Best Laid Plans by Lauren Blakely
5.0
Best Laid Plans is Lauren Blakely's newest romantic, sexy comedy. As you know, I'm Lauren's biggest fan. I'm a huge fan of the woman, her writing, her characters, her sense of humor, her witty banter, her storytelling and the way she keeps coming up with new, fresh and exciting ways to entertain us. Best Laid Plans is Gabe and Arden's story.

Gabe and Arden are friends. Just friends. They have fun together, talking, bowling. When Arden decides she wants to know what it's like to be naughty, she enlists the help of her handsome friend, Gabe. He is ecstatic and thinks this is finally his chance to show her he thinks about her more than a friend. Until she tells him it's a "hands-off" lesson. What the what? Ok, he can do this. He'll just tell her, lead her and then maybe get the chance to actually show her. What could go wrong? Their friendship is strong and it will survive and if he has his way they will become more than friends. Arden didn't really think this plan through. She didn't realize how much just Gabe talking to her about sex would turn her on. But of course he's a player so he's good at this. He's just a friend helping out another friend. Right? Once they touch for real and can't seem to keep their hands off each other, Gabe knows this is his chance. But Arden is freaking out. She doesn't think he truly cares about her. But he does. He so does. Will Gabe fight for his woman? Will Arden finally see what their future could look like? I loved this story. So much! It's fun, sexy, sweet, romantic and swoony. Gabe isn't just a sexy, gorgeous fireman. He cares about people. Wants to help them, save them and provide for them. Arden is smart, funny and knows just the right wine to pair with a great book. I wish I could go visit her bookstore and ask her advice! I loved that Gabe was the one who wanted to jump in feet first from friendship to much more! Overall, I laughed, cried, laughed, swooned, laughed some more and had to fan myself. Lauren never disappoints with her sexy characters, fun stories and romantic words. Sometimes your best laid plans turn out the way you never thought they would. Backwards. Upside down. Even better.
The man has charm for miles - a playboy with a heart of gold.
"Because if we were together, my number one goal would be to make sure you were…satisfied."
