About this listen
Opposites attract in this low-angst gay romance filled with British snark and humor.
Life should be a breeze for a playboy like Charles Heppel. As the third son of an earl, he lives for the moment, partying and playing. Settling down isn't for him. Not when London is full of beautiful men who he hasn't one-and-done yet.
To escape his family's nagging, Charles applies for a temp job that matches his playful skill set. A role in a Cornish classroom could be his until the summer, if Charles meets two conditions: he must move in with the headmaster's best friend, and teach him to be happy.
Living with Hugo should be awkward. Charles is a free spirit, but Hugo's a man of faith, with morals. A man who almost took holy orders before disaster changed his direction. Only far from being a chore, Charles finds that making Hugo happy soon becomes his passion.
Together, they share physical and emotional first times. Ones that change Charles, touching his soul. He wants Hugo for longer than they have left, but learning to love with his heart, not just his body, will take a leap of faith from Charles—in himself as well as Hugo.
Contains mature themes.

Story
Jude's drowning when he can't save his family business single-handed. The last person he expects to throw a lifeline is Rob, a rival chef who once beat him to first place in a cooking contest. Two chefs working together won't be easy. Not when Rob is everything Jude isn't - popular, extroverted, and a one-time hookup. What's worse is that Rob wears his heart on his sleeve while Jude's still in the closet.

Malachi Booth is a supermodel. He’s used to moving about the world, sleeping with whoever takes his fancy, and watching the money roll in. The last place he expects to find himself is on a run-down farm in Cornwall, but a bad bout of bronchitis means that he’s stuck there. The only compensation for this dismal state of affairs is that the farmer is very good looking, even if he’s the grumpiest person that Malachi has ever met.

Hockey is in my blood. I learned to skate before I learned how to ride a bike. I’ve been on a wild ride, playing at the highest level for some of the biggest and best teams in the league. But now it’s over, and I’m not sure what to do with myself. So I'm going home to Elmwood. But I’ll tell you what I’m not gonna do—I’m not going to coach my buddy’s junior hockey league. No chance. I don’t know how to deal with kids, and besides, the other coach—who happens to be my best friend’s brother—hates me. With reason.

When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

After half a century of chaos, my retirement from leading the Community of Species Government has been bliss. No more hellhounds playing pranks. No more snippy demons demanding my attention. No more cajoling money from the wealthy to support the community. Just peace while I avoid my overbearing father and try to work out my next steps. Although...maybe three years of peace is enough. It might even be starting to get boring. In fact, an adolescent dragon crash-landing on my landlord's shed is just the kind of excitement I need - especially when he brings his species leader to my door.

Wells: The first thing I notice about Conor Newell when he sits down in my high-rise conference room is how delightfully nervous he is. Then I see his tie. The same geeky tie that’s held hostage on my phone. The one that belongs to my anonymous late-night texter. And it changes everything.

After years of military service, Evan Miller wants a quiet life. The small town of Ravenswood seems perfect - until he stumbles upon a vicious web of lies with his new neighbor at its center. Ruth Kabbah is rude, awkward, and - according to everyone in town - bad news. Thing is, no one will tell Evan why. Does she perform ritual sacrifices? Howl at the moon? Pour the milk before the tea? He has no clue. But he desperately wants to find out. The more Evan’s isolated, eccentric neighbor pushes him away, the more he wants her.

Story
Lina Ragelis prides herself on her bravery and strength, two traits that have served her well in her career in the US Army. Having been disconnected from her family since she turned eighteen, Lina has learned to rely solely on herself—and her slightly overbearing best friend—and she swears she prefers it that way. It's an easy lie for someone who has spent her entire life dodging love. Lina's pretty certain that she's damaged goods. But the truth is, she's the kind of person everyone wants in their corner, and the kind of woman many women want to love.

Moving back to Heather Bay wasn’t on Oliver’s agenda for the summer, but after inheriting a cottage in dire need of renovation, he doesn’t have much choice. Supervising the builders should be easy…except the man in charge is Oliver’s childhood best friend and ex-boyfriend. Lane’s spent nine years desperately trying to forget his first love, but that doesn’t stop him from fantasizing about Oliver in every spare moment once he discovers Oliver’s back in town. Falling into bed together isn’t supposed to mean anything, even if Lane’s emotions feel too big to be ignored.

