About this listen
From New York Times best-selling author Lexi Ryan comes a sexy new stand-alone romance about a woman who’d do anything to have a baby and the man who'd do anything to have her.
For my 30th birthday, I'm giving myself the one thing I want most: a baby. Sure, this would be easier if I had a husband - or even a boyfriend - but I refuse to be thwarted by minor details.
When I drunkenly confess my plans to my friends, they convince me to ask Jake Jackson for help. Jake, the best friend who's been there for me through thick and thin. Jake, who also happens to be smart, funny, ridiculously good looking, and the winner of all the genetic lotteries.
So when Jake takes me up on my request - with the stipulation that we get the job done the old-fashioned way - I'd be a fool to decline.
The only problem? I don't know if I can separate sex from all the things I feel for this amazing man. If I can't keep my heart under lock and key, I risk losing the relationship I need the most.
Jake has his own reasons for granting my baby wish. But when I discover his secrets, it could mean the end of us. I have to choose - run or stay and fight for love.
Fall for the boys of Jackson Harbor in Lexi Ryan's sexy new contemporary romance series. These books can all be listened to as stand-alones, but you'll enjoy listening to them as a series!

Story
The first time I saw Brinley Knox, she was crying, draped in a ridiculous pink tulle dress for her sweet 16, and cursing the boy who’d broken her heart. I was the hired help, a teenage charity case. She was the daughter of the wealthiest family in Orchid Valley. I knew a girl like Brinley was off-limits. That didn’t stop me from kissing her. Or from promising that if she were ever mine, I’d never let her go.

The last thing I remember is having drinks at Brady's and trying to avoid eye-contact with my life-long crush - the gorgeous, unattainable Maximilian Hallowell. They tell me that was a year ago, but I have no memories of anything since then. What I do have is this ring on my finger that Max says he gave me, and this much-thinner body I've dreamed of most of my life. Aside from a case of retrograde amnesia, everything seems almost... perfect.

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

Someone is stalking Audrey Young. And she has no idea why. Complicating matters is her landlord and new neighbor, Josiah Haven. She doesn’t usually go for the big, surly lumberjack type. But there’s something about that broody man. He intimidates her a little, but she kind of likes it. She could totally handle the mess that is her life, except the strange feeling of being watched is just the beginning. Next thing Audrey knows, she’s a target, and she doesn’t know who’s behind it or why. For Josiah Haven, none of that makes her his problem.

I touched her confectionary creation, and she told me off. Slapping my hands and cursing in her own unique fashion. No one talked to me that way. I liked it. I liked her cake even more. So, I took her to Italy to bake for me. I should have asked her first, but I had a feeling she'd say no. But I brought her cat, so that should count for something.

The hurdles for best friends to lovers
Jackson and Ava have been best friends since grade school. They’ve been through lots of trials together...including her divorce. Now Ava’s biological clock is ticking and she wants to go to a sperm bank...that is until Jake agrees to be her sperm donor but the old fashioned way. Jake has loved Ava forever and is using this opportunity to make her see the truth. But there are secrets that can destroy their friendship...what will Ava do?
As I’ve said before, I love this series, however, I was having a difficult time liking Ava. Ava was too insecure and selfish for a 30yo. That said, glad that she and Jake got their HEA.

Slow burn
Narration was wonderful. It’s a shame the story did not meet expectations. The whole thing was much ado about nothing. If real people go back and forth, do or not do as much as this book, no one would have a family. Two steps forward, three back. I could almost predict what was going to happen. I do not recommend this one. The narration was great. I will look for these narrators. I just won’t look for this author.

My Thoughts on Straight Up Love
I feel as though I spent most of this book torn between which of the main characters I felt worse for. There ended up being a little more angst to the story then I was expecting, and yet it was a book I could easily pick back up when life forced me to tear myself away. I personally ended up being a huge fan of Jake. Even in his mistakes he ultimately put the person he loved first. There were moments when I'll admit I was frustrated and wanted to throw my kindle. Jake was the kind of guy who deserves to be fought for. Not enough of that happened for my liking. And still this story had me riveted. Just goes to show what a good author Lexi Ryan is.
There was one secondary character that really had me intrigued by the end of the book. I need the next one to be here already.
The narrators for the audiobook did a great job. I liked both their voices and feel like they did a good job with all the different characters as well as showing the necessary emotion. I would absolutely enjoy listening to them again.

LOVED Jake, struggled with Ava!!!
So my headline really says it all... I loved the idea of this story and most of the characters in it. Jake was completely charming and I could not get enough of him. He was the best friend to Ava but he was totally in love with her and wanted her so badly... even enough to give her a baby. My issues were really with a bit too much IMO. I love me an angsty, friends to lovers story! This just seemed a bit heavier in the angst department than was necessary.
Strait Up Love has the same narrators as the first audiobook and they did another fabulous job. Summer Roberts has sweet and soft southern voice. Tyler Donne is also a delightful narrator. They certainly play the southern characters very well!!

Fantastic Story & Narration🎧 More Jackson💘Love💘
Lexi Ryan pens another awesome “Boys of Jackson Harbor” novel. I am loving this series, the books are well written with interesting storylines that are captivating from start to end. This is Jake and Ava’s story and the time line picks up after the 1st book ended. Jake Jackson and Ava have been best friends forever, both harbor deeper feelings but are afraid to act on them because they do not want to jeopardize their friendship. Jake runs Jackson’s Brews, he loves to cook and create different types of ale. In addition to her teaching job and running the theater club Ava works a few nights at the bar too. She enjoys spending time with Jake. When Ava comes up with a plan to have a baby her friends convince her to ask Jake for his sperm instead of going to the sperm bank. Jake comes up with his own proposition. This is a great friends to lovers romance, it is well plotted with plenty of drama, angst, some twists and a whole lot of emotions leading up to a great romance. Lexi Ryan, thank you for another great story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
I listened to the Audible edition, narrated by the talented Sumer Roberts and Tyler Donne. They are versatile voice artists who continue to bring these character to life, giving each their own voice and personality. You could hear how much heart they put into their work as they capture and project the characters emotions into their performance. They are entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another great listen🎧

#AudiobookObsession
Different couple in the series, but even better than the first one IMHO!! I love how Ms. Roberts and Mr. Donne bring these awesome characters to life. The scope of the emotions can really be felt and it felt like I was a part of the story. I think the only thing wrong is the length of the story. I wanted it to be longer lol!!!!
