When Jase Kelly scores his fourth professional hat trick, it’s more than just a career highlight. In one of the hats raining down onto the ice, there’s a note from two fans—a girl whose migraines keep her from coming to games, and her dad, who hopes to get her an autograph for her birthday.

Story
I spent college worrying about responsibilities and earning my teaching degree, so before graduation and moving to Atlanta with my best friend, Ross, I figure I deserve a little fun. I’ve never been with an older man, but the guy at the bar grabs my attention and doesn’t let go…for multiple rounds, all night long. The next day, when Ross introduces me to his dad, the last thing I expect is for him to be my hookup from the night before, in town from Atlanta for his son’s graduation. The best thing would be to pretend it never happened, which is easier said than done.

Story
It started out as a little fun. When there was a man in my building on a hookup app, why not message him? Only we didn’t meet. We just texted - one night after the other, after the other. GoodWithHisHands was the perfect escape from my life, where pressure was always on my shoulders: my father’s expectations, the worry about my sister, Maddy, getting sick again, and her ex-husband, Ryder Lynwood, suddenly back and volunteering at the same hospital as me. I like talking to him, the same way I enjoy chatting with GoodWithHisHands. They weren’t supposed to be the same person.

Story
Delaney Roberts and Marcus Worthy-Davis have quite a few things in common. Both blue-collar workers in their 40s, they’ve experienced the tragic loss of their wives and meet through their monthly grief group. Their connection is immediate, their friendship solidifying over texts and barstool confessions, neither feeling quite so lonely in the other’s presence. When Marcus reveals to the group that he’s considering dating, it shakes Delaney to his core. He’s nowhere near ready, not when he feels on unstable ground with his teenage son and has vowed not to uproot his life again.

Story
When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

Look, when I met the sexy, witty Brit on the streets of London last night, I had no idea who he was. He was just that hot guy I wanted to have a drink with, so I asked him out for my first evening in town. One thing almost led to another. After a midnight kiss, we made plans for a whole lot more the next day. But when I unlock the door to my rental in the morning, the English hottie is lounging on the couch like he lives here too. Great. For the next year, I’ll be sharing a tiny flat with the sexiest guy I’ve ever known.

Publisher's Summary
Milo.
Unusual. Quirky. Different. I’ve heard it all. I’ve accepted I’m not for everyone. Maybe not anyone. When I find out I inherited a bookstore and apartment on a small East Coast island, I jump at the chance for a new life. Turns out I’ve also inherited a sexy, tattooed guy who not only rents the space next to my store for his tattoo parlor but my apartment too.
Did I mention he’s really hot? And surprisingly sweet?
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. Our unlikely friendship is instant. According to Milo, we’re bestie goals. And if he doesn’t wear pants at home, who am I to complain?
Milo’s not like anyone I’ve ever known. I like laughing and flirting with him. He’s adorably honest, eager, and sexier than he realizes. Now, I just have to figure out how to convince him that maybe it’s time for an upgrade from bestie to boyfriend goals.

Warm and Sweet with Outstanding Narration
I'm glad I chose the audio for this story as Iggy Toma gives a highly enjoyable voice performance for all characters, including the women's voices. I always sink into a story read by his voice and this is no exception.
The basic storyline is fairly simple but navigating from roommates to friends to lovers is complex. Milo is neurodivergent, on the autism spectrum. He strikes out on his own when his previously unknown-to-him grandmother passes away and leaves her bookstore to him. The shop next door and the one available apartment are rented by Gideon, a very hot, very sweet tattoo artist.
Those who enjoy sexual exploration should enjoy this. Milo knows he's gay but he and Gideon spend a lot of time teaching Milo all the sexual acts in person that he's previously only read about. Get the picture? Yes, it's hot. But it's also entertaining and enjoyable in other ways. The secondary characters play an important role and move the story along. I enjoyed it so much I zipped through it in only two days--quite fast for me for audios. If you plan to purchase this one, do so in audio. You won't regret the choice.

Loved Milo!!!
So, when this book was first released, I kept telling myself I was going to make time to read it. Well, life happens and I became overwhelmed with arcs, so I turned to the next best thing, audiobooks. And boy, was I so not disappointed!! This book was everything! It was hilarious, sexy, and diving into neurodivergent was definitely appreciated!
“𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗲, 𝗜 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻”
So Milo and Gideon were the epitome of perfection! Gideon’s patience with Milo’s quirks, along with his hesitancy regarding intimacy, filled my heart with so much joy. Not to mention Iggy did an amazing job of nailing Milo’s character performance just as I would have envisioned. The realism of these two, from their sexual exploration to their simple intimate moments, ten stars!!

Ok, I absolutely loved this book. The dialog was hilarious and quirky and I love the dive into nuero-divergence! Milo is an absolute breath of fresh air and Gideon and him just fit together in a total swoony way! And I love that this didn’t fit the typical romance stereotype of them hooking up. It felt very real! And obviously, Iggy Toma did amazing as always!!

Quirky romance
Where do we start with Milo, quirky, unique, neurodivergent, who is also the nicest, bluntest person you would want to know.
Then we have Gideon (Tattoo man). He's hot, tattooed and available, and hot.
Together you have the most honest friendship you could get, which is so refreshing.
Iggy Toma did a wonderful job at narrating these two, bringing them alive and had me smiling throughout the book.

A different lovestory
I fell in love with Milo from the first chapter. He is so perfectly different, vulnerable and strong in his own way. Gideon is his perfect match and he too fell in love right from meeting Milo, even if he didn't know it yet. Milo's character is refreshing and beautifully portrayed and I simply loved his complete honesty even if it got him in triuble sometimes.
Iggy Toma was the perfect narrator for this book. He gave life to all Milo's quirks and Gideons complete acceptance of them.

Brilliant!
I seriously could not put this book down! Such a character driven read, all of the people in this book felt real and I wanted to live in their world with them!
My heart swelled as I recognised Autistic/Neurodivergent/Spectrum traits Milo demonstrated that I possess and also shown in my loved ones - making me love this character (and identify with him) even more. Not only that, but I recognised the reactions he faced - which was surprisingly validating.
So not only is this a simply brilliant story, it can give back to the reader in unexpected ways - enriching our own lives and making us come out happier people at the end of it.
It's not even only about Milo - but the relationships built with the people of the town are magnificent and deeply ingrained histories are portrayed sensitively and with feeling. Everyone should read this book - it's as simple as that!

So sweet!
I don’t think I stopped smiling once throughout this book. While I wish Milo described himself as autistic more often because neurodivergent is too broad a term I loved his character so much. And Gideon with his piercings and tattoos? Yes. I could read this book over and over it was just so sweet and made me happy!

I really enjoyed this book. It had a lighter less emotional feel than other Riley Hart books I’ve read but still hit all the feels! I loved the characters and how Milo’s neuro diversity made him such an honest, kind, interesting & lovable guy. Hot tattooed Gideon was truly boyfriend goals!
Narration was excellent and the different characters were easily identifiable and unique
