About this listen

I thought we were building a friendship. Turns out I’m falling in love.

I’ve always wanted simple things. Become the local sheriff like my dad. Get married and have kids. Build a life in Forestville.

I’ve done all that...but it hasn’t turned out as expected.

At 48, I’m single and co-parenting my two daughters with my ex-wife. My chances of meeting someone new in my small town are slim. Have I missed my chance at happiness?

When a new high school teacher moves into town, I recognize a kindred spirit. Keaton’s my age and a single dad too, and we hit it off, becoming friends.

The more time we spend together, the closer we grow. I love hanging out with him, and he seems to feel the same way.

When I realize our friendship has become something more, it’s the biggest shock of my life. I’ve never been attracted to men, but I can’t deny my feelings for Keaton.

But he and his sons struggle to feel at home in Forestville, and I can’t ever see myself leaving, so what does that mean for us? Is there even an “us”, or am I delusional in thinking we have a future together?

Awakening the Sheriff is a small-town single-dads romance with a bisexual awakening between two men who grow from friends to lovers. This gay romance novel is the second book in the Forestville Silver Foxes series, a contemporary small-town MM romance series featuring hot silver foxes and the men who fall in love with them. Each book can be listened to as a stand-alone.

Loved This Couple

Enjoyed reading their love story. I did wonder what happened to Raoul (the 17 year old runaway the sheriff met at the LGBT+ half way house). I sort of thought the sheriff would adopt him. But otherwise I liked how the story ended.

Such a history especially with mature MCs my age. Loved it very much. Michael is amazing as usual.

Not my thing but if it's yours...

I tolerate children in books when they play a Minor supporting role. Unfortunately for me, the kids in this book were a third main character. But, I can never bring myself to give a writer a bad rating just because I prefer a certain component to not be present in a book. The narration is great, the story is solid, and and while I don't enjoy the kid drama, if you do you'll probably love this book.

Nora's Done it Again...

Love this series. Just ordered Book 3 - Healing the Twin. Nora treats characters well and introduces them fully. I am so happy to see this series continue. Only thing is... I wish I could live in a town so understanding and full of all these exceptional characters! Narration was spectacular as always with Michael Dean. As long as Nora is willing to continue writing these books, she's got a customer here! Thank you....

All the feels

Excellent narration as always. It’s got a touch of corny, but all the struggles and angst comes together in a loving, picture perfect way…would love to have the same moral compass as these characters!
Second in the series and I will definitely continue!
My only issue is the images on the book covers! You make 45 year old men look like they’re 75!!! Which put me off reading this series initially (and I myself am 47!)
