Tempting
He's my best friend's brother. He's off limits. But when I find the brooding tattoo artist's sketchbook full of dirty drawings - drawings of me - I can't resist.
Hooking Up
Sweet, booksmart grad student Iris and I have a friends with benefits arrangement with three simple rules. All fun. No strings. No falling in love. But then I've never been very good at following rules.
Pretend You're Mine
I'm pretending I'm in love with my best friend. What could possibly go wrong?
Leighton is my best friend. Pretending she's my girlfriend is a terrible idea, even if the entire world is expecting the breakdown of the year at my ex's wedding. Then she kisses me...and I forget we're pretending.

Book 2, Hooking Up (Playing): I actually liked this story more than Book 1 even though it was pretty clear where this one was going to end up from the beginning. I liked that it dealt with the topic of addiction. I didn't love the drawn out ending, but I could kind of understand it.
Book 3, Pretend You're Mine: Again, this one wasn't all that surprising with the story line but it was still good and it was different from the other two. I appreciated that all the stories in the set were unique.
The narration was consistent throughout the series. I've been a fan of the Wen Ross/Kai Kennicott team for awhile, but with this team I prefer dual narration (where each narrator takes one perspective) over duet (each narrator takes all the male or female parts). The duet style made the intimate scenes more realistic, but I would have liked more variation between thoughts vs. spoken words and for the different characters to sound more unique to make it feel more like an audio play when it's in duet style.
I preferred books 2 and 3 in the set

I enjoyed this book. She is 18 and he is 26 and also her best friends brother. They are torn between their feelings and what they think is the “right” thing to do. I liked the characters and the story line. I love Disney and so do the best friends in this book.
Playing/Hooking Up
I liked the characters in this book. I didn’t care for how their conflict was resolved but I liked their HEA. This book deals with drug addiction and the struggles they go through to overcome it.
Pretend your mine
I smiled a lot in this book because of how clever Layden was with not telling Ryan who she loved. I didn’t care for how much she was second choice in this book.
Overall I enjoyed all three books and their character interactions. I love these two narrators. They are fabulous voice actors. I definitely recommend this series. 🎧 Audiobook Obsession

I thought the first book was the weakest. I loved the characters, and their relationship was interesting, but I wasn’t a fan of the BDSM touch. It was out of place–especially since Kaylee is barely over 18. But it was a good way to introduce the other characters.
Walker’s struggles with addiction–not his, but of people around him–and Ryan’s struggles with betrayal–after his ex cheated on him–were nothing original, but I thought they were done well enough. The women who enter their lives find ways to help them heal. I especially enjoyed Ryan and Leighton’s story, and the way Ryan slowly opened himself to happiness after being the gloomy of the team for so long.
The writing isn’t always all that good though. There are multiple repetitions of the same phrases and sentences, sometimes so close to each other that they seem to echo. It’s especially noticeable in the intimate scenes.
As for the narration, done in duet style, it became better and better with each book. I thought the male narrator’s voice was perfect for Ryan–but the voice he does for Dean makes me want to listen to the next book in the series. The female narrator connected best with Iris, in my opinion. But they both do a good job anyway.
There’s something for everyone

Wen and Kai beautifully handle these at times intense books on duet narration and it was this series that cemented my enjoyment of them as a narration team.
Tempting #1 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A classic best friends brother trope and Brendon was my #1 broody BBF for a long time after this. And if I could describe this book in one word it would be that one. Brooding.
Hooking Up #2 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The chemistry between Walker and Iris bled off the page and while it didn't meet the lofty standards of Brendon and Kaylee it still hit the spot
Pretend You're Mine #3 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Friends to lovers meets fake dating where neither one wants to admit the other has feelings. The angst. The drama. I was here for all of it, honestly.
I want to thank the author for allowing me the opportunity to listen and review this ALC. All opinions are my own.
Solid and addictive 4 star bundle
