About this listen

Why are the hot guys always straight?

Gus is off men, thanks to his jackass of an ex. He’s put his focus on becoming Boston’s first amputee paramedic and doesn’t care that his new rookie partner wants the same job. Or that the straight, married dad is all wrong for him.

Madoc never imagined having to restart his career. But he’ll do anything to make a better life for his daughter, even if it means reporting to a hotshot who wants the job Madoc deserves. A guy Madoc can’t stop thinking about no matter how hard he tries.

The partners strike up a friendship, supporting each other after Gus is injured and Madoc’s ex-wife abandons the family. But when crushes become real attraction and Gus bonds with Madoc’s child, will Madoc be ready to stop playing it straight?

Listened to the audio of this one. The narrator does a good job but sometimes I wish his voices were more distinctly different.
I love Gus, he is a bundle of sunshine. Uber-positive despite all the hardship he's gone through losing his friend, his leg, his lover, and his money.
Madoc took me longer to like. He was quick to anger or take offence and just when I thought things had settled down he completely overreacted for no reason. But seeing him with his kid you see a whole new side of him and when Gus becomes his kid sitter that's when the story really took off for me.
In the end this was a lovely romance that moved effortlessly from colleagues, to friends, to friends with benefits and finally to a HEA.

Story: Great contemporary story with genuine characters and real - life struggles a reader can easily identify with. I loved how the author approached the story and the complicated emotions the MCs navigated on top of growing attraction. A great book!
Performance: I liked it! Don't know the narrator well, but I enjoyed this performance a lot.

Genuine and relatable

My first book by this author, I wasn't sure what to expect from this audiobook. What I got was a heart-warming, at times heart-breaking, sweet family going through hard times, a wild Gusberry looking for his own fam & new place to belong, and a very bumpy ride when their two paths collided. While not usually a fan (at ALL) of the 3rd act break-up, this one needed to happen, for all involved. This story has a lot of heart, humor, self-discovery, and growth, both together and apart, for pretty much all involved. Gus & Mad's relationship is a mix of rivals/friends to lovers, and while it's a weird mix of tropes, it totally worked for them, and was exactly what they needed in their lives at the time. Val, of course, stole the show.
Kevin Earlywine's narration brought the story & characters to life beautifully. His performance caught the heart-felt emotions, laughter, & love in the author's words, and conveyed them all straight to the listeners' hearts.

Love Gus and Val!

K. Evan Coles pens another fabulous novel, a rivals-to-lovers MM romance, set in her wonderful “EMS Station 1” series. This second book in the series is Gus Dawson and Madoc Walters’ story, a story that stands on its own and, like the first book, it captivates your attention and tugs at your heartstrings the entire time. Gus, a former firefighter who lost his leg during a call, never gave up on himself, redirecting his passion for fighting fires and saving people to become a paramedic. Madoc Walters is restarting his career and is the rookie EMT at Station 1, working with Gus, who will watch over him. Madoc makes it known he knows what he is doing and his goal is to become a paramedic, the same job Gus is aiming for. Instant rivals, they do not hit it off well on their first days, but as time goes on, they become friends, a friendship that turns into something so much more. Madoc is a single dad of a wonderful little girl, Valerie, a scene stealer and a stealer of hearts, because she not only stole Gus’ heart but she stole mine too. Both these guys have relationship woes in their past, with Madoc’s more current and complicated relationship with his ex, Val’s mother, who has issues dealing with her own demons. Gus is a complete sweetheart and probably the best thing that happened to Madoc, though it took him a while to figure it all out. This wonderfully written story has multiple layers, great plotting with a perfect balance of drama, angst, heartwarming moments, heartfelt emotions and a slow burn, but worth the wait romance. The world building, character growth and development are fantastic too. K. Evan Coles, thank you for another wonderful story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 Another fabulous listen performed by Kevin Earlywine, who did a wonderful job bringing these characters to life, giving each a voice that was fitting and believable. His portrayal of the characters was spot-on, grasping each of their personalities completely, from the two leads, Gus and Madoc, to the adorable Valerie, perfecting each role. He set the ideal tone for the story, and his expressive performance conveyed all the characters’ emotions, making you feel them all. Earlywine is an entertaining storytellers and his enthralling performance not only hooks you to the story, but it takes the story to another level.

Audiobook - very good narration.
Story - a well written story throughout, with a good plot and interesting characters. Gus was a particularly impressive character, Madoc mostly didn't deserve him. Madoc's daughter Val was definitely the highlight of the story.

very good
