About this listen
Jon has yearned for a man’s touch for as long as he can remember. Now two younger men are about to bring his fantasies to life.
Jon Walters is a mess. He’s 38. His roommates are 18 and 20. It’s never gonna work. But Lord, he wants it to.
He’s spent years hiding his sexuality. Denying his desires. Guys don’t come out at my age - do they? Except he did come out once - and went right back in again. How does he explain all this to Del, his brother? That’s a conversation Jon is dreading. Del is the only family Jon has left, and he’s going to be hurt. Angry. Not to mention, there are secrets Jon does not want to share.
And then there’s Chaz and Kendis. Wasn’t falling for one guy enough of a challenge? I had to fall for both of them? And what the hell do they see in me? Because they’re not making it easy for him to say no.
Whichever way he looks at it, Jon’s life just went way beyond complicated....
This is the final book in the Southern Boys trilogy, and it deals with characters introduced in book book, Pride & Protection. Yes, you could listen to it as a stand-alone, but listening to the previous book is recommended.

The first book Truth & Betrayal stands alone, but I recommend reading the three books in order as the characters from Pride & Protection and Desire & Denial overlap.
Okay, so I really liked Del in the second novel, but his younger brother Jon was a mystery. He seemed closed off and a bit of a grump. Turns out Jon’s story is quite moving, and we get all the details in Desire & Denial.
Jon’s partners Chaz and Kendis have good stories too, and the way these three men heal each other is well done. There’s great chemistry between each pair, and when all three come together, oh yes, it’s smokin’ hot. Jon had no idea how taking up with these young guys would change his life!
And speaking about changes, I really like thinking about the changes this diverse group of characters brings to the small Tennessee town. The messages K.C. Wells includes about tolerance and acceptance are poignant and timeless, and simply can’t be repeated often enough.

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.

This is the third book in the Southern Boys series. While it can be read as a standalone, you will better understand the characters if you read book two first. The whole series is so good that I really recommend reading all three books in order for best enjoyment.
This is one hot story with two very horny young virgins and one older virgin who gets lured into their web and never wants to get out. I think the chemistry between Jon, Chaz and Kendis is off the charts. Jon has a lot to think about because he's been keeping secrets and he knows that coming out of the closet won't be easy – especially to his brother whom he should have told a long time ago.
Chaz, Kendis and Jon get a HFN but it's one that left me feeling confident that their relationship will last. I'm really sorry to see this series come to an end but maybe K.C. Wells will come up with more for them in the future.
A complimentary copy of this audiobook was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author and/or narrator.
Even better as an audiobook!

🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, John Solo is a wonderfully talented narrator and voice artist. He brings these characters to life, humanizes them giving each their own distinct voice making it easy to follow along and tell who is who. His portrayal of the characters is spot on, he takes each role and makes it his own and grasping their persona as well as all their emotions which is projected into his performance. He is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another outstanding listen🎧

Jon has been hiding for his whole life. And now he has not one, but TWO men after him. But Chaz and Kendis can't possibly want an old man like him, can they?
What I particurlarly enjoyed about this book was, it was a 3 way awakening. Chaz and Kendis are young, and they haven't been with anyone. Chaz is far more forward about what he wants and WHO he wants, but Kendis catches on real quick. When these two both trun their sights on Jon, the man doesn't stand a chance! But it really is a chance he wants to take. And take it he does!
It takes time for the three of them to finally . . .FINALLY. . . get together, but it certainly is worth the wait! So beautiful when Jon gives in to his needs, when he makes the decision to think about himself for once, and the world can wait til tomorrow. When Jon eventually manages to pluck up courage to tell his brother, Del (Pride and Protection, book 2) that he is gay and that he has embarked on something that could be amazing, you feel for Jon, but for Del too. It could have all gone so terribly wrong for Jon but it doesn't, and I loved that.
Jon Solo narrates.
I loved the narration here. His voices for all three guys, I thought, were spot on. Jon's much older, mature voice is a marked difference to Kendis and Chaz, the youngest of the three. Solo gets over all of that youth and excitment that Chaz has, all the dawning realisation that Kendis has and every bit of desire and denial that Jon puts himself through!
Solo's reading voice is deep and even, and I found myself stopping what I was doing, to just listen, you know? Usually I putter around the house but I had to stop and sit and just listen to Solo tell the beautiful story of three men falling in love.
Thank you, Ms Wells, for my copy.
