Publisher's Summary

Less than a year after moving to Hawaii, construction foreman Nate Ellison's wife leaves him and their infant son for another man. Months into single-fatherhood, Nate meets Andrew "An" Hoang and is slowly drawn into An's life. Through An's friendship, he finds himself finally enjoying his new home in paradise.  

An Hoang hasn't had a real relationship in years. With his pediatrics practice and a niece to care for on his days off, he doesn't have the headspace for more than a simple roll in the sack. But when he meets Nate - who just happens to be the gorgeous construction worker he encountered in the lobby of his apartment building - something about Nate makes it impossible for him not to care. When Nate needs An's help with his son, An doesn't refuse.   

What happens when Nate's past and An's old-fashioned parents interfere just as the two men begin to fall for each other? Will they find the means to be brave and give their love a chance to flourish?

Sweet bisexual-awakening romance!

Construction foreman Nate Ellison has had a rough year with his wife leaving him and their baby son, Neil, without a trace. Things improve when he meets his neighbour, Vietnamese American Andrew “An” Hoang, and An’s feisty niece, Dai. An (pronounced ‘Ang’) is a paediatrician who coincidentally owns the practice where Nate takes Neil and the two become firm friends. While Nate has never considered himself gay, he finds himself attracted to An, who is gay and has similar feelings.

Set in Hawaii, this bisexual-awakening, family drama romance was an easy, good-hearted read with minor angst involving An’s culturally homophobic parents and the reappearance of Nate’s wife. I really liked both main characters, the two sweet kids, and the pleasantly-supportive supporting cast! US voice artist Iggy Toma has the biggest heart in the business and always plays the emotions well. While he doesn’t attempt any Vietnamese accents that didn’t diminish the cultural overlays of the story (the series is currently free on the Audible Plus catalogue).

Very sweet bi awakening romance

Wow Nate and Ang are a beautiful couple. Such heartwarming characters with depth. So well written by Lacy and once again brilliant narration by Toma, Iggy can certainly bring the feels.

I loved this audiobook! Highly recommended.
