In a single word: WOW! This boxed set surprised me. I like to listen to audiobooks on my evening walks, but this one became my main read as I was listening to book 1 and book 3 in this set. These stories are interconnected, but book 1 and 3 follow Larson & Troy (5 stars). Book 2 follows Lloyd & Luke (4 stars). And don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed Lloyd & Luke’s story, but Larson & Troy’s relationship just sucked me in. It made me laugh, tear up, and fan myself. The steamy scenes were incredible, but the plot and these characters were the real crowning jewels of this set.
And this narrator gets 5 stars as well. He is one of the best narrators I’ve listened to. He does amazing character voices, bringing the world and characters to life and making it super easy to differentiate between each voice. He definitely did this amazing story justice!

I started this book and hated both characters immediately, but as I read on I changed my mind. I found myself laughing more than fuming. I found them both perfect for each other and the others that end up in their tornado of a relationship. The more involved I got the more I found them growing on me. And Ida (and her frying pan) is just the best neighbor. I really loved her conversations with “her boys”. I really enjoyed all three of these books and the whole family unit.
I’m reviewing the audio edition. This is such a fun series. It kept me laughing.
1 story Blackballed
Larson Blackburn is a writer who is totally upset by a review his book got by Troy (Babu) Babilonia, professional reviewer. The review comments added to the outrageousness. This is a really funny story. When the first actual meeting between these two is in an elevator and neither found out who the other was. Later when they actually meet a war began. The disagreement between these two is hilarious. The author gave Troy such a sarcastic personality that he kept me laughing. The back and forth and relationship between these two kept me laughing till the end of the two extra’s at the end. The second review had me laughing out loud and everyone around me looking. The part of the competition between Larson and Troy over Ida’s baking is totally a visual I enjoyed.
2 Guns Blazing
Lloyd Ledbetter is upset by the break up with Larson. When his client Luke Gunner appears the attraction between the two turns into more than attorney/client relationship. Lloyd is an obsessive personality. Luke, a money launderer, is more alpha laid back. As Luke’s defense is being worked out, things are not what they seem. This also had it’s funny moments, especially the bathroom etiquette lesson. I’m still having a hard time seeing these two as a couple.
3 Hard Edit
This is a continuation of Larson and Troy’s relationship. In my opinion this is the best of the series. These two compete on almost everything and since they are opposites if gave me plenty of laughs. This is almost a retake on The Odd Couple. Troy writes a novel and is an instant success while Larson being experienced does not have the same success. They compete for Ida’s attention. They compete over everything include vows. Troy likes surprises, Larson doesn’t. Larson is obsessively neat, Troy is not. When their ex’s enter into the story it creates quite the misunderstanding. Their back and forth even during sex, is what adds so much to this series. There is so much to this story that it would take writing a book to touch on everything. I love this series and will be checking out more by these two authors. I was given a free copy by Story Origin and this is my opinion.
3.5 Stars = These guys really take the cake with the drama. Of course, even though they are a bit over-the-top sometimes, they remained entertaining. Lloyd and Luke’s was my favorite of the three. Although, it was fun to have a follow up story on Troy and Larson.
I should mention that all three stories are chock full of HEAT! Indoors, outdoors, private, public. Nowhere is safe!
The narrator was enjoyable but it was sometimes hard to distinguish the characters with there being so many male characters. Overall, a valiant job.
