Story
Milo. Unusual. Quirky. Different. I’ve heard it all. I’ve accepted I’m not for everyone. 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 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. And if he doesn’t wear pants at home, who am I to complain?

Story
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.

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.

Story
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.

Story
Get a personal chef, they said. It’ll be fun, they said. And then Thierry shows up and Pietro realizes his mistake. Because he knows Thierry. A little too well. Thierry is the man who told his ex to leave him. Thierry is the man who punched Pietro and ran. Thierry...is his ex-boyfriend’s best friend. But Pietro also knows the man needs a job. An injury destroyed his former career, and Pietro is nothing if not a bleeding heart. Besides, he doesn’t have time to search for a new chef, not with the World Series looming and his team ready to go all the way.

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.

In other words: He’s off limits. Impossible. But a day before the wedding, she calls it off, leaving Jaren with nowhere to go. So what’s a man to do? Well, offer Jaren a place to stay, of course. A shoulder to cry on. A bed to sleep in. And maybe someone to share that bed with?

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.

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.

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.

"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.

Publisher's Summary
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.
Best pitcher in the MLB, Jack Spears, is at the top of his game. He has it all, except for the one thing he wants most, which happens to be the one thing he can't have if he doesn't want his private life to overshadow his career: love. When an emotional evening reveals his biggest secret, he's faced with losing everything that matters most to him.
Can Max see him for the man he truly is, or will Jack forever be doomed to live in the shadow of the image he created as America's favorite pitcher?

Audio Perfection!
Wow I just loved this! I did the audio and it was just fantastic! I'm a huge Iggy Toma fan and he was fabulous as always, but Alexander Cendese was the standout here. This is hands down the absolute best narration I have ever heard from him. He was just so spot on, I could feel the emotion pouring out from him whether it be uncertainty, humor, lust, rage, he just brought it all. He was a joy to listen to.
This was such a wonderful romance between a closeted baseball icon and a widowed, straight, single dad. Jack and Max were so fantastic together as they raised 9 year old spitfire Emma in the wake of her mother's death. I laughed, I happy sighed, I got all mushy inside...it just made me feel good. It was a slow burn, friends to lovers romance that was filled with kindness, caring, true love and some fabulous sexual exploration scenes overflowing with intimacy and tenderness. I just loved all their first times!
Was it perfect? No. I struggled sometimes with Jack's insecurities. There was a lot of internal musings, especially early on, that got a little tiring, but the audio made that much easier to get through. Could it have been shorter without sacrificing story in my opinion? Yes, I found it dragging at times during the 13 1/2 hours. But it was such a feel good story that made me laugh and smile, happy sigh, and the epilogue was perfection. Plus the narration was sublime, truly a joy to listen to.

couldn't get past the weirdness
MC #1 is emotionally negative and needs anger management. the emotional wreck of a man's behavior was established well before the death of his wife. the psychological abuse he inflicts on his young daughter after the bathroom incident combined with the outright neglect of her needs as evidenced by the poker table scene was too much for me. add in the MC2's sexual fetish for enjoying the psychological and emotional abuse and relishing in the negativity he receives by MC1 and I'm going to pass. this is actually the first book I couldn't stomach and will never finish.

Absolutely wonderful story
This was a beautiful story that I'm so glad I read. It was a sweet story that at times was angsty and tragic but also very heart warming, a little funny and romantic with lots of steamy scenes. I was drawn in right from the start and couldn't put it down. These 2 men were so sweet and also alot of fun. They were both equally loveable characters and each developed wonderfully with their own tragic back stories. They had amazing chemistry and were perfect for each other. They are the perfect example of friends to lovers. I enjoyed their fun banter and teasing each other. There is every emotion in this story and really is all the feels. It was really well written. The pacing was wonderful. The relationship was developed perfectly over time. The plot kept me not wanting to put it down from start to finish. I did almost take off half a start cause there is a bit of drama near the end that I thought could have been handled a bit better by Jack but the rest of the book was just so sweet that I couldn't bare to take anything away from this story that is absolutely deserving of 5 stars.
The dual narration was enjoyable. They both expressed the emotions really well and brought the story to life. They both did the female and kid voices well and the side characters but when it came to differentiating between the 2 MCs I didn't notice a difference with either of the narrators. Cendese was a much faster speaker so I kept having to adjust the speed. Both did a good job but I preferred Cendese smoother voice and he seemed age appropriate and more what I pictured in my head. I actually thought his voice was what I would picture for Jack so I had to wrap my brain around the fact that he was reading Max's pov, which is the reason I didn't give it 5 stars but I did enjoy the reading.

Didn't go as long as I thought it would
It was a listen that took me through many emotions. I felt for both characters and just wanted to reach out to both at times.
Often when you read a book about a straight guy realising that maybe he isn't as straight as he thought the change can happen so quickly and without any angst. This was not the case with Max. You could see how much he fought it or had trouble accepting his feelings for Jack moving forward. It did seem more realistic to me.
Having said that I hated how much his actions hurt Jack and I cried for him. It was very emotional.
It is a long listen and I usually avoid ones this long. I often find they don't keep my attention. I'm a bit ADHD so it can be hard to do that. However, after saying that I had no trouble staying tuned in and was even sad when it finished. It is a slow burn, but not as slow as you might think.
The narrators did a great job. I'm not usually a fan of Alexander Cendese, but he did a good job with this one. Either that or I'm getting more used to his style. I love, love, love Iggy Toma and look for books narrated by him.
The only thing I'm really disappointed about is that there really aren't any other books by Dianna Roman to move on to. I hope she writes more soon and gets them narrated for us.
It was well worth the listen and one I know I will go back to over and over.
