Summary
Matt Sullivan knows he met someone special the night he spots the sexy man on the dance floor. However, he doesn’t know his life is about to change forever. First of all, Matt is straight. Okay, maybe not, but he doesn’t think falling in love and spending the rest of his life with a hotheaded, unapologetically fabulous diva is an option.
Aaron Mendez is confident, smart, and very comfortable in his skin. He knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to go for it. And though he might have reservations about falling for someone newly out of the closet, no one has ever looked at Aaron the way Matt does.
Navigating a relationship has its challenges, but both Matt and Aaron are willing to deal with difficult parents, holiday blues, and learning curves. They know their happy ever after is worth fighting for and that true love is better than good.
No/low angst, sexy fun! This collection of short stories follows the lives of Matt and Aaron from my first novel, Better than Good. The end of one chapter is the beginning of a whole new story, from ordinary everyday life to an engagement, a wedding, and more. This collection is dedicated to Matt and Aaron fans, and those who believe that the real love story happens after the first “I love you".

Collection
This collection of novellas and stories about Matty and Aaron is best enjoyed after at least book one of the series for how the pair met.
Another solid performance from Nick J Russo as we are taken through the first I love yous to the next chapter of their lives after getting married.
High heat, a lot of sweetness and happy feels. I loved being back with Matty and Aaron again

Matt and Aaron
If, like me, you enjoyed the first book in the series and learned how Matt and Aaron met, then you will love this sequel. I was even more pleased when I found this collection as an audiobook.
In this collection of short stories, we learn more about the lives of Matt and Aaron, who are a very special couple. They have happy moments as well as difficult ones ahead, but they stand by each other and are there for each other. It was nice to follow the everyday lives of these two.
I enjoyed how Matt and Aaron met their families. The reaction of these was very different. There were ups and downs, vacations, an engagement and a wedding. In the process, Matt and Aaron evolved and I enjoyed the way these short stories were constructed yet interwoven.
Nick J.Russo brought Matt and Aaron to life with his pleasant voice. He delivered sad situations as convincingly as the happy mood at the wedding. An enjoyable audiobook that entertained me well and that I am happy to recommend.

A lovely way to reaqcuint myself with the series
I have read Matt and Aaron their first book a time ago. It was good to revisit them through a longer period of time with their daily things, highs and lows and also to get glinpses and sometimes a little bit more of the other couoples in the series.. I enjoyed that the author took the time to give us way more than the standard epilogue; there was fuether character and story development. I forgot how well crafted this series was and thislisten inspired me to go ahead and started listening to more of the series.
The narrator is on point and guided me through the whole bundle before I knew it.

A lovely group of stories x
I discovered Lane Hayes way back in 2013, when I read her first MM novel, Better Than Good. I totally fell in love with Aaron and Matt, and it's a love affair that's still ongoing. They're still so sweet together, their love just jumps out from the page. There's a teensy weensy bit of angst in this one, but no more than most couples face as they grow together. It was brilliant to meet up with Jay and Peter, Jack and Curt and Seth and Paul. Totally enjoyed, definitely better than good. Lovely narration, Aaron, Matt and their friends are brought to life. More please, Ms Hayes.
