About this listen
If I'm as straight as I always thought, why does kissing my best friend feel so right?
Zach has been my ride-or-die since we were nine. Business partners, roommates, best friends... we do everything together. But the last thing either of us expected was to be staring 40 in the face just as single as we both were when we made a silly, drunken marriage pact 20 years ago.
The problem?
Zach is gay...and, well, I’m not.
Under pressure from family, that pact comes rushing back, and I lock us into a fake engagement. But is it possible some part of me wants it to be real?
Convincing Zach I’m legit is another story. With each passing day, I wonder if my feelings of affection for my best friend can morph into the love I desperately want in my life. Something in Zach’s eyes tells me we can have it all if we just try.
It may have taken me a lifetime to see Zach with new eyes, but with every touch and discovery, it’s been worth the wait. On the edge of Dirty Forty, it’s time to go for it.
All I have to do is convince Zach it’s real.
Dirty Forty is a best-friends-to-lovers, marriage pact, demi/bisexual awakening featuring 30 years of pining, a fake engagement, curious kisses, and two guys finally embracing what’s always been in front of them.

Story
He’s the hottest man I’ve ever seen. I’m shy, not hot, and eating entirely too many pastries every day just to see my crush. It’s ridiculous to pine for a guy so far out of my league, but here we are. When I confide in my friend about my crush, he pumps me up, giving me the courage to find out if this is a passing infatuation or the beginning of something more. All I have to do is ask Wyatt to Date Me.

My loser high school friend never deserved him anyway. If I’d had the chance, I would have locked Remy down years ago. Only, when the party leads to a drunken kiss, going on their honeymoon, and sharing their marital bed, I have to say, I’m not entirely sad that their wedding went up in flames.

Story
When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

Being invited to my cousin’s wedding really shouldn’t be a big deal except, oh yeah, I haven't seen my family for a decade. My parents turned their backs on me, and I’ve done everything since to become successful and show them what they've lost. Only it’s kinda hard to be a success when you’re a walking trainwreck.

Charles Preston Carmichael is the most infuriating man I've ever met. I want to sock the golden boy of college hockey right in the mouth. He enjoys telling me everything I'm messing up—publicly. And since he's my roommate for the next year, I can't avoid him. Yet there's something about him that makes me watch him. Something dark. A secret I want to uncover. When he returns from a weekend away, broken and haunted, I can't keep my distance anymore. He needs someone, and I'll be damned if it's not me.

I have to stop replaying the one night I spent with my rival. Trouble is, that white-hot encounter with the other quarterback answered a lot of questions I’ve had about myself, but it also led me into this mess where he hates me. I never showed up for our second date. Since, well, life happened, and the worst part is he’ll never know how much that night meant to me.

Payne. In search of: Room to rent. Must ignore the patheticness of a 40-year-old roommate. Preferably dirt cheap as funds are tight (nonexistent). There’s nothing sadder than moving back to my hometown newly divorced, homeless, and lost for what my next move is. When my little brother’s best friend offers me a place to stay in exchange for menial duties, I swallow my pride and jump at the offer. I need this. I also need Beau to wear a shirt. And ditch the gray sweatpants. And not leave his door ajar when he’s in compromising positions...

Milo. Unusual. Quirky. Different. I’ve heard it all. I’ve accepted I’m not for everyone. When I find out I inherited a bookstore and apartment on a small East Coast island, I jump at the chance for a new life. Turns out I’ve also inherited a sexy, tattooed guy who not only rents the space next to my store but my apartment too. Gideon. I wasn’t looking for a roommate, but it’s not like I can stay at Milo’s place while he’s banished to a hotel. According to Milo, we’re bestie goals. And if he doesn’t wear pants at home, who am I to complain?

