EDDIE: Cancel your dinky little roomette on the train. I’m booking us two of the big bedroom suites.
BIRDIE: I’ll cancel it AFTER you’ve booked the other sleeper rooms. And reimburse you.
EDDIE: Don’t worry about it. Just cancel your tickets. I got this. Round trip. I’m on the Amtrak website right now.
BIRDIE: You don’t have to leave NYC when I do! You’ll hardly be able to spend any time with your Instagram girlfriend that you've never met!
EDDIE: It’s fine. She’ll be fine with it. Cancel your tickets.
BIRDIE: You aren’t going to stop texting me until I’ve canceled them, are you?
EDDIE: Damn right I’m not. Just do it. You can thank me later.
***
EDDIE: Um. Did you cancel your tickets?
BIRDIE: Yes, Edward. I canceled them.
EDDIE: Okay, because it turns out they only had one Family Bedroom from LA to Chicago. But the good news is I booked it for us. It’s the biggest room they had. The bad news is I booked it for us. And it’s the only sleeper room they have left now. EDDIE: In related news, there was also only one room left from Chicago to New York.
EDDIE: Hands up if you’re excited! *man raising hand emoji*
BIRDIE: I am so mad at you right now.
***
BIRDIE: I’ve compiled a list of ground rules re shared train bedroom. Check your email, please read carefully, and refer to it again on the ninth of February. Thank you.
EDDIE: *nerd face emoji* Received. I have some notes.

Review

If you want pure fun and escapism, read these books! We promise you loads of giggles, swoon, heart, and heat! -- Totally Booked Blog


OH MY SWOONY GOODNESS! A Very Friendly Valentine's Day is the friendliest of love stories- it is easy, charming, and delightfully adorable. Feel good vibes all around....Eddie is a TOTAL dreamboat. SWOOOOOOOOON, I am so in love. This man is so charming- incredibly witty, considerate and caring, and surprisingly self-aware....ALSO- MAN IS A DIRTY TALKER. SCORCHINGLY SO!....This is probably the lowest angsty book I've ever read- the conflict is practically non-existent, which just made it even sweeter and more enjoyable. It took these two so long to accept their feelings, so I love how Kayley doesn't make us (or them) agonize after they do- we just get to absorb the sweet and tender magic of two soul mates pretty seamlessly falling together. The romantic overtures are especially swoon-worthy- I "awww'ed" more than once out loud. -- The Romantic Rush Blog


The thing that I love about Loring's writing is that she can take you from laughing out loud to crying 'awww' tears in the space of a few sentences, and you remember her books and characters because they are all extremely unique, have their own personalities and foibles. I loved Eddie as a secondary character in the first book, but front and center he was an absolute delight, Birdie was the perfect nerd-girl and their train journey (literally) to realizing they were meant to be more than BFF's was entertaining from start to finish. -- Claire Robinson, Goodreads


I loved the witty banter between Eddie and Birdie, their text messages had me in stitches at times. I fell hard and fast for Eddie there was something about him that was totally swoon worthy. The chemistry between them is scorching and there was so much fun and laughter reading this book that my husband thought I was mad. -- Erin Lewis, BookBub review


This is the perfect feel good read. I don't think I stopped smiling from start to finish. These two characters are just so cute together, it's hard not to love them both. -- Vickie, Goodreads


Eddie and Birdie are a couple you will just fall in love with! From their adorably sweet and flirty banter to their humorous texts you'll be falling a little harder for them over each and every page! I don't think I've ever enjoyed a couples story more!.... From beginning to end this was an adorably sweet, extremely humorous, and very sexy delight that I thoroughly enjoyed reading! It left me with a huge smile and all the ALL THE FEELS!! This book is the PERFECT holiday treat and one story you don't want to miss! -- The Romance Reader Gal


Kayley Loring's books always make me smile and my heart glow! In her newest book, A Very Friendly Valentine's Day, Birdie and Eddie are pure joy swirled together in steamy heat, which make this a perfect blend of reading happiness!! -- Kay Daniels Romance

Kayley Loring

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Amazon Top 25 and USA Today bestselling author Kayley Loring spent many years as a screenwriter (under a different name) in Los Angeles before moving to the Pacific Northwest to live out her childhood dream of being a Disney heroine who talks and sings to woodland creatures. When not trying to keep animals alive, she’s writing steamy romantic comedy novels, obviously. She’s breathing cleaner air, writing dirtier words, and staring at her computer screen until her eyeballs dry out instead of prancing around Southern California in miniskirts and going to the hair salon. Still waiting for the woodland creatures to clean her house, though.

