    Just a Boyfriend

    Written by Sariah Wilson

    Narrated by Lauren Sweet and Joe Arden

    About this audiobook

    The rules of love and second chances are due for a major-league shake-up in a warm, witty, and unpredictable romance by the bestselling author of The Friend Zone.

    Ian “Bash” Sebastian and Ember Carlson were high school sweethearts…until their single parents got married. With one thorny twist of fate, a secret young crush went from on fire to off-limits. What could a new stepbrother do but bail? Now, after almost four years, Bash has returned to Seattle, and he’s back in Ember’s orbit at End of the Line. EOL is the go-to college for second-chance scholarships. But what about love?

    Sure, the old hurts are there. So is the attraction—and it’s more magnetic than ever. Still, they’re adults now, levelheaded and just fine with the friend thing. If only to make family dinners less awkward. But when they agree to start dating other people, moving on threatens to bring them closer together than ever.

    Is it time to admit their past to their parents? Even trickier, their hope for the future? Because Ember and Bash deserve a love story of their own. With all their defenses down, can they make it a happy ever after?

    Sariah Wilson

    Bestselling author Sariah Wilson has never jumped out of an airplane or climbed Mount Everest, and she is not a former CIA operative. She has, however, been madly, passionately in love with her soul mate and is a fervent believer in happily ever afters—which is why she writes romances like the End of the Line novels, the Royals of Monterra series, and the #Lovestruck novels. After growing up in Southern California as the oldest of nine (yes, nine) children, she graduated from Brigham Young University with a semi-useless degree in history. She currently lives with the aforementioned soul mate and their four children in Utah, along with three tiger barb fish, a cat named Tiger, and a recently departed hamster who is buried in the backyard (and has nothing at all to do with tigers).

      Just a boyfriend? More like secret-ex/best-friend-she-can't-get-over.

      “You believed in the tooth fairy for the first nine years of your life. You can believe in yourself for the next two hours. Right. I totally could.”

      I have not read the first book in this series, nor much else in the genre, and this was an oddly revelatory experience. From her Pride-and-Prejudice-loving mother, to a fancy for limericks, and friends who would of course end a game of monopoly with a communist revolt - reading about Ember is eerily like watching a reel of personal memories. And of course, she loves cake. I guess it’s be hard not to relate.

      “Now that I have my own personal and very handsome food fairy, I need to know if I can make requests.”

      One thing I think I might be missing from starting with the second book is a sense of conflict. This story is mostly fluff, and I suspect it pairs nicely with the angsty ending of the first book.

      As a note, in each other’s eyes, Ember and Bash are Perfect. Not a character flaw in sight. It got repetitive... but I liked them enough to get over it.

      “And I am officially shipping you guys harder than FedEx.”
