About this listen
Anthony
During my seven years as a social worker in Gaynor Beach, California, delivering orphaned twins to their unsuspecting father is the biggest challenge I’ve ever faced. These babies lost their mother and they need a loving parent, but is adorable Scott Wexler up to that challenge? Transferring custody is one thing—walking away is something entirely different, especially with the stress of Christmas bearing down on Scott too.
Scott
After escaping a miserable childhood, I’ve made a fresh start in California. I’m in charge at the Gaynor Beach Public Library, I love helping people, and I'm feeling like an actual functional human being. Then social worker Anthony Rodrigues shows up on my doorstep with twins I fathered through a sperm donation, and suddenly I'm responsible for two tiny lives. Accepting help from the gorgeous social worker is a no brainer—admitting I want him to stay is going to take a lot more courage.
This 74k word gay romance is a slow burn, mid-angst, instalove with a geeky librarian, a by-the-book social worker, adorable twin-toddler terrors, and a beleaguered cat named Crumpy.

Story
Having spent more than twenty years as an emergency medicine physician in war zones around the world, I barely have a home to speak of. A daughter I didn’t know about has died and left a child behind, so I must get to Gaynor Beach, California to claim my granddaughter. Her temporary guardian is the first man to spark my interest in a very long time, but it would be inappropriate for me to have a relationship with this much-younger man.

I’m not a fan of Christmas. I’m happy to stay up in my mountain cabin and let the silly season pass me by. But when a friend asks for a favor, I can’t say no. Now I’m stuck in my cabin during a snowstorm, trapped with the most beautiful man I’ve ever met - who can’t wait to get away. He just might break my heart when he goes.

Rookie quarterback Riley Flynn knows what it takes to make it in the NFL. He's in Charleston to prove himself—to the world and his teammates, but mostly to his older brother, who's never believed he could be a star. The last thing he expects is for his brother's best friend, Landry, to welcome him with open arms and an offer to become roommates. Riley's always believed Landry was straight—but the way Landry keeps checking him out leaves him suddenly unsure. And Landry's hot looks certainly don't help squash the crush he's always had on his brother's best friend.

Hi, my name is Fisher, and I'm hooked on my dad's rival. I've been in love with Hudson Nash for years, but he's too stubborn to admit he wants me, too. For a whole bunch of stupid reasons. Like the fact that I'm too young. (What's a twenty-year gap? Age is just a number, am I right?) And a virgin. (Which he could easily fix!) And maybe not the best choice, given he and my dad hate each other. (It's not that ba—Okay, it is that bad, but our love could totally rise above, right? It would be epic!)

Story
Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

A daughter I didn’t know about has died and left a child behind, so I must get to Gaynor Beach, California to claim my granddaughter. Her temporary guardian is the first man to spark my interest in a very long time, but it would be inappropriate for me to have a relationship with this much-younger man.

Staying healthy is a fulltime job without adding in any heartbreak, so a little loneliness is a small price to pay. If he says it often enough he might even believe it.

slow burn romance
Listening to Anthony was like a warm hug—a heartfelt slow-burn romance that perfectly balances real-life struggles with tender, joyful moments. The narrator brings each character to life beautifully, from the dedicated social worker Anthony to the charming librarian Scott, making their journey feel genuine and deeply moving. This story has a perfect mix of humor, emotion, and a touch of holiday magic. A truly delightful listen that leaves you with all the feels!

"We need to talk..."
After finishing Hugh, which is also a story by Gabbi Grey, in this multi-authored series of books called Single Dads of Gaynor Beach, I immediately started Anthony. At the time I didn't realize that Anthony was the same Anthony in the Hugh story. I didn't like Anthony very much so I wasn't sure I'd enjoyed this book. I'm glad to say I was wrong.
First off, if you haven't read/listened to Hugh, stop and read that first, these two books really should be read in order. It would be a shame to miss out on the subtleties of these characters.
This story was another emotional read/listen. I also forgot to mention in the last review I did that Michael Ferraiuolo did a fantastic job with the narration of both of these books (Hugh and Anthony). He brought these stories to life.
Slow-burn, some angst, unexpected arrival, social worker with some personal problems, librarian with a rough childhood, hopefully these two will work through their personal issues

Family and Redemption!
I definitely went in not a fan of Anthony, but I loved how when it came down to helping out the kids his true colors of being caring showed. We get his backstory which definitely softened me up. I like the realistic journey to romance here. Anthony genuinely just wanted to help Scott, and the kids acclimate but, in the process, he became deeply attached to the new family. I enjoyed Crumpy the cat and of course Michael's narration bringing it all out vibrantly.

