Love in Mission City: The Shorts Box Set
Mission City is tucked in the charming Cedar Valley in southwestern British Columbia. If you love heartwarming, contemporary small-town gay romances, then come home to Mission City and fall in love with the men who live there. Romance blossoms in the unlikeliest places. And trouble has a way of finding them...
Page Against the Machine
Dickens has run his family bookstore for years in the quiet ambiance suitable for literary endeavors. When Spike opens a motorcycle repair shop next door, tempers flare and sparks fly. Will they be able to resolve their differences or are they just too stubborn for compromise?
The Lightkeeper’s Love Affair
Ben’s graduation celebration is disrupted by a winter storm. He and his beagle, Buddy, have the only room left in the hotel. When lightkeeper Isaac needs a bed, though, Ben’s happy to share. Platonically, of course. Except something about Isaac makes Ben want more. Not in it for the Money
August’s beloved sister has passed suddenly and the man finds himself in need of comfort. Turning to his employee feels all kinds of wrong, but Julian's arms feel too damned right to resist. Come morning, though, they have to look reality in the face. Is there a chance they find a forever love out of the tragedy?
Marcus’s Cadence
Cadence is trying to sell the home that had been his refuge during his tumultuous teen years. When his teenage crush, Marcus, shows up as a potential buyer, sparks fly. Is there just a real estate deal to be done or could his feelings be requited? (You don't want to imply sex/love is part of a deal)
Ace’s Place
After a fall from grace, Derek has moved to a small town for a fresh start. Harold, the local golden boy made good, catches Derek’s attention. But secrets and omissions cloud what could be the beginning of something special. Can they take a chance on being vulnerable enough to fall in love?

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 26
Having spent more than twenty years as an emergency medicine physician in war zones around the world, I barely have a home to speak of. A daughter I didn’t know about has died and left a child behind, so I must get to Gaynor Beach, California to claim my granddaughter. Her temporary guardian is the first man to spark my interest in a very long time, but it would be inappropriate for me to have a relationship with this much-younger man.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 134
World War III broke out 130 years ago when humans found out that magi and shifters were real. Humans have been imprisoning and enslaving the two species since. But now humans need their help protecting the world from the strange monsters they let cross the veil between realms. All three species have been at odds for more than a century, but can Madeo—a mage—and Cosmo—a lion shifter—put aside their differences to work together, and maybe even find comfort in each other’s arms?

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 408
The job at Sunday Orchard was supposed to be temporary. A chance to gain some work experience, to have some fun. I had not expected to be welcomed into a family of gorgeous and weirdly efficient lumberjack-types, or to find purpose in the tiny Vermont town whose claim to fame seemed to be apple-based products and copious amounts of charm. And I most definitely hadn’t expected to fall for Knox Sunday, my grumpy, burly, fifteen-years-older, reluctant roommate, with his infuriating lectures, his hot-as-fire body, his superior attitude - I’ve never been one to put down roots.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,097
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,097
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Hockey coach Ashley Jaswal doesn't take nonsense from anyone … except her overbearing and superstitious family. They believe she's a good luck charm for her brother Jas, the newest Vancouver Canucks draft pick, forcing Ash to attend all his games as he rises up the NHL ranks, sacrificing her personal life (not that she has one—who decided hockey season needed to be 10 months long anyway?). Ash also clashes with Jas’s teammate, Canucks captain Devin Snyder.

Five Stories With Steamy Encounters
Page Against The Machine starts snippy and antagonist but end quirky and sweet, with a kick of dirty heat. Spike/Fritz and Dickens are quite the opposites-attract pair. Plus, the story has some of the most unique character names!
The Lightkeepers Love Affair was beautiful and sweet, with two men, Isaac and Ben, falling hard and fast for each other. I loved the descriptions of the storms in Tofino.
Marcus’ Cadence is a speedy and steamy surprise encounter that starts the relationship between Cadence and Marcus. This one is just a short snippet, with lots of questions left unknown at the end. Still, the future looked bright for these two.
In Not In It For The Money, August is Julian’s boss and longtime crush. A family death pushes August to seize the day - can a passionate cathartic moment lead to more? I enjoyed the raw emotion in this story.
Ace’s Place was full of friends, honesty, and new found love. Harold and Derrick were such an interesting duo, and their happily ever after was so sweet.
Micheal Dean did a great job giving each character a different voice. Really brought the stories to life.

Sweet and sexy set of short stories!
This is a collection of short stories by Gabbi Grey set in the Mission City world. I had already read 3 of them so it was fun to revisit them along with listening to the 2 stories I hadn't. These 5 stories were all narrated by Michael Dean and he did an amazing job bringing them to life.
I hate that these stories are so short. I would have loved them even more if they'd each been 3 times as long. Each story has a unique storyline but all of them have one thing in common, insta-love. It's hard not to have insta-love/lust when you only have a few dozen pages to work with.
I'm not picking a favorite since I loved them all.

