A moving story about a veteran with issues and a lonely, stuttering handyman, this book has a long, slow burn that I didn't mind at all, as it kept you engaged from the beginning.
The characters had great depth, as did the story; I never felt I lacked anything more.
I've read the other books in this series, which I absolutely loved and would recommend. However, you could read this as a standalone, but the characters overlap.
Michael Dean did an excellent job of narrating this book. As usual, I did speed up the recording to 1.25 on Audible.

What a beautifully written book. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
This is a new author to me, but after reading this beautifully written book, I am eager to explore more of their works.
I loved the characters. Rory and Jacob were well written. We could all pine for a Daddy like Jacob, a great caretaker and excellent Daddy.
Rory is a side, and that is handled well within the story. It's a nice change to typical daddy/boy books, so it's well done.
Zachary, the narrator, once again delivered an excellent performance. I've had the pleasure of listening to about 18 of his books, and his narration style has become a comforting norm for me. I did speed up the narration to 1.20 on Audible, which is my norm.

Wow, it's book five of the series, and I loved it.
We meet Gabe, the band drummer and a law student. His father is working on a case that causes problems for his family, including Gabe.
Jeremy works for Gabe's father while paying off his student loans and starting to study Law. Gabe's dad asks him to bodyguard Gabe while he finishes this case. Things turn iffy fast, and Gabe is outed to his family.
I found this book to be well-written and thoroughly enjoyable. I listened overnight and couldn't put it down. It's a great story.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book/audio to anyone who enjoys a good romance novel.
The narration was good. Finnley Cole's clear and concise delivery made the listening experience enjoyable. I did speed up the narration to 1.15 on Audible, but this is normal for me.

I have loved this series. It's so good. Each couple is unique but works as a friendship group—so much so that you want to be part of it.
We meet Lucas and Dean, best friends. While Dean has been in love with his friend Dean, Dean had no idea until now that it was something. All their friends and family are waiting for Dean to realise it.
This is a best friend to lovers, a sexual MM awakening, a beautiful story, and part of a lovely series. Although they are linked, they can be read as stand-alone.
Oliver Young-Apstein's narration was very good and very easy to listen to. I didn't need to speed him up like most other narrators, so I got a full four and a half hours. I would listen to this audio again and recommend it.

We meet Julian, the manager for the Cravenwood Towers, who has a huge heart and will help everyone.
Shaw is new to the area and has a traumatic past, but he has worked hard to get to where he is and is determined to work even harder to stay here.
The story's sensitive handling of past trauma and current issues is handled well. This is an age gap, hurt comfort, and a beautiful story part of a lovely series. Although they are linked, they can be read as stand-alone.

Sebastian is new to Gaynor Beach. He has a new job and a new start. His first stop before his new job gets chatted up by a kid half his age; he's not getting involved again, especially with someone so young.
The narrative beautifully brings these two characters together, allowing a genuine friendship to blossom. The story is a testament to the fact that age gap, opposites, and boss/employee dynamics can indeed work.

I loved this story and the characters; even Anthony started to grow on me.

There are kidnappings, fights, passion, and fear. We get a good, in-depth look into their world. This is an amazing piece of writing which kept me hooked.
Gary Furlong tells the story well, and his ability to do all the voices is incredible. This entirely enhances the audio experience.

The American Dream, or is it? Eddie hopes to break out his career in America, but he has to take along a bodyguard as per his father's request. However, the bodyguard is his long-time boyhood lust fantasy. How will he cope?
I love how CF White writes; you feel immersed in the characters and story. This is true of each of her books. Her characters always have complex backgrounds that pull you in and make you feel that you know these people and have a connection with them.
Brilliant writing, heart-stopping and sad in parts, some parts I wanted to bang their heads together. I recommend you read this book and the whole series.
I can't wait for this to be out in audio.

It's an easy-to-read, light, and fluffy love story about Evan and Dash's journey into romance and love.
It's an emotional journey, especially with Dash's story and his lack of self-worth. The characters will keep you engaged till the end, making it a rewarding read.
Prepare to be deeply invested in the characters. They are not just well-written but also possess great backstories and depth. If you're in need of a gentle book, this is the one; it's a balm for the heart.

Sanden and Remy's complicated is an understatement. Well-written and very emotional, this book tackles a range of issues, from partner abuse to the death of a sibling, work-related PTSD, and jumping into a fresh relationship days after a marriage that didn't happen.

At the rehab centre, there is this infuriating man who keeps getting in Creek's face. He is full of sunshine and so annoying. He doesn't seem to care that Creek wants to wallow in self-pity.
This is a well-written story about two guys with similar injuries, but completely different outlooks. It's a deep dive into their lives, including their mental health. I was captivated from the start by this story and fell in love with both Creek and Heath.
John Solo did a great job narrating this book. The characters were brought to life, giving the story an immersive feel. I highly recommend this audio.
