Perfect Second Chance Romance

I've read or listened to most of Charles's books and enjoyed them all. I think this one is the best. Part of the Magpie universe but perfectly readable on its own, Jackdaw is a exemplar of the Second Chance Romance. The lies and betrayals that initally separate the couple seem insurmountable obstacles to the HEA. But though the characters poor choices have dire consequences, they also have realistic understandable motivations. So you can't help but root for the couple as they find their way back to each other.

of the black character. I was going to overlook the comparing our complexions to food thing, but then the author went on about the whites of his eyes ~ gleaming in the dark ~ a description that harkens back to Minstrelry and spook jokes. I noped out at that point.

this was delicious! apart from The Chemistry Between the appealing leads, I think my favorite part is that the author seems to understand that queer people have rational, perfectly explicable reasons for not coming out that are not rooted in self-loathing or extraordinary trauma.

while it was refreshing to have the two leads not be paragons of virtue (they are clearly engaged in an emotional affair) the impact is blunted by the author's choice to have the spurned partner magnanimously step aside for true love. the hea doesn't feel earned despite all the build-up. I was also annoyed that hiring discrimination and workplace sexual harassment were treated as hijinks.

all that being said, the book was still entertaining and the audio performance was great.

is that number one Joel Leslie is perfectly competent but for whatever reason I just don't like his voice and number two Dog's family really bummed me out. that was the point I guess but boy did I hate his horrible sister, even more than his openly hostile father.

story itself is funny and warm, so good that i'm finna scour amazon, audible and overdrive for everything thornton has ever written. and the audio performance is fantastic. Each character is so distinct that i truly have trouble believing they are all performed by one person.

What a gem! This perfectly paced romance unfolds so sweetly that the period appropiate tragic notes are all the more keenly felt.

A light and sweet alternative to the insta-love, insta-bangs that dominate the m/m offerings in the Escape package. If you like a lot of stolen glances and ~hopeless~ pining, this a good pick.

This story has plenty of steam and plenty of pining. The central plot device was well-executed. Griff yearns in it's exquisite LOL. The performer is great too.
