That was a hot and fun read. I loved the coach trope, between Oaklyn and Camden.

The narrator of this book was amazing. I 100% would recommend this book to everyone

I’m a new fan of author Marni Mann, and I loved this stand-alone romance! It’s the fifth book in the Dalton Family series, and I can’t wait to devour them all.

I listened to the audiobook format, and loved the narration, which really added to the reading experience.

WHAT TO EXPECT
-friends to lovers
-best friend’s brother
-slow burn

*many thanks to Dreamscape Media and Netgalley for the gifted copy for review

The Bachelor by Marni Mann is the fifth book in the Dalton Family series. It is a standalone romance novel featuring Camden Dalton, a notorious bachelor, and Oaklyn, his best friend's twin sister.

The Bachelor is a spicy, heartwarming romance novel. Camden and Oaklyn have great chemistry, and their relationship is both passionate and playful. The supporting cast of characters is also well-developed and engaging.

Overall, The Bachelor is a great read for fans of romance novels.If you're a fan of romance novels, I highly recommend checking out The Bachelor.

I am absolutely obsessed with Marty Man and this book/audio was so freaking good. I never really grabbed for friends to lover tropes, but this one takes the cake. Especially when it’s best friends brother. Being able to have Camden in my ear was absolutely everything. His sultry voice and stern demeanor. I ate it up. This book was definitely more on the slow burn side, which is not typical for Marni’s books. Camden and Oaklyn were an absolute treat. I’m just so sad that this is the final book in the Dalton brother series.

I have listened to other books by this author but none were as captivating as this one. I don't know what it was about this book but I just enjoyed it and couldn't stop listening.

Loved this book 10/10

New author for me. Was pleasantly surprised with how much I truly enjoyed this! Would recommend for anyone wanting to read a romance book that will actually make you feel something

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! No spoilers. Beyond amazing I enjoyed this book so very much. The characters and storyline were fantastic. The ending I did not see coming Could not put down nor did I want to. Truly Amazing and appreciated the whole story. This is going to be a must read for many many readers. Maybe even a book club pick. Our library purchased and our patrons have been checking out and and enjoying the book. I see it is a popular book club choice as well we hope to have more oppurtinies to support authors like them

The chemistry and love from the beginning was off the charts through the whole book!

Camden promised his twin sister that he would never be with her friends and he had to put a wall up. He struggles with this because he is is smitten with Oaklyn and her beauty.

Oaklyn is a virgin and is ready to lose it. She knows that Camden is that man. She’s been in love with him since day one. Camden is hesitant so he says wait a year and if you don’t lose it to offer again. She tells him a year later that’s she’s ready so then he offers 5 sexual lessons. If she passes them and isn’t attached to him, he will take her virginity.
The spice in this book was so good! I listened to this on audio so I think the spice was even better! 🥵🥵

You're in for a steamy treat in Marni Mann's fifth installment of The Dalton Family series, The Bachelor.

Meet Oaklyn, the quintessential good girl and lifelong friend of Camden's sister. She's harbored a secret attraction to Camden for what feels like an eternity.

Camden, the ultimate bachelor with a fear of commitment and an overprotective streak for his sister, initially resists the idea of dating Oaklyn. When Oaklyn boldly suggests she wants him to be her first and teach her how to be seductive, Camden, of course, hesitates.

What I enjoyed most about Oaklyn and Camden was watching them evolve and come into their own as they explored the magnetic chemistry brewing between them. Initially, it was all about the physical attraction, but their connection transcends the purely carnal.

Narrators Ramona Masters and Walker Willilams did a great job bringing Oaklyn and Camden to life.

Such a great read. Honestly in my opinion as a big fan of this author, there really is no wrong choice on which book you pick to read of hers because everything she does is amazing all the books that she has written I have loved. You just can’t go wrong. The stories are great. The plot is great the characters, the development. 10/10 recommend.

Phew....was this one spicy read! Camden was a dirty talking alpha with a soft spot for Oaklyn that he just couldn't ignore. When she approached him about helping to "relieve" her of this nagging problem ....her virginity, his first response was why not but then his brain kicked in almost immediately reminding him that she was seriously off limits. As his sister's best friend, Oaklyn had always been someone Camden was forbidden to get involved with. But Oaklyn makes a good case and Camden is convinced he can scare her away with his rough and aggressive nature. He doesn't count on her giving as good as she gets. Before he knows it, Camden is in way over his head and it's not just his libido on the line, it's his heart.

I loved these two and their back and forth. Camden was a player and Oaklyn was the exact opposite but yet the two of them were perfect for one another and their chemistry was explosive. I loved this book - - it was a great addition to an already satisfying series!

