Marriage: the final frontier. Steven went first. He was kind of our test subject. Like those monkeys that NASA sent off into space in the fifties, all the while knowing they’d never make it back.
And now another poor rocket is ready to launch.
But this isn’t just any posh New York wedding. You’ve seen my friends, you’ve met our families, you know you're in for a treat. Everyone wants their wedding to be memorable. This one’s going to be un-frigging-forgettable.
I choose this audio based on the narrator alone. I had no clue what this short story would be about or that it is part of a series. Holy frigging hilarious! Drew and Kate are attending a wedding of friends. Told in Drew's unapologetic, witty, one-liner, absolutely laugh out-loud voice. What happens at the wedding is so funny and out of control that I hope Drew gets it right back at his own wedding. Sebastian York, of course, does a fantastic job on this quick 52 minute listen. I will listen again when I need a good laugh.
After a crazy Vegas weekend celebrating her college graduation—and terrified of the future path she knows is a cop-out—Mia Holland makes the wildest decision of her life: follow Ansel Guillaume—her sweet, filthy fling—to France for the summer and just…play.
This 30 minute audio is a section of Sweet Filthy Boy from Ansel's point of view. Ansel is from France in Vegas with friends and meets Mia. Listening to Jason Carpenter narrate Ansel's POV with ear candy french accent made me fall in love with him all over.
This complimentary review copy was received thankfully from Simon and Schuster Audio and in no way influenced my review of this book. These are my personal thoughts and reactions to the reading of the book.

I don't do audio, but short like this might be doable.
The first looks fun! I'll have to look for it :)
I never think of listening to shorts, great idea. And I too sometimes pick audios based solely on the narrator.
