Publisher's summary

I ran into Derek while trying to escape the neighbor from hell.

Instantly, we hit it off. Since he’s only here for three months and the microbrewery leaves me little time for commitments, it’s the perfect setup for a fling.

He’s adventurous, challenges me, and he just gets me from the inside out.

With our expiration date quickly approaching, I’m left to wonder...will my heart ever be the same without the boy upstairs?

Enjoyable listen

I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet love story. Two independent people meet & agree to a fling while trying so hard to NOT fall in love. Low angst, no triggers & narration was excellent. I'll definitely listen to this author again.

Quick, sweet and steamy romance!

I really enjoyed this audiobook. It’s a sweet and steamy neighbors-to-lovers romance. Plenty of swoon, sweetness, and spice. Conner Crais and Vanessa Edwin narrate and did a fantastic job.

Sweet romance!

I loved this book! It had two strong characters, great chemistry, spicy romance, minimal angst and an HEA. Oh, and excellent narration!! I would absolutely listen to this book again!

5 Star fantastic!

The Boy Upstairs was my first book by Ms. Shelley and it will definitely not be my last. I really enjoyed this super cute and sexy story about a local bar owner/brewer and her hot upstairs neighbor. Sparks fly the moment they meet and despite their initial agreement, they became so much more to each other than they expected. They are so playful and fun and Derek is swoony!
Vanessa Edwin and Connor Crais are fantastic in this book.

Fantastic!

Amanda Shelley is a new to me author and Connor Crais was a new to me narrator. I've listened to Vanessa Edwin before and she's one of my favorites. I thought the story was good, well written, and engaging. I immediately felt connected to the characters and loved the humor of the book. I will definitely be checking out more of her books including the other books in this series.
The narration was fantastic and really brought the characters to life. This book was done in dual narration style and Connor and Vanessa did a wonderful job!

The Boy Upstairs

Derek is in town for three months for a job. He has every intention of enjoying the sweet little resort town of Bear Creek, Colorado while he is there. When a noisy neighbor has him leaving his apartment early in the morning,, he runs into another neighbor, Tessa, also running from the X-rated symphony coming their mutual neighbor's apartment. They immediately hit it off. Tessa offers to show him around and soon they are surrendering to a mutual attraction. But Derek's time in town is limited and Tessa's roots in Bear Creek are too deep. Will Tessa be able to go on with her happy life without the boy upstairs?

I got this book in a giveaway. Since it was narrated by one of my favorite narrators, Connor Crais, I decided to give this new (to me) author a try. What a delightful surprise. The Boy Upstairs is a sweet but very steamy story of people finding THE ONE, even when they are not looking for them.

I particularly loved how low angst this story is and how the story develops. I am certainly checking more of Amanda Shelley and also the All American Boy series.

The book is a standalone, but the series has 16 books in a shared universe. Scenes and characters may crossover.

Narration: Connor Crais never disappoints and Vanessa Edwin is a wonderful Tessa.

The boy upstairs

The beginning of this story cracked me up and i also felt sorry for the next door habitants. The early morning activities, long stamina. Thats how Derek and tessa meet. Derek coming to bear creek to help a client with his business. This is a cute small town romance. I am sorry this took me a while to review this.
