About this listen
Heartbroken after a bitter divorce, Brendan finds solace in running his beloved flower shop. His vow to think twice before jumping into a new relationship becomes hard to keep when he meets Hugh, a flamboyant hairstylist with skillful hands and a cheeky smile.
Hugh has finally succeeded in opening his own salon, but the glow of his success is overshadowed by not having anyone to celebrate it with. When brawny, six-foot-three Brendan appears on his doorstep with a bouquet of exquisite flowers, Hugh is tempted to break his no-dating-clients rule. Their friendship blooms fast but so does Hugh’s suspicion of Brendan being straight.
One kiss changes everything though. Hugh’s world is set on fire, and even if Brendan gets cold feet, Hugh isn’t about to let go of what could be love. A story of second chances, idiots in love, and steamy jacuzzi scenes.
A standalone book 1 (novella) introducing the series of MM books from the contemporary Pursuit of Love series.

Story
The last thing I want is another relationship or another broken heart. All I need are my bees and the occasional hookup to scratch the itch. Okay, maybe meeting up with my hot contractor weekly is a little more than occasional. And maybe the way I’m starting to feel about the guy I’ve been anonymously chatting with online should concern me. But CaulkyAF doesn’t want to meet, and Cole doesn’t want anything serious, so what’s the worst that could happen?

I'm the starting quarterback for the Portland Pirates, and I have a thing for my son's teacher. Except I didn't know the cute blond on the beach with the giant dog was my kid's teacher until two months later at Open House. Christian took my breath away during my vacation and introduced me to things I never knew could feel so good and be so right. I think he just might be the one who inspires me to tell the world that this NFL quarterback is bisexual and in love with a man.

Then a friend suggests I hire a handyman. Enter Tyler. Tyler is down on his luck after a recent divorce, and we strike a deal that he fixes my house while I give him room and board as part of his pay.

It's official: my step bro is the biggest himbo ever to himbo. He's a massive blond beefcake with a soft heart and an over-eager smile. The mere sight of him incites a shaking hot rage in me. He's everywhere. He's around me all the time. So sweet and gentle that it makes me feel wild. I see him and smell him everywhere. When I can't see him or smell him, I hear him. The wall between our bedrooms is paper thin. I can't help it—I hear what he does in his room when he thinks he's alone. I hear everything.

There’s no way in Helgar's Nebula I’m marrying the candidate my parents have chosen for me. I don’t want to be the house-husband of some stoic warrior who only cares about training all day. Boring! Thankfully, I’ve learned a thing or two from all those rom-com human movies I’ve illegally downloaded off the intergalactic web. No one will see it coming when I pull a runaway groom maneuver on them!

If I had to choose one word to describe my new cocky costar, it’d be exasperating. Nikolas Adamos may look like a Greek god—and he certainly struts around like he knows it—but unlike everyone else, I refuse to fall prey to his charms. Unfortunately for me, Niko and I get paired to do a series of lovey-dovey boyfriend videos for our employers at Elite 8 Studios. And when you film the sort of scenes we do, up close and personal takes on a whole new meaning.

Sometimes I want to punch that smirk off Atlas McCallister's pretty face. He's cocky. A troublemaker. A pain. And, unfortunately, my stepbrother. We've been fire and kerosene since our parents got together, and to keep from exploding into fistfights, we've used challenges, dares, and bets to battle out our differences. Our past bets have been a little inappropriate—scandalous, even—but Atlas's latest bet has gone too far. Do I really believe if he loses, my straight stepbrother is gonna mess around with a guy? And not just any guy: me, his rival and nemesis?

Reed Ellis is absolutely gorgeous but a total newbie to camming, a virtual nobody in my world. I should have just deleted his message request for a steamy on-camera collaboration. Not everyone is cut out to be a camboy. But there's just something about him I couldn't resist. He's timid and inexperienced, quiet and closed off, but his fumbling first times play out scorching hot for the cameras, and our videos together are an instant success. I know I should just ride this out, sit back and watch the money roll in, and then move on.

My parents turned their backs on me, and I’ve done everything since to become successful and show them what they've lost. Only it’s kinda hard to be a success when you’re a walking trainwreck.

Fun short novella!
4.5 Stars! For my second read through of this novella I listened to the audiobook. The narrator did a fantastic job and both MCs were done so well.
This was a super cute, sexy, fun novella. If you’re looking for a short read after a long day and just need something easy this is absolutely a book for you!
I loved both Brendan and Hugh from the start. They were friends for a while and harboured secret feelings for each other so even though this was a short read their love and romance didn’t feel rushed or fake.
I loved all the different flower meanings and especially loved the FU bouquet! I am a huge fan of piercings in books so was super excited to discover all the secret piercings on one of the MCs! One thing I love in books is when the MCs just have fun with each other in the bedroom. There were so many laughs and funny sentences during their sexy scenes and love how you can feel the chemistry and rightness between the characters when that happens!
My only thing is that it was too easy because it was so short. Would have loved to have more time with the MCs! However, I would definitely recommend this book and look forward to reading more by this author!