Lots of sweet fun
Paige Agianst the Machine
Fitz, or more likely known as Spike, is the new motorcycle repair shop owner that sets up business right next to Dickens, the owner of the bookshop. This is a pseudo enimies to lovers, cause well.... Dickens can't stand the noise coming from the shop next door and he is going to give Spike the what for 🙃 An opposites attract, one rough biker looking guy and one nerdy bookish guy. But, these two have scorching hot chemistry and are a lot of fun. this story is well written and super fun.
The Lightkeeper's Love Affair
Isaac and Ben are stuck on an island with only one hotel room and one bed 😏 Ben also has his lovely dog with him. This is a short story with a sweet instalust/love. These two are steamy together and when the storm passes and they are able to leave the island they want to find a way to stay together.
Marcus's Cadence
Cadence is selling his childhood home and Marcus has always loved the home so he wants to buy it. When Marcus finds out the seller is someone he has had a rush on for years he sees the situation as a win win. Cadence feels he needs to sell the house but doesn't actually want to. When these two give into their attraction and find that they have a lot to look forward to in the future both Marcus and Cadence are able to get the house they want. This short story is super sweet.
Not In It For the Money
August and Julian are boss and employee. August is deeply grieving his sister's death and turns to Julian for comfort. His sister was his last reason for staying in the closet but he has always had eyes for Julian. When the opportunity presents itself August wants to pursue Julian and see not only what he has been missing out on by not living as an out gay man but what he is missing out on with the man he is in love with. Julian didn't realize Augusts feelings but he is happy to show him some hot moves 😏🤭
Ace's Place
Harold, aka Ace, owns the towns local bar. Derek is moving to the area to take a teaching position after having been fired. Derek enters the bar and hits it off with the bartender. Harold gives Derek his given name and not his nickname, which the town finds very interesting. A one night stand that turns both their world's upside down starts a relationship that lasts for all of the nights. This story is so sweet and shows you never know what you will find when you aren't really looking.

All bundled up
Considering how short a few of these are, it makes sense to finally bundle them all together for release. It’s certainly a value over the individual stories.
I greatly enjoyed the two longer stories (Page Against the Machine and Ace’s Place), but struggled a bit with the shorter ones. I can play along with insta love/lust for the most part though Marcus’s Cadence and Not in It for the Money took that to unbelievable extremes. The format made it easy to break into different sessions, though, while Michael Dean was a pleasure to listen to.

Short Stories Brought to Life!
I have a read a few of these stories, but here as a collection on audible is the best experience! Shorter stories are more challenging sometimes to really get a feel for the characters and Michael Dean narrating pulled me in. We get a mix of tropes and situations and I have to say my favorite is definitely Not in It for the Money with August and Julian as employer and employee. Julian's love for all things outdoors was wonderful. I also love Ace's Place, Derek and Harold are true opposites that cannot stop the attraction.

Stunningly good
Wow so much fun in one box set. This was sooo good, each story has a unique feel and the characters are all lovable. My favorite was Aces Place with Derek and Harold. The narrative was spot on.

FOUR BOOK BUNDLE
PAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE
I really enjoyed this addition to the Mission City series. Dickens and Spike have a rough introduction but the chemistry between them is explosive. I liked that Sunshine plays a key role in the story. My favorite thing was the way Dickens saw beyond Spike to Fritz.
THE LIGHTKEEPER'S LOVE AFFAIR
Ben and Isaac's chance meeting brings them their other half. It's fast and sweet. I liked that they didn't let uncertainty build. The meet-the-parents moment made me grin.
MARCUS'S CADENCE
When Marcus and Cadence meet again after so long it seems that neither one can hide what they feel. This is a short story but it is a terrific addition to the Mission City series.
ACE'S PLACE
I love Gabbi's characters. They always feel like people I'd like to know. It tickled me that Ace introduced himself as Harold when the only person to call him that was his mother. Derek comes across as a snob, and he is to a point, but he's also a man of honor. Seeing the stand he took against corruption took guts. It is obvious that Ace is a good guy by the admiration of those around him. I liked that even before their relationship was established Ace's friends had welcomed him in. The ending is wonderful.
Audiobook: terrific narration

Wonderful couples and use of tropes
First I have to mention all the wonderful pets bringing an added dimension of fun and love to these stories. They let us see the characters in a different light and are the perfect cherries on top. Then, we have all these wonderful couples and Gabbi Grey's skillful use of tropes in these shorter works. We have enemies to lovers, forced proximity/sharing hotel rooms, hurt/comfort and I have to especially mention the tension between a certain bookstore owner and his motorcycle shop guy. I loved every one of these stories and Michael Dean did a superb job of bringing all the characters to life and fitting the moods of each story.