Read or listen to Kayley’s books when you want to laugh, warm your heart, and enjoy top-notch banter, strong heroines who need to be chased, lovable characters you’d want to know in real life, and swoon over perfectly imperfect book boyfriends.

Cute, swoony friends to lovers

Cute, swoony friends to lovers
Kayley Loring’s books are guaranteed to leave me feeling swoony and way wittier than I actually am. Eddie and Nerdy Birdie have a fun friendship thats been building over the last 6 or so years. Both are heading to New York. With Birdie’s fear of flying, they decide to take the 3 day love train together where they’re finally forced to admit their feelings. Eddie has such a sweet side I couldn’t help but fall in love with him! Birdie is a great female lead in her own right and I loved to see her balance out Eddie. The second half of the story is definitely my favorite part and I loved to see them come together and find their HEA. A Very Friendly Valentine’s Day is a low angst story with all the swoon and laughs to start the year off right.

    I LOVED THIS BOOK!!
    Eddie and Birdie!!!!!! Eeeep!
    I am so in love with these two!! This story was so good, so fun, and so ducking sexy!

    I dove right into this book after I finished book 1 (A Very Bossy Christmas.) It doesn’t need to be read first, but I wanted to. And if you have the time, I think you should, too.

    This was a friends-to-lovers story done so adorably well! So wonderfully and smoothly written, I couldn’t get enough.
    Pure RomCom goodness & perfection!!

    Birdie is so stinkin’ cute!! She’s quirky and nerdy and intelligent and beautiful and I couldn’t get enough of her. I want to be her bestie! And Eddie is so stinkin’ sexy!! He’s romantic and kind and funny and he wants the girl!

    The train ride from LA to Chicago was all sorts of fun. And sexy and full of shenanigans and so much deliciousness. An adorkable heroine who is incredibly attracted to her best friend. A hero who will do anything to make her his.

    Eddie cannot stop thinking about her perky…ahem…personality…yeah that’s it. I loved how determined he was to make her see. To make her realize they were made for each other and belonged together and should be a couple. His commitment and patience was endearing and it made me love him all the more. He’s been attracted to Birdie since the day they met. Now, years later, he’s finally figured it out…

    Eddie + Birdie = together 4-ever

    These two were absolutely adorable and perfect for each other and I just wanted to reach into the pages and give them a big squeeze.

    And I must mention Eddie’s family! I fell for the Cannavale family in book 1 and I was so happy to get them in this book as well.

    If it isn’t already obvious, I loved this book tons. It gave me ALL THE FEELS. It made me all smiley & swoony and giddy and I sighed with happiness and contentment so. many. times.

    If you read and loved book 1, you’ll want to read this book. If you haven’t read the first book, no problem! This one will still be highly enjoyable.

    Genre Romantic Comedy | Best Friends to Lovers

    Kayley Loring sweeps readers up AGAIN in her latest romcom, A Very Friendly Valentine's Day. This book you guys. It’s so funny! I laughed through and through and couldn’t get enough of Birdie and Eddie. They are hilarious together and make the PERFECT fictional couple. I love how their story started off as them being friends which then progressed into more when they are essentially stuck on a train together and finally coming to terms with their feelings from the close proximity. Sigh, it made me swoon so hard!

    If you enjoy friends to lover’s romances like I do then you won’t want to miss this one. It’s a quick and breezy read with enough steam to make you flush and enough laughs to make your belly hurt. Just be warned, once you start reading her books you won’t be able to stop. I’m still a new reader of hers but have already bought a handful of her older novels.

    𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜 𝗟𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗗 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞

    ● The banter between Eddie and Birdie is HILARIOUS. You can just tell that they are really close best friends with the way they interact with each other. It doesn’t feel forced at all!

    ● I love how Eddie is an actor but that doesn’t take up the storyline. This is simply a best friend to lover’s romance (with a side of HOT actor who can make any girl swoon). I’m not a huge fan of Hollywood romances so this was simply perfect for me because it wasn’t like those types of books at all!

    ● Eddie’s family is HILARIOUS! If you’ve read A Very Bossy Christmas (which is interconnected with this one, but both can stand alone) you may recall a few characters who play a part in this one (mainly the niece and his mother). I honestly couldn’t stop laughing!

    𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜 𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗘𝗗 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞

    ● There really wasn’t anything I didn’t like about this novel. Like I said, Kayley Loring is a fantastic writer and her romcoms are top notch! I just wished there was a little bit more when it came to what happened AFTER 😉

    Me and my friends read this as part of a book club and honestly I’m so glad we chose this book. This author is new to me but I will be reading more especial because Piper has her own book.

    This book has all the feels that will keep your heart beating so far. I absolutely loveeeee a best friends to lovers so it ticked all the boxes for me. This is fast paced sweet romance with so much best. When Eddie agrees to go on a train ride with his bestie Berdie all the passion and years of tension that has been building explodes and my goodness I had to keep fanning myself.

    I had a constant smile on my face because they were so perfect for each other but the banter was so good between them. I really commend this read if you are looking for something that will hold your heart forever.

    AudiobookReview

    I was lucky and so very happy to get an ALC (Advanced Listener Copy) for this ducking adoring, flippity flappity awesome book!

    This is a friends to lovers story that has you laughing all the way with rib-tickling one-liners, text & voice messages, drunk singing, sexy comedic banter & dialogues as well as the overall feel-good emotions this story brings with it.

    A very Friendly Valentine’s Day gives you the story of Eddie Cannavale, who is a side character in A very Bossy Christmas, and Birdie Beckett, his best friend of 6 years. They have known each other since college until a drunk voice message and a train ride from LA to New York questions the way they feel about each other.

    I already had so many snort-laugh moments eyeball reading the book but then the audio performances took it up a nudge and knocked it out of the park!

    This is Dual narration with part Duet narration performed by Connor Crais, Mackenzie Cartwright and featuring Dane Anderson, who make this a truly awesome audio experience!

    Connor Crais can recite Shakespeare to me any day! He portrayed Eddie like we imagine him cocky, adorable & sexy! ... and OMG the singing! Also, I think one of my favourite imitations of his is Ma Cannavale!

    Mackenzie Cartwright's singing gave me goosebumps. I already imagined her singing when I read the book. Mackenzie is awesome and she was such a loveable nerdy Birdie!
    Also, I love her imitation of Piper who is one of the side characters.

    Dane Anderson, who is a new voice on the romance horizon had a brief feature as Gavin the conductor aboard this love train! I hope we get to hear more of him as his voice is also very swoon-worthy!

    I just love Kayley's style of writing and what hysterically funny one-liners and dialogues she is coming up with. If you love angsty dramatic romance stories this is not for you. If on the other hand, you love sexy fun romance stories that make you snort-laugh than this is definitely for you.

    “Roses are red,
    Violets are blue,
    You will laugh all the way,
    And ducking love this book too!”

    I can’t get over how adorable and hilarious Eddie and Birdie’s story is! I genuinely laughed so hard I kinda snorted like a pig.. multiple times. oops? It was honestly the perfect story to clear away those January blues, I loved the friendship these two shared, their banter and teasing, the way neither tried to change the other because they loved each other just as they were, I loved how Eddie wasn’t afraid to get emotional and express exactly what he thought and I love that birdie wasn’t shy and said exactly what she wanted too. I loved the fact there were no major secrets between them and no drama and that they were just so freaking cute. I just love everything about this book. It’s only January and I have a strong feeling this might be one of my fave 2021 reads already!
