration was slow. the male narration was good. the substance of the story was a bit lacking for me. but it passed a few hours and it wasn't bad.

great story

the female narrator was too slow in normal speed and her different voices were not great but overall performance is great and she has a great accent
male narrator is great too but yeah not good at female voices but can't blame the man 'cause seriously he has a deep voice. overall story is the typical climax and all but overall the story is great.

I don't rate Emily Bauer

Emily Bauer doesn't have the best ability to represent different characters voices well and it sounded weird.

the almost drama was so silly I almost stopped rea

thankfully it didn't last too long and was resolved quickly. this book felt shorter than it was and I'm not sure if that was a good or bad thing.

Best, so far, of the excellent Never Date series

The story is great. Shorter than the others, but sweet. The narration is excellent! Zachary Webber is perfect and wonderful as always. This story benefits from having two points of view and two narrators. Other audiobooks in this series, with one female narrator only, were great, but still less great than this one. Great tension, great steam, great characters! Jules Barnard knows how to create the perfect blend!

Cute

This was was really cute. I wish it was a bit longer, I would have liked a bit more of Nessa & Zack’s story.

Short Listen

This felt like a few chapters from another book. Just as I was getting into the story it ended!!!

When Zach was 15 years old and his mum's best friend stated to touch him inappropriately then sleeps with him at 16 yrs old that is grooming and child abuse!

This book should have followed through with reporting the N.O.N.C.E to the police as women are child abusers too. So I felt let down by this book as justice was not served!!!
