BIRTHDAY SUIT is here! Grab your copy today!
There is no rule in the Man Code as unbreakable as this: no matter how beautiful, smart, clever, and witty she is, do not—under any circumstances—fall in love with your best friend’s woman.
Yeah. So there’s that. Look, it’s not like I didn’t know I screwed up by falling for her.
Also, for the record, unrequited love sucks big time.
And, I might have cut myself some slack by now, given everything that went down in the last few years, but Lulu just walked back into my life in a big way.
***
There are three things I’ve never been able to resist—my friends, my family, and chocolate.
Leo Hennessy? He was nowhere on that list. He’s been a true friend—a friend who walked through hell and back with me.
Now, I’m stepping into my new future. I didn’t expect it to include a riddle-filled, race-against-the-clock scavenger hunt across New York City.
With Leo.
Suddenly, I’m looking at this man with new eyes…
But my life spun out because of a man once before, and I can’t risk my fresh start, no matter what the temptation. And Leo is most definitely a temptation of the sexiest, sweetest, and most dangerous variety.
More irresistibly delicious than chocolate…

Review
NO SPOILERS!
Birthday Suit was a fun, sexy, swoony, lighthearted romantic comedy from Lauren Blakely, and I absolutely loved it! I don’t know how she does it, but Ms. Blakely has continued to blow me away with every new release, and I adored her writing style and the storyline and characters she created in Birthday Suit.
The storyline and characters were exceptional, and everything was balanced perfectly. The plot and characters were unique, fun, engaging, and entertaining, and I loved every moment from beginning to end. Leo and LuLu were delightful, and it was an absolute pleasure to go on their journey with them. I loved reading the book from both Leo and LuLu’s point of view, and all of their witty and playful banter and interactions with each other. Birthday Suit also had the perfect balance of lightheartedness and serious emotions without being too heavy. Lauren Blakely definitely knows how to write romantic comedy gold, and I was ecstatic with the happily ever after she gave Leo and LuLu. It was everything I hoped would happen for them, and I couldn’t have been more pleased.
Birthday Suit was another fun, sexy, lighthearted rom-com hit from Lauren Blakely, and I would HIGHLY recommend Leo and LuLu’s story! Lauren Blakely has never failed to bring the heat, humor, and swoon factor, and I can’t wait to devour more of her future releases!

5 STARS
“This touching tale kept me invested from start to finish. It made me feel many things, sad, happy, hopeful and… hungry. I also enjoyed the colorful support characters and hope I’ll be getting to know some of them better in a future book.”
~ Rosa Sharon, iScream Books Blog

Excerpt
~LEO~
Let’s get one thing out of the way real fast. Regret is a waste of time. I don’t believe in it—never have, never will. I try to live my life without that useless emotion.
You know those articles where the journalist asks old people what they would have done differently, and they list all sorts of stuff—be a better friend, call your mom, tell the woman you love her? You don’t want to be that person.
There’s a simple way to avoid it.
Do the good shit now.
Say yes to that crazy job offer, ask out the girl who’s out of your league, climb the mountain and kiss the sky.
You’ll thank yourself later.
But the flip side of that kind of life is this: you need some rules. A few basic guidelines to follow to navigate the potholes.
Over the years I’ve assembled my top picks. Some from experience, some from listening to others.
Allow me to share my hard-won wisdom.
- If you have to sniff the food in your fridge to decide if you can eat it, just toss it. You’ll be glad you did tomorrow.
- You can tell everything you need to know about a person by how he or she treats the waiter.
- Turn down that last tequila shot. Trust me on this one.
- If your woman sends you to the store to pick up something, get that something, not another version you think is better. Her version is always the right one.
- You can’t put your foot in your mouth if it’s closed.
- No dude ever gets in trouble while cleaning the kitchen.
- Don’t live to work; work to live.
- If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.
- Don’t get a tattoo that’s longer than your dick.
- Men should never wear black jeans.
That’s my list and I’m sticking to it. Those mantras have served me well. They’ve made me the man I am today—successful, wise, and satisfied.
There’s one more though. An addendum, if you will. The postscript you need to achieve a life well-lived. This ought to be so damn easy that no one makes this mistake.
Gather close.
Write it down.
Follow this one to the motherfucking letter.
No matter what, don’t fall in love with your best friend’s girl.
Too bad that ship sailed long ago for me.
A Fabulous Birthday Present for You!
Let’s celebrate the release of BIRTHDAY SUIT
with the cupcake of the month club from Wicked Good Cupcakes and a Subscription to Audible all wrapped up in a Michael Kors Handbag ($500 value)!
