About this listen

Damiano’s parents have never had any faith in him, so it’s no surprise when his new boss doesn’t either. He’s determined to prove Graham Brandt wrong though, if only he could stop pushing the man’s buttons and dreaming about tearing them off. It’s frustrating being a hot-blooded young man, particularly when your sexy boss is straighter than the level he uses on job sites.

What do you do when your ex-wife won’t come home, and you can’t stop thinking about your obnoxious apprentice? You lose your damn mind, apparently. That’s the only explanation for why Graham agrees to let Dami teach him how to explore his unexplainable desires. When the lessons are over, however, Graham learns he may have misunderstood not only sex education, but Damiano Andropolis.The school of tough love is in session, but who is teaching whom?

This can be read as a standalone. The previous book couple are friends with this couple but are mentioned briefly throughout.I enjoyed this book alot more than book 1. Though Shutout is still my favorite book from this author.

I enjoyed the story enough to want to keep reading it but I wouldn't call it a page turner. However, I didn't struggle at all to finish it.I really enjoyed the overall plot. I just had problems with both of the main characters that prevented the book from wowing me. They each had loveable qualities but then in the case of Dami, he didn't stand up for himself and let himself be a doormat to his family and everyone. In the case of Graham, he takes grumpy to a rude and selfish level. I love grumpy/sunshine tropes but this just didnt entirely work for me. His obsession with his ex was off-putting and his internalized homophobia/denial didn't make sense to me given his family and friends. For me these qualities interfered with any chemistry going on between the two.

The narrator did a fantastic job. He expressed all the emotions and gave all the characters distinct voices that suited each of them and brought the story to life.

Fantastic performance
