Publisher's summary

From USA Today best-selling author Marley Valentine comes a brand new emotional MM romance.

I couldn’t tell you when I fell in love with Gael Herrera, but I wish I knew how to make it stop.

Falling in love with a straight man is a rookie mistake. But falling in love with my soon-to-be-married-to-a-woman best friend is nothing but heartache.

Through all the years, and all the men I’ve fooled around with, he’s always been at the back of my mind. An unrequited crush I wish I could shake. A dream that was never going to come true.

When I whisk him off to a surprise bachelor party weekend in Vegas, I surrender to the idea that this is an opportunity for me to finally let go of my feelings for him and say goodbye.

But after a heated exchange and an even hotter kiss, everything I thought I knew about our friendship changed.

Maybe I had it wrong. Maybe, after all this time, we were more than best friends. Maybe, just maybe, he felt it too.

Ache is an MM Romance narrated by Gomez Pugh and Teddy Hamilton with a supporting performance by Emma Wilder. This is not a ménage romance.

OUCH.

WELL. THAT HURT.

I did not see that coming and I was NOT prepared. Lord have mercy. I should have known better too because I was like "wow this is such a sweet book". Then bam. Direct hit to the heart. Tears rolling down my face in public.

I dont want to say too much because I think you should go in blind like I did so here are some tropes instead.

-Hurt/Comfort
-Pain
-More Pain
-Best Friends to Lovers
-Cheating (not between the mcs)

The narrators are INCREDIBLE!

Loved it! A Must Listen!

Another amazing book by Marley Valentine. Perfect unrequited love/friends to lovers story. I absolutely loved Gael & Jordan’s story. There were so many highs & so many lows. I throughly enjoyed the journey into their world. I’m sad the book is over. I’m already missing them both! Amazing Narration by Teddy Hamilton, Gomez Pugh & Emma Eilder.

Jordan and Gael ❤

**might contain a few spoilers**

I loved this story. such an emotional roller coaster. my heart broke for everyone involved, even Elena which definitely didnt deserve what she got but sometimes life happens and you no control of who you love.
the accident scene narrated by Teddy was perfection. i felt every bit of emotion and my heart ached with him.

totally recommend 👌

Amazing and beautiful

I have enjoyed this book in both audio and text form. I have come back to it several times. I love the story and the feelings that just poured out of both men.

neither wanted to hurt anyone, but it happened. and the way the author describes everything is just so beautiful. they love each other so heavily and my God does that come out.

highly recommend either version to people...but the audio book really is amazing. this story prompted me to read everything I could from this author. I know it will do the same for others.

Narrators are important

This story broke my heart and then restored it. Had it not been for TeddyHamilton I wouldn’t have finished the book. Gomez Pugh was really bad. Every time he read I wanted to give up the book. Then Teddy Hamilton came and restored me. It was a sweet story but it’s very true… the narration is the make it or break it person. I wish authors would truly search out really good narrators like JF Harding, Teddy Hamilton,Aaron shedlock, Iggy Toma, Hamish McKinlay,Joel Leslie and my favorite Jack DuPont. It’s a good story. Just fast speed it through Gomez Pugh.

Sweet, Sexy Second Chance

loved it. narrators spot on.. very well done. I liked the fact that while there were internal struggles, Jordan and Gael did little actual toying around. lovely dynamic between these two. I thought the epilogue.. even the bonus content online a bit unsatisfying. overall I got my resolution I wanted though as you felt the characters were long resolved on their futures.