I chose to listen to the audiobook and it was done quite well. The narration worked for me. Of course with the level of dirty talk involved in this book, there were definitely a few times I probably blushed at hearing it read out loud. But it definitely didn't stop me from listening. Nope, I kept on going and relished each moment of it.

Thank you to NetGalley for this audiobook. I voluntarily chose to listen to and review it and the opinions contained within are my own.

The Bachelor
by Marni Mann
Narrated by Ramona Master; Walker Williams

The Bachelor was a fun, steamy listen. If you don't like vivid descriptions of everything sexual, then I would stay away from this one. Though it's Book 5 in a series, it's completely standalone, so you can listen to or read it without missing anything. Camden Dalton has always had a thing for his twin sisters best friend, Oaklyn. She's always been strictly off-limits. That is, until she comes to Camden with a proposal. She wants Camden to teach her everything he knows in one year if she hasn't had sex yet. He agrees.

This was an easy listen. This is more of a sexual romance listen versus an emotional one. It was a fun story; if you like this, you'll surely like the others in the series. The narration was well performed by both narrators.

Thank you to NetGalley, Dreamscape Media and the author for the chance to listen to and review this ARC!

this is the best spicy series.the plot is actually really good and the spice is unmatched. Mann is one of my fav spicy writers! highly recommend.

Holy hotness in a book!!!! Camden & Oaklyn’s story is without a doubt a steamy, seductive story, in all the best ways! Camden is the resident ladies man (to be nice) and Oaklyn on the other had is his sister’s virginal best friend. The attraction between this couple goes back to their teenage years but it takes a promise years later for them to get together. Oaklyn asks Camden, to give her one year to lose her virginity finally or have him take it. Camden does everything in his power to convince Oaklyn this isn’t a good idea, including having lessons, so she doesn’t catch feelings. Ummmm so who doesn’t catch feelings?? It doesn’t take long before everyone around them, except Hannah, can see the love that has already blossomed between these two, even before they make love. A yes I say make live because this man is the swooniest of swoony when it comes to Oaklyn and my goodness how anyone wouldn’t fall, Ill never know!! This story is off the charts seduction & swoon all packaged together!!

Holy hotness!!! Camden and Oaklyn bring the heat in the 5th book of The Dalton series.

Camden has always had a thing for Oaklyn, but stayed away since she was his twin sister's best friend. When Oaklyn comes to him with a proposition that he can't say no to, he knows he is in deep.

Just like all of the books in this series, the heat in this book melts the pages. I loved watching these two fight the attraction, but eventually they can't anymore. The chemistry is hot and real and I loved this book!

The narrators did a great job bringing this story to life. My only complaint is the female narrator made Hannah, Cam's sister, sound very different than the bad @ss that she is, so that was hard for me to listen to, but otherwise, great job!

This was a wonderful forbidden trope, best friends sister! The spicy parts of this one were on point buy there wasn't many spicy parts. The emotional entanglement was beautifully written as her work always is. I love this series of hers!

Book 5 in The Dalton Brothers series and can be read as a standalone. Camden Dalton is something else! This was the final book and it’s dirty, dirty, dirty. Oaklyn and Camden can’t get enough of each other and there’s a lot of encounters. Marni Mann always writes intense, can’t look away moments in her books. And I’m sure anyone who is a fan of hers is going to love this one. This was definitely a more physical than emotional romance and I listened to the audiobook. The narrators were very good and I highly recommend listening to this.
Thanks Dreamscape Media via Netgalley.

Why did I wait so long to pick up one of Marni’s books?!? And of course I start in the middle of a series. I can’t wait to have a chance to get my butt back to the beginning and read more about The Dalton Family.

Best friend’s brother is one of my favorite tropes. I loved Camden and Oakland. From the very beginning I needed their HEA. Oakland has been friends with Camden’s twin sister since they were kids. Hannah warned Camden off of all her friends when they were in high school and he took that to heart. Oakland wants to lose her virginity to him, she’s been in love with him for years. How do they tell Hannah?!

And the best part? NO 3rd act breakup!

I loved the audio of the book, thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for my ALC of this story. The narration was on point. Ramona and Walker were a great pair. If this audio version was this good I can’t wait to try the others in this series in this form.

This was the first book of the series that I read. I really enjoyed all of the spice. I absolutely loved the best friend’s brother trope but I really disliked the virgin aspect and how much it was focused on. It detracted from it for me.

There wasn’t a huge build up of tension we were kind of just thrown in. I usually prefer a build up but it did work in this story. I am definitely curious about the other books in this series.

I listened to this one on audio and would recommend it for sure.

Thank you to NetGalley and they publisher for this arc in exchange for an honest review.
