About this listen

A first kiss from a younger man leads to a sexual awakening...

George’s strict upbringing has left him ashamed of his sexuality. In his forties now, he's yet to come out or even kiss a man - until he meets Quentin.

Quentin has had enough of bad relationships with men who won't commit. Still raw from the last one, he’s not ready to try again. But George is sweet, and helping the older man get some experience might be a fun diversion.

Swept rapidly into a deeper connection than they bargained for, they face a dilemma. George isn’t ready to come out, and Quentin wants a boyfriend who isn’t afraid to be seen with him in public.

Can they find a way to navigate the unpredictable waters of their new relationship and find happiness together?

Contains: age gap, gay first times, sexual exploration, out for you.

Happy Place features George’s journey to overcome his fear and shame about being gay. Divorced and in his 40s, George, has never acted on his feelings until he meets Quentin. I’ve really enjoyed this series. Ostensibly the Rainbow Place books are romances but their consistent message is about self-acceptance and the courage it takes to live openly and visibly, as exemplified by those who work at, or frequent, the Rainbow Place Café. I liked that George and Quentin’s relationship has ongoing teething problems and that it’s only through open communication that they start to get in sync. It felt realistic. 🎧 Hamish Long’s narrations are always understated, so the emotions and dialogue flow naturally and effortlessly.

The courage to come out of the closet!
