I'm now on 'Instant Gratification', which means I liked this book enough to continue with Jason & Truly's story, but I will say that 'halves' annoy me. I don't see the reasoning to them, other than more money for the book publisher.
I also haven't really learned much more about their relationship and am already on chapter 13. I know the logic might be that not everyone might have read this book, so a little back and forth might be necessary, but I feel like I'm at a standstill, plot-wise at the moment.
Therefore, you might want to skip this one and go straight to 'IG'.

A quickie of a novel, easy to listen to and spicy. Truly and Jason's backstory helps lead into Instant Gratification.
I don’t like these characters. This ended abruptly, but it was just a fill in before the next real book
I do love these two characters this is a great, I have already listened to their book so I knew going in what the end looks like but this was a sweet little taste of what these two characters are all about.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and I hope you do to.
Great narrators!

Super short. Audible has this series out of order, kind of annoying.
I don't know how she does it but Lauren Blakely has a talent for squeezing so much chemistry and passion into such a small package. What a treat!
The reading/listening order for this series is confusing. This novella came from a book “Instant Gratification” which is no longer available. That book was listed as 1.5 in the series. This is described as a prequel/teaser for Instant Gratification which is listed as book 2 in the series. After listening, I went to log Delayed Gratification into GoodReads and it’s listed as book 2.5. Chronologically, it’s before. I’ve heard there’s a flow chart somewhere detailing the chronological order of the books ~ because despite being listed as standalones, there’s some heavy crossings of characters/events even across multiple series. This book is an example. Spencer, from Big Rock (book 1 of Big Rock series) acts as omniscient “narrator” for this and is married to Truly’s best friend. The fact that a novella this short needs constant input from Spenser to clarify what’s going on proves the point.
While this audio is listed as 1.5 hours, only an hour of it is the novella – the last 30 minutes is actually an excerpt from Instant Gratification.
So, we’re down to an hour that is a quick intro in to how Truly and Jason meet as well as the hook-up they decide is better left as a mistake. Included in my Audible Escape membership this was merely OK. I can’t imagine spending money on it or listening to it again.
Duet narration. Sort of. Sebastian York, Andi Arndt, & Shane East all sound fantastic as usual. However, there’s a serious inconsistency in the “duet” classification. Sometimes it’s duet, sometimes it’s dual – even in the same paragraph. A big clue would have been that when Arndt had to use a British accent, that’s where East should have been heard talking. I get that it’s more expensive and takes a lot more work, but this felt thrown together in that respect.

Another super quick novella.
Long story short, it's a HEA but it's a really good one. I loved getting to know these characters because I listened to the novellas before the big books. Heck, I'm known for going into series out of order from time to time. Makes things interesting enough especially when it's these romance books. I did think it was quite hilarious that they two MC's were so focused on being friends. Mostly because I know that's not going to end up that way.. it never does.

This is a good beginning . . .
Great explanation of the intense chemistry between these two. I enjoyed this and I'm ready for more.

The novella between Jason and Truly. A little teaser before the full novel. Cast performed well on audio as usual.
