Story
Beau was devastated. After the worst day of his life, Caleb, the kindhearted and beautiful man he loved, had left him for good. Beau was now at the end of his rope - and the bottom of his last bottle. With trouble following him everywhere he went, he guessed it was only a matter of time before he turned into his messed-up dad, alone and yearning for a love he foolishly let slip through his fingers.

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.

Story
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.

Turns out I’ve also inherited a sexy, tattooed guy who not only rents the space next to my store but my apartment too. 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. According to Milo, we’re bestie goals.

I've been in love with my best friend since forever. Okay, fine. Like, kindergarten. It started out platonic, obviously, but then became.... Nope. Still platonic. The problem is that Parker Ellis has been straight since forever. And that makes it difficult to convince him that the two of us are meant to be together. And now, there's no point. All is lost. He's gone and gotten engaged to his high-school sweetheart - which means I have to grin and bear it, while pretending to be the happy, supportive best man, while he prepares to commit his life to a woman.

"Look out for Zach, and don't hit on him." My brother's request sounds easy enough. Keep an eye out for his best friend on campus and keep my hands to myself. Easy. Even if Zach is a quintessential nerd, who I've always thought was cute, I don't have the time to think with my...stick. There's only one stick I should be focused on this year, and that's my hockey stick. My goal once I graduate is to get an NHL contract. The last thing I need is a distraction. On or off the ice. Only, keeping to the rules is harder than I thought it would be.

As social chair of Sigma Beta Psi, I’m the life of the party. It’s what I’m known for, and if it’s not fun, I’m not interested, simple as that. I’m not someone who overthinks. So, when one of my brothers hooks up with a dude from another frat house, it catches me off guard when I can’t stop thinking about them…together. There’s only one way for me to get this obsession out of my head, and that’s by jumping in with both feet and putting it into practice.

Military life is all I’ve known since I was born. But when a top-secret mission fails, I find myself suddenly discharged with nowhere to go. Mike Bravo saved my life, and they want me to join them, but there’s one small problem. Isaac “Iris” Griffin. He’s as irresistibly snarky as he always was, only there’s a big difference this time. I’m no longer closeted or scared to live my truth. And the truth is, I’ve always wanted him. It’s against Mike Bravo’s rules to fraternize with other team members. But something tells me Iris might be worth the insubordination.

Payne. In search of: Room to rent. Must ignore the patheticness of a 40-year-old roommate. Preferably dirt cheap as funds are tight (nonexistent). There’s nothing sadder than moving back to my hometown newly divorced, homeless, and lost for what my next move is. When my little brother’s best friend offers me a place to stay in exchange for menial duties, I swallow my pride and jump at the offer. I need this. I also need Beau to wear a shirt. And ditch the gray sweatpants. And not leave his door ajar when he’s in compromising positions...

He’s not really a Marian or a Wilde despite having DNA ties to both. So every morning before the rest of the family wakes up and fills Rockley Lodge with holiday merriment (and noise), he escapes to the quaint downtown of Aster Valley where he spies a man through the bakery window kneading dough and dancing to music only he can hear.

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.

I’m a SEAL. Or rather, I was. Retired at the grand old age of 38, I’m at loose ends. My best friend wants me to join his security team. I’m not sure I’m bodyguard material, but he needs someone to protect his kid brother. How hard can spoiled brat duty be? Somehow, I missed the part where former child star Danny Love went from dorky TV darling to all grown up and disturbingly attractive. All the gossip about his wild ways fails to mention that he’s trying hard to clean up his act.

Sometimes love is where you least expect it, and sometimes it's right where you left it in this witty, slow burn-to-steamy friends-to-lovers MM romance. Widower, Max Hartwell, is barely keeping it together, being a single dad, managing his law firm, and navigating life's chaos. Life after loss is too difficult for surprises, which is why Max would be lost without his reliable best friend and neighbor, Jack.

My new stepbrother is insufferable. You'd think it wouldn't matter since I won't be here for long, but this guy gets under my skin like no one ever has. All-American, baby-faced, blue-eyed band dork and star soccer player. Everything about him is the picture of perfection—unlike me. I don't think Do Gooder knows I'm starting senior year late. And he definitely doesn't know why. I've got secrets I'm taking with me to the grave.

Publisher's Summary
Vann, the gorgeous, leather-jacket-clad new bad boy in school, just set his eyes on me.
I'm not really good at making friends. That's simply a fact. I'm happy enough if I can just get through the school day, avoid eye contact with anything that breathes, and make it home where my family can continue ignoring my existence and I can play video games in peace.
But then he crashes into my life like a tidal wave. The hot new senior at Spruce High. The bad boy everyone can't stop talking about. The one with the leather jacket, smoldering eyes, and cloud of danger following him. The one called Vann.
My whole life changes overnight. Now, I want different things. I want an end to my lonesomeness. I want to stand up to the jocks who keep pushing me around.
But most importantly, I want to know what Vann's lips taste like. And why he looks pained every time his dark eyes catch mine in class. And why he keeps paying attention to me when the rest of the town doesn't. And why every time I open my mouth to speak, my racing heart chokes me.
I don't know what's coming for me in my last year at Spruce High, but I sure hope I'm ready for it.
Contains mature themes.