I avoid him. Every time Kepler Quinn steps into a room, I get the hell out. He does...something to me. When those discerning gray eyes flick toward me, his brow rising in a silent greeting, there’s a tightening of my abs. A zapping hum quivering low along my spine. There are about a million reasons it shouldn’t be what the little voice in the back of my head insists...a crush. Because Kepler isn’t just some random guy. He’s my brother’s best friend. He’s also my TA for physics this semester. And also...a guy.

It started out as a little fun. When there was a man in my building on a hookup app, why not message him? Only we didn’t meet. We just texted - one night after the other, after the other. GoodWithHisHands was the perfect escape from my life, where pressure was always on my shoulders: my father’s expectations, the worry about my sister, Maddy, getting sick again, and her ex-husband, Ryder Lynwood, suddenly back and volunteering at the same hospital as me. I like talking to him, the same way I enjoy chatting with GoodWithHisHands. They weren’t supposed to be the same person.

Between running a garage full of beefed-up gear-head mechanics and bailing my idiot brother out of trouble every other week, the last thing I have time for is a relationship. I’ve tried it too many times, and the ridiculous reasons I always find to end it have become a running joke around the garage. But I’ve learned my lesson. No. More. Boyfriends. I don’t care how many times Porter falls asleep drunk in my bed or how cute he looks covered in oil smears while I teach him how to fix up the vintage car he has rusting away in his garage; I’m not going to fall for him.

At least, I think I’m not until I come face-to-face with the most beautiful human I’ve ever seen.

Liked this story and the narration. A little slow at time because not much happens, but I was in the mood for little drama and angst so it the spot. Zach annoyed me at times too - but just a little bit.

Fun Fluffy Fake Fiance
Dominic and Zach are housemates, business partners and best friends since 3rd grade. Their family is led to believe they are engaged to be married. The problem is that Dominic is straight and the two men are only friends. What if they both secretly want the lie to be true?
This is my first time hearing Ms Monroe’s writing. If you choose this book, expect it to be a cute fluffy story that takes zero brain cells to read. Also, expect it to be hot. The dialog was unrealistic but not cringeworthy. Also, the characters asked each other questions they would obviously know the answer to since they live together and are BFFs.
The two narrators voices and speech were alike and meshed well. Mr DiCosimo’s audio sounded a bit like it was recorded in a tin can (needed post production work).

Update: After listening to other great books by this author, I revisited this one. I have to change this from 3 stars to 5. This is because I have changed my mind and this book is now a “comfort read” book I am listening to over and over.

Good story. Good narration.
I picked this audiobook up because it was on sale. I hadn't read anything by Mia Monroe before, and I am really glad I snagged this book.
Dominic and Zach are fun to get to know. Their interactions have that soothing and comfortable feeling that you get from being around people who truly enjoy each other's company.
This was one of the rare times I feel like the author had a firm understanding of demisexuality. It's usually portrayed as 'gay for you' and even more often, just mistaken as that trope. Since I am demisexual, I appreciate it when the author obviously does their research. There were a few moments of over explaining sexuality that didn't entirely feel natural to the story, but I prefer that over inaccurate info. Honestly, I wanted to jump up and say, " yes, that's what it's like!", for a good portion of this book.
Overall a very sweet and enjoyable read with great narration.

I Love Everything About This Book!
This book is everything I wanted and more! Depth of characters, friends to lovers, realistic storyline, no stupid cliché cheating, and exquisite duel narration. Can't wait for more in this series. Highly recommend!

Friends til the end
I love a good Friends to lovers romance and surely this one did Not disappoint!
The sweetness, the caring, the 'let's be sure' of everything as the story rolls along. Everyone is so excepting, as it should be in the real world but sadly is not. This story is perfect. Mia Monroe, you have a soft heart and a sensual way with words. I'm on the hunt for more of your work!
As always, Tim and Liam bring the characters to life in a way the listeners love. I wouldn't have picked better narrators to do this book.
on to the next!

Sweet story
This was such a sweet friends to lovers story and Tim Paige and Liam Dicosimo provided such a vulnerability with the characters they performed.
