Summary
Daniel Mulligan is tough, snarky, and tattooed, hiding his self-consciousness behind sarcasm. Daniel has never fit in - not at home in Philadelphia with his auto mechanic father and brothers, and not at school where his Ivy League classmates looked down on him. Now, Daniel's relieved to have a job at a small college in Holiday, Northern Michigan, but he's a city boy through and through, and it's clear that this small town is one more place he won't fit in.
Rex Vale clings to routine to keep loneliness at bay: honing his muscular body, perfecting his recipes, and making custom furniture. Rex has lived in Holiday for years, but his shyness and imposing size have kept him from connecting with people.
When the two men meet, their chemistry is explosive, but Rex fears Daniel will be another in a long line of people to leave him, and Daniel has learned that letting anyone in can be a fatal weakness. Just as they begin to break down the walls keeping them apart, Daniel is called home to Philadelphia, where he discovers a secret that changes the way he understands everything.

Perfect voice for a brilliant book
I've actually read this book before but when I was initially browsing Audible for my first audio book, I was recommended the second one. I wanted to refresh my memory and loved it the first time round.
I can honestly say that I loved it even more the second time around. A beautiful world is created by Roan Parish and his characters have such depth and an intense relationship. Robert Nieman's voice is perfect for it, I can just imagine this being Daniel's voice. It's so easy to listen to. I originally planned just to listen at work, but that was too slow for me so I ended up with it at dinner time and evenings too.
I can't wait to listen to the next book from Roan

The Sweetest, most believable gay romance I've listened too in years!
This book is an amazingly genuine, sweet and delightful story.
The plot is devoid of any predictable over dramatic events, which ruin many romances. Instead, the plot points are simple, effective, realistic and believable.
In the Middle of Somewhere feels more like a heartfelt memoir than a romantic fiction. I would genuinely love to believe that this is precisely how my love life would turn out.
The characters in the story have real depth and emotion and their reactions are realistic and well thought through, rather than the cringeworthy actions and speech that can often inflict the genre.
Any future audiobooks from Roan Parrish will be in my library as soon as I find them. I eagerly await more.
I would absolutely and completely recommend this book to anyone.

Excellent
Great story with some originality. Obviously quite sappy but very well narrated. I enjoyed the mix of characters and unrealistic plot but it did strike a chord.

Hot and sweet
Previously read and enjoyed the ebook and liked it on audio almost as much. While it was wonderful overall, the narration fell a bit short for me. There were odd pauses halfway through sentences, or between sentences that relate to each other, that separated what should be related points. It pulled me out of the story a bit. I’m editing my review on relistening to the ebook and I’m noticing the pauses even more. Even so, I’m still enjoying it and will probably listen again at some point. The story and characters are very sweet together, exactly what each other need, and their chemistry is hot.

Shame about the narrator
Fantastic story spoiled by the choice of narrator. I struggled through both books in the series - but could face re-listening to them, which I generally like to do. So monotone it took all the joy out of the book.

Ok
Loved the characters and the drama with Daniel’s family but ended up skimming some of the book. There is a sex scene in nearly every chapter, so if this is your thing, then you would love this book. I’m a plot/story kind of reader. I also loved that the book is told from single POV. Will read the next book because I’m hoping it will be Colin’s or maybe Will’s POV.