What just happened!?!
I Loved the job the narrators did trying to bring this story to life. I enjoyed other books in this series but, this ONE was so long and drawn out. Hot attraction between the main characters but, it never really got HOT.. the sexy scenes were so dull. I did finish and liked some of the plot but, idk how to explain what was wrong. I'm not sure it's worth the credit or your time to listen. 🤷🤦 The Best part of the Whole story is the Epilogue.

It happens before
Daryl is a master and this audiobook brings the story to life. This is truly a love story.
One of the things I like about this one is how the author takes his time with character development without being boring. There are times though where I find myself saying “get on with it.“
Enter the MCs, one a perceived bad boy, the other a victim of bullying and totally unsure of himself. I find myself at times losing patience with them but it adds to the conflict and helps propel the story forward.
For me, as much of a spoiler as this might be, is the appeal of hearing those three words before sex and it actually happens here. The MCs are together quite awhile before it moves beyond the make out sessions.
If you’re a beginner in the MM Romance genre, I highly recommend the Spruce Texas series, of which I think this one is the best. Sometimes I find myself laughing out loud, at others shedding a tear.

The good and the bad
Great story about Spruce, Texas. The performer who voiced Toby to life is great. The same cannot be said for the performer who voiced Van - pedantic and breathy are the kindest adjectives I can write. Despite that, it was great to visit Spruce again and I look forward to more from Daryl.

This is much more a romance than the other books.
I think this is the second best book in the series behind Wrangled. Banner's struggles with efficient endings crops up again. I also think Van's anger issues are a little overblown in their plot importance. (Van was routinely in the right). With that said Toby and Van are wonderful characters-they are probably the best realized characters in the series. They don't track any particular stereotypical pairing (i.e. they are both kind of nerds. they both are kind of rebels). Toby's anxiety and Van's temper are realistically realized; best their romance feels completely natural.
With that said-and I am not sure why this is, might be the age of the characters (? both are repeatedly asserted to be 18)-but the erotic content here is less explicit than the other books- the characters have sex but the description is chaste and reserved. If you are looking for erotica this isn't it. Again I'm not sure why Banner makes this choice-he is clearly comfortable writing explicit content based on his other works-but this novel's story is explicitly Toby's first relationship. It makes sense for the character to be less explicit esp. given his anxiety . (Van too is characterized as having trouble opening up). In context this choice works but I think I should note it.
Cooper who plays Toby gives the best full performance in the series. It takes a chapter or two to fully appreciate what Cooper is doing-Toby is bottled up and repressed at the start of the novel-because he is so subtle in how he let's emotion in to his voice.
This novel works really well with Wrangled.

THIS BOOK IS AMAZINGLY A MUST!
I don’t know where to start, BUT I loved the whole story and where it went! I’ve read every Spruce romance and it was definitely the best and the kicker! I honestly wish it wouldn’t be the last, especially because I wanna see Hoyt (side character) get his happy ending but I loved it completely and the creativity of this story had me smiling from ear to ear! It has made me fall in love with the development of all the characters and the town itself and truly inspired my life. It’s just a must read, sweet, sexy and dramatic in the best ways possible!

Spruce Texas
I’m a little disappointed in this one. I loved this whole series. I grabbed them as soon as they came out on audio and this one was no different. The steam level in this one was a 2 out of 10. The other books were an 8 of of 10. Big difference with this one and it was long like 14 hours I think it was.Van and Toby were ok but not as funny as the other couples from the previous books. Also the connection with the other characters wasn’t there. I guess I was bored with this one and although I finished it, I couldn’t wait for it to be over.

Rebel without a cause fights for love
Grrr. Like the Star Wars movies, the first three books in this series are my favourites and we shall never speak of this book or the last one again. Openly gay, Toby has been systematically bullied by Hoyt and his cronies forever until rebellious bad boy and new student, Vann, befriends him. Quick to anger, Vann scares students and teachers alike and even Toby has his doubts. This started promisingly but the constant teen drama and Toby’s dumb decisions slowly eroded my good will. Bullying in high school was the last book’s theme, so I felt like we’d more than covered this ground, especially the “I only bully you because I love you” excuse. Yes, Freud theorised that homophobia was caused by latent same-sex feelings, but some people are just nasty bullies. I found the bullying scenes hard to take, I don’t think the trigger warnings were adequate. The dialogue sounded way too erudite for high school students, constantly describing Toby’s brother as a ‘mouth-breather’ was pretty mean, it got way too schmaltzy by the end, and why was the sex off-page? Audio narrators Chris Chambers and Cooper North were great but their voices were a little hard to tell apart - pairings in the first three books were better.
