Story
Teddy: If there's one thing I don't do, it's commitment. You don't become an award-winning photographer by staying in one place. I'm always on the road, looking for the next shot, the next award, the next hot body. Which is how I end up on Dr. James Marian's front porch in the middle-of-nowhere Alaska. He's known as the Wildlife Whisperer, and I want to photograph him in action. He's reluctant at first, but I can be persuasive.

When I rode my bike into Aster Valley, it was supposed to be temporary. A quick, relaxing visit with friends. No entanglements. Zero drama.

More specifically, I saw Truman Sweet, Aster Valley’s resident botanist, spice merchant, and bee-costume enthusiast, being harassed.

Griff: I learned early on that the easiest way to avoid a broken heart is to always be the first out the door. Caring about anyone or anything is asking to be disappointed, which is why I avoid relationships and chase freelance gigs instead of chasing my dreams. Besides, dreams don't come true for people like me. And no one, not even the sexy-as-hell bartender at the club can convince me otherwise. Because I'm never risking my heart again.

Every new relationship has obstacles, it just turns out that ours involves my bumbling inexperience, an octogenarian naughty toy party, and being on the run in an RV with Aunt Tilly. When my biological father takes his homophobic views on a national platform, the only way to stand up for what I believe in is to claim my past and confront him. So now it's time to decide: Do I put the past behind me and walk away from AJ for good? Or face my biggest fear and fight for what's mine?

Story
I left my family and tiny Texas hometown 15 years ago to escape small-town gossips and to give my mom and sister the chance at a better life. But when a phone call from an attorney back home informs me that my sister passed away, leaving me custody of her newborn baby, I'm shocked out of the steady life I've built for myself running a tattoo shop in San Francisco. The thing is: I don't do babies. And I don't do small towns. Or commitment. And I especially don't do family.

I didn’t mean to stow away on the yacht, I swear. My first mistake was going home with the jerk at the bar, but in my defense, Prescott said he owned the Worthington - 90 feet of sleek, yachty perfection - and if I could get the chief mate’s job, I’d have an excuse to stay on board and keep avoiding my family and my future. How was I supposed to know he was the owner’s cheating, gold-digging almost brother-in-law, or that I’d end up stuffed in a closet when the ship left the harbor?

Publisher's Summary
Blue: When my ex walks into the resort bar with his new husband on his arm, I want nothing more than to prove to him that I've moved on. Thankfully, the sexy stranger sitting next to me is more than willing to share a few kisses in the name of revenge. It gets even better when those scorching kisses turn into a night of fiery passion.
The only problem? Turns out the stranger's brother is marrying my sister later this week.
Tristan: I have one rule: no messing with the guests at my vineyard resort. Of course, the one exception I make turns out to be the brother of the woman my brother's about to marry. Now we're stuck together for a week of wedding activities, and there's no avoiding the heat burning between us.
So fine, we make a deal: one week. One week to enjoy each other's bodies and get it out of our system. Once the bride and groom say I do and we become family, it'll all be over between us. Right?
Fair warning: Blue and Tristan's story contains smoking hot scenes of man parts touching, pee-in-pants descriptions of grannies cursing, and the sweet improbability of two strangers finding their happily ever after when they least expect it.
Borrowing Blue is the first in the new Made Marian series. Each book tells the story of one of the Marian brothers' search for true love and can be listened to as standalone or as part of the series.

Never again
I am totally bewildered at the number of 5 star reviews for this tedious, overblown book. The flimsy story was utterly unrealistic and contrived, there were way too many sex scenes, and the family dramas were ridiculously over the the top. I also found the narration too arch but he didn’t have good material to work with. I won’t read anything else by this author.

Fantastic!
I love this book, it's my favourite 'go to' book now :) I love the humour, the love story, the great sex scenes and the hilarious family dynamic. It's hard to believe that this is Lucy Lennox's 1st book, I am a huge fan! Michael Pauley does an amazing job, he distinguishes the characters well and it is just so easy to follow along. He has a great way of expressing emotion in his narration as well as changing voices for different characters. I think he is the master narrator of m/m fiction!

What did you like most about Borrowing Blue?
The two main characters were sweet and adorable! All the seconday characters added to the drama and humour!

First time listening to Michael, and I absolutely loved his performance!

Oh I love a really sweet MM romance and this one was that. When it started I wasn't sure if it was going to be for me because I'm not a big fan of GFY but this felt genuine and the characters stole my heart. I will be continuing this series for sure.
The narration was good.

Introducing...The Marian Clan
Would you listen to Borrowing Blue again? Why?
Yes, I would listen to Borrowing Blue again. It was a fantastic story and beginning to a franchise. This review comes after listening to the first 3 books in this franchise. The outcome of this book is pretty predictable, but it's really good getting there.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Blue is my favorite character in this book. I connected with him and his reactions to everything happening in his life. I really like how Blue is pretty much the central character of the family.
Which scene was your favorite?
I liked when Blue finally finds out Tristan's connection to Simone and the wedding.
If you could rename Borrowing Blue, what would you call it?
I wouldn't change the name of the book.
Any additional comments?
I think that this story is a great listen. It's an easy listen with a happy ending. It's a great introduction to a large family, all with a story to tell.

