About this listen
To all appearances, Joe Heath is a typical straight married man, living with his wife and two teenage children, commuting to work, playing sports, enjoying a beer.... But there are things about Joe that his friends don’t know. For one thing, his relationship with his wife has deteriorated to the point that they’re sleeping in separate bedrooms, only staying together until the kids have left home. And there’s something else: for the last few years, Joe has wanted to have sex with another man.
A chance encounter with a trainer at his gym launches Joe on a series of encounters - some casual, some serious, some comic, some dangerous, all of them erotic in the way that only James Lear can make them. Soon, Joe is living a double life: breadwinner and father by day, sexual adventurer by night - his hunting ground the online dating sites that give him access to anyone and anything he wants.
While My Wife’s Away is hot, but it’s also an odyssey of self-discovery as Joe tests the limits of his new freedom. Can he survive in a world of instant sexual gratification? And will he ever find someone to love?

Story
Being invited to my cousin’s wedding really shouldn’t be a big deal except, oh yeah, I haven't seen my family for a decade. My parents turned their backs on me, and I’ve done everything since to become successful and show them what they've lost. Only it’s kinda hard to be a success when you’re a walking trainwreck.

Story
Payne. In search of: Room to rent. Must ignore the patheticness of a 40-year-old roommate. Preferably dirt cheap as funds are tight (nonexistent). There’s nothing sadder than moving back to my hometown newly divorced, homeless, and lost for what my next move is. When my little brother’s best friend offers me a place to stay in exchange for menial duties, I swallow my pride and jump at the offer. I need this. I also need Beau to wear a shirt. And ditch the gray sweatpants. And not leave his door ajar when he’s in compromising positions...

Story
Though I was born with the ability to see the dead, I struggled with it until my brother was killed and his ghost was left behind. Now, I’m determined to figure out who is responsible for his death…the problem is that Detective Maddox Booker, the one working the case, is a grumpy and stubborn man who wants nothing to do with me and definitely doesn’t believe in ghosts. It doesn’t help that I keep finding myself looking ridiculous in front of the detective, thanks to interfering ghosts who enjoy laughing at my expense.

Story
In my defense, I was left alone with a bottle of single-malt and a lifelong penchant for protecting my baby sister. Still, that's no excuse to send 10 drunk-texts on why her hasty marriage would be a mistake. If only I had just texted my sister. But nope. I accidentally sent the message to her, her groom, and his super hot wingman. I also used the phrase “super hot wingman”, so I’d like to die now.

Turns out I’ve also inherited a sexy, tattooed guy who not only rents the space next to my store but my apartment too. Gideon. I wasn’t looking for a roommate, but it’s not like I can stay at Milo’s place while he’s banished to a hotel. According to Milo, we’re bestie goals.

The prospect of being naked in the same room with him is horrifying. So why the hell is he considering it?

Hot stories, but horrible narration..
What did you like best about While My Wife's Away? What did you like least?
The story is really hot - lots of different scenarios.. The main character is discovering his sexuality, and it's nice not to have a character struggle with the self-loathing. However, the narration is horrible. Lots of pauses, hesitations, and just a bad mismatch. The book is written from the perspective of an English middle aged men, but the narration is definitely American. Every time he says the word "arse", I wanted to cringe.
Could you see While My Wife's Away being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
John Hamm or Patrick Warburton would be naturals.
Any additional comments?
Still love the author, but this really needs a new narrator.

Ambiguous Ending
The performance of this is average- a little awkward and a bit too fast, I had to slow the speed down to make it sound natural. I wish Teddy Hamilton could have read this!
Story is well paced and all of the requisite “steamy” scenes deliver.
I’ve read other reviews that claim that this is Lear’s worst work, but it’s the first of his that I’ve read and it’s better than a lot of stuff out there.
People complain about the ending and on the first listen I was confused, but I was falling asleep as I was listening. I re-listened the next day and understood what James Lear was trying to accomplish.
Worth a credit but sample the narration first to see if the performance bothers you.

Aweful narration.
The story was enticing and full of titillation, but the narration was the worst ever, for me. I couldn't even finish it because it was so deadpan and un- enthused. I could go on, but let's leave it there.

Honestly, the Campy narration was awful from the beginning, but when his cell phone text notifications began, I had to bounce. Just terrible.
