He’ll teach her to be bad.

The new girl next door? She’s adorable, but totally off-limits. I don’t do commitment—been there, done that, got the broken heart—and sweet-as-pie Becca is too close to girlfriend material.

But she asks me to help her find her naughty side, and I’m the perfect guy for the job. She wants to take some risks and face her fears, and I have all kinds of ideas. I just need to keep my d*ck—and my heart—out of it.

After all, we’re just two friends having fun. What could possibly go wrong?

Suddenly single, and on my own in a new town, I decide it’s time to stop being so predictable. I’m tired of being the good girl. And who better to help me out of my shell than my new neighbor, Lucas?

Sure, he’s sexy as sin. And as our adventures in naughtiness escalate, my lady parts are not complaining.

We agreed to stay just friends. We wouldn’t let this get complicated. But Lucas is kind of amazing. And the more time we spend together, the more my heart wants things he can’t give.

Good Girl Next Door was previously titled Could Be the One.

I never want to leave Jetty Beach! Ava Erickson and Sebastian York are wonderful as good girl Becca and commitment-shy Lucas. They both transitioned to other characters with ease and made this book a very enjoyable listen.

I loved the different things Lucas came up with to help get Becca out of her shell. As he says a variety of times, it isn't that she couldn't do something - she just needed someone to believe in her. He helped build her confidence. She blossomed throughout this book, and she brought out the best in Lucas as well. Their friendship transitioning into something more was just one of many things that made this a wonderful read.

This is a steamy, fun rom com that is perfect when you want low-angst and a great story!

Good girl gone naughty!

This one was so good, gripped me right from the start. Becca is the sweet, innocent girl next door with a naughty streak just waiting to break free is she can get over her fear. When her boyfriend of four years dumps her when she is expecting a ring, she has had enough of the way her life is going and decides it’s time to do the unexpected. She moves to Jetty Beach to be close to her friend Juliet and start over. Her new neighbor, Lucas, is hot and the perfect guy to help her break out of her shell.
Lucas is emotionally and relationship constipated. He is all about casual sex and being single. Never putting himself out there to get hurt. Never being serious. Til Becca. They start out as friends and really build on that. He gets Becca to step out of her shell with different adventures, from karaoke, to surfing, to getting high (hey it’s legal in the good ol Pacific Northwest), and everything in between. When Lucas gets the idea that it’s time to dirty Becca up in bed. Of course, this is all a recipe for disaster…these two have great chemistry and so much passion. Their emotions continue to grow, even tho they both stick their heads in the sand. Til they are confronted with their past relationships and hurts and forced to look at what they have.
These two are great together. The friendship they built is a very strong foundation when they add sex. Their chemistry is truly off the charts. They are sexy and sweet together. Their adventures are fun and interesting. These two are everything you want in a relationship. The path they take to get to their HEA is fun, even if a bit rocky at times. I laughed with these two and had a blast. Claire Kingsley as always writes a wonderfully, sweet and adorable romance with a sexy, broody playboy and the sweet and naughty girl next door that captures his heart.
The narrators do an amazing job bringing these two to life, they give such a wonderfully sexy and lively performance.

After getting dumped instead of engaged, Becca needs a change of scenery pronto and moves to Jetty Beach, where her bestie Juliet has relocated. Luckily for Becca, Finn's pal, Lucas, has a vacancy in the building he owns. They hit it off when they cross paths (again, having briefly met before), and strike up a friendship. When Becca decides it's time to lighten up her play-it-safe, good-girl, Sandy-from-Grease ways, Lucas is all too happy to oblige in corrupting her... and it doesn't take long before friendly adventures like karaoke and surfing become adventures of the friends-with-benefits sort.

Naturally, feelings get involved despite both agreeing that their sexcapades would come with no strings attached. I love the player-falls-in-love-without-even-realizing-it trope, and Claire does it well. Lucas' determination to not let himself be vulnerable ever again is totally relatable, and I felt every ache and pain and awkward moment that Becca went through. I was so cheering for these two to work out their own issues and find their way back to each other! And the twist with Becca's ex-boyfriend? Didn't see that one coming!

Narrators Sebastian York and Ava Erickson are ON FIRE in this story! I coincidentally have listened to a few books in a row with this same pairing and I just adore the combination of SebYo and Ava. They each brought a very nuanced performance to Lucas and Becca’s story, and it was a delight listening to them!

I received a complimentary copy and voluntarily left a review.

See ya, Sandy!

Cute story, Of a good girl kind of meats bad boy. Learns to live in a room and be around grown up. Dad boy of course gets tamed so to speak. I loved Ava and Sebastian they certainly know how to bring a story to life. To me listening to Sebastian's like comfort food. You just love it.

Amazing narrators! They both were perfect for the parts and really brought the chara9 to life. It has been a long time since I originally read this series but the audible made it even better. Sweet and innocent Becca who needed someone to bring her out of her shell and to teach her to allow herself to just let go and take chances and that's exactly what Lucas has done for her. Both still dealing with heartbreak they needed the other to put them back together. This was a fun story with a ton of chemistry and sparks. I'm a huge fan of the sweet hero who isn't all broody and angry! Great book and I'm so looking forward to the next book coming out on audible.
