I liked the story but…

Trigger Warnings:
…there is an intense scene of recollecting a brutal gay bashing. By contrast, the prologue killing off love #1 is pretty tame. There is also a pregnancy crisis in a secondary character.

I liked how physical the guys were, and that they had also mellowed out enough with age and experience to stop being reflexively contentious and talk to each other like adults. Despite the pain and horrors from the triggering issues, it was a pretty healthy relationship.

The narrator, who does a lot of LJ’s audiobooks iirc, was female which was novel for a gay romance. She did a great job although I worry for her vocal chords.

Short and not so sweet

I wouldn’t normally listen to a m/m book, since this was part of the series I did. It was very hot with so much emotion and passions. Was very well written, gave me insight I never saw before. The only draw backs were it ended too suddenly, felt it needed another chapter and at times it was hard to distinguish which character was speaking. Ms Chase which is an excellent narrator, didn’t change their voices enough. Still was a very good book.

It really surprised me

The 2 MC's have emotional baggage to get thru to a relationship and their hard won HEA. I adore Ms James writing. The storyline no matter the length of the book is completely well-rounded and in-depth. The characters are well-developed and relatable. As usual, I get pulled into the story and forget where I am. The best feeling for a reader. Thank you for a great story!
The narration is perfect for these cowboys. Well done!

SPOILER ALERT

This is part of the Blacktop Cowboys series by Lorelei James. At just over 3 hours long, it is a perfect length for a novella. Since it is so short, I don't believe that I can add to the publisher summary (which isn't that long) without spoiling.

I did not notice, when I purchased this that it was a "gay" romance. If you are familiar with LJ's books, it won't be a shock to you. She can write from this perspective/in this genre. That is the only warning/note that I would apply to my regular alert of strong language and mature themes

Scarlet Chase is one of the better female performers when it comes to reading a character from the opposite sex. I did find it helpful that each chapter began with the name of the character speaking.

Overall, I did like the story line and hearing the challenges that would be normal to most relationships but the perspective is different being attracted to someone of the same sex.
