Happily Never After by Lynn Painter
4.5

Many thanks to my friends at @prhaudio for the free #gifted copy of this audiobook.
 
I have been in the worst reading slump.  Absolute worst.  
 
So when my bestie @bookmarked.by.becky texted me and told me I would LOVE Painter’s new book, I thought, “why not?” knowing that I had fallen hard for her last book, The Love Wager.  
 
Here’s how it went:  
⏰ Started Happily Never After Sunday afternoon.
⏰ Finished it early Sunday evening.  
 
Me….the girl struggling to connect with any books…finished this book in mere hours.  
 
And…. spoiler… I FREAKING LOVED IT!!!  
 
The cleverest concept.  Quality adult communication. The swooniest book boyfriend.  The witty banter.  The steamy chemistry.  
 
This book was everything I needed.  It is fun and flirty.  It’s fresh and unique.  I laughed out loud.  I sighed with contentment.  
 
WHAT an endorphin boost! Once again, Painter swept me off my feet.  
 
But now, I’m back in my slump…pining for more from Painter…eagerly awaiting next March. 
 
🎧 This audiobook was a pure delight.  I was fully engrossed by the dual narration by Helen Laser and Sean Patrick Hopkins.  Their performances drew me in and had me hanging on for each laugh or spark.  The friendship and chemistry were utterly convincing in Laser and Hopkins narrations
