About this listen
Archer
I've spent the last fifteen years becoming the most sought-after divorce attorney in Vancouver. I use every hidden fact and every psychological trick to protect my clients and get the best settlements possible. I have a wait-list for my services a mile long.
The problem?
I didn’t see my own divorce coming. My wife cheated on me and now I’m alone. I decided as long as I was rebuilding my life, this was the time to explore the bisexual side I'd shelved since college. And hell yeah, I do like men, but the idea of one-night stands leaves me feeling empty. Might the right person still be out there for me? Should I go back to dating women?
I just don’t know.
Archer’s Awakening is a 6k steamy gay romance short story about a man on the precipice of a new life yet struggling to leave his old life before.

The character was likeable and I liked his backstory. He intrigued me enough to read the next book.
He is 39 and is someone who is looking for a real connection but he's gorgeous and most people just want the physical, so even though he's bi, he hasn't been with anyone since his ex wife. He works hard as a lawyer and takes care of his family as well as works for free to help domestic violence victims. He was betrayed by his now ex wife that cheated on him after 15 years together. He is about to move to Mission City on weekends.
I love MD. His voice is wonderful to listen to. He kept a good pace and expressed all the emotions. There are very few side characters but he gave everyone thier own distinct voice that suited the characters. He really brought the story to life.
Great character development

Michael Dean provided a fantastic narration. He really captured the essence of the characters, making the story humorous without being OTT or campy.
My 5-star rating is based on the quality of the story for what it is, a short character background and introduction. I didn't dock any stars for it being short.

He is now free to explore his bisexuality fully, but after a failed attempt at a hookup in Vancouver, he decides to head to his soon-to-be country house escape in Mission City.
Is it necessary to read this prologue/character introduction first? Possibly not, but as the audiobook is less than an hour long, I found it a fun way to give us some character depth and backstory leading into the next full-length book. Plus, as it is narrated by Michael Dean, the audiobook is great for an afternoon listen!
