About this listen

If there was one thing Kevin knew, it was that his BFF’s ex was bad news.

Hank is arrogant, a sloppy drunk, and a complete flirt. And he didn't treat Kevin’s friend the way he deserved.

Enough said.

It doesn’t matter that everyone else has forgiven and forgotten what happened between Hank and Kevin’s bestie. He won’t let himself fall for the older man’s sweet words or endearments.

Especially not after...that night.

Getting ghosted by a guy Kevin wasn’t even really interested in—okay, he maybe sort of could have been, but definitely not now—was the final nail in the coffin. Just because Hank wormed his way into Kevin’s life and friend group, doesn’t mean Kevin has to give him the time of day.

Too bad Hank isn’t getting the message.

Banger is book two in best-selling author Kiki Clark’s Blue Collar Hearts series. It features an age gap, enemies (though not really, except yes because you annoy me so much, but why am I so attracted to you?) to lovers, clothes stealing, bookstore dates, apology BJs, and so much more.

It can be enjoyed as a stand-alone, but both main characters were first introduced in book one, Laying Pipe, so why not start from the beginning. *wink*

Trigger warning: mentions of off page parental alcoholism and off page alcoholism in one MC.

I would recommend reading book 1 first for context on the 2 MCs. Plus this book has updates on that couple.

I loved this book but I loved book 1 a little bit more. I love Daddy books and hurt/comfort tropes so this was the perfect read for me even though they don't formally have that kind of formal role relationship.

This was a sweet story. It was low angst aside from some minor, short-lived push and pull. I did find it low steam til the end but then it is super steamy with lots of kinky dirty talk. I was absolutely pulled into this story from start to finish and read it in one read. I loved that once the characters were together they had amazing chemistry but I had to leave off half a star because the characters were slightly off putting at the start due to previous book events but they did quickly grow on me and I loved them. I just thought the reasoning behind it all was silly and unnecessary.

Story: A story of growing - growing into oneself, growing as a part of a relationship and growing as a person altogether. I liked how the author shaped the characters and how their personal development was interwoven with the growth of their relationship. An interesting read for sure!
Narration: good performance, enhanced the storybwithout overpowering it.

Great characters!

Kiki Clark is a favorite of mine - her writing is fantastic and she always tells a wonderful story. Kevin and Hank have history that they just need to work out and I was waiting (and waiting) for Kevin to give Hank another chance. The sparks flew all the way through but once they got their act together it was explosive! Kirt Graves gives another stellar performance and brings these wonderful men to life.

Such a great listen!

These two have such great chemistry from the get go and add in some miscommunication, good old-fashioned back and forth and their story builds up to a bang 😉
I loved the growth, wit and forgiveness both Kevin and Hank allowed each other. Once they got out of their own way, everything slotted perfectly into place. I kind of wish we could have seen more, seen them adopt or have a kid and get married, go beyond their HFN and see more of what happens next...
I loved the teases of Ford's story and can't wait for his new discoveries!
I'm loving this series!!! More please.

Fun, sexy and meant to be!

I have read several books by Kiki Clark, but this was my first book in the Blue Collar Hearts series. You can read this book quite well as a stand alone.
I like Kiki Clark's writing style, which is easy-going with a touch of humor.
This book tells the story of Hank and Kevin. Hank has not always behaved well and while his friends have forgiven him for his behavior, Kevin has long held a grudge against Hank. There was a misunderstanding when they first met and basically I quite liked Kevin, but at first I couldn't quite understand his permanently dismissive attitude towards Hank.
However, after this was cleared up and Kevin was able to let his walls down, the story got better. Hank had a good sense of what Kevin needed and Kevin was able to engage with that. And after finding each other, you had to give them credit for being a really good match.
If you are looking for a sweet and sexy story with lots of feelings and a BJ or two, this is the book for you.

The audiobook was narrated by Kirt Graves and I really liked his performance. I like the way he narrates the story. He always finds the right pace and he has quite a pleasant voice.

A good listen
