Publisher's summary

Pop quiz: You just banged a rock star you vowed to loathe until the end of time. What’s next?

Hint: You don’t agree to be his fake girlfriend. And you certainly don’t fall in love…

Once upon a time, Cutter Comstock was the hot older boy who tormented me in high school. Fast forward 13 years and I find myself in his bed, riding him like the last stud at the sex rodeo.

Needless to say, mistakes have been made.

But as a chef, I turn food flops around all the time. I can turn this around, too. All I have to do is ignore the insufferably gorgeous (and generally insufferable) Cutter until he goes on tour.

Too bad my nemesis has other plans.

Cutter wants my help winning back the one who got away and he knows just the bait to dangle - the chance to open my own restaurant in a dream location.

I can pull off pretending to be the devil’s devoted girlfriend in order to make my dreams come true. Right??

But what happens when my dreams start to include the clever, funny, unexpectedly sweet man Cutter has become?

most of book is funny

narration is good but male was very "breathy" don't know how else to say it. smiled/laughed through much of story, first half certainly. H was a little dense, took him awhile to get a clue. yes, worth the credit. have listened to it twice already.
spoilers!!! Theodora is a chef with an awful job. Cutter is a rockstar. they grew up together hating on each other but belonging to the same friend group. they have one drunkin night together and she goes right back to hating him. him, not so much. he bribes/blackmails her into pretend dating him to convince his ex that he's transformed. they soon lust each other. very cute story

Amazing

Excellent story.
Excellent soothing voices.
Swoon worthy epilogue.

Cutter and Theo 😘😘😘😘

Loved Cutter and Theo's story. Enemies to Lovers is one of my favorite tropes. This one had all the feels. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Chock full of all the good stuff!!

This book is fantastic! Funny, charming and full of shenanigans, of course, Theo & Cutter's journey will entertain you from the get-go. Incredible and dynamic chemistry will keep these frenemies from staying that way for too long. I love their relationship and watching it develop into the greatest love is so very special. And yes, as Cutter realizes his true feelings for Theo, he will make you swoon! Lili's brand of humor is always right up my alley. I just adore the internal dialogue the characters have with themselves! I laughed out loud so often! Jason Clarke as Cutter (sigh-what a voice he has) and Lili herself as Theo (love her voice too), were absolutely AMAZING!!!! They really brought Theo and Cutter to life in the best of ways!! Great story, great characters! Another winner for Lili Valente!

A Real Treat

I adore Lili Valente and all of her books, and the Bangover series has been a true delight. Lili's great at writing characters that are more than meets the eye, and the boys of Lips On Fire are no exception. Take Cutter Comstock, for instance. He's living the rockstar life, with his dirty mouth, his devil may care approach to love, and his fear of all things commitment. But, wait, could there be some romance under that bad boy exterior? Yep, and who'd have thought that this love 'em and leave 'em heartbreaker would want to ever settle down? Enter Theo Devi, Cutter's longtime nemesis. She wants something, and so does he, so why not scratch each other's backs to get it? Oh, when will they ever learn...

I was already way in love with Cutter Comstock when I started this book. He's stood disdainfully by while his bandmates have found true love, but, him, well, he's the holdout. Or is he? When the one that got away suddenly becomes available, Cutter's going to have to prove that he's the keeping kind. And who better to help him out than Theo. She can help give him the image that he needs to win another lady's heart, and, in return, Cutter will help her achieve her dream of owning her own restaurant. What could possibly go wrong?

This story, like the others in the series, had my heart from the get-go. Cutter and Theo are hardly a match made in heaven, at least until they open their eyes and see what they have in each other. Lili's sure to deliver a HEA, and these two surely deserve it. With all the stock Lili sass, sizzle, and snark, BANG ON LOOSELY hit all the marks for me. Jason Clarke and Lili Valente herself did a, um, bang-up job with the narration, making a fun, sexy, and sweet story even better. This and all the other books in the Bangover series are pure entertainment, and must-listens (and reads!), so make room on your TBH (to be heard) and enjoy. ❤️

A fun and action packed enemies to lovers story

This series is so much fun. I am loving the stories of the Lips On Fire band and their HEAs. This is a fun enemies to lovers with some action and drama and a fake relationship. I felt all the feelings with Theo and Cutter and the narration by Jason Clarke and Lili Valente really drew me into the story. Though Jason's french at the end I could have done without, everything else from him was absolutely stellar. I recommend you read the other books first, but this can be read as a stand alone.

Cute romance about 2 frenemies who fall for each other

3rd in the series about rock band guys falling for old friends. This one has a subplot where Cutter bribes chef Theo to pretend to be his girlfriend in and attempt to get close with an ex- girlfriends going through a divorce. Of course there also happens to be this confusing made chemistry between Theo and Cutter which they resist while getting to truly know each other as their friendships turns to love. Good narration from both Jason Clarke and Lili Valente who is also the author.

I love Jason and Lili together!

Bang on Loosely is Lili Valente's newest standalone in the Bangover series. Lili always knows how to make me laugh and swoon! I love a good enemies to lovers with a side of fake girlfriend romance and Theo and Cutter are the perfect pair. They shared a drunken night months ago and now Cutter is back in town and needs Theo's help to win back the woman who got away. Theo is a chef who loves food but not her job. Cutter offers her the chance to have her own restaurant in exchange for pretending to be his girlfriend. What could happen? A few stolen kisses, touches and a sexy night spent between the sheets. Then what? Can Theo really watch him walk away after it's over? Will Cutter finally see what's right in front of him? I have been waiting for this story for a long time! I love Theo and her take no crap attitude! And Cutter…yummy! He's cocky, but swoony and his mouth is dirty! Yes, please!

Audio: I love Jason Clarke and Lili Valente together. Their voices and enthusiasm for these characters was a perfect match. Jason's deep, sexy voice and Lili's sultry, sweet one. They were the perfect Theo and Cutter!

Brilliant narration and a great romcom!

Cutter and Theo are both such funny characters. They are well-written, no-holds-barred and totally unapologetic in their beliefs. What's amazing is how quickly Cutter goes from thinking he wants his old love to realizing that he's put her on a pedestal and he really, really wants the sassy, chatty, challenging lady that accepts him for who he is even though she pretends she doesn't like him. Their enemies-to-lovers/fake romance story is fun and fast-paced.

As for narration, Lili Valente and Jason Clarke are amazing! I always love their narration, and they do not disappoint. You can hear the humor in Jason Clarke's delivery, so he drops every snarky line from Cutter just as you expect. Phenomenal.
