When Luca Ward was five years old, he swore he would love Imre Claybourne forever. Years later, that promise holds true - and when Luca finds himself shipped off to Imre's North Yorkshire goat farm in disgrace, long-buried feelings flare back to life. The lines around Imre's eyes may be deeper, the once-black night of his hair silvered to steel and stone . . . but he's still the same slow-moving mountain of a man whose quiet-spoken warmth, gentle hands, and deep ties to his Roma heritage have always, to Luca, meant home.

The problem?

Imre is more than twice Luca's age.

And Luca's father's best friend.

Yet if Imre is everything Luca remembered, for Imre this hot-eyed, fey young man is nothing of the boy he knew. Gone is the child, replaced by a vivid man whose fettered spirit is spinning, searching for north, his heart a thing of wild sweet pure emotion that draws Imre into the compelling fire of Luca's frustrated passions. That fragile heart means everything to Imre - and he'll do anything to protect it.

But can he resist the allure in cat-green eyes when Luca places his trembling heart in Imre's hands . . . and begs for his love, over and over again?

Contains mature themes.

Cole McCade writes with poetic, sensitive, delicate sensuality. Words that make mental images come to life. Listening to this story is like making love with a lover who pays attention to erogenous zones overlooked by those who rush to completion. Age gap, silver fox and a delicately built but strong young man find purpose from confusion and sadness; find love that transcends anything while working together in an almost ethereal farm setting. Ethereal but also gritty and real as the two men manage a farm with goats in estrus, snow storms and physically demanding work from dawn to dusk.
I've read Over and Over Again several times before it was produced in audio. It's been a favorite to be enjoyed "over and over again". However, Phillip Alces brings this beautiful book to life. He is an incredible narrator.

I’ve read this book before and was unsure of Philip’s narration based on the clip. But he was incredible. The accents alone but he did such a great job with the emotion and subtly on such a long and poetic book. So glad I grabbed it.

Absolutely excellent narration

I really loved this audiobook and the narrator did an incredible job bringing these characters to life! The writing was beautiful and the storyline felt realistic while still having a very cozy, almost whimsical feel to it. It did progress a bit slower in some parts, but overall a really wonderful read and a great audiobook!

Really beautiful writing!!

3.5

So first off, the writing was beautiful. Wordy, but pretty. The characters were sweet, the farm cute.

I kept wanting to love this book, and while I liked it, even enjoyed it at times, holy crap was I ready for it to be done. It’s LONGGGG and character driven and… basically nothing really happens?

My favorite parts were when someone is in pain. Welcome to my black soul.

Pretty writing

First. This cover! Gorgeous!

This stand alone was a loooong book – but Imre & Luca were worth it. Cole McCade weaves a beautiful story with so much detail that I’m fully immersed in this world. At first, it feels a little daunting, perhaps overwhelming, and I’m worried that I’m about to be drowned by someone who is just dumping words on the page. But there’s purpose and meaning and heart to his prose. The farm almost becomes its own character. I feel like I’m living at Lohere (and frankly never want to leave).

I really enjoy age gap romance, however I admit to being a little worried with this one. Imre being a family friend and knowing Luca since he was 5. A twenty six year age difference. However, I think by giving the characters 10 years without seeing each other and by having them spend months together learning who they are as adults, McCade removed anything that could have felt creepy about it. Luca, while young, turns 20 and is a full grown adult.

There’s definitely a slow burn here. When Imre & Luca finally come together it’s absolutely beautiful. Not without troubles. There was some angst and I found myself in tears at a few points, however it was a necessary emotional maturing and miscommunications that made sense for the characters. Lovely HEA and I’m a big fan of the epilogue.

Narration:
I have read this book every year and loved it so much that I was simultaneously thrilled it was coming to audio and worried it wouldn’t live up to my expectations. Instead, I wish there was some way to give this more than the five stars I had when I read it. Philip Alces exceeded my wildest expectations on bringing Luca & Imre to life. They are exactly how I imagined them and at the same time so much more. The personalities, accents, and the emotions were perfection. I soaked up this narration and know that this is a book I’ll continue to enjoy annually with Alces in my ears.

Perfection

What an incredible book. It was so superbly written and narrated I’m still in shock. When I saw how long it was I thought “oh no another book I’ll have to take a break in between “ however I never thought that through the whole story. It captures your heart and is so beautiful. It’s hard to believe there are talented authors especially in this genre. Most books in this genre are all about the same topics and getting to the sex for that shocking porn effect. This book was beautiful and yet the sex was hot but very tasteful and cute. I love it and the narration was superb as well. Not sure I would’ve loved it as much had there been a different narrator. So worth the money!!!!

Best yet

This has been a favorite book of mine for awhile. I’ve reread it multiple times. It’s so beautiful and moving. I love that we get to watch them fall in love. Then add Phillip Alces’ brilliant narration and this is the perfect audiobook.

Love Imre and Luca
