About this listen
It all started when I left my roots behind. Meeting the man of my dreams is icing on the cake.
Devin
I've escaped my small town to attend college in Phoenix. It's time I quit living a lie and break free of my strict Mormon background.
So, what do I do? Join a pop-punk band as the lead singer. And if that's not enough, I'm determined to embrace my gender fluidity.
When a tall, dark, and handsome man walks into the bakery where I work, I'm ready. My virginity isn't all I'll lose.
As he becomes the most accepting and supportive person I've ever met, he might steal my heart.
Brandon
I've accepted the fact that I have a type—a type of guy. That guy is Devin.
From the moment I saw him, I knew he was special. I had to have him.
As I watch Devin transform into the person he's meant to be, it's clear he's conflicted. And I'll stop at nothing to keep him safe.
But when disaster strikes, can we strengthen our bond? And who will he become in the end?
On a Different Mission is the first book in the Rock U series and a spin-off of the Mesa Boys series. It follows the growing popularity of a college rock band and showcases each band members quest to reach their HEA. This novel features gender and bisexual awakenings, hurt/comfort, and rockers with found family.

A straight man walks into a gay bar searching for meaning…It sounds like the start of a lousy joke. And honestly, that’s what my life is beginning to feel like. I look back at all the hateful things I’ve said and done—so many things I can’t take back—and I’m not proud. I let my ignorance steal my relationship with my youngest brother, Magnus. He and his husband, Sem, are now happily married with kids, and all I want is to be a part of their lives. But I need help to get there.

Story
Selling my virginity wasn't how I saw my first week of college going. But after my parents cut me off, an offer from a gorgeous rich stranger doesn't sound so bad. It's only twenty-four hours and I'll never have to see him again. Wrong. Much to my horror, the stranger is Oliver Godfrey, the captain of my fencing team. As if that isn't bad enough, his parents own half the city. There is no escape from him or the way he makes me feel.

Failing to make it in pro ball left me absolutely devastated. Baseball has been my life, my dream, but it’s time to move on. Becoming a sports agent was always my back-up plan, and now that I’m interning at the biggest queer-focused firm in the country, I’m doing my best not to let my bitterness toward baseball affect my future. That’s really difficult when I’m assigned to babysit Kelley Afton, hotshot rookie pitcher for Philly. He has everything I ever wanted, and he doesn’t even appreciate it. I didn’t become an agent so I could soothe the ego of diva athletes.

Charles Preston Carmichael is the most infuriating man I've ever met. I want to sock the golden boy of college hockey right in the mouth. He enjoys telling me everything I'm messing up—publicly. And since he's my roommate for the next year, I can't avoid him. Yet there's something about him that makes me watch him. Something dark. A secret I want to uncover. When he returns from a weekend away, broken and haunted, I can't keep my distance anymore. He needs someone, and I'll be damned if it's not me.

Anthony Costello may be a vicious mafia boss with a penchant for violence and torture, but he’s also my best friend’s father and the sexiest man I’ve ever laid eyes on. His buttoned-up demeanor and grumpy attitude only fuel my desire to take him apart. I live to push all his buttons. And though he says he’s straight, it seems Anthony may have a soft spot and possessive streak for this smart-mouthed twink. Because as war between rival gangs escalates, things between Anthony and I start to heat up. And I think I’d rather like to sit on the king’s lap to watch it all burn.

This year is my last chance to take the Titans to victory. I cost us the cup last year, but I'm not making the same mistake again. And I'm determined to get drafted by the end of this season. The success I anticipate is built on three years of razor-sharp focus and hard-earned respect. Not to mention how much of my personal life I sacrificed for hockey. The Titans trust me to lead them and I won't betray that. Nothing could possibly go wrong. Until the former love of my life and current arch nemesis, Cameron Martinez, skates back into my life.

When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

My newest obsession is nothing like any of my past hookups. A perma-scowl and general leave-me-alone attitude? Yeah, that's the kind of thing I usually stay away from. But the most shocking part about all of this is that the person who's got me all out of whack . . . isn't a girl. Bash is a six-foot-four-tatted personal trainer who seems to want nothing to do with me. Until I'm naked, that is. As soon as I'm dressed, he's more than ready to say goodbye. But if there's one thing getting a taste of Sebastian Crawford has taught me, it's that one taste just isn't enough.

Aron Parker is one of the best players in professional baseball. Opponents call him cocky, and they aren’t wrong. Drew Rockland is the epitome of calm and collected on the mound. Aron’s showboating and Drew’s old-school ballplayer demeanor instantly put them at odds resulting in an all-out brawl on the field and a suspension. After the fight, all should have been forgotten, but an unexpected trade places them on the same team…and in the same apartment. Off the field, there is no one to pull them apart...but maybe they prefer it that way.

Story
I’ve had a crush on my brother’s best friend since the moment I laid eyes on him four years ago. Warner Ramsey is 225 pounds of pure hotness, a media darling, and one of the best NFL quarterbacks in the league. Hell, he’s the reason I figured out I’m solidly bi. It was easy to keep my crush under control when I was in college. Now, we play for the same team, and every time he talks smack, I want to shut him up. With my mouth.

Coming back home with my tail between my legs after a bitter divorce and a failed business venture isn’t exactly the life I’d envisioned for myself. At least there’s Bennett. Strong and steady as always, even if there is a simmering anger in him that wasn’t there when we were boys.

I wasn’t a keeper. Guys just didn’t pick me, and after one too many threw me away, my heart couldn’t take it anymore. When I was traded to the Buffalo Warriors, I knew things wouldn’t be any different. Skate. Score goals. Work out. Repeat. That’s my life. I’m living the dream by playing professional hockey, and I have some amazing friends. I’m happy. Really, I am. Or at least I’m trying to be. Until the night I run into Luca.

