Shoddy narration

This narrator struggled to read fluently. He paused at random places in the middle of clauses and phrases as if he hadn’t realized that the thought continued on. He didn’t group words properly. This is typical of beginning readers and not what I would expect from a professional narrator. I also wasn’t a fan of the baritone quality of his voice. It sounded like the recording was done in a barrel which just emphasized the tone of his voice. It wasn’t pleasant to listen to. Sadly, this ruined the book for me. I couldn’t stand the weird narration.

Oh my god!!

This was really good but it ends in a cliffhanger. Be prepared for big emotions.

Slow, slow burn

I am a huge fan of Ella Frank, but this book left me confused. I really like the premise, but the execution is unexpected. The MC’s did not have the chemistry I am used to from her. I was turned off by Xander’s constant berating of Shawn. The attraction did not culminate until the last hour.

Charlie David gave a stellar performance as always.

Great start to a new series!

Ella has done it again, I loved this book and I am hooked! I started reading and then listened to the audiobook. I have to say, Charlie David did a great job. He really made me hear the sophistication of Xander and made Sean sound like a regular blue collar guy. There is a great push pull between these guys and a lot of good banter. I can’t wait to get more and I’m excited for more interaction with Henri and Bailey.

Amazing!!

Omg!! Sean and Zander are so good together. This book is amazing and so snarky. I love it. Can’t wait for the rest of the series.

Such a ride!!

This story reminds me of a Rollercoaster ride...slow on the build-up, then boom...everything happens! Then you realize the ride is over and all you wanna do is get right back on and ride again.

Loved it!

As usual Charlie David knocks it out of the park with this narration. He did an amazing job with narrating Xander and Sean. He really pulled me into the story, and I found myself fanning myself over some super steamy moments between Xander and Sean. I’m totally sucked into this new series. I was immediately drawn into Sean and Xander’s story and I liked them both from the beginning. I loved how they each began to see each other in a different light. Even though they had known each other for years, they each started to see different nuances in each other. Most of all they realized how their feelings towards each other had changed so much. I love a story that has first times, and Sean is finding a man attractive for the first time. That man, Xander, is also finding himself attracted to the last man he ever thought he’d have feelings for. The chemistry is off the charts HOT with these two, and I can’t wait to see how their relationship develops. The ending of this one leaves you saying “but, but I need to know what happens next”! I can’t wait for the next book and see how the exciting turn this one took unfolds.

mesmerising!

I could not stop listening! perfect marriage of story and performance. both the characters were endearing and they both had wonderful development.
But that ending though, total heart wrencher.

Wonderful new series!!

I really love Sean and Xander. Their story is very exciting! This book is part of a series and ends on a cliffhanger. I am definitely looking forward to seeing their relationship develop in the next book. Characters from other series by this author make an appearance, but you can definitely still enjoy this series if you haven't read/ listened to the others.
