Story
At 40, Lan Davis is looking for his damned picket fence and two point five kids. What he doesn't expect is instead of a wife in the picture, his mind keeps conjuring up images of two men. One, his partner in the force, who is as straight as they came, the other an ex, who he'd hurt but never forgot. After an incident leaves Lan injured, the two men rally around him...only maybe they shouldn't have. It seems a medicated Lan is a truthful one.

Story
Private investigator Mackenzie Williams' newest client is everything he's looking for in a guy--charming, beautiful, intelligent, and successful. There's only one itty bitty problem: the guy's not exactly gay. In fact Jordan Channing is looking for a PI to follow his fiance. The smart thing would be to thank Jordan for his time, turn Mr. Perfect away (don't let the door hit you on the rump, thank you very much), and forget he exists.

Terrible

Summary
Stuntman and two-time cancer survivor Memphis Haines excels at beating the odds. When he's presented with the opportunity to help his ex-boyfriend with a charity event, he jumps at the chance to make up for the devastating way he left Tyler 10 years ago. Memphis might have taken the college geek's virginity, but the former mathlete is now a hell of a head turner.
Tyler Hall sticks to one simple mandate: no more dating ex-boyfriends. Ever. He certainly isn't interested in hooking up with Memphis Haines. Ten years ago, falling for Memphis changed Tyler's life. The man's abrupt departure turned his world inside out. But he moved on long ago. Besides, he has a clinic for the homeless to run. Memphis, however, seems determined to rehash the past. And his hard body and confident charm are resurrecting ultra-hot memories best not remembered, making Tyler's rule harder and harder to keep.
Contains mature themes.

Love the story!! Did not love the Performance
Any additional comments?
I was already in love with this story because I owned the book version. I like to buy the audible version because it brings the story to life for me. I was so let down when I listened to this. I don't think Marc Bachmann should be reading romance. He read this story like he was reading classic literature. At one point I thought he had a slight British accent because of all the drama in a simple sentence. I was so not impressed.

Second chances
I love second chance romances and this one doesn't dissappoint. It made me love Tyler who I really really disliked in the first book. The narrator does a great job though I found how he said forehead odd and it si used A lot in this series, but that is just my weird self.

Just as great as the book
Any additional comments?
Read the book, but I wanted to "listen" to my characters.
What I love most is I tend to be a fast reader, so listening I often find I hear things I have either forgotten or just simply missed. Which happened with this story as well.
I truly love River Jaymes and her writing, The way she brings the characters to life.

Narrator did a great job
Any additional comments?
Same narrator as the first book in the series and he did another excellent job. I like his voice for Noah the best.
I enjoyed the plot of this book although it seemed as if the sex scenes could have been cut back some. They were well written but at times were a distraction from the main story. I can't say I liked Memphis much at first, but he eventually grew on me. I think I felt more of an emotional connection with Tyler - who hasn't been dumped by someone and left wondering why? Overall, I'm glad I got this audiobook.

New m/m author to follow On audiable
I listened to the first of river jaymes' books a while ago and thought it to be above average, but this second installment is even better. Loved the two male MC and the dynamic of the entire group of men comprising Ty's friends. I will absolutely be bying Noahs story when it comes out too. I listened to many many m/m stories and am by now a little picky since some of Them Seem to blend together in a non-descipt mass of "same same" but i Think this author might be able to write stories that stands out and stay in the "i remember that story" catagory.
