No. Just no. As a woman and a professional matchmaker, I can’t let Dylan Parker run this ad. He’s the catch of all catches. That’s why his sister has asked me to help her ridiculously good-looking, insanely rich, but socially clueless brother find a woman. As a broker of happily ever afters, I’m known as the Stud Finder since I make a great living pairing wildly successful women with men who won’t fleece them but will adore them. After all, what woman in her right mind wouldn’t fall in love with Dylan?I mean, besides me. It totally won’t be me.
Stud Finder by Lauren Blakely, a 1001 Dark Nights novella was the perfect RomCom listen. Narrated by Jesse Metcalfe and Grace Grant I laughed at this quirky, sexy and thoroughly entertaining listen.
So Evie is a professional matchmaker, and her best friend’s brother becomes her client after his debacle attempting to use a fashionable and trendy online service. Dylan Parker is a sexy tech geek who prefers conducting everything online unless its visiting local taco dives.
This was such a fun story that begins with Evie interviewing him several times, some of which include homework, as she prepares his profile to find his match. I loved the subtle chemistry at the beginning that slowly built as the two chatted and moved on to spicy and heated. If you are looking for a totally feel-good contemporary romance with moments of humor, delightful banter and a little snark you’ll love Stud Finder.
Jesse Metcalfe was a new to me narrator and one I enjoyed. Grace Grant is established and always enjoyable. Together they made Dylan and Evie come to life and worked perfectly in this dual POV story.
3 Reasons to Listen to Stud Finder:
- Adorkable (yeah its a word, a combo of adorable and deliciously dorky)
- Feel Good Romance that will leave you grinning
- Excellent narrator combo brought characters to life and enhanced the tale.
At just under 3 hours, Stud Finder, is the perfect listen for a late night treat. Just add wine and a few truffles. You’ll be smiling the whole time.

I am pretty sure that I would like this one. I haven’t listened to either of these narrators but I always like to try out new ones. I need to pick up a Blakely book very soon. I will keep this one in mind for when I am looking for a shorter listen.
Kimberly
Sometimes a short listen is perfect.
Debbie Haupt
OMG so good. Thanks Kim 🙂
Kimberly
Agreed!
Lorna
I didn’t know they did. You can only have ten out at a time. If you try to go over that amount then you have to put one back. I put a bunch on my wish list today when Audible sent the email with the fifty romance books you have to listen to. So far I am finding all kinds I wanted to listen to. A lot of the series I reviewed today is on there, a lot of Mageri including Closer, Nalini Singh. I was surprised at all the ones I’ve been wanting to read. So far it’s been well worth it.

I am embarrassed to say I am practically an audio virgin but you make seem so attractive each time.I read an audio review. Can a read one book and listen to another at the same time and also write? I think I know the answer. ):
Kimberly
Ha, while I can do mundane chores and even data entry while listening, I am not sure I could write. It sure makes folding laundry fun though 🙂
Lorna
I always love Blakely’s books but I sure didn’t know this was on the romance part of Audible. I’m on my way to add this to my library-thank you!
Kimberly
Sweet. Yes, it is. Enjoy my friend!
Lorna
I went to buy it and it no longer was available on the romance part
Kimberly
That sucks. I haven’t tried it yet. Do they rotate books? That would make me crazy.

Yes… adorkable IS a word! I will totally back you on that one. I also think that is the main reason I want to read this one. Sounds like a good one for me. Brilly review.

Thank you. I think it needs to be added to the dictionary 🙂
Mary
This sounds really cute. You have me hooked with “”Adorkable (yeah its a word, a combo of adorable and deliciously dorky)”” LOVE it! Hahahaha I have to use that sometime. I like that this is a shorter audiobook. Sometimes I just want a quicker story.
Kimberly
The nice thing about Blakely is that she gives you the full story even if its a novella. I hope you decide to grab it 🙂

I have never listened to audiobooks so far. This one seems like a good one to begin with 😉
Kimberly
Yes. Just use headphones or be home alone. I remember my first audio with a sex scene. I turned beet red. It is very different from reading it.
