About this listen

I found a little notebook, but it isn't the address book I was looking for. It's a...it's a journal. I kept a journal! I begin to read, and the first date goes back to less than three years ago - I read things that don't make sense.

I love him so much! I don't think I could've survived what I did to my mom if it wasn't for him. He is always there for me and thank God for that.

I move a few pages down to a later date's entry and find more comments about a man. A man I supposedly love.

The therapist wants me to tell him about my past, but how exactly do you tell the man you love that your mother is dead because of you? How do I tell the man I love that the reason I refuse to call my dad is because of the shame and guilt I've been carrying around?

I stop reading. So many questions are making my head hurt. What did I do that killed my mom? Who the hell is he? Could it be Scotland? He often acts as if he loves me, but I still think he's keeping secrets from me. Who can I trust after the accident that took my memory away?

Is he really just my roommate?

Meant to Be Gay is a gay story with mature content intended for 18+. This story mentions mental illness and suicide.

The friends to lovers trope is one of my favorites in the romance genre, but this one gives it a really fresh new twist due to Mason's amnesia. Here, we have a lovers to friends to lovers story that is both heartbreaking as we watch Scotland have to hide what he and Mason are to each other, all the while supporting him all he can in his recovery. Their new relationship develops in a lovely fashion and J. R. Pyfferoen does a magnificent job of portraying all the emotional ups and downs of the story.

A beautiful love story.
Mason and Scottland have been in an established relationship for some tome.
When Mason is injured, it has devastating consequences.
As they struggle through to get beck some semblance of their previous life, it's heartbreaking to see them both suffer.
Their HEA is hard fought for and absolutely deserved.
J. R. Pyfferoen is a new narrator for me and I absolutely enjoyed his work.

Super addition by Lara Hale. Mason and Scotland are interesting characters and it was a joy to follow their story. RJ Pyfferoen did a great job with the narration. Hope to find many more stories by Lara Hale on Audible.

This is such an emotional story. Mason is in an accident and loses his memory. Since he is engaged to be married that makes things a little hard for Scotland his fiancée. Scotland is waiting for Mason’s memory to return and things get a little painful. Mason feels Scotland is keeping secrets. Scotland just wants to help Mason and things get a little edgy. The narration by J.R. Pyfferoen brought these two characters to life. I feel the audio version gives the story so much more depth.

Hard to imagine what it would be like

New-to-me author and new-to-me narrator.

An awful lot is crammed into this book, despite the audio being just under 4.5 hours (including epilogue and bonus chapter).

Both characters have endured a fair bit of trauma, including abuse and amnesia. The main plot points are sometimes overwhelmed by background information and other times aren’t as fully developed as they could be, due to cramming in a lot of sex scenes. I’m a sucker for a good amnesia storyline and this one definitely has its strong points, but I guess from the blurb, I was expecting …more. More development of the memory-based storylines and more details about coming to terms with losing part of your life’s memories.

That being said, there are plenty of emotional scenes that seem to have been well crafted. Lots of feels.

But on the other hand, the relationship between Mason and Scotland often falls in the too-good-to-be-true camp, with an awful lot of mushiness and I love you’s and limited relationship conflict.

Nevertheless, mostly entertaining listen.

Easy listen with emotional moments
