About this listen

MM Interracial Romance

On a night out with his ex-wife and best friend, Lorie, Lawrence Reynolds is introduced to Mat Bailey and his life will never be the same again.

For the first time in his life, Lawrence has found someone he wants to spend the rest of this life with. However, he has a huge obstacle, he's never come out to his father. Lawrence is an MMA fighter, and his trainer and manager is his own homophobic father.

All his life he's had to hide his true self behind a façade, scared of his father's disapproval.

After messing up and hurting Mat badly by publicly denying their relationship, Lawrence will now be in for the fight of his life. Unfortunately, this one can't be won with his fists, and the reward is more valuable than a belt.

Coming out could win him the man of his dreams but lose him his father and his career.

Will he come out, fighting for love?

Contains adult scenes not suitable for under 18 years old.

Lawrence is a professional MMA fighter, trained by his homophobic and controlling father. Lawrence has gone to great lengths to stay in the closet, including marrying his BFF, Lorie, but when he meets Mat, things must change. This was a straightforward, heartfelt coming-out romance. I felt the story zipped along a bit fast, especially the resolutions, and could have gone deeper. I would have also liked more of the backstory between Lawrence and Lorie marrying and divorcing and a lot more of Mat’s backstory. 🎧 I liked Mitchell Pett’s regional UK accent and his handling of emotion, although I found his narration a little halting in places. I had to concentrate to distinguish between the names Lawrence and Lorie.

The story is always 4-5 stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook. I can't listen to an audiobook without knowing the book, that's not possible for me.

The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. It took me a little bit, to come into the narrator, but at the end, it worked. I only have to take a few breaks between. I'm just not yet finish with the book, I’m over the half, but I listen enough to give a review.

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!

To my ratings:

5* - very very good
it's like an A+

4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A

3* - it's more then a one-time-listening.
it's like a B

as good as the ebook

This is the first book I’ve read by JF Holland and the first audiobook I’ve listened to by Mitchell Pett. As a midwestern US gal, it took me a while to get used to the heavy accent used by the narrator but after a chapter or two, I didn’t have any problem understanding him. I’ve listened to a lot of narrators with all different kinds of accents and I usually don’t have any problems. I do think that his voice could have been a bit “crisper” which would have probably made him easier to understand from the get-go.

As for the story, I felt like there was too much repeating of information that we already had received. I do want to say that the story got better as it went along but the ending seemed somewhat unrealistic given the way Lawrence’s father was throughout the book; I felt his about-face happened a bit too quickly.

I probably wouldn’t relisten to this audiobook but I wouldn’t say no to listening to more by this author and/or narrator.

A complimentary copy of this audiobook was provided to me at my request but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author and/or narrator.

Not bad.
