About this listen
An Inkitt Summer of Romance Winner
Truth or Dare at a teenage party is standard.
When Rose Johnson chooses dare, she’s relieved that all she has to do is send a text to a complete stranger.
Well, a complete stranger to her, anyway.
A text can change everything.
Rose isn’t expecting a text back. So, it’s a shock when she receives one.
And she’s annoyed when she realizes she’s given her number to an obnoxious player that finds amusement in teasing her.
But you don’t judge a book by its cover.
Before Rose knows it, she’s falling for him.
He’s not just a player.
He’s so much more.
Falling in love through text messaging is easy.
She’s head over heels for him.
And she hasn’t even met him yet.
Or has she?

After all, Waverly’s star wide receiver is the most notorious player on campus. He’s arrogant. Infuriating. Sexy as hell.

Story
Wedding planner Bailey Bliss always knew she would plan her first love's wedding. She just assumed she'd be the bride walking down the aisle. But it seems life has a sense of humor. Just when she thinks everything has fallen into place after her ex moves back to the Bay area, his fiancée hires her to plan their destination wedding. The smart thing to do would be to cancel the contract. Unfortunately, the hopeless romantic, AKA glutton for punishment, in her can't do that. She needs to see the man who she's pined two decades for say 'I do' to someone else.

Story
King is a determined billionaire… posing as a professional cuddler to get close to me. He's the type of man who always gets what he wants, and right now, he wants me—the socially awkward, plus-size model with intimacy issues. I've never had anyone hold me, hug me–or even love me–and my therapist thinks a professional cuddler will help break down the walls I've built to protect my heart. I'm skeptical at best… But King is so good at holding me together that the line between professional and personal quickly blurs, igniting a passion I'm not prepared for.

Sleeping with the NFL quarterback who the media has dubbed Mr. Perfect might not have been the smartest move, but I’m in the City of Love, I’d had a few drinks, and was jacked up on giddy girl talk and hopeful hearts—two things I never buy into—and I threw caution to the wind. I want to sneak out before he wakes up, but when I open my eyes, he’s already up. In more ways than one.

I, Drake Colter, solemnly swear I DO NOT WANT a girlfriend . . . Carefree and ridiculously good-looking, I have the entire student body eating from the palm of my hand—shouldn't I let the ladies on campus have their fill rather than being tied down? If only my brother Drew would take notes from my playbook. As identical twins, we share the same voice, the same face, and the same physique; it's virtually impossible to tell us apart—but that's where the similarities end.

When I sold a vintage typewriter, I never imagined its new owner would become my pen pal, best friend, and secret crush. We have two rules: no photos and no real names. Over the years, "Remington" and I have gone from typewritten notes to daily texts, but our rules stay the same. And so does my life. I'm a wannabe writer who can't complete a novel, and I've fallen for a guy who I've never met. So when I received a letter my Nanna wrote before she died encouraging me to embark on a summer of risks—my first on the list was to break all the rules.

PJ & Rose!
Did you ever send a text to a complete stranger? Rose Johnson takes the dare, and texts the stranger knowing only their initials. There is no chance the person would text back. If you don't know the person, you ignore it. But PJ didn't. He texted back. And now Rose is in a quandry. Should she answer him? Is it a guy or a girl? Well, the answers come quick and furious, leading to phone calls, to meeting him. But they are just friends. Nothing more. Acquaintances from a miscellaneous text. Until it's more. This is a fun, quick listen that had me from the first text. It's full of witty banter, great personality and a budding love that is just a joy to follow. I love Parker. He is so protective, and though a player by reputation, he has a loyal heart. Rose is full of surprises. She is innocent yet, not. This is a great new adult romance, had me smiling and falling in love.
Caroline Fantozzi and Elliot Matthews give a fantastic duet performance. Their chemistry is pouring through the texts and the phone calls making the relationship bloom and grow. I loved these two and enjoyed the book.

Cute and charming
I read this book two years ago and it was so good to listen to this story this time.
I already liked this book and the audiobook was really good. The performance of both narrators was perfect to bring both characters to life.
The story was cute, charming and sweet. I felt like I could see myself in the female character when I was her age.
I really loved their connection and the way they love each other. I read this book so quick. I love the little game with initials. Such a lovely book.
I really appreciate this story.

Such an adorbably sweet story!!!
My mind was blown away by Caroline Fantozzi and Elliot Matthews. They are both new to me narrators and I absolutely loved them. Both of them are so fitting as Rose and Parker James. Their voices had a very soothing sound to them (and that may have just been the accents) and I found myself not wanting to turn the audio off.
Caroline definitely has that soft spoken/innocent tone that portrayed Rose exquisitely and Elliot, he was great at coming across as cocky and then at other moments having the most loving and tender tone. I cannot wait to listen to these two some more.
My goodness if this wasn’t just the cutest little story. Rose and Parker James are so heartwarming with their story. They have one of the cutest meet-cutes I have ever read/listened to before. Their text messages back and forth in the beginning are great and they just get better from there.
Watching these two build a foundation for friendship first and then a relationship was very refreshing. Rose is kind of innocent and inexperienced and Parker James is one smooth fella but he has complete respect for her and even though his family life is in somewhat of an upheaval he still manages to want to do good by Rose and treat her like a queen. When the little plot twist/misunderstanding happened I am pretty sure my jaw hit the floor because I couldn't believe what was happening and I was so upset for both Rose and Parker James.
This is one of the cleanest romances I have listened to in a long time and I didn't even notice half the time that the spicy stuff was not there because the story is so dang good. Linzvonc proves that a story can consume the reader/listener with minimal spice because it was the characters of Rose and Parker James that consumed me with all their cuteness and little to no spice.
