About this listen
"Pearson’s a common name.”
“It can’t be him.”
“God wouldn’t be that cruel.”
A painful history
Walking into the job interview confirms Ben White’s worst fears. It’s been eight years since high school, yet he can still recall Wade Pearson’s taunts.
There’s always a chance Wade isn’t the same homophobic asshole Ben knew. Yeah, right.
Except the boy Ben remembers has grown into one seriously hot, brooding man. In another life, Ben would have climbed him like a tree. Wade’s gaze still makes Ben shiver - although now for entirely different reasons.
A secret longing
As soon as Wade read Ben’s application, he knew he had to see him. Ben’s still as gorgeous as Wade remembers. It’s obvious he doesn’t expect to get the job, given their history.
But Wade has an agenda. He has to make it up to Ben for treating him so badly - not that Ben will ever know why he acted like he did. Seeing him every day only heightens Wade’s regret. If he’d had more courage back then, maybe he and Ben could have been something.
The least he can do is show Ben he’s changed.
There’s no way Wade can get what he really wants - Ben’s heart.

Story
Different backgrounds, different paths, but one thing remains solid, even eight years after they graduated—their friendship. Holidays, weddings, funerals, birthdays, parties—any chance they get to meet up, they take it. It’s an opportunity to share what’s going on in their lives, especially their love lives. Back in high school, they knew four of them were gay or bi, so maybe it was more than coincidence that they gravitated to one another.

Story
Chris Lomax swore he’d never return to Saugatuck, but nothing could have prevented him from coming home to the small lakeside town, not once he saw the news about the fire - and Hunter, the only person ever to steal his heart. He must make sure Hunter is okay, and service dog Lucy could lend a helping paw. Firefighter Hunter Drake never expected to see Chris again. He thought he’d lost his best friend for good when Chris jilted Hunter’s sister at the altar. What he doesn’t understand is why Chris came back - and why he won’t leave.

I’ve watched Casey grow up. I never imagined how the sweet, scrawny kid would turn into a hot, muscular man. A hot guy who just came out. Casey torments my thoughts. And my dreams. I need to stay far, far away from my best friend’s kid brother. Should be easy, right? I can find plenty of guys to distract me. Problem is, all I want is the one man I can’t have.

Story
The job at Sunday Orchard was supposed to be temporary. A chance to gain some work experience, to have some fun. I had not expected to be welcomed into a family of gorgeous and weirdly efficient lumberjack-types, or to find purpose in the tiny Vermont town whose claim to fame seemed to be apple-based products and copious amounts of charm. And I most definitely hadn’t expected to fall for Knox Sunday, my grumpy, burly, fifteen-years-older, reluctant roommate, with his infuriating lectures, his hot-as-fire body, his superior attitude - I’ve never been one to put down roots.

Story
Raising my sister's autistic son was an unexpected plot twist in my own life. But I loved every minute of it. Even if those minutes meant everything ran on a rigid schedule with little time for anything else. I lived my life for him: software developer by day, bartender by night. He’d want for nothing. And I had no time to want anything. But lately it’s getting harder to do it all on my own.

Payne. In search of: Room to rent. Must ignore the patheticness of a 40-year-old roommate. Preferably dirt cheap as funds are tight (nonexistent). There’s nothing sadder than moving back to my hometown newly divorced, homeless, and lost for what my next move is. When my little brother’s best friend offers me a place to stay in exchange for menial duties, I swallow my pride and jump at the offer. I need this. I also need Beau to wear a shirt. And ditch the gray sweatpants. And not leave his door ajar when he’s in compromising positions...

Tyson Langley thinks the king in Franklin University Kings is in reference to him. Star lacrosse player and God’s gift to the female and male population, there’s nothing the spoiled jock can’t have. It’s impossible for us to be in the same room without talking crap to each other. But I also have a secret…as much as I despise Ty, I want him too. I revel in our banter and in never knowing what he’ll say next. I’ve spent too much time on the wrong side of the law for someone like Ty, though, and if I want to escape my past, he’s a distraction I don’t need.

Buying a house was supposed to be a good investment. Too bad I bit off more than I can chew. Between my job at the bank and my utter lack of home improvement skills, I’m in way over my head. Then a friend suggests I hire a handyman. Enter Tyler. Tyler is down on his luck after a recent divorce, and we strike a deal that he fixes my house while I give him room and board as part of his pay.

Story
Between running a garage full of beefed-up gear-head mechanics and bailing my idiot brother out of trouble every other week, the last thing I have time for is a relationship. I’ve tried it too many times, and the ridiculous reasons I always find to end it have become a running joke around the garage. But I’ve learned my lesson. No. More. Boyfriends. I don’t care how many times Porter falls asleep drunk in my bed or how cute he looks covered in oil smears while I teach him how to fix up the vintage car he has rusting away in his garage; I’m not going to fall for him.

I’ve had a crush on my brother’s best friend since the moment I laid eyes on him four years ago. Warner Ramsey is 225 pounds of pure hotness, a media darling, and one of the best NFL quarterbacks in the league. Hell, he’s the reason I figured out I’m solidly bi. It was easy to keep my crush under control when I was in college. Now, we play for the same team, and every time he talks smack, I want to shut him up. With my mouth.

Ben and Wade’s story is a sweet and emotional one. Wade has hidden in the closet for years. When Ben returns into his life he cannot hide anymore. I really enjoyed the way the two men develop a tentative friendship that soon blossoms into so much more. Wade may have had reasons for doing what he did in the past, but it does not make it right but seeing Ben’s reaction and emotions on the whole experience- past and present makes for a beautiful story. Narrator John Solo does a good job of bringing out the emotions in this story and pulled me in to the story right from the start.

I enjoyed the first story of this series with it's age gap romance. At the end of book one there was a teaser for Ben's story. Ben was applying for a job at a store whose owners had the same last name as a high school bully that was awful to Ben. Ben was hoping that there was no relation, but at the same time there was a part of him who remembered how attracted he had been to that same bully.
A short time later, Ben interviews for the job with that bully. Wade remembers Ben when he sees him and he looks back with shame. Though Ben is qualified and the best candidate to interview, Wade partially hires him to make up for bad behavior. Though his solution to ignore Ben instead of apologizing leaves a lot to be desired.
Of course, close proximity and Wade's wonderfully sweet and somewhat interfering family change up the dynamics between Ben and Wade. I really loved Wade's family and Ben's friend group that it seems this series will be based on. I thought it was well told and Wade was able to finally acknowledge his mistakes and prove to be a fitting partner for Ben, so I was happy with the ending.
Good enemies to lovers tale.

But now at 26y/o Ben still carries crush on him. Ben applied to a job that he was sure he would love, oh surprise when he discover that is Wade’s family who owns the gift shop, Ben is afraid of no getting the job but after the interview he get it.
We learned the history between them and I love that we get both POV’s this gives us a better perspective of the story, their feelings, the truth behind the bullying, the secrets Wade carries and the forgiveness, I love the story and how is written, Ben and Wade were meant to find each other again and be together. This was truly romantic and sweet! John Solo did a great job narrating this book, I like Ben and Wade voices! I highly recommend it!
Love it!
