About this listen

The best-selling gay romance novel that will leave your heart shaken!

Love, like everything in the universe, cannot be destroyed. But over time it can change.

The hot Texas nights were lonely for Ben before his heart began beating to the rhythm of two words; Tim Wyman. By all appearances, Tim had the perfect body and ideal life, but when a not-so-accidental collision brings them together, Ben discovers that the truth is rarely so simple. If winning Tim’s heart was an impossible quest, keeping it would prove even harder as family, society, and emotion threaten to tear them apart.

Something like Summer is a love story spanning a decade and beyond as two young men discover what it means to be friends, lovers, and sometimes even enemies.

Like a lot of gay stories I’ve read, everyone is perfect looking and have their happy ending. It was well written and well narrated.

Nice story but far from the best

I Enjoyed listening to this book very much, the story line was long and at first I feared Id tire of such a long book, I normally like books around 6-7 hours for a weeks worth of listening, But this story help me from start to finish, I couldn't stop listening until it was over. The Troubles and limits these boys go through, and then as heartbreak destroys one relationship...its emotional, and as a Straight Women, the story is so compelling to listen to. I think the issues same sex couple deal with was portrayed well in this book and many will find it a good story.

Back and Forth Love...

This was a great book, whether you can appreciate the struggles of same relationships or not, this book captures the struggles of young adult relationships. It's twists, tears and smiles make it one of the best stories I listened to. There are times I caught myself giggling, smiling like a idiot and getting misty eyed while listening.

Kevin Free was a great narrator, giving distinct voices to each other character and smoothly reading some of the more passionate scenes without any awkwardness. Will definitely check out it's sequels.

A excellent coming of age of book

This was everything I knew it would be, and sometimes exactly what I wished it wouldn't be. A love story that took you on the roller coaster the synopsis promised. This was a great story that I would recommend to every gay or bisexual guy.

A story to remind you of love
