Former boy band member Justin Hayes isn't looking for a man. He just wants a quiet, scandal-free Christmas at home in Chicago, out of the public eye. But his best friend and bandmate is subjecting everyone to his destination wedding, and Justin can't dodge the "best man" bullet. All he has to do is get to the island on time, survive the reunion, and get Chuck to the altar with as little drama as possible. What could possibly go wrong?

I love this story
Revisado: 04-15-25
It bears repeating, I love the story. I have read the story so many times I can’t even keep track. I’ve enjoyed listening to the characters being brought to life. While there are a few places where I wish there was a little bit more emotion added to the narration, I just enjoyed the story. I thought he did a great job.

Years ago, a very intoxicated Martin nearly died in the woods outside Everlasting, and a beautiful creature saved him, although Martin’s done his best to forget it. He spends his time in a haze of weed as he avoids his emotionally abusive mother - and the way he feels about men. Martin is already a weirdo in his isolated small town; he doesn’t need a sexuality crisis, too.

Slow-burn, emotionally charged story
Revisado: 09-04-24
I received a free copy of this audio book, but am in no way affiliated with the author, prod company, or the narrator. I am a longtime R. Cooper fan, and have purchased both versions of the His Mossy Boy ebook. The Beings in Love series is one of my favorites, I re-read them all of the time, and look forward to each new addition. However, I am very new to audio books since my attention span for listening to someone speaking is very narrow. For this reason, I stick to audio book versions of stories I'm very familiar with. I can lose focus and still know what is happening.
With this in mind, I thought that the narrator is a wonderful job with Martin, Ian, and the Everlasting cast of characters. Especially in scenes set in Cuppa where several characters contribute dialog. The storyline has a lot of emotional implications for the main characters, especially Martin, which Christopher does a wonderful job of bringing to life. As another reviewer mentioned, hearing the text exchanges really adds another level of impact, especially Ian's.
Others have mentioned the story length. This is an element of R. Cooper's stories we fans expect and embrace. But honestly, the character and emotional arcs that Martin and Ian have to go through are not something that can be rushed without cheating both the characters and the readers/listeners. Ian from a lifetime of warnings, rules, and cautions pushed on him and Martin on two different fronts: his sexuality and breaking away from a lifeline of emotional abuse and manipulation. How do you condense that down to a shorter novel or a novella? The story moves through a natural pace, and I think that does the content handled in the story more justice that a quick-and-dirty version.
One final item: the Beings stories are shared world and mostly standalone, but you do get more out of each story when you read the other stories in order, if only for the world-building element. However, for His Mossy Boy, some of the context around dragons and Zarrin's case is best understood if you also read/listen to Treasure for Treasure.
