THE NEXT BEST FLING

Ruby Corazon delights as the narrator of this debut contemporary romance featuring a librarian and an ex-NFL star. Each is attempting to get over their feelings for their ex--both of whom are newly engaged. Can they do so by hooking up with each other? Everyone thinks Marcela Ortiz and Theo Young are sleeping together anyway, so why not play along? When their ruse turns into real feelings during their library and football dates, Marcela has to decide if she can ever trust that Theo is over the bride-to-be and if it's even possible to have a real relationship with her ex's older brother. Corazon captures Marcela's Mexican-American speech and Theo's gruff emotions, making for a fun and steamy listen. B.A.G. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2024]
