Awwww, Clark Kent and Betty Boop.... or not, but the alter egos of the 2 MCs in this one. I love Lauren Blakely, and this one was another. The witty banter, the steamy scenes. And of course the office romance between Link and Amy. Their chemistry was instant and they clicked so well. Absolutely perfect.
(And of course, DOGS!)

Struggled with this book for some reason. It just didn't hold my interest. I'm interested Peyton and Tristan's story.

A truly dishy read! Asking For A Friend is now one of my favorite Lauren Blakely reads!! She delivered on my every bucket wishlist fantasy!
A hot, nerdy, well-read, Clark Kent, book boyfriend - Check!
A sassy, thesaurus-loving, cake-eating, heroine - Double Check!
Lauren also splashed in a lot of my favorite movies and to top off my bucket list there are novel references galore. Asking For A Friend is like reading a slice of heaven.
Linc is new to New York city. He's recently moved across country after a dumpster fire of an office romance that left him feeling less than stellar. The last thing he needs is to jump straight into another relationship. However, he can't help noticing the magnetic pull to Amy Summers, a fellow coworker, on his first day of work, nor the easy conversation he seems to have with her. He knows he needs to nip it in the bud, but that's easier said than done. Linc joins a dating app to help get his mind off of Amy, what he finds is the perfect match, who also happens to remind him of a certain co-worker, but he tells himself a stranger outside of the office is still better than one in it.
Amy is focused on work and a possible promotion. The last thing she needs is romance clouding her mind. When Linc Silvers joins the staff her mind does get filled with visions of his Clark Kent look-a-like features, but she doesn't take it beyond the mental stimulation into the real world setting. However, when her best friend tells her she's ready to begin dating again, Amy takes it upon herself to create a profile for her and weed out the bad suitors, she just never expected to enjoy the weeding quite so much. Her conversations with the pick of the patch go into the late night hour, she's having a really nice time. It's all for her friend and to build her confidence (uh huh, we all like to lie to ourselves, it helps).
As Linc and Amy get to know one another better, as "virtual strangers" they also find their real life chemistry is hard to ignore in the office. What do you do when life gives you a flower among the weeds, but you've made it clear that you were just getting to know and asking everything about him for a friend?
Linc and Amy really do sizzle right off the page and all of Amy's book ideas...I'm very excited to read more upcoming titles in this new Boyfriend Material world. No two people belong together more than Linc and Amy and seriously, this book is just a good, fun read.

I enjoyed this book and definitely recommend! A good rom-com to me!
I like books that wait a while until the couple actually hookup.
