About this listen

Professionally, Dr. Alec Johnson has almost reached his goals. As this year's recipient of a humanitarian award with his ex, Dr. Tyler Hall, Alec's work with the homeless is about to be recognized. Unfortunately, his personal life sucks because now he has to attend several events alongside Tyler - with his ex's new boyfriend in tow. In an attempt to lift his mood and break out of his rut, Alec purchases a motorcycle he has no idea how to start. Dylan Booth doesn't have time for Dr. Clueless and his fickle 1964 Harley, but the cocky mechanic can't say no to the request for help.

Having spent his teen years on the streets, and losing his best friend to HIV, Dylan decides teaching the do-gooder how to ride is the least he can do. But watching Alec flounder in his ex's company throws Dylan into protector mode, and the confirmed hetero introduces himself as Alec's new boyfriend. But Dylan's a master bullshitter, and the phony PDA soon turns ultra-hot. Alec can't afford to get attached, and Dylan's learned everyone eventually leaves. Unfortunately, playing the backup boyfriend is starting to feel way too real....

Contains mature themes.

The narrator is quite good as well. Make very chapter interesting to read.

So I already knew I loved the story and since I have been devoting audiobooks lately I decided to revisit this series because I have read it about 3 times over the years. Narration was solid. Story was as good as always!

This was a revisit of a book I had originally read

The narration was decent, took a bit of getting used to for me but no major issues here. Definitely had some laughs. This was sweet but a tad drawn out. I am looking forward to hearing Tyler's story next.

Decent but not a favorite.
