Blurb: I was only trying to help a friend. I swear. I was legit asking for a friend who was finally ready to date again.
I knew what she wanted in a man -- smart, funny, ambitious, well-read (no, the sports section doesn't count), and plays a wicked game of badminton.
So I did what any good friend would do. Posted it for her. It seemed like a good idea at the time — I’d weed through the candidates, and bring her my top picks.
But then he responded.
Is it wrong to date the guy I screened for my bestie? Not asking for a friend.
   
Excerpt: “No. I was just getting the lowdown on office allergies.” He moves closer, leaning against the bar, looking like a tall drink of man. I break out my mental yardstick. Yup, I’m betting he’s over six feet. I’m going with six foot one. Which might even push him to a fifteen on the goes-to-ten babe-o-meter.
“So you’re on drinks detail,” I say, trying to sound all cool and casual, like I’m not busy sizing him up.
Not consumed with checking out his arms. Not occupied admiring his blue eyes. Not tied up enjoying his smile.
He points his thumb at his sternum. “New guy. That means I fetch all the drinks and buy them too. And you? What put you on errand duty?”
“I made my friend snort her drink out her nose.”
He looks impressed. “You officially have the best reason for being on drink detail.”
I preen, enjoying his praise. “Why, thank you. I was hoping to win that contest.”
“What was the snort-inducing remark, may I ask?”
Flashing back, I recall the culprit—my “you need V-time” comment to Peyton—but that’s too personal to share. I give him another one. “I referred to her ex-fiancé by his proper name.”
Clark Kent gives me a curious look. “Is his proper name amusing?”
“Of course. It’s Richard Cranium,” I say, and I wait. Will he pass the test?

My Review
 5 Stars
ASKING FOR A FRIEND by Lauren Blakely is the First book in the Boyfriend Material Series.  This is the story of Amy Summers and Linc Silvers. 
Linc has moved into town and taken the Senior Editor Job where Amy works as the Junior Editor.  Linc is working to start fresh in a new town and job so he has no plans to get involved with a co-worker.  With that mind set is starting to leave him once he spots Amy.  Amy is nerdy so this editorial job is up her alley and she wants a promotion that may come her way.  So Amy isn't going to ruin any chances she has by getting involved with a co-worker but then the new guy walks in, Linc.  Working to stay strong she goes forward to look into helping her friend Peyton with finding someone.  This leads her to online where she gets a hit by someone who seems perfect...for her.  Linc working to resit the Amy pull has him going online.
This was a fun hot read.  Looking forward to more books in the series.
