About this listen
I came to Whispering Key for a job. That was all. To show the world Mason Bloom could be more than a small-town doctor living a medium-sized life.
Private doctor on a swanky island with a posh resort? Check.
But from the moment I set foot on this island, nothing went according to plan.
I didn’t expect to find the resort falling apart. I didn’t expect the people here to be so charming and crazy and welcoming and real. I didn’t expect legends about shipwrecks and buried treasure. And I definitely didn’t expect Fenn Reardon, the island’s incredibly attractive, incredibly infuriating, incredibly male resident tour guide, to become the one person I can’t live without.
Thirty-five’s a bit late for me to realize I'm not straight, though, right? And I have big dreams that won’t fit on Whispering Key, anyway - dreams that do not include tying myself to a tiny island stuck in the past or to a man who refuses to think about the future.
My head’s telling me I have to leave Whispering Key...My heart’s telling me there might be treasure on this island after all.

I loved the ragtag bunch of colourful characters and look forward to more from this family and these brothers!
Surprisingly funny, sweet, steamy, small town

Funny and fluffy. Attraction and antagonistism. The setting of a run down pleasure island was perfect with Mayor Big Rafe lording it over his son's and luring a big city doctor to his '5*resort'. There's a whole host of endearing side characters (I loved Beale). And tales of long lost treasure and ghosts.
And the romance was excellent. Fenn's past and Mason's new sexual awareness provided enough friction that the conflict never felt forced.I
Fun

Off Plan is book 1 in the Whispering Key series, although it ties up with Ms. Archer's Love in O'Leary series, it can be read as a standalone.
Dr. Mason Bloom has landed the job of his dreams or so he thought until he landed in Florida and discovered that the Five Star Resort he had been hired to work at, was really a run-down motel on a dwindling community and that the guy who was sent to pick him up from the airport seems determined on pushing every button Mason has, including some he had no clue of before meeting Fenn.
I loved Mason, he was a sweetheart, good-natured, hardworking and determined to make the best of a not so good situation (or at least not so good at first), and while he'd always thought of himself as straight, I appreciated that he wasn't all that fussy over his attraction to Fenn. He fit in the Whispering Key community perfectly and I adored how everyone accepted him with open arms. Fenn, on the other hand, was frustrating as all hell. Ugh, I got his reasons why he didn't want to get involved with a straight man, but really, he was so difficult at times and I wanted to scream at him when he kept Mason at arm's length. It was especially annoying because Fenn and Mason had an amazing connection and their chemistry was off-the-charts, they just fit so well together despite being so different and I kind of wanted more for Mason, because it took Fenn so long to realize what they had.
I'm already looking forward to seeing all the Whispering Key people again and discovering more about them, especially Fenn's cousins, who I suppose will be next in line to tell their stories.
Michael Dean did a great job with the narration, the book is fun and engaging, with just a little angst thrown in and he brought that out with his voice and made me become invested in the story. Recommendable!
Engaging start to the series!

My only issue is the narrator. I have no idea why they keep getting him if he talks like the robotic voice of Google Translate.
When he talks with a normal pronunciation, it's ok, but when he emphasizes the words... His faaaaaaace wheeent even pinkeeeer. Thiiiiiissss haddddd to beeeee the beeeest time eveeeerrrr....
Omg please stop... please stop... terrible.
Fun and light

Short and sweet with plenty of laughter, great chemistry, some treasure and of course that wonderful small town feeling.
Great narration by Michael Dean of course.
Perfect beginning to what promises to be an amazin