I enjoyed this story a lot. I'm glad we got to see that Anthony wasn't really as bad as he seemed when we first met him in Hugh. I'm glad he and Scott got their HEA. I enjoyed the audiobook for this one with the great narration from Michael Ferraiuolo.

Great audiobook
The storyline was good. Emotional at times. Michael Ferraiuolo voice the different characters well and performed the emotional scenes perfectly. The lack of communication between Anthony and Scott gave me anxiety but that anxiety made the book better for me. I would recommend listening to Hugh first though because i accidentally switch them around and Anthony gives small spoilers for Hugh.

Not for me
I don't know how I feel about this book. I couldn't get past the premise and the relationship seemed forced. There is no way this could happen in real life and I know I should go with it. I read books with vampires, dragons, alpha/omegas, etc. with no problem. But I could let go this time.
This book just wasn't for me even if the story was well thought out and cohesive.

Parenting brings companionship, then love
When Anthony, a social worker, shows up with twins at Scott’s door, it’s a shock. The story is that Scott’s best friend used his sperm donation, unbeknownst to him, then gave up her babies to Anthony at work.
Anthony knows it’s too much for Scott and offers to help, guiding him with getting the kids settled, buying furniture for them, and feeding and diapering.
Scott really wants the kids, and doesn’t know why his friend never contacted him about taking them, but at least with Anthony, and eventually Lacey to babysit, things start to settle.
They realize it’s not the best time to start a relationship, but can’t help wanting more from each other. Meanwhile, they deal with a vet visit for the cat, a hospital visit for one baby, and Anthony’s estranged father, as well as the babies’ mother, showing up.
In all the chaos, they still manage to fall in love and form a family.

Anthony and Scott
I admit I had a bit of a chip on my shoulder with Anthony. His behavior in the book, which features Hugh and Oscar, left a bad impression. Seeing how he gave so much of himself to Scott and the twins had me changing my mind about him. Anthony and Scott open themselves up and expose their pasts to build a solid and deep relationship. I loved their devotion to each other and their babies. The ending is so hopeful that I'm crossing my fingers that Gabbi writes us a follow-up.
Highly recommended author and series

Redeemed
Anthony is book 8 in the single dads of gaynor beach, a multi-author series, but can absolutely be read as a stand alone. Having read some of the other Gaynor beach books by Gabbi Grey, I had some inkling of the characters in this one but there’s enough back story or the characters are minor enough that it’s not noticeable. I actually read/listened to this before Hugh - which is book number 4 - and I highly highly recommend this and I’ll tell you why. I really, really didn’t like Anthony and I think his redemption would have been much more difficult had I read Hugh first. Does Hugh take place temporally first? Yes. Do the plots tie together? Also yes. Do I still recommend reading Anthony first, absolutely yes. Anthony is a social worker who was hard on one of his clients who subsequently overdosed and everyone blamed Anthony for her overdose. While that’s inherently problematic and I understand that, seeing how he interacted with Oscar and Hugh in Hugh …. Ugh. No. So open with him trying to redeem himself by helping an unsuspecting Scott with two toddler he didn’t know he had? It works. He sort of goes to help Scott and then basically never leaves. But watching him figure his stuff out and deal with some of his past issues - some of which just show up at the door - and how he loves those kids, well it works. As a slight sidenote, Anthony’s dad gets admitted to the hospital and the doc realizes he has a DNR so somehow he doesn’t get treatment? DNR and end of life care are not the same and often confused, and this perpetuated that erroneous belief in my perception. That being said, it really didn’t detract from the overall story too much. Glad they all got their found family.

Why are men incapable of communicating?
I liked this story, the premise, the development and the sweetness of these two men coming together for the sake of the two precious twins, despite being completely unprepared and mostly overwhelmed! But man, do they need to learn to talk, it seems a constant struggle with these characters! I must admit after listening to Hugh it took me a while to warm up to Anthony, but in the end he redeemed himself almost entirely in my eyes.
Narrator Michael Ferraiuolo is always a big plus!
