About this listen

Dacen Becker: New guy in town. Wants to finish high school as peacefully as possible. No angst, no drama, play soccer, make some new friends.

As one of the only hipster-clothes-wearing, luxury-vehicle-driving teenagers in a sea of plaid, camouflage, and loud souped up trucks, he unfortunately sticks out like a sore thumb at Knoxton Falls High School.

Lucky for him, he’s a handsome, fun-loving guy with a heart of gold that everyone warms up to quickly. Well, almost everyone...but Dacen’s not one to back down from a challenge.

And when that challenge comes in the form of one hot boy with the body of a god and the lips of a sinner? That drama-free senior year goes up in a pouf of smoke before it even begins.

Ryne Sutton: Grouchy. Aloof. Sexy but kind of a jerk. These are the words most people would use to describe him. And that’s the way he’d like to keep it.

He’s spent nearly half his life keeping his shields up, and has no plans of removing them now. His priority is a kick-ass soccer season and preparing for a future in the sport.

Then the new guy crosses his path at tryouts and repeatedly afterwards. He doesn’t like him, wants nothing to do with him, yet can’t help watching for Becker around every corner.

Even if it’s just to give him a few verbal punches and scorching glares, Ryne’s empty shell of a heart flickers whenever he’s near.

Content warning: This audiobook contains explicit sexual content and is intended for listeners 18+.

For some reason, this story by Michaella Cole was so captivating; it grabbed me from the opening credits and held my interest more than any other MM story I have listened to from Audible (a considerable amount of titles) until the final words were spoken. I found the story to be so well composed and the plot so well thought out and believable that I went from tears to laughter in just minutes several times throughout the story. I don't want to give the story away, but between Jason and Ryne, the dynamics were so real that my heart was always engaged. Ryne's character was especially well developed and made for a fascinating thread throughout the story. 5 Stars, and six if I could give them. A fantastic start to the "Knoxton Knights" Series, for which I can hardly wait for the next chapter.

About Last Knight is this author’s debut novel, and it’s clear she has a ton of talent. What this book desperately needed was editing. It’s at least a third too long, and parts of the first half are so draggy — and ultimately so irrelevant — that it’s hard to understand why they’re included in the story. If all the useless scenes with Dacen’s parents and bff / friends / Ms Opal were necessary in the first half, why did they all basically disappear for the last third of the novel? What was the point of the soccer camp flashbacks? What was even the point of including soccer? The characters certainly didn’t seem to care about the sport. What became of the speech class assignment? And the wedding in NY? So many questions.

With tightening and editing (gosh, the word choice; there has to be another word for “wicked”), this book could have been quite compelling. As it is, it’s a solid three stars. I bumped the overall rating up one star because the narration is A+.

So much to like here

I really liked it, a good voice actor. The sound could have been better, the static sound in the background was annoying at times.

It was a cute and annoying love story

I absolutely loved this audiobook! It pulls at your heartstrings and us an incredible book. I am in love. I am in love with the story, I am in love with the characters, Ryne and Dacen and their incredible friends. I am in love with Michaela Cole. She captures your heart by the first couple pages! This audiobook gave me all the feels.

I absolutely love loved Jacob Nichols narration! You don’t get confused as to who is peaking. He is funny and his voice is deep and beautiful. His voice also fits the age appropriate that the characters are. This might sound like a silly detail to mention, but I feel like I heard the story played out perfectly in my head and knew who was talking when and what was going on. I loved Jacob’s voice, it was deep but you could feel the characters emotions as he read to you.

The journey that both Ryne and Dacen take you on in this story is fun. Figuring out who they separately are but also who they are together was so entertaining. On top of loving Ryne and Dacen (coolest names), I absolutely loved the extended cast of characters. I can’t wait for each of their audiobooks. They will be so good! Michaela Cole’s writing is perfect. It has you laughing at their funny banter back and forth one minute. Then the next sobbing trough their pain. But no matter what she gives you an ending that will have you smiling from ear to ear!

Absolutely Incredible Sports MM Romance!

Story was great and character development was terrific. Relationship progressed naturally and the angst level perfect.

The fight for love was worth it!

The storyline is great. Plausible back-stories, inventive character intersections and enough developing sex scenes to hold it together. One of my few concerns was how much kissing these boys enjoyed. In my experience (and having raised three boys) kissing is certainly appreciated by 17/18 year-old lads but there are many other activities involving mouths which command a lot of attention, too. There are passing allusions to some erogenous areas being kissed, licked and sucked, but they are portrayed as vastly secondary to lip locking. Older teen boys are not accustomed to having someone else touch them on most areas of their bodies so sucking or licking them in places below the ears can be intensely stimulating. (It’s called “necking” for a reason.) The sex scenes are pretty graphic, which could be a turn off for some. I found them appropriately erotic and am somewhat disappointed by their brevity. In one scene, in fact, the boys were nude in bed together and we knew where the action was headed. After a little kissing, however, the scene jumped to a few hours later when there was an acknowledgement that some kind of sex happened but we weren’t told anything else about it.

A definite subtext of the book is that few of us, but especially teen boys, communicate well in social situations. Most of the tension in the book can be blamed on bad communication. It is a prominent theme handled skillfully.
The narrator does a credible job of voice-acting. Distinctions between most characters are clear and there is a large cast to differentiate between.
It is too bad that Cole’s other books are not available on Audible.

Scorching M/M action interspersed w/ponderous plot

Before I get into my concise review, I would like to mention that I read the book two months ago, and this is my first time leaving a comment ever.

First, this book made me feel nostalgic. I don't know if everyone had the same "First Love" feeling, but, for me, it felt uncertain, inexperienced, wholehearted at times, accepting, innocent, and finally lovely. I loved it because it was an escape and the narrator made it even better! If you do not support LGBTQIA+, this book is not for you. If you do not enjoy listening to whiny teenagers, this book is not for you. This book is not for you if you do not enjoy listening to teenagers having teenage problems. If you do not enjoy lighthearted, teenage-self discovery, etc. THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR YOU! I look forward to the rest of the series, and I hope they come out soon! Definitely worth a credit to me.

THIS...BOOK!!!!!!!!!
