Not A Good Love Story + To Long.

This story could have been so much better. It had potential, but, I wouldn't call this a true love story. First of all, the main characters relationship as kids was just an attraction not them being in love. If the author would have given them a strong love, and connection, as kids, then maybe I could have appreciated their reconnection as adults, but I couldn't. No real connection at all. + it took waaaaay to long for the story to take off, and when it finally did, it was vapid. So, many uninteresting things that could have been left out. One good thing was, the narration, the narrator did a wonderful job bringing all the characters to life, even with an unfulfilling story.😔

Love this series!

It wasn’t easy to get into the narrating, but eventually the story won out and I ended up enjoying the story like I did when I read it! Esquire work on the Russian accent it sounds middle eastern instead.

This story is filled with laughs, heartbreak and the love of a chosen family. It is an amazing story!

Second Chance at love

great book, well written and excellent performance by the Narrator.
Second chance romance at it's best.

second chance

Greed. money grubbing. backstabbing beyrayals abound. Dark twisted greed fuels most of the motives. It's a miracle that Jay and Luke could connect under the circumstances. My heart hurt for both of them, because they were so precious and deserved the best for themselves and each other. I was elated when Jay won the court case!!!
All the reveals at the end- extraordinary!! I'm still processing it all! Wow! The narrator did a great job. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this story and am giving an honest review.

A definite re- listen!

I absolutely love this book. I’ve read this book multiple times now and still can’t get enough. The alpha is a bit of an idiot at times, but it doesn’t get tedious or annoying and he redeemed himself in the end.
The narrators is a great job with this book, making it come to life. He has a pleasant voice and gave the characters suiting voices.

And Baby Makes 3!!!

Loved this book! It’s a truly funny and sweet love story between Jay a down and out artist and Luke a successful lawyer that’s recently been dumped by his artist/lover and housemate. Luke and Jay are part of a large boisterous group of college fraternity brothers. The group is all very close to each other and any number of them can be involved in some sort of mischief or helping each other with other life issues. Loved this book!

Luke swears he’s done with love or at least he thinks/says he is to everyone. Jay has been abandoned by his family and has been working at scrapping by with his art. When an offbeat art gallery owner decides to give Jay his own show. This show is where he reconnects with a couple of fraternity brothers of which Luke has been dragged by one of his buddies. A brief summer fling back when they were both still in college lead to Jay becoming homeless and Luke’s heart battered and bruised.

Luke and Jay’s journey to a HEA has many obstacles for these two men to work through. Love, trust, suspense, and laughter can be found in this book. The story of these two men has several twists and turns that will keep you turning the pages eager to “see” how they slowly and sweetly come together. I know that you will enjoy this story as much as I did so get your copy today.

Great feel good story

Having not read any of this series I wasn't sure what I was getting into.
But I simple loved it.
This was a very slow build, which now a days you can't find anymore. And I really enjoyed. I liked how both guys had issues but neither one had to be picked up by the other, they both were doing okay by time they found re-found each other.
That the outside support system of friends and works really works with this story and I can wait to read each of those tales.

The narrator did an amazing job not just capturing each voice but getting the feeling involved. Hope we get to hear him again in the rest of the series.

Luke & Jay

Luke is mired in his work and breaking up with his most recent Omega drives him further away from friends and relationships. He hangs on to his misery for years. Jay is wonderful, trying his hardest to make a life for himself. I loved his part of the story.

Awesome!

Of course I knew as long as I liked the narrater that it would be great because the book was. I really like to listen to Alexs Esquire voice as he reads different characters. Can’t wait for more!

Love this series!!

Another slam dunk from the Bates Brothers - for once I felt more sympathy for the Alpha Luke than Omega Jay....poor Luke was such a lost soul ignoring the best possible future right in front of him