Having to share a room with the one man I let hurt me is my worst nightmare. I’m the broken shell of the boy he walked away from on the worst day of my life. I hate him almost as much as I hate myself.

Kissing my best friend was a stupid mistake. It earned me a few good hits to the face by his hulking boyfriend, Sebastian, and I can admit that I deserved that. Agreeing to let my stepbrother move in is another stupid mistake, and every single day since he moved in feels worse than Sebastian's beefy fists. Nicolas Aldana has always hated me. His dad marrying my mom ruined his life, and he never lets me forget it. And I hate him too. I don't care how big of a glow-up the guy has had, I. Hate. Him. But what I don't hate is the way his hands feel wrapped around my neck . . .

good story
Devin grew up in a strict Morman family. He wasn't to embrace who he was. Not until he went away to college. He gets a job at a bakery where Brandon sees Devin. They both had some issues to get through personally. They did it together, which was nice.
Devin and Brandon witnessed an accident. They didn't think anything when they were interviewed. That is when he gets a call from his dad. That call was very upsetting.
I started this series at book 5. It is so nice to finally get to book 1. I loved seeing how the band got together.
I listened to the audio book narrated by Finnely Cole. I enjoyed listening. He makes the story come alive.

Devin and Brandon
"𝑰'𝒎 𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒂 𝒂 𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒔, 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉."
Devin and Brandon take us on their journey in Oɴ ᴀ Dɪꜰꜰᴇʀᴇɴᴛ Mɪssɪᴏɴ by Christie Gordon, the first book in the Rock U series.
Devin is finally enjoying his freedom and finding himself away from his old Mormon life and is even more intrigued when Brandon shows interest and acceptance of him.
Brandon has been intrigued by Devin since the moment he saw him but his shyness gets in his way until Devin accepts a date. Once Brandon gets to know Devin, he will stop at nothing to protect him.
Devin and Brandon were entertaining with their fumbling through the beginning of their journey but the more time they spent together, the more they proved they were perfect for each other. I loved how Brandon supported Devin completely through his self-discovery.
Finnley Cole was a pleasant narrator to listen to. He brought both characters to life and gave them their own voices. I enjoyed my first audiobook narrated by Finnley and look forward to more by him.
If you enjoy...
🏳️🌈 MM • 🎸 Rockstar • 💜 Small Town • 🎸 Mormon • 💜 First Times • 🎙️ Dual, First

I enjoyed my first book by Christie Gordon and I am looking forward to more of the Rock U world.

Adorably awkward
Both Devin and Brandon remind me of my teenage self. They are both so adorably awkward as they try to navigate the attraction they have for each other. A times it was so frustrating watching them bundle their way through getting to know each other. But it was also sweet and beautiful. It was a joy to see them discover their true selves while falling in love in the process. I look forward to the next book. Finnley Cole is a new Narrator to me and he did a good enough job, he just needs to work on his character voices. Almost all the characters sounds the same and that makes it hard to know who was speaking.

Sweet Couple and HEA
I've really loved the story and everything about it. The only complaint I have is I'd like 2 different narrator's but that's just a small thing. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series and would love a follow up with Dev and Brandon.

Wonderful story!
Devin and Brandon are made for each other. Devin is dealing with coming out, because he doesn’t think his parents and their mormon ways will be accepting of him. He feels like he is going to loose his family, even though he’s not really around them anymore. Brandon is also dealing with coming out to his family but he doesn’t expect any issues with his family, his brother has dated men before so he is not concerned. Once they figure out that what they really want is each other they decide to take everything slowly. Together they made it work. I definitely recommend this book to everyone who loves mm romance stories with sexual awakenings.

Awkward First Love!
Devin and Brandon really were perfect for each other. Over the course of this story, they both grow up and learn with each other who they are really meant to be. I could picture Devin our gorgeous singer on the cover vividly. How could Brandon resist? It is very sweet and a little bit angsty which brought in the realism of being in your early 20's just trying to figure yourself out. It is actually a Slow burn as these two accept themselves and each other as a couple. Steamy yet awkward first times ensue as their relationship progresses which were beautiful to experience with them. This was my first listen with narrator Finnley Cole, and I thought he was quite perfect for these two awkward boys!

Sweet, awkward naive guys
Both of these guys—Devon especially—are so clueless and awkward that it’s adorable—even when it’s frustrating.
Thanks to the author generously providing ARCs, I was able to read the last two books in this series, and really enjoyed them. So even though I’m kind of going backwards in the series at this point, it’s fine because she wrote each one as a stand-alone, even though they’re each interconnected.
I also really appreciate how she lists the trigger warnings at the start of the book—even in the audio version! I listen to a TON of audiobooks and in my experience, this is rarely done. Kudos!

I love the way it all came together
Another amazing story from Christie, narration was as good as the story. Devin and Brandon had some hurdles to go through but nothing to bad that throws the story off. Thank you Christie (Finnley).

Heart Wrenchingly Beautiful
I have reread this book a few times and first time being able to listen to it. Absolutely beautiful story. The voice actor really brought my boys to life. I also found out that as usual, I was pronunciating alot of words incorrectly.
I love this book and cannot recommend it enough. If you are into LGBTQ+ love stories, this is definitely for you.

Great Story and Narration!
I love this series but somehow had missed reading the 1st book! I really enjoyed listening to it! The story itself is fantastic, and Devon and Brandon build such a fantastic relationship that they are able to handle all the pitfalls along their way. The narration was really great! It was engaging to listen to and really brought the story to life.
