Sexually Explicit. Sweet. OTT

I heard few book friends talk about how much they've enjoyed Significant Brothers Series .

So when I saw, E. Davies teamed up with Greg Boudreaux and released ALL 6 Significant Brothers audiobooks plus 1 novella in one single bundle, that's 37 hours and 28 minutes for just 1 audio credit , I knew this was my opportunity to get them for cheap. Hey, just keeping real. LOL😂😁😀

Greg Boudreaux narration was awesome. His tone, voices and pace were perfect . His delivery was vivid , dramatic and engaging. Audio production was seamless and clean. He didn't just read a book , he embodied the characters and situations.

It took me few days to listen all the collection. Stories are entertaining , fun with easy going, uncomplicated plotlines. Written in a personal , intimate feel , with lot humour , witty and snarky banter. With medium to low levels of drama and angst ; SUPER , ÜBER high on LOTS of explicit hot AF sexy times and so much sweetness to put anyone in a diabetic coma. And of course, they all have well deserved HEA/HFN endings. Gave me all the feels.

Outstanding Series!

TBH, this is one of the best series I’ve listened too this year!

Set in and around Knoxville( yes! Tennessee) this series follows the lives of a group of men who have been friends since high school. An astronaut turned park ranger, a veterinarian, a race car driver, a forensic scientist, a dude ranch manager and a pilot, all still group text and meet frequently for drinks. This wonderful series is the culmination of them all meeting their significant others!

Highly recommended!

Loved it

What a treat almost 38 hours of listening pleasure all for 1 credit. Why would you not pick this gem up? We get our brothers and all their wonderful lives all in one bundle. These books were absolutely wonderful and the characters were so loveable. Greg does an amazing job of bringing these stories to life for us.

Like porn with middle school dialog.

This anthology takes the cake. It wins my award for "audiobook I requested a refund for after the least amount of time." Seriously. I am DUMBFOUNDED at the high ratings these books have. I'm incredulous.

Greg Boudreaux (aka Tremblay) is one of the finest narrators I have ever heard. His name is literally the main reason I purchased this. He does an amazing job no matter what he is reading. I have no complaints with him.

I think I *may* have made it to chapter 3, but that might be generous. From the very beginning, the story is just cringe-worthy sex. It's all the characters think about, talk about, or do. At all. The dialog sounds like it was written by a middle schooler. The characters have ZERO depth, even with all the hints of backstory. It might develop later but I can't force myself to listen to this, despite the narration.

If this is your cup of tea, more power to you I guess, but honestly, there are SO MANY BETTER STORIES out there, whether you want fluff or mystery or action with MM flavor. I want my credit back. This author is a pass for me.

Formulaic

They're all just the same to me. I listened to them back-to-back, and it just became so repetitive and predictable. The characters are barely distinguishable from one another except by their occupations. They're all sex-addled. They all fall in love almost immediately. They all can't communicate. They all want more of a relationship but are too afraid to say anything. They all are bad at dating and haven't done it in a while to the point that even minor compliments get a paragraph or two about how weird it is. Every story starts out with a "quickie" with some other guy. There's always a point of contention with another man being after one of the protagonists, but it's resolved very quickly.They all have very descriptive sex four or five times over the course of the book. I don't even know what most of them look like other than that they all are hot or ripped or small-framed "twinks."

The dialogue, too, I struggled with. There were just a lot of moments where I cringed, because people don't say things like this, "I don't think I can watch you suck down a noodle, because my noodle might get less limp." All they talk about is sex or relationships, and everything becomes an innuendo in their conversations. I wanted more depth. I wanted to feel more for the characters. Take Leo, for instance, in Trace. (SPOILER) His not being gay and mentioning virginity was intriguing. I perked up and thought to myself, "Oh, this is different! This might be fun." But then he just goes and has sex with Dustin in the same night he meets him, so what could potentially be a very interesting bit of turmoil that isn't just a jealous ex or some other guy is thrown away.

I don't know. I don't like to write negative reviews, and I really tried my best to like it. It's just that over time it started to really wear me down. It felt too shallow.

Great Storytelling!

Loved it. Great escapism. We all want friends that will be there and go to bat for you like brothers. This book illustrates the truth for some that the family you create, can be more precious than the family you were born into.

A lovely romantic escape

I thoroughly enjoyed this collection - some stories more than others, (Splinter, Trace & Tremble were my favs), and it's probably not remotely realistic for a group of characters like this to exist all together in the world, but it was a nice escape. There's a lot of humor, a lot of cheesiness but not so much that I couldn't take it, and enough seriousness to keep me binging through to see how things would turn out.
Greg's narration was quite good - a few of the characters, at least the locals, probably should've had stronger accents being from Tennessee, (a few did have distinct accents), but with 10 different men as main characters, Greg had his work cut out for him.
After listening to this series on a straight binge for the past 2 or 3 weeks, I am really glad for the spin-off series, Brooklyn Boys, though I will really miss these core characters.

A well narrated collection

I listened to the first book a long time ago, and I rather liked it.
The narration by Greg Boudreaux was fantastic as always, his voice is like silk and his accent and talent with emotional timing are superb.

These books are fun, low angst, full of quirky characters and very, VERY steamy.
I think my favorite was book #2 because of all the cute zoo animals. The group of Significant Brothers is a lively one, I liked how they each had an interesting profession that was described and researched well.
It did seen like all the book followed the same pattern, and after listening to 6 in a row it got a bit old....
I would say these book are a great palate cleansers from more emotional reads.
