About this listen

I sing to survive, and he’s never been with a man. When he looks at me, it’s everything.

Devin

I hadn’t planned on falling for anyone, especially him. After escaping a suffocating Mormon past, I built a new life—working at a queer-owned bakery, singing in a band, embracing skirts and eyeliner like armor. Then Brandon walks into my world with his shy smiles and stammered compliments. I can't look away.

He says he’s never been with a guy. But every time his eyes linger, every time our fingers brush, I wonder…is he just curious, or as lost as I am? I want him. But I’m not sure where to start.

All I know is, my heart races when he’s around.

Brandon

I was just trying to get through college. Keep my head down, finish my degree, and figure out the rest later.

Then Devin appears—in eyeliner and combat boots, belting out lyrics with a voice that cracks something open in me. He takes my breath away. I’ve never let myself act on an attraction to a man.

But Devin? He’s different. He makes me want to push past the doubt and fear. And even though I’m fumbling through every new feeling, I can’t stay away.

I just hope I’m strong enough to be the man he deserves. On a Different Mission is the first book in the Rock U series and a spin-off of the Mesa Boys series. It follows the growing popularity of a college rock band and showcases each band member’s quest to reach their HEA.

This novel features gender and bisexual awakenings, hurt/comfort, and rockers with found family.

Each book features a different couple and can be listened to as a standalone or as part of the series in order. Explore a world of rebel rockers finding love and solidarity today!

I was excited to listen to On a Different Mission by Christie Gordon, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. I struggled with Brandon as a character— I felt he was insensitive because of his frequent mentioning of his ex-girlfriend to Devon, including intimate details, and the fact that even though he and Devon were boyfriends, Brandon still kept a photo of her in the bedroom. This felt unsettling and upsetting making it hard for me to connect to him and with his relationship with Devon. Honestly, if I were in Devon’s shoes, I would have found that difficult to overlook. I felt that Devon should have issued an ultimatum or told Brandon to take a hike.

That said, the story itself was okay, and I did enjoy the supportive group of friends who rallied around both Devon and Brandon. While it wasn’t my cup of tea mainly because of Brandon, fans of romance with strong friendship dynamics might still find something to enjoy here.
