John is an exceptionally good lawyer. He’s driven, arrogant, and hides a warm heart beneath a façade of cool politeness. He’s used to people disliking him, but for some reason, when meeting Matt in London, the other man’s open dislike bothers him. He’s therefore surprised to find himself offering Matt a place to stay in his villa in the South of France while he’s working nearby. He’d actually planned to spend the summer working on his book and plotting to get his ex-wife back.

The Summer of Us is a contemporary MM Romance and a spinoff of the Beggar’s Choice series. John is a successful lawyer used to people thinking he’s cold, but he doesn’t like the fact that Matt doesn’t like him. When Matt finds himself committing to renovating a money pit within three months in the south of France, he’s surprised when John offers to let him stay with him at his villa while he’s working. But will these three months bring them even closer than either one of them expected?
I adored this book so much! Matt was such a beautiful character and his anxieties were absolutely relatable. John was such a perfect match for him and I loved the evolution of their relationship. Joel Leslie is an incredible narrator and I loved his interpretation of this story.
Overall this was a five star listen! I loved these characters and their story so much!! This book has some potential triggers, so please check if you’re sensitive. This book was a smidge of a slow burn, but once the spice got started, it was fantastic - so overall two flames for spice
If you’re a fan of bi awakening, opposites attract, with wonderful sass and banter, then absolutely pick this one up! Even though this is a spinoff from the Beggar’s Choice series, it can be read as a standalone.
