About this listen

More than anything, struggling tech support specialist Bradley Evans wants an alpha male lover. He thinks he's found his perfect match, but when his domineering stockbroker boyfriend goes too far, Bradley wonders if his flexible, mindful neighbor might be just what he needs.

Ward Linden teaches autistic middle schoolers and is sexy and kind; but he isn't quite the alpha Bradley's been looking for. Do nice guys always have to finish last?

Bradley explores what it means to be alpha male in this steamy, humor-laced gay romance. Due to its sexual content, this book is for adults only.

Bradley Evans’ overbearing bigoted mother has brainwashed him into thinking nice guys finish last and that he should “only date winners”. Bradley seems to interpret this as a signal to only date rich guys who treat him badly. When his sweet neighbour, Ward Linden, comes to his assistance, Bradley reluctantly starts to dismantle his warped view of men. I didn’t mind the premise but the execution was pretty heavy handed with caricatures instead of characters: Ward was a vegan, yoga-loving saint, Bradley’s mother and ex-boyfriend were nastiness personified, and Bradley was too deluded to be real. I get that if you’re gaslighted enough, you start distrusting your own judgement, but that wasn’t explored in any meaningful way and the steamy sex scenes chewed up valuable plot real estate in an already short story (112 pp). Audio narrator Hugh Bradley spoke with a childlike cadence that I really didn’t enjoy either.

I tried hard to like this but just couldn’t