We became famous overnight. One day, I was a twenty-four-year-old drummer slinging pizzas to make ends meet, and the next, I was a member of the most popular alternative band ever. Despite being world-famous, there was no connection in it. I'd lost touch with reality, with intimacy. I couldn't find a place to be normal. I'd lived my entire life straight-edged while watching obsession destroy my best friend. Obsession terrified me—that is until I met him.

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.

Another Smash Hit
This was my review when I originally read the book and the audio just made it so much better! I loved how Cornel Collins voiced these characters and gave them life!
Every new book Con Riley writes ends up being my favorite. Charles intrigued me from the beginning in Kier’s book and I was so glad when she told me he was getting his own book.
Charles’ life feels like it’s out of control a bit and he can’t seem to get a permanent position at any of the schools he works for because of his different abilities with dyslexia and ADHD. I swear to you Charles is so hard on himself at times it made me cry. Hugo and Charles have chemistry from the beginning and their journey is one you won’t soon forget. I read this book a month ago and I can still clearly remember the feelings and emotions it evoked in me.
I’ve said it before but I’ll shout it again, Con’s world building ability is second to none. She’s created a world you’d want to visit or live in and built characters that are so real and so raw and take on such ginormous personalities with subtle or not so subtle nuisances that you want them to succeed. You want them to be together, you wish they were real because Charles is someone so larger than life that he’d be a blast to hang out with and Hugo is so soft spoken and supportive and just a marshmallow you wanna hug and you want to be friends with them.
Their individual journeys aren’t easy and the journey they take together is a roller coaster, but it is very very worth it. You will feel all the things because of Con’s writing style and you will love it.
This book does contain religious undertones because Hugo was on the path to ordination before he took a side path but the book isn’t in your face religious. It’s just so darn good.
I recommend this book so highly! Best book I’ve read in 2021 so far by far!

Loved
This was such a feel good story. Charles was so misunderstood and struggling to find his place in the world, while also struggling with his dyslexia. And Hugo was just the person that he needed to show him that he was worthy of everything, but at the same time he was also broken and looking for his own place in the world. This is a story of love, trusting the unknown, and friendships that make you stronger. I absolutely adored it, cannot wait to start booked too.

Unexpected Jewel
I happened upon this book and this series by accident and immediately wanted to stay in this world. The flaws and challenges faced by the characters are real and uncontrived and their progress towards resolving them is earned and satisfying. Building their relationship took time and real communication and there were some laughs and some heartache along the way. Both Charles and Hugo had depth and were relatable in their struggles.
I was initially unsure how this narrator would handle the variety of characters in the story but he did so without sounding forced or false in any way.
There were some heavy subjects handled with grace and a skill not always seen in romantic fiction and I found that very satisfying. Love, love, love this story!

A pleasant little romance, plus a bit more!
Con Riley is to sweet romance what Garrett Leigh is to hard fought love. Both authors should be in your collection. Beautifully voiced by Cornell Collins, the accent is more posh, speaking to the characters in this book. He brings them to life, especially as the story heads to its conclusions and there are some moments that in a less reserved voice actor could have been unnecessarily dramatic. Think a Joel Leslie, who would have them audibly swinging from chandeliers.
The story tries a bit too hard initially to interject humor that isn't all that funny. That does balance out as the story progresses. The reader needs to know that this is an issues based story, Charles is a dyslexic, and ADHD figures in as well. He struggles as to find his place as a the son of an Earl, and the family isn't that excited that he wants a rather basic career working with children as an teaching assistant. Riley does a pretty good job of weaving that into Charles' experience, and not letting it overtake too many aspects of the story as some writers do.
His inadvertent meeting with Hugo, the school's religious figure. The have an immediate spark, and these two very different men navigate sharing quarters and growing feelings. The story is filled with sweet moments and personal struggles that resonated with me, and I would think most readers of this genre. The beauty of this book is that Riley doesn't need to hit you over the head with it, she allows the story to move forward and unfold is a very natural way. Highly recommended.
