Summary

Spencer Cohen is the guy who gets answers to relationship questions. Playing the role of the new lover, his job is to make his client's ex realize one of two things: he doesn't want to break up or he really does. Either way, his client gets answers.

The ex would either apologize and beg, or turn and walk. But in the end, Spencer's client won. If he wanted his ex back and got him, it was great. If the guy walked away, then as hard it was for the client, he knew it was over. Regardless of the outcome, Spencer's work was done.

Andrew Landon's ex left him without so much as an explanation. But his sister can't stand to see him miserable, so, much to Andrew's dismay, they hire Spencer to be Andrew's new boyfriend to get the ex back.

For Spencer, it is never personal. Merely a business transaction. No emotions, no strings, no complications. Yeah right. Even a blind man could see how this would end.

Contains mature themes.

A perfect pair!!

Take any N. R. Walker book give it to Joel Lesley to narrate and it will be f***ing amazing. I have listened to nearly everything they have done together an not found one dud, or mediocre listen.
Spencer Cohen, book 1 is my new favourite and is top of my 2018 list so far. Can’t wait for the next instalment ❤️

Superb

These kinds of fake boyfriend stories are nothing new but N.R. Walker's treatment of it was definitely fresh and best of all there was no unnecessary drama. I loved both Andrew and Spencer. They both showed strength and vulnerability and were perfect together as Spencer said ying to his yang. On top of that Joel Leslie's narration made the story even better. I am looking forward to listening to the rest of the series.
A tiny point, hearing a little from Andrew's point of view would have made the story even more enjoyable.

Great

Always enjoy listening to Joel Lesley narration. He is a true delight. This book is beautifully written, with highs and lows along the way. As with life it is a journey you travel with these two sweet characters.

Atmospheric and great characters

The premise of the story is great. Set in hot and sunny LA with a charming Australian lead Spencer and a soft spoken second male lead Andrew. The romance is genuinely believable, Spencer and Andrew are adorable together and are genuinely great characters in their own right. Supporting cast is brilliant and diverse and the whole "pretend to date to make your ex jealous but fall in love instead" trope is done wonderfully. Unfortunately I have a bit of an issue with N.R. Walker's works simply due to the fact that I enjoy a little more plot with my romance and so far a lot of her books are very atmospheric and not really plot heavy. Don't get me wrong they are very well written and the atmosphere really conveys the vibe and the mood and enhances the romance, especially in these series. However, it can get a little repetitive. I have read this a few months back and unlike may other books I actually do not recall a lot of the plot. I remember the romance and the minimal drama quite well. But if you ask me to tell you what happened outside of the relationship between the two men I couldn't for the life of me list the flow of events. Maybe its just me. In any case I would recommend this book to those who love atmospheric stories a 100%! Listen to this while you are walking or doing other things and it will flow amazingly well. I found I could not focus on it on its own for too long.
Joel Leslie is a darling as usual though and makes this book so much more!

I Absolutely Loved this Book

This book was everything you could ask in a good book. A good story, a little bit of drama & brilliant characters, This book had the ability to make me laugh so much & also feel so sad for the different characters at times
Joel Leslie is an absolute master as a narrator & it wasn't like he was reading a book but telling you a story about his day, over & over.
I'm so pleased that I can listen to all the books in this series one after the other because having to wait until another book came out would have been torture.
I would most definitely recommend this book.

Strong, but needs editing

This is a lovely story. Characters are well developed, so that the reader actually cares what becomes of them. Joel Leslie's narration is strong - he has a way of making it sound as if he's telling the story rather than reading it.

But... there are significant continuity errors throughout this series that an editor should have picked up. Duplications of passages, contradictions (some of which are fairly central to the story)... that sort of thing.

That said, it's a worthwhile read.

Great book!

Great start to the series! I really liked Spencer and Andrew and I can't wait to read more about them. I'm going to start the next book right away! The narrator was brilliant and brought the story to life beautifully.
