About this listen

Losing a loved one can change a person, their outlook on life, and their reason for being...

Dane and Noah go through those changes together. Neither of them encouraged or expected what their future would bring, but they don’t regret their new normal.

When Dane’s girlfriend, Maranda, became pregnant during their summer break before starting college, Dane did what he felt any man should do in that situation, he gained a respectable job as a firefighter to provide for his girlfriend and their daughter, Sydney; he became dependable, not needing to rely on his parents or anyone else for help. After disowning his parents for their choice of disowning his gay, older brother, Noah’s life was blissfully simple. He was the manager of a hotel, and engaged to his best friend, Sydney, Dane’s daughter. As long as he had a good book to read, he was happy.

Life for Dane and Noah was set in stone; they knew who they were, who they loved, and where their lives were going. However, when tragedy strikes, their lives are upended and they have no one left...except each other.

Author note: Male/male romance, gay for you, can be listened to as a stand-alone. Contains sexual acts between consenting adults, strong language, light daddy kink, light dubious consent.

I’m always game to try new authors, and so I snagged this title and dove in. I adore Wyatt Baker, and I thought his narration was great. As always, he delivered a solid performance.

I’ll admit I didn’t read the blurb, and even if I had, I wouldn’t have been prepared for the depth of tragedy that Dane and Noah face. A person’s greatest fear. A person’s greatest regret. More so for Dane because part of it might’ve been predicted. Still the men are left mired in intense grief and there’s no one else who can understand the depth of pain – except each other.

That they turned to each other was foreseeable. What happened between them was not. I liked this unique take on gay for you. Even the daddy kink was cute. At times the villain felt a little overdone, but that’s a very small quibble. Overall, I enjoyed the book and I hope the next two come out on audio soon as well.

Interesting gay for you

I absolutely loved Dane and Noah's story.

This was definitely a different kind of romance.

There was hurt, comfort and so many feelings involved.

I loved their entire romance arc, however the daddy/boy kink didn't relate to me in their relationship dynamic.

However overall the narration was good and an enjoyable listen overall.

After a sad beginning, two men who loved two women look to each other for comfort.

This book has all the feels. These men go through so much loss and then turn to each other for company, a very slow burn as they do not know what they mean to each other. Not a bad book at all, I enjoyed it,

I liked Wyatt Bakers' narration. Although the pages being turned were very off-putting, I don't think I've ever heard it before by any narrator. However, I did speed up to 1.50 on audible, which is my norm.

This started as such a heartbreaking story. Both did what was expected of them and were living “normal” lives until one incident happens that upsets both of their lives. What they did to recover is where the controversy appears. Since they are friends they are doing what each tries to do for each other. This ends in something different than they expected. I really enjoyed this audio. There is so much emotion all through this story and it kept my attention. Wyatt Baker did a great job of bring the emotion to life. I’m anxious to see what is next in this series.

Both the author and the narrator were new to me.
I liked the story, it was something different, although it started out very sad. Noah and Dane suffer a terrible loss. They support each other and look to each other for comfort. But what happens when you feel more than comfort for your former father-in-law?
I liked both characters, found them sympathetic, and quickly became engrossed in the story. The development of Dane and Noah's relationship was beautifully described.

Wyatt Baker has a pleasant voice and he is a talented narrator. I enjoyed listening to him. However, it would have been nice if the recording studio had gone over the recording again, because the recurring sounds of pages being turned were quite distracting.
I will be on the lookout for more audiobooks by Wyatt Baker.

I requested a free copy of the audiobook and this is my honest opinion that I am volunteering
