I have to be honest…

I was really enjoying the title—the writer spins a great yarn—until the point when one of the lead characters was on a plane and a flight attendant is described as “offering” herself up to him. The story devolved and became increasingly incredulous from that point on. The “unconventional” relationship which ensued we could see coming from a mile away; it was unbelievable, improbable and too simplistically written. I stuck around to the end because I was invested by that point but I was largely disengaged and just looking for it to end by the final third. A disappointment for a story that started out so strong. Sorry. It was just not at all convincing to me. The narrators, especially the master Leslie, saved the day again.

Alexis Hall is an amazing craftsperson, able to imbue their characters with depth, grace, vulnerability and realness. The entire series was expertly written with much passion and intelligence. Hall often stuns with the seemingly endless well of their skill, their humour and their attention to detail. But, frankly, the subject matter of pain/pleasure through punishment and kink was not all that appealing to me, and it’s a preference I neither understand nor am particularly aroused by, either. And the now familiar trope of the billionaire swooping in to save the poor student—only to have the student end up saving the billionaire right back—has been done so many times that It’s become tedious. And Hall deftly nods to Pretty Woman in a not so subtle acknowledgment of this. Expertly written, yes, and engaging and skillful, it just wasn’t my cup of tea at the end of day. Leslie, as narrator, saves the day, of course, as he ALWAYS does. And thank G-d for him.

The story, the narrators, and the romantic tension? Perfect. So invested in Law and Andy and so happy to bask in their ending! Just loved it.

…can Cat Sebastian write or what? A near perfect slow burn of a wonderful, all-enthralling love affair. So expertly written (and read by the ever impressive Joel Leslie) that the 11 hours was over faaaaar to quickly. They truly are the dynamic duo of audiobooks. Fantastic queer romance; Eddie and Mark are almost as captivating as Andy and Nick were. The ending was particularly satisfying. I hadn’t realized I had been holding my breath the entire time. Loved it. 9.85/10

..:and meaningfully entertaining that I could not stop listening. What a great tale of self discovery and character development. Also, how great is Joel Leslie as narrator? My gawd. He can make any book sound fantastic.

…nothing much happens in this series of books, so if you’re expecting a whole bunch of suspense and dramatic tension, then maybe this series isn’t for you. What they may lack in edge of your seat suspense, they more than make up for in crisp, witty dialogue, glorious flirtation and laugh out loud antics. Really enjoyed the slow and steady pace of getting to know Lane and Felix, How they have adjusted to each other and how their love for one another ultimately knows no bounds. It was a great series. And, as usual, it’s John Leslie’s world. We’re just allowed to visit.

…could not be any more different as personalities go, but I guess opposites really do attract. I’ve enjoyed getting to know them a bit and look forward to their next adventure together, which is already in queue. I get the feeling there is a lot of backstory there yet to experience. Joel Leslie is utterly fantastic, as usual. Performance here is top notch, with him demonstrating some of his best acting, ever. So vibrant and compelling. He’s really that good. 😊 5/5 on this narrator. 4/5 on the story, for me.

….to a well written, witty and laugh-inducing series. Not as perfect as the first book was, but still head and shoulders above its competitors. Joel Leslie? Another home run!

What a wonderful and funny read. Even in the face of danger, our protagonists crack jokes, lifting the mood and giving us a chance to breathe; to feel safe. Lovely, witty (and constant) banter as the boys discover each other in this world and the unconscious one is highly entertaining. Lots and lots and lots of fun. Loved it.

A fitting sequel to the 1st tome and I enjoyed seeing Lawson and Jack find their ever-after. NR Walker never disappoints. Just enough sex to keep your interest and a whole bunch of opposites-attract fun.
