Stupid Love

Written by Tara Wyatt

Narrated by Tor Thom

From bestselling author Tara Wyatt comes a funny, sexy friends to lovers romance set against the backdrop of Manhattan.

Theo Prescott is better off alone. A successful divorce attorney, he knows that relationships don’t last, true love isn’t real, and fairy tales are the stuff of fantasy. Deep down, he knows if he let himself fall for someone, he’d only end up causing pain. And he refuses to do that to anyone—including and especially his best friend, Lauren. Even if she’s gorgeous, ambitious, and smart. Warm and funny. Talented and quite possibly perfect for him.

Lauren MacKinnon has been pining after Theo for the better part of a decade. He’s sexy, intelligent, thoughtful and makes her laugh harder than anyone else. He’s her best friend, but if he knew how she felt about him, he’d run for the hills. She’s well aware of how he feels about love and relationships. And as much as her unrequited feelings hurt, she’s not willing to risk their friendship for an impossibility.

Lauren knows it’s time to move on, so when her friends suggest Theo set her up on a blind date, she agrees. But when Theo realizes that he can’t handle watching Lauren with another man, sparks just might fly.

Reviews for Stupid Love

[Karen Blatchford · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I thought it was okay. Predictable friends to lovers romance.

[Samantha Stovall · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Nice voice, Awful narration. The enunciation is all off. Story was ok.

[Gina Kay Rickard · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

[maureen gattuso · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Against negative remarks about the narrator I tried to listen but just couldn’t handle him dropping the last word of the sentence- great voice but say the words- couldn’t listen to this book can’t rate because I didn’t read the book. I’ll give it all stars cuz the story sounds interesting also I did not say I loved it that was placed by the ratings thread!

I enjoyed the book. Predictable, but that’s sort of what I was looking for so I’m good with that.

2 stars is because of the narrative. He has an amazing voice but he needs breathing lessons or something. You can hear every time he takes a breath. “Once upon a time there was a strong, handsome man. BREATH. He lived in a faraway land called New York City. BREATH.”

[Lilianna Neguț · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Nice book, ordinary but it keeps you there listening. I liked it

[Carrie Nevarez · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Finally a spicy book without a bunch of kink or butt stuff.

This is a friends to lovers romance with a dirty talking hero and a smart, strong heroine. Thoroughly enjoyed.

[Kimi · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

I would not recommend this book at all. The book was most certainly neither hot not steamy as claimed in the 'about the author' chapter. The narrator has a huge problem seeing full words as he cuts the end off of so many words it becomes more than irritating.
