About this listen

There are some things you just don't do…

Don't lie. Don't steal. Don't break the law. And absolutely do not, under any circumstance, sleep with your best friend's son.

I've always prided myself on being a good man. I am a doctor after all. I consider myself to be a by-the-book man. A man with strong morals and a clear conscience.

That is until a night out of town with too many drinks finds me naked and sweaty with the one person I shouldn't be rolling around in the sheets with…

Colt Bishop. Professional bull rider. Son of my very best friend. And now, my most sordid memory. A memory that, despite my very best efforts, refuses to leave my mind.

After my father retires, I decide to move back to Copper Lake and take over the family practice. Avoiding Colt and every erotic memory that follows becomes impossible.

He's flirty. Shameless. Suggestive.

He's also half my age.

Keeping my distance and keeping my clothes on should be easy… So why does it feel like anything but?

This was a beautiful and captivating love story and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved the characters. Loved the writing, loved the narration and the HEA was delightful. Teddy is the best narrator on the planet,

Excellent story 👏👏👏

Book 4 in the Copper Lake series is full of age gap forbidden goodness. This follows Colt & his dad's best friend William. 2 years prior to when the majority of this story takes place these two shared a steamy ONS that neither of them have been able to stop thinking about since. So when William moves back to Copper Lake to take over his ageing father's medical practice and Colt is stuck at home for the next few months after an injury stops him from competing on the rodeo circuit there is no avoiding the complicated but sexual chemistry charged elephant in the room between them.

I think the age gap/forbidden aspect of this story was done well. Will pushed back against his own feelings and wants for a good portion of the book and I think his worries, concerns and hesitation surrounding his developing feelings etc for Colt were 100% valid, infact the times when Colt was dismissive of Wills concerns didn't endear me to his character and I thought it only served to showcase the maturity difference between them. My only issue with this and why it didn't reach 5 stars for me was there was a definite lack of relationship development between them outside of the chemistry and physical side, we didn't get a lot of on page moments of them forming a connection outside of the bedroom and although the spice in this was delicious in order for me to be fully invested in them as a couple I needed those moments.

Overall I am really enjoying this series by Ashley and this was a great addition to it. Aiden Snow & Teddy Hamilton narrate and they deliver with their perfomances, I thouroughly enjoyed listening to them as Colt & William and I think the characters they voiced really suited their tones and perfomance styles. 🌶🌶🌶

Great
