I believe that title was given to an adaptation of melt for him. I think it was on some kind of app platform. Maybe a mobile gaming platform? I'm honestly not sure. But some mobile platform adapted the melt for him story and changed the title to burning for my brother's best friend.

That's a great question and I'm so happy that you like The Best Men so much! We did not split the book by character. We each worked on each character, and we would usually take a chapter at a time and then pass it back-and-forth so that at the end it felt like one blended voice!

Hi! This might help! It's the closest I have to this: https://laurenblakely.com/readingorde...

That is such a great question! And I haven't thought about those characters in a long time! You are correct though- Cam and Tess do not have a story

I think Jason appears as TJ's friend I. Hopelessly Bromantic and then Jason kicks off the Winner series in The Boyfriend comeback

Their names do have a similar feel lol! I don't have any mm romances planned at the moment. But I remain open to any ideas that the Muses might bring me!

Hello Stephanie! Thank you so much! I'm so happy that you enjoyed My Favorite Holidate! I am thrilled to hear that. William has a short story called I Said Someday. It's included as a bonus at the end of Here Comes My Man. His love interest is Christian. As for Sebastian, unfortunately, even though I had really wanted to come up with a great story for Sebastian and Bryan in Heart Throb nothing ever came to me to do their story justice! I tried really hard to find a great romance for them, but when it didn't come to me, I wrote Tanner and Luke's romance in Manhandled instead! And I feel confident that Sebastian and Bryan are living their best life together already! Let me know if you have checked out Manhandled!

hi Lindsay! I'm so happy you loved Wilder and Fable's romance! Charlotte and Leo appear for the first time in their books so you actually haven't missed anything - They do not have a separate romance!
Lauren Blakely
Hello! Great question! They do not have a book though! So you didn't miss anything!
Lauren Blakely
Hello! There is an epilogue and my so-called love life written from the perspective of the billionaire who Amy has the subplot Romance with! That's the only place where her romance appears. Within that story!

Hi Crystine! I don't have any planned at the moment but if inspiration strikes me I will definitely write one again!

My all-time favorite M/M book is The Best Men. You and Sarina are a magical combination.

That's a great question! And while I understand the desire to start at the beginning, I actually think it'll be more enjoyable for you to start with my more recent books. They're just better in my opinion! I would actually start with My So Called Love Life, which will take you through the How to Date series. If you like that go back to The Virgin Next Door. You might also like the Virgin Society series. Let me know if you make it through all of those and then I'll give you some more recommendations!

Hello! It was turned into a novella in My Single-Versary!

Hello! I don't have any plans to write a book for Olive but she has a short story called bedroom deals. That is the bonus scene that you can get at the end of a wild card. Kiss!
Lauren Blakely
Hello! I'm currently working on that and it's nowhere close to complete but I've been able to get through the last several releases so here it is if you want to check it out https://laurenblakely.com/friendsandf...

Thank you so much for your note! I love that you asked about Erik! You're not the only one who has! But I have not written a book about him!
Lauren Blakely
Hello! Great observation! At the time I was leaving it open ended in case there was going to be a continuation of the series. But we decided it was best to end on that story!
Lauren Blakely
I do both! Sometimes a side character inspires me as I write! Sometimes I know in advance who the heroes and heroines will be! So glad you love my audios!

I love all your books and sometimes I don't even read the blurb. Or forget what it says and just find one I haven't read because I know it is going to
I love all your books and sometimes I don't even read the blurb. Or forget what it says and just find one I haven't read because I know it is going to be amazing! Thank you for writing your books!
