About this listen

Daniel Mulligan is tough, snarky, and tattooed, hiding his self-consciousness behind sarcasm. Daniel has never fit in - not at home in Philadelphia with his auto mechanic father and brothers, and not at school where his Ivy League classmates looked down on him. Now, Daniel's relieved to have a job at a small college in Holiday, Northern Michigan, but he's a city boy through and through, and it's clear that this small town is one more place he won't fit in.

Rex Vale clings to routine to keep loneliness at bay: honing his muscular body, perfecting his recipes, and making custom furniture. Rex has lived in Holiday for years, but his shyness and imposing size have kept him from connecting with people.

When the two men meet, their chemistry is explosive, but Rex fears Daniel will be another in a long line of people to leave him, and Daniel has learned that letting anyone in can be a fatal weakness. Just as they begin to break down the walls keeping them apart, Daniel is called home to Philadelphia, where he discovers a secret that changes the way he understands everything.

Loved It

Like cuddling in bed with a warm blanket and tea while it rains. If the bed also contained a super hot guy wanting to jump you every 5 seconds.

Did this book focus to much on sex? Possibly. But who cares because listening to this book was more fun than all the serious books in the world.

Sweet. Sappy. Romantic. Hot.

Roan Parrish you are a wizard.

I am swept off my feet right now.

Wow this is a really wonderful book. I bought the audiobook a while ago after reading Parrish’s recent release, but hesitated after reading a few less favourable reviews. I’m so glad I gave it a chance, as it is one of the best romance books I have recently read and is so adorable.
It has everything I enjoy reading: first time true love, a small town setting, and very little relationship drama. It is simply an old fashioned love story between two very real characters. The side stories relating to family and friends, their careers and small town interactions are well worked into their story and the chemistry and love between Rex and Daniel is amazing. It is an insta love, something I don’t normally enjoy, but it is very real, and to be honest how many relationships do start in life.
The narration by Robert Nieman was excellent, just how I imagined Daniel.
I’m looking forward to reading/listening to the rest of the series, 5 stars.🌟

5 star story and narration!

Romantic, relatable, poignant story, beautifully written as always from Roan Parrish.
Nieman’s narration is bizarre - he has no instinct about when to pause, and he runs sentences together so often that at times it was hard to tell which character was speaking. He does not even attempt to differentiate the voices of the leads, or take a stab at Rex’s slight southern accent or Daniel’s Philly accent- this may have been a wise choice, if he wasn’t able to do them well, but it compounds the issues with his reading skills, making it difficult to relax into the story.
Despite these issues, the quality of the writing made it enjoyable listening overall.
Having listened to the next audiobook in the series, I would recommend reading the first book, then listening to the next two books in the series, which have a far better narrator.

Beautiful book, unfortunate narrator

Although a great story, I was wishing for it to end so I didn’t have to listen to the narrator anymore. And it was mutual - he was rushing so fast I think he wanted it to stop too.

Great story. Not great narrator.
