About this listen
It’s the year 2004 A.D.
Juandre
At twenty-two, my existence was crusty. It was a Friday afternoon when I was racing like the Red Queen down the interstate from New York to Lexington, Kentucky, feeling like I would never reach my destination and, simultaneously, reluctant to start my life as a straight-married man and a father-to-be. When I crossed the bridge at the Ohio River, I swung my sexy sports car over to the first R&G (rainbow and glitter) establishment for a martini or three. One olive turned into several before I returned to the highway, wired and waving off my newfound besties, whom I will probably never see again. Their enthusiastic motivational pep talks convinced me to take a chance, find the man of my dreams and ask for what I wanted.

Story
Phoenix was becoming a pressure cooker nearing bursting open, as the sequestered group of savant scientists and soldiers in the glass-domed pods in Antarctica were buzzing with sexual tension. Brad McCormick figured since the limbic system associated with sexual desire is linked to libido and the part of the brain responsible for higher-level functions, like planning and thinking, he had a problem he couldn’t solve without his leadership team. To put it more explicitly, the men were extremely sexually eager.

Story
When you've been told your whole life that something is sinful, you have two options. Avoid it like the plague, like it has the power to destroy all that is good and pure. Or become as fixated upon it as Eve was upon that apple. I'm sick of the push-pull of terror and temptation. It's tearing me apart. I just want a bite of the apple. More than a bite. I want to devour it. Have its juices spill from my lips. And by apple, I, of course, mean sex.

How Juandre spread his wings!
This was a kinky little listen written by Kashel Char and narrated by Johnathan Waters.
I waited to listen to this short story after I finished listening to books 1, 2 & 3 of the New Beginnings series. I knew the story was about how my 2 favorite side characters met and felt I could put it off so I could devour the main 3 stories. I'm happy to say that yes, you can read this after the other 3 without any issues.
Juandre and Andrew are just the kinkiest, funnest, cutest couple I've ever had the pleasure to read/listen about. This was a fun look into how they initially met and how Juandre spread his wings. I wish I had a Juandre in my life how fun that would be.

Love Juan and Drew!
Having already listened to the audiobook of Here's the Deal (mentioned in the blurb), I was excited to see how Kashel Char was going to put a New Beginnings spin on this story. They did not disappoint. For the most part the story is the same, still super hot and spicy. But I loved finding all the little nods to Juandre that I fell in love with in the first two books of the New Beginnings trilogy. His sassiness, his love of lingerie and drag, his dominance. And then all the little hints that Andrew is maybe more than human, which the added third chapter confirmed. Yay! Now I'm chomping at the bit to find out what happens with them in book three, Cian's Song, especially after what happened to them in The Brawl King. I love this series and need more Juan and Drew. Once again Johnathan Waters did an amazing job voicing these characters.
