About this listen

A delicious romantic comedy performed by Sebastian York & Vanessa Edwin!

I’ve got a list of people I absolutely don’t ever want to be stuck with on a boat, or a plane, or a train, and it starts and ends with the broody, grumpy, too-sexy-for-my-own good Axel Huxley.

Also known as this romance novelist’s number one nemesis.

The man is legendary for his mighty pen and his even mightier scowl. I tried to work together with the cocky thriller writer once upon a time, but the two of us are like vodka and good decisions. We don’t play well together.

Only now, our publishers are sending us on a joint trip across Europe to mingle with our most devoted readers on an old-fashioned luxury train. And thanks to a booking snafu, we have to share a sleeper car.

You guessed it—there's only one bed.

I'm not sure I can survive the next seven days and nights with my dangerously sexy enemy and all our fiery tension.

Which explodes one night in a desperately needed hate bang.

But the bigger plot twist is thisthe more time we spend together, visiting the most romantic cities in Europe by day and discovering each other at night, the more I’m forced to face our past.

To let go of the hurt.

To see the man he’s become.

And when I do, I wonder if it’s too late to write a new happy ending for us?

(Please note: this book was previously titled My So-Called S-e-x Life! The story remains the same under the new title My So-Called Love Life)

I very much looked forward to this story, I have been waiting for Axel and Hazels story for a while and it’s finally here!

What can I say? I love the sassy and clever ms Valentine and when paired with the cocky & arrogant Mr Huxley sparks fly!

This story of one time friends, to arch nemeses, to lovers story will have you laughing and swooning. There is some serious chemistry between the two main characters but also I adore the fun, if very familiar, side characters.

Overall the book is fun, sweet & sexy. The narrators do brilliant job on this audio book with Sebastian York’s gravelly growly voice making us all swoon for Axel and Vanessa Edwin’s portrayal of the sassy Hazel making us all fall for the heroine.

A great adventure

I was so excited for this book when I first saw teasers, and I’m so happy that I got to listen to the audiobook! I loved it so much! The trip through Europe, the close quarters on the train, the play on tropes in romance novels, it all worked so well for a swoony and amazing love story. It had the best balance of banter and love, of going from nemeses to lovers. I love reading stories set in places I’ve been, reliving the memories made in those places, and this book definitely took me back! A great low-angst romance for if you want to escape into some amazing cities! I just wish I could read all the books Axel and Hazel were writing!

What an amazing story!

This was a fun story to listen to as the two authors fight their irritation with each other along with their attraction. Only for a long promotional book your has them in close quarters, and with fans.
The narrators Vanessa Edwin and Sebastian York where brilliant keeping the story flowing and all the characters separate.

If you want a classic, whip-smart enemies to lovers romance with two writers forced to share a cabin on a luxury train ride across Europe which leads to some very hot scenes and an love story of their own, then this is the one for you. Hazel Valentine is a wonderful character, a smart talented romance writer who doesn't put up with any rubbish and Vanessa Edwin beautifully captures her quirky, funny and endearing personality with a hint of steel. Axel Huxely, the thriller writer, Hazel's one time writing partner and now Arch Nemesis, is a curious mix of pedantic and driven, brilliant and also adorably vulnerable and sensitive at times.

I loved everything about their story and the fact that they reconnect while doing a VIP readers tour in a beautiful grand tour across some of the beautiful cities across Europe makes my heart soar. The love the author has for the romance reader community and the Book Besties is amazing, the sweeping panoramic sightseeing is heavenly and the delicious chemistry and tension building between Hazel and Axel and the revelation of what lead to the breakdown of their writing partnership is just the best.

This is my favourite Lauren Blakely book in quite some time!! Long live romance authors and their devoted readers and fans. This is a story for you, Romancelandia.

Hazel and Axel are #romantic goals!

This was such a Fab story! Loved all of the references to Romance Tropes. Plus all of the wonderful travel references and the catching up with characters from Lauren's other books.
Just such a happy, joyful listen all the way through.
I always love Vanessa Edwin's narration, and Sebastian York could read out the phone book and still make it sound amazing & sexy!

Loved this so much!
