Their banter is highly entertaining and they definitely bring out the best in one another. She's strong, independent and driven and she exudes confidence in all she does. Add in his sexy British accent (he's half Brit, half Dane) and yeah.he's pretty perfect! Elise is smart, sassy and has a heart of gold.

He's sexy, he's blunt and I love his dirty, dirty mouth. He's carefree and fun (hello.naked handstands on a dock in Copenhagen!!) and living life on his own terms. Christian is hilarious and up there as one of my favorite Blakely characters. We got a taste of their meeting in that story but there were a ton of questions I had and I was overjoyed to finally get them in this book. Let's talk characters.We first met Christian and Elise in Wanderlust where they were close friends of the main characters Joy and Griffin. Their casual, flirty relationship as well as their sizzling attraction coupled with the most romantic backdrop makes this story one that readers will absolutely adore! It is a complete standalone but is interconnected with a previous story however it isn't necessary to have read it prior to reading Part-Time Lover. I believe that Christian and Elise are probably the most entertaining couple yet in Blakely's arsenal. It's deliciously fun and I gobbled up every fabulous moment of it. This newest story from the incomparable Lauren Blakely starts with one of my most favorite meet-cutes ever. Part-Time Lover was truly a full-time joy to read. *** I received an advanced copy and chose to review it *** I really enjoyed listening to this book and I look forward to reading more from Lauren Blakely. His accent was spot on and he did an amazing job. I listented to the audio book of Part-Time Lover and though both narrators did a great job, Shane East really stole the show voicing Christian. I thought we were only fun and games when we started, but then, unexpectedly, she took my heart. Christian and Elise both try to deny their feelings for each other but it's impossible. What she does to help is a little extreme, but it's temporary. His company is in jeopardy and Elise and Christian are just the pair to help.Įlise has been hurt in the past and the thing she hates most is seeing someone taken advantage of by someone who they love. What is supposed to be a fun date turns into a family crisis for Christian when his brother calls. Fast forward a year or so later in Paris and fate has plans to bring them back together again.

They set up a date, but it works out that they never get to have that date. What a way to start a book! Elise is on a holiday in Denmark with a friend and sees Christian while on a tour. The way Christian and Elise met was memorable. I'm definitely going to read more by this author when I'm in the mood for a light read! Part-Time Lover was my first book by Lauren Blakely and I enjoyed it! It was adorable, funny, sexy, and romantic.
