ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 18, 2020.

A sexy new friends-to-lovers standalone!

Let me list the reasons why dating a sexy, charming, pro hockey star is a bad idea:
1. He’s one of my closest friends
2. All our friends are friends
3. The wounds I’ve got from past relationships go deep. And so do his.

We’re both devoutly single — it’s just safer for the heart that way. But there’s no reason not to bid on the gorgeous, clever athlete at the charity auction this weekend. If I win, it’ll be a friendsdate.

And I do win.

I win him big.

And hard.

And all night long.

The trouble is . . . what happens in the morning?

REVIEW:THANKS FOR THE LAST is the third instalment in Lauren Blakely’s contemporary, adult. THE GUYS WHO GOT AWAY erotic,romance series focusing on a tight-knit group of friends. This is professional hockey player Ransom North, and philanthropist and social media promoter Teagan King’s story line. THANKS FOR LAST NIGHT can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Teagan and Ransom) as well as several ‘cameo’ points of view THANKS FOR LAST NIGHT follows the friends to lovers relationship between professional hockey player Ransom North, and philanthropist and social media promoter Teagan King. As the two remaining singles in their group of friends, Ransom North and Teagan King both profess to keep their relationship strictly in the friend zone but a bachelor auction finds Ransom asking Teagan to bid for his date in an effort to come out on top. A winning bid, and one night together stirs something deep for both Teagan and Ransom, something neither one was willing to admit having loved and lost in the past. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Teagan and Ransom as both continue to deny the are looking for something more.

Throughout the story Teagan and Ransom watch as their friends fall in love, get married and consider Starting families but having been burned in the past, Ransom and Teagan struggle with a direction in their personal lives. One night together turns into something more, and with a little poking and prodding from their well-meaning friends Ransom and Teagan reconsider their lives together.

The relationship between Ransom and Teagan is a friends to lovers relationship. Ransom struggled with the betrayal of his former girlfriend, and in this he never wanted to place himself in a similar situation while Teagan lost the support of a former lover when her own life spiraled out of control. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of the over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

All of the previous couples return as secondary and supporting characters as well as Ransom’s sister Tempest, and his verbal sparring partner, professional baseball player Adrian Martinez. We are up close and personal with Logan and Bryn on the day of the nuptials, and like many of the couples, considering a future with or without children.

THANKS FOR LAST NIGHT is a story of family, friendships, relationships and love; a story of second chances of a sort for two people burned by love, never hoping to find their own happily ever afters. The premise is entertaining and energetic; the romance is seductive and fated; the characters are sassy and fun.