Utterly charming!
Any additional comments?
I was utterly charmed by both the story and the narration. I liked both Blue and Tristan very much. I loved that even though this is a super fast insta-love sort of story, I totally bought into it.
But, most of all, I absolutely adored Michael Pauley’s narration. Terrific character voices, good pacing, and he’s brilliant at conveying the emotional moments. I just loved the narration!
If you like Alexa Land and/or like stories with big families, zany older folks (behaving sometimes completely inappropriately), humor, lots of hot sex, low angst, and oodles of romance…then you need to check this out.
As for me, I’m definitely going to pick up the second in the series and whispersync the deal to get Michael Pauley’s audio performance as well.

Good story but.....
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, the story is well written, fun, and the narration by Michael Pauly is top notch.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Borrowing Blue?
The bar scene when the two main characters meet for the first time. This scene sets the pace for the rest of the book.
Which character – as performed by Michael Pauley – was your favorite?
Tristan, he was the most complex of the bunch and that's saying a lot.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Another gay movie with good looking white privileged men that have no real problems.
Any additional comments?
I liked the story, it was fun and the narration took it to another level. The problem I have is the main characters; while likable it's the same old tired formula: two successful and incredibly good looking white guys, with amazing bodies, great personalities find each other and make a connection in their perfect privileged worlds. Throw in some trivial self-worth obstacles to make them seem like their three-dimensional and you've got another white-washed story about gay true love. Way to mix it up folks.

My Review:
Overall: 4.25
Performance: 4.5
Story: 4.0
This is the first book I've read by this author and I really liked it. On the surface, this is not a romance that should happen. Tristan isn't gay...at least not that he's ever admitted. Yes, he did a bit of experimentation in college, but then he met his wife, and then the interest in men was never there...until Blue.
Blue is at Tristan's vineyard for his brother's wedding. He immediately is drawn to Tristan, but doesn't understand how Tristan can be so new to all this, but yet so accepting and adventurous about it all. Note...I kind of loved that about Tristan. He really is a laidback guy who's up for anything.
The book was fun. The setting was incredible...hello, sexy vineyard. The dichotomy of both families being here was interesting, especially in the contrasts between Tristan's and Blue's acceptance. I loved the whole Marian clan and can see how this series is setting up so well. Note: the scenes that make up Tristan's 'coming out' were hilarious and unexpected. I kept laughing out loud.
I liked this one and am immediately going to go grab book #2.

A sweet contemporary opposites attract romance!
This is book 1 in the Made in Marian series.
This was a sweet, opposites attract contemporary romance with all the feels.
I read this series a while back and reliving again this time in audio has been even more enjoyable.
Michael Dean's audio delivery and narration was smooth, coherent and flawless.
The secondary characters were endearing and the storyline was engaging and compelling.
I loved listening to this one and am looking forward to binge listening this entire series.

Starts out great, the last 3/4 was a mix
I loved how this story started out, but the rest of the book was a struggle. The story itself had the potential of being fine, but I found a few significant distractions. First, I don’t see why 2 people who are so in love, miss no opportunity to call each other MFers, or a**holes, or say f***y**. It’s continual. And Blue had a tendency to overreact, and if he got really upset, which happened a number of times, to literally turn around and run away. Really? Who, over the age of 4 does that? Also, after the first 10 or 12 sex scenes, I started skipping over them because they got boring. Even with all this, there were some good parts to the last 3/4 of the book, but I wouldn’t have spent the credit.
This was my first Lucy Lennox book, and I don’t know if I’ll read another.

I absolutely loved this book!
This book was awesome!!!'It was romantic and funny!!! The narrator was literally the best I've heard since I've started reading audio books! His transitions from one character to the next was next to flawless...and the differences in most of the voices...the characters was so good, that in the beginning, I wondered if there were two people narrating (I hadn't paid attention to the name of the narrator in the beginning), but once I checked, I realized that there was just one. Check it out! I will be looking for this author and narrator for more great stories!

This must be my 4th listen to one of my all time comfort books. I still love it to pieces ❤️❤️
Original audiobook review Jan 2017:
Hot hot hot!,
"I kissed a boy and I liked it."
And boy, did he ever like it! This is the very sweet, very sexy story of straight Tristan and heartbroken Blue. A surprise kiss changes both of their lives. The novel is not full of angst nor drama. The MCs are so damned likeable that I didn't really miss the big lack of conflict in the story. Together Tristan and Blue are smoking hot!
I listened to most of this novel on audiobook and I have to tell you that Michael Dean’s voice is so sexy it should be illegal. Really.
A fun, hot read! I can't wait to read the next two books in the series.

A joy to listen to
This was excellent full of tropey pretend boyfriend goodness and just enough angst to make you worry about the boys getting their HEA. The narrator handles the story with gusto and distinctive voices for all concerned.
Will definitely be picking up the next book in the series.

Enthralling
This series is really enjoyable and I love the way each book, character and background intertwine. You do start feeling like one of the Marian family...or wishing to be a part of it. It’s easy to associate yourself with certain characters. The narration is wonderful and bolsters each character so well that they bounce out of the book and into your imagination.

Insta-love but it works for this story.
A fun and passionate tale with some angst. OTT at times and I anticipated some plot points, but it kept my attention.
Wonderfully narrated by Michael Pauley. He made a clear distinction between Blue and Tristan and matched his voices to the personalities of these two men.

Loved it
I have never really taken to audio books but I've had a few days of waiting outside college to pick up my son so thought I'd try this one and it completely hooked me. I was particularly impressed with the way the narrator was able to make each character unique without trying too hard
