Story
It turns out making out with my best friend in high school could be considered gay. Who knew? Apparently, everyone but me. Now that it's been pointed out, I can't help reliving it in my head. Repeatedly. Good-bye Denial Town, hello Confusionville. When my path leads me down the gay dating app route, I don't expect to meet anyone I like, but then I meet him. He can't be more opposite than me. He's smart, he hates hockey, and he identifies as demi - something I've never heard of. Yet I can't deny something's there.

Story
I see myself as mature and responsible for a 24-year-old - I have a steady job, a comfortable apartment, and eventually I’ll find the right guy to settle down with. Some might find this boring, but at least I know what I want. That is, until reconnecting with a childhood companion flips my preconceived notions upside down. Skylar was my first real friend - my first crush, too - and 12 years later, he’s still the same gorgeous and charismatic free spirit. I’m easily sucked back into his orbit, my protests futile when it comes to his amusingly harebrained ideas.

They were schooled and trained as rulers of their lands in preparation for the Golden Eclipse ceremony: a festival to celebrate a thousand years of peace and prosperity since the Great War. Crow, ruler of Northlands, a skilled swordsman and expert tactician, is as reclusive and stoic as the mountains that surround him. Tancho has spent his life in strict discipline, governing the Westlands with a fair mind and gentle hand.

I'm not the obvious choice to run Burlington's coolest wine bar - quiet, brooding, clueless about tannin content, and always one wrong turn away from another downward spiral. But no one seems to mind that I'm a wreck. Besides me. I just focus on getting through each shift until the night a beautiful stranger appears, looking as lost and damaged as I feel.

The captain spot is going to a team vote. And the team thinks that what we need are a bunch of challenges to prove our worth.

"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.

Imprisoned pickpocket Loth isn't sure why a bunch of idiots just broke into his cell claiming they’re here to rescue the lost prince of Aguillon, and he doesn’t really care. They’re looking for a redheaded prince, and he’s more than happy to play along if it means freedom. Then, his cranky cellmate Grub complicates things by claiming to be the prince as well. Now, they’re fleeing across the country, and Loth’s stuck sharing a horse and a bedroll with Grub while imitating royalty, eating eel porridge, and dodging swamp monsters and bandits.
Publisher's Summary
Pursuing your best friend's dad is never a good idea, but Cameron Motel is feeling reckless. His life is about to change, and Luke is older, attractive...and he represents something Cameron has never had before.
Stability.
Luke didn't mean to get involved with his son's best friend, but Cameron needed a strong hand and Luke was willing to deliver on his promises.
This thing between them is supposed to be a secret, but something as big as love can't stay hidden for long. Then a single phone call sends Cameron farther away from home than he'd ever planned to go, and Luke's subconscious keeps him grounded in the past unable to move on.
Cameron is gone, and to get him back Luke needs to do something big, something bold, something...reckless.

A sweet medium angst, opposites attract, age gap romance!
This was a sweet age gap opposites attract romance.
Evan Carolina performed an amazing audio delivery and narration and really brought the characters to life.
I was blown away by his ability to project different characters do well.
It was truly a transcendent experience listening to his narration.
The author does an amazing job of creating such beautifully flawed characters who are perfect in their own way.
The characters are complex, well fleshed out and so very real.
The writing style was enjoyable and compelling.
Definitely recommend this if you like a sweet contemporary age gap, taboo romance.
I am definitely looking forward to listening to the next in this series!

Age Gap / Best Friends Father
This was a wonderful age gap / best friends father romance. Evan Carolina performed an amazingly and it was so great to hear a new voice that was young enough for the younger MC but also strong enough for a 40 yr old.
Kate Hawthorne has never let me down on her ability to write such fabulous stories.
The characters are complex, well fleshed out and so very real.
I have read this series but I am definitely looking forward to listening to the rest.

Hmmmm..... what to say
I enjoy a good MM story, especially some BDSM and age disparity. Kate Hawthorne has all these elements in her story, but the whole, the gestalt, misses that mark which makes a good book for me. I’m not sorry I spent a credit since the book kept me entertained while taking care of my daily tasks. I wish I could explain more clearly what was lacking.

I don't think AMAZING covers it.
I'd already read this entire series, so when author Kate Hawthorne announced it would be moving to an audiobook I was nearly vibrating with excitement. And then came the clips and samples of this narrator hired... Evan Carolina BLEW ME AWAY. Audiobooks in general are fairly hit and miss with me, regardless of the voice, some narrators legitimately sound like robots reading. Not Evan Carolina, nope. Not only is his voice smooth and soothing, but he brings these characters to life in a way that is truly unique to this story. Bratty teenage son? Nailed it. Controlled Dom? All over that sinfully deep timber. Shy, yet curious sub with a tinge of brat? You guessed it, PERFECTION.
Reckless is the story of Mr. Alexander (which will only be heard in my head as Evan purring from now on) and his son's best friend, Cameron as they explore the angst of an age-gap, somewhat forbidden relationship with BDSM elements. The story was HOT, full of steam, tender moments, and so much swoon I nearly melted. Add in Evan's voice and it was one of the best audiobooks I have ever listened to. I cannot wait for the rest of this series to come to Audible. Not only have I found a a renewed love for this series, but I have now found another narrator to add to my one-click list when partnered with my favorite authors.

An incredible, emotional romance
I adored the Kindle version of this book, and listening to Evan Carolina bring Luke and Cameron to life was even better! If I ever had doubts about how snarky Cam was, the way Evan narrated him cleared that up in a hurry. His brash, determined pursuit of Luke in the beginning made me smile, and I loved how hot their chemistry was right from the start. Luke was understandably hesitant to pursue something with a much younger man, but wow was it satisfying when the two of them came together. Kate writes the most incredible sex scenes, and listening to every vivid detail was mind-blowing in the extreme. What started out as a strictly physical relationship quickly turned into a hazy middle ground of unspoken feelings. There were so many reasons for Cam and Luke to not be together, and the unexpected reveal of their relationship certainly didn't help.
I love how complex and emotional this book was. Luke and Cam experienced loss, change, and self discovery all in a short period of time. Their reactions weren't always perfect; sometimes they had misunderstandings and hurt each others' feelings. They didn't always make the best decisions, but underneath it all was a deep layer of intimacy and warmth that tied Luke and Cameron together when the world tried to force them apart. Even when Luke doubted that he could give Cam what he deserved, even when Cam was lost and so desperately lonely that he lashed out at Luke, they didn't give up on each other. At the end of the day, Luke and Cam made choices and sacrifices to be together. Their happily ever after was hard fought and well-deserved.
