About this listen

There are a couple of reasons I shouldn't crush on Zach Stauff.

  1. He's my big brother's best friend.
  2. He's my roommate.
  3. He's straight.

None of those things matter when I'm around him, and my heart starts beating like crazy. He's been the star of my wet dreams since forever, but to him, I'm just the kid who used to eat mudcakes. That is, until he walks in on me playing with a cucumber - without my clothes on. Worse, I was on camera streaming to an online audience when he witnessed the "cucumber incident".

Now he's probably got a very different image of me.

My subscribers say we should make out. They say they'd pay good money for the show.

I can't ask Zach to do that.

But what if this is my best chance to touch something that isn't a vegetable?

Straight as a Cucumber is a 70,000-word romantic comedy novel with a little angst, lots of laughter, silly animals, and sillier men. Knowledge of prior books in the series is not at all necessary to enjoy this one. Buy now if you need a reason to smile today!

Wow, this book is awesome, the story and characters are fun and entertaining, guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Ana Byrde is a gifted author with a brilliant mind, I enjoy her writing style and her way with words, you not help but to love her witty humor and comedic timing. I adored both lead characters, Emerson “Emmy” Lobb and Zach Stauff, they are easy to relate to and connect with. Zach is Emmy’s brother’s best friend, Emmy is starting college and since Zach’s roommate moved out he offered the room to Emmy who gladly took it. Emmy has always crushed on Zach even though he knew it would never go anywhere since Zach was straight. Emmy moves in with dog Beggles and his bird Soda. The shenanigans from his pets were hilarious, as were Aunt Rosy’s, who is a real hoot. Emmy’s side business, shooting entertaining videos of himself, but Zach accidentally finds out about it after hearing ruckus in Emmy’s room, he was left speechless with what he found, lets say you will never look at another cucumber with that scene coming to mind. I loved how everything plays out in this wonderful RomCom, the story is cleverly plotted with the perfect balance of romance and comedy, it is light on angst and heavy on humor, with some drama and heartfelt and emotional moments too. Ana Byrde, thank you for the wonderful story and the laughs, I am looking forward to what comes next in this amazing series.

🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous wonderful narration, John Solo is an entertaining storyteller and versatile voice artist, his talent has no bounds. He continues to bring these characters to life, humanizing them, giving each their own voice and personality. His portrayal of the characters is spent on, he understands each of their personas then takes the role and makes it his own, sounding believable and just as I picture them to sound. He sets the perfect tone for the story, captures the characters emotions and projects them into his performances. He handles to witty dialogue with ease and lands the humor effortlessly. Thank you for another awesome listen🎧

There are some hilarious moments in this gay for you story, made more so by the awesome narration. Emy has had a crush on his brothers straight best friend since he was 12 and when he goes to college and finds himself living with Zach his dreams might come true. But then Zach discovers how Emy makes his money, sexy internet videos! Emy’s dog and parrot add some funny moments too. I loved following the two men as they come together.
