About this listen
One regular guy who happens to be a preacher....
Reverend Dr. Gabe Samson doesn’t think he’s better than any of the people in his church, so please don’t put him on a pedestal. While he’s never hidden the fact that he identifies as bisexual, he’s never acted on it either. Gabe isn’t happy to learn that the sole reason he was hired to pastor the LGBT-friendly church was that the ruling elders wanted a safe poster child for inclusivity - in other words, they wanted the rainbow flag without letting it fly.
Plus one easygoing, new-age kinda guy....
Seth Thomas owns Holistic Healing, a metaphysical shop and yoga studio. He’s never really been a relationship kinda guy, but only because he hasn’t met the right man yet. Seth is laid back and goes with the flow. When fate drops a hot preacher in his lap, why wouldn’t he accept the gift?
Equals a pair of men who click from the start.
The two men find it almost too easy to get together, especially Gabe, who is fully embracing his bi side for the first time. Nothing in life is simple though. While Gabe and Seth are busy falling in love, they face an anti-gay hate group, a divided church, and a ruling elder who is hell-bent on sowing discord. Between Gabe’s patient wisdom and Seth’s snark, the pair fight the growing drama with the strongest weapons in their arsenal: love and humor.

The relationship between Seth and Gabe is wonderful to witness as two quite different men come together with an obvious attraction and connection between them. Whilst Gabe is a pastor at the local church, it is an LGBTQIA+ inclusive church and he is not one to push religion onto anyone. As someone non-religious, it made for easy reading, no turn off throughout as I enjoyed every aspect that Susan covered, with Seth promoting crystals and their healing powers in his yoga studio too.
The main story line of the book actually brings our MC's and the community together which is wonderful to read, as well as an important event for one of our previous couples. We get a lot from characters from previous books as well as introductions to new people. There's a lot of entertainment but also support and love that shines through in character interaction and the important moments.
Michael, yet again, knocks it out of the park with his narration. One of my favourite things is the variety of voices that Michael Pauley is able of creating and holding across a series. He's capable of bringing a smile to my face or a tear to my eye, perfectly conveying emotion regardless of the situation and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this outing. Cannot wait for the next one!!
Fun, flirty with a strong story line

The narration by Mr. Pauley is well done. He has really good timing/pacing and and is great with the characters. A good way to experience the story.

Although this is the third book in the series it can certainly be listened to on its own. The characters from the previous two books do make an appearance but I did not feel I was missing anything information. I will say that after listening to the other characters I really want to know them and their story so I will be catching up with both books asap.
I love Michael Pauley’s narration. He gives the story such vitality and spirit. Each character has their own personality which he gives such vivacity to. A pleasure to listen to.
Love triumphs

I'm loving this series!!
I loved Susan approach to an openly bisexual reverend! She's taken great care to craft this story and it shows in these great characters and how they face the hatred, bigotry and homophobia poising their town, Gabe's church, and their lives.
Gabe happens to be bisexual and happens to be a pastor. He finds himself hired as a poster boy for inclusivity in the LGBTQ community of his small town but is 'encouraged' not to act on his bisexuality or he may no longer be the pastor. After this ridiculous shock, an adorable kismet of events happens and Gabe finds himself quickly falling for Seth. Seth's a fun and cheeky yoga teacher and Gabe and Seth are great together! I loved their banter, sexy times and strength and they stand together to face the new bigotry that has risen in town.
I really enjoyed seeing familiar faces around town and learning more about the other awesome characters. I'm loving this series and look forward to many more stories in the Lovestrong series!
As ever Micheal's narration is perfection!! Brilliant dialects, characterizations and story flow. Although I must his voice for Larry is a bit painful to listen to. It's so different from all other voices I've heard Micheal bring to life that I can't imagine how he managed such a deep throaty voice without hurting himself. I'm interested to see if he kept up this voice for the entirety of Larry story, as I think that would be an extraordinary feet!!
Susan and Micheal are a perfect match and this series in a winner for me!!
Thanks for reading!
