About this listen

Gideon

When my marriage fell apart, and I lost custody of my kids, my world shattered. My own fault, all of it, from the pills I was taking to how badly I handled the court case. I retreated to my grandparents’ old home, shut the door, and hunkered down with my Labrador Retriever, Lucky. Life is rough, and the constant construction noise from the mansion going up next door will truly be the end of me.

Archer

I've never met the man living next door until a storm forces me to take refuge with him. Gideon's skittish, generous, and oddly endearing. I’m dismayed the construction of my post-divorce home has been so upsetting for him, but there’s little I can do to ease that distress. What I can do, though, is use my skills as a talented divorce attorney to help with the most painful part of his life, the unfair custody arrangement that keeps him from being with his kids.

Gideon’s Gratitude is an small-town, opposites attract, hurt-comfort gay romance about a former longshoreman who believes he’s broken and the lawyer who believes there’s life after divorce.

Story: I liked the MCs the author created in this story - their backgrounds were intriguing and unique. The plot however lacked some more angst for me - for how complicated the story seemed, it all felt a wee bit too easy for my taste,
The writing was good and I liked the cast of characters, guess it's just my personal preference for more grit with characters like these.
Narration: Good performance. Easy to follow, with good distinction between the characters.

Good story with interesting characters

Gideon's Gratitude is the fifth book in Gabbi Grey's addicting Love in Mission City series. You can read these books in any order, but characters from previous episodes do pop up now and again. I've read them all but I think you'd be fine with reading the Love in Mission City stories as standalones.

If you have a chance, check out Archer's Awakening: A Love in Mission City Short Story which is a prequel and also available in audio. It is a nice intro to Archer's character. You'll want Gideon's Gratitude downloaded and ready to go if you do though!

This is a real hurt/comfort romance for both men, and it was a total pleasure to watch these two find their happily ever afters.

The audio version of Gideon's Gratitude is nicely performed by Michael Dean.

I enjoyed the listen. I liked the story, and the narrator did a good job. I’d recommend especially when in the mood for a lighter insta story.

The houses here, seemed an excellent metaphor for the attitudes of the men living in them. Gideon had retreated to a fully built house to hide after a traumatic divorce and its aftermath. Archer builds a new house and begins a new life, post-divorce. When these two finally meet and begin to learn about each other, it turns out each one's strength is just what the other needs. Archer's skill as a lawyer and confidence that he can make things happen and the quiet comfort Gideon can provide. These two make a wonderful couple. Michael Dean did a wonderful job of bringing these guys to life. He showed Archer's skill, competence and confidence without arrogance and let us feel that confidence seeping into Gideon. In turn, we feel Gideon grounding Archer.