Super cute
Oh, I just loved this!!! It was ultra romantic and swoony. This couple was adorable, and I enjoyed their beautiful journey. They were totally made for each other. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest opinion. The narrator did a great job bringing the characters and story to life. I enjoyed the accent too.

Loved it❤️
This was a lovely romance, I loved the combination of heart, vulnerability, and intimacy in Hugh and Brendan’s story. The narrator gives an engaging performance, maybe a touch distracting, but lots of personality. I loved how hesitant and skittish they are at the outset. I was so happy Brendan took a chance with his bouquet for his crush Hugh as it opened the door for a wonderfully romantic and steamy listen.

Great Story & Listen🎧A Charming & Steamy Delight
I enjoyed this book immensely, a sweet-and-spicy treat of a novella and a wonderful story to enjoy in one sitting. The characters are likable and realistic, easy to relate to and connect with. Brendan is a florist and a flower enthusiast, knowing the meaning behind each flower and color, knowledge that helps him make some meaningful arrangements. He has been living a lonely life after his failed marriage and his one thing he looks forward to is his monthly appointment at the hair salon, when his hairdresser, Hugh, gets his hands on him to do his magic with his hair. He longs for Hugh’s touch and wishes it was more, but Hugh does not show that kind of interest to him or does he. Hugh was clueless in more ways than one and it wasn’t until the obvious was pointed out to him that put a fire under him to go for what he always wanted, Brendan. This charming and delightful story has the perfect balance of drama, heartfelt emotions, and steamy romance. K.C. Carmine, thank you for the fabulously entertaining story.
🎧📚🎧 Freddie Wills did a fabulous job bringing the characters to life and did so with a complete understanding of who he was portraying, giving each a voice that was fitting and was believable in every role. He set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the character’s emotions, as well as their passion, and had you feel it all. Wills is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for the fabulous listen.

Hotter than a jacuzzi!
I first discovered this steamy short story as an ebook and loved it. Once I learned there was an audio version, I jumped on it!
The story is so much fun. Hugh and Brendan are both dynamic characters that you'll love from the beginning. Despite being such a short story, K.C. Carmine was able to write fully developed characters and love story that didn't feel rushed or lacking. The two main characters have actually known (and wanted) each other for a year. This story picks up right as they begin to realize they've both been a little dense and act on those feelings, so it's not an insta-love kind of story, which I appreciated.
The first half of the novella is them figuring out their feelings and what to do about the misunderstandings between them. The second half of the story is melt-your-device steam. Seriously, Carmine packed more heat than should be possible into a bathroom scene. But it unfolded naturally and didn't feel rushed or forced.
Overall, the story is sweet, fun, and swoony. Both MCs are incredibly likeable, though Brendan's loveable bear qualities are my favorite. As a narrator, Freddie Wills did a great job. The MCs are from different parts of London and he made their accents shine. I appreciated the authenticity there. And who doesn't love a British accent?
Give this one a listen when you need a quick, fun escape for a couple of hours!

Sweet & Sexy
I have to say that the audiobook had me falling in love with the story all over again. Freddie Wills gave voice to the characters that I heard while I was reading the book. The audiobook is short but it made cleaning, cooking and driving much more enjoyable.
I'll be waiting for more audiobooks from K.C. Carmine's books!

fun spicy quick listen
This was my first audiobook narrated by Freddie Wills and if he stays as commanding as in this one it will not be my last. He is British so some may need to turn the speed down, but I found it very easy to understand.
It was a fun and quick hot read. Hugh & Brendan have had crushes on the other for over a year and yet don't see the other has the same feelings. When a miscommunication happens, Brendan is hurt until Hugh comes to fix the mistake. Followed by so much passion, you can't believe this happens in such a quick read. It is not only spicy but sweet as well. Well worth the listen.

Spicy quick novella!
K.C. does it again!! The angst of this novella had me ready to throw the phone (if I didn’t need it) because of the idiocy of these two men. Granted, in Hugh’s defense, he was oblivious to Brendan’s advances, but there’s only so much ignorance one can use. But when they finally get their heads from out of their asses, fireworks erupted into flames of an inferno!!
Loved the narration, too! But, I also have a weakness for an English accent so he could have talked about physics and I would have been enamored. Either way, Freddie’s performance was honeyed and enticing. His ability to capture the emotion and energy of the characters, along with their personality was lifting. And the intimacy, his gravely and seductive nature sucks you right there. Amazing performance!!
