About this listen
USA Today bestselling author Talia Hibbert returns with another charming romantic comedy about a young woman who agrees to fake date her friend after a video of him 'rescuing' her from their office building goes viral - perfect for fans of Sally Thorne, Jasmine Guillory and Helen Hoang!
Danika Brown knows what she wants: professional success, academic renown and an occasional roll in the hay to relive all that career-driven tension. But romance? Been there, done that, burned the T-shirt. So Dani asks the universe for the perfect friend-with-benefits...
When brooding security guard Zafir Ansari rescues her from a workplace fire drill gone wrong, it's an obvious sign: PhD student Dani and ex-rugby player Zaf are destined to sleep together. But before she can explain that fact, a video of the heroic rescue goes viral. Now half the internet is shipping #DrRugbae - and Zaf is begging Dani to play along.
Dani's plan is simple: fake a relationship in public, seduce Zaf behind the scenes. But grumpy Zaf is secretly a romantic - and he's determined to corrupt Dani's stone-cold realism. With every fake date and midnight meeting, Dani's easy lay becomes more complex than her thesis. Has her wish backfired?
Or is the universe waiting for her to take a hint?

"Talia Hibbert is a rockstar! Her writing is smart, funny, and sexy." (Meg Cabot)
"The author's charm and wit sings off the page in this delightful fake-romance fare." (Bolu Babalola, bestselling author of Love in Colour)
The narration was perfection. I like the narration is british. Listing to it as I read was even better.
Wow! Why did it take this long to listen to this??

Oh my goodness I loved this.
I loved the discussions around men's mental health and I adored the sassy, confident Dani being taken on a journey to really understand why she feels the way she does.
This is a great romance and one you are rooting for almost immediately. The fake dating trope was a key part initially but it fell away so naturally that it felt real.
I loved the story, I loved the characters and I adored the ending.
I listened to this on audiobook via Audible and the narration was very good, highly recommend.

Then I read the Chloe Brown novel. The characters came across as rather superficial. I just couldn't understand why Redford fancied Chloe and wondered if a real life person iike him would, and alas, it made even less sense. There really wasn't anything very likeable about her. And it bothered me that she didn't appear to take much action. Even the barter of website versus "bucket list", didn't take away my impression, that she was taking and taking and not giving much back to the guy. Her health issues didn't make me feel much sympathetic towards her. It worked against the sex scenes. I didn't buy the romance. It came across as unrealistic. I know people who have the health issues Dani has and I just didn't buy the dynamic between these two characters..
Now here's Dani and, hell, is she an overrated drama queen. Terrible. A single rejection and she turns completely neurotic. It didn't come across as real. The male lead however, Zaf, was very credible and likeable and I really found it hard to believe Dani's "kindness" in addition to her great looks, was enough to make him fall. There's a difficult to believe discrepancy between Zaf's deep emotional intelligence, his maturity, his caring and loving nature and Dani's supposed superior intellect (which really isn't much to write home to about when we're given insight into her thought processes regarding Zaf) and self-obsessed, rather egocentric and neurotic lack of maturity. It just doesn't compute. I ended the book wishing Zaf would find a better woman than Dani. Voilà!
Neurotic overrated female lead

There is nothing wrong with Ione Butler narrating this story. But she is not Adjoa Andoh, the narrator of the first story, hence the 4 stars. Apologies.
Possibly even better than the first one?
