Publisher's summary

I’m not boyfriend material.

If a trail of broken hearts and a piss-poor record of failed relationships have taught me anything, it’s this. My buddies are happy to give me shit about my latest breakup from here to next Sunday. Thanks, but I’d rather have a root canal.

And a vasectomy.

At the same time.

Relief comes in an unlikely package - the gorgeous and feisty Maren. She just so happens to be my best friend’s sister, so that’s not awkward at all.

But I’m a man on a mission, and Maren is down to teach me all the ways I’ve been failing as a boyfriend. Apparently, there are many. And it’s all very informative - until I start to catch feelings.

Now it’s not just my reputation on the line, but my heart, too.

Love a man that knows what he wants!

Hayes and Maren have the best story to lighten the mood and cause some laughs. These two are fun and light, they're intense and sexy. They had a pull toward each other that I don't even know how they resisted as long they did! I have to say that I am beyond giddy to watch this pack of players all thanked in the heart with a case of feelings! I love that Kendall Ryan started to tease us with the next book in this series. I'm eagerly awaiting Wolf's takedown!

With the narrator unit being Sebastian York and Erin Mallon, The Boyfriend Effect had plausible hit writtfit his sweet, tender voice. It hits all the right spots. Erin Mallon also hit this narration right on the mark. Her voice is like velvet... all soft and luscious!

Frisky Business

I am so excited about the Frisky Business series! Maren and Hayes were a great start! These two are one hot couple. I love a good brother's best friend/sister story and Kendall did not disappoint with these two! Maren is definitely not a meek little sister either, this girl knows what she wants and willing to go after it. The lake scenes were awesome! And Grandma Rosie and Don were so cute too! Another must read! Can't wait for Wolfie's book!

Entertainment gold!

This audiobook is entertainment gold. The way the story is narrated and how Hayes and Maren are brought to life is amazing. I just loved listening and honestly didn’t want it to end. The banter was fantastic and the whole storyline had my attention. Hayes and Maren have sizzling chemistry and their ease of friendship is wonderful. Hayes grandma is such good value too and this story definitely made my heart happy. It was easy to listen to and I would highly recommend it. Will Hayes and Maren get their happily ever after?
Loved it.

A frisky read!

His not boyfriend material...

Another hit from a favourite author! Enjoyed every second of it. Honestly, this book was a life sent because I just needed an escape and it provided!

Now that I am done, do you know what I am going to do?? That's right, re-listen! Or, maybe I will get the kindle version and read it! Either way, diving back in!

The narrators were, of course, brilliant and outstanding!
