About this listen

Living a lie, Matthew 'Mattie' Alexander is exhausted. It's not easy to keep up the pretense, the deceit, but it's safer. Coming out to a world that so easily hates takes a courage he's yet to find, so he pretends - pretends to be into women - pretends to love being a part of the university's football team. It keeps him safe, hidden. Until he meets Julian.

From the moment they first meet, Mattie knows life is about to change. He's yet to determine if it is for the better or worse. Living life through laughter, Julian is lonely. Without the jokes, the humor, he would be living on the edge of depression. Succumbing to his controlling father's demands, Julian finds no joy in the path laid out before him. Until he meets Mattie.

As soon as they cross paths, Mattie has the power to drive Julian's man parts crazy with lust. But can lust be enough to help Mattie out of the closet and guide Julian into a happier place? Limits will be pushed. Rules will be broken. But it's only together that they will have the strength to overpower fear, fear of themselves, and fear of others. Just how far are they willing to go in the aim of coming out?

The author has written the back story for Matthew & Julian, who have been featured all along in the series. It is a romance with a HEA, but with MM, not the usual MF.
Evans & Casteri handle the narration well with an Aussie accent.

Mattie & Julian’s love story

I liked Mattie, his family, and how well he fit with Julian. His dominant side was a plus and it was nice to see that even though he was the younger he didn't fall into the submissive role. His back and forth on coming out was frustrating but felt accurate. Julian's over the top behavior was a cover-up for his pain and a middle finger to his controlling parents. Sometimes it was a bit too much. I felt like there were times when big pieces of the story were missing. I assume this is because I didn't read the previous books in the series. There were sections that felt contrived and way overdone; especially the ending. Again, this may be due to jumping into the middle of the series. I think that if the author had fleshed the book out more I would definitely give it a higher rating.

I loved it just like the rest of the series. The series has a mix of drama, realism and boy does it make me laugh. I am purchasing each book in the series.

Loved it!!

Nice story, made me have some profound flashbacks from the similarities I had gone thru myself. But interesting intimate scenes and it captures the awareness of that age.

Aww, Julian..this was a great story of how Julian and Mattie got together. It was interesting to see a differenet side of Mattie after reading about him in the previous books.

Poor Julian had an awful childhood..you couldn't help but feel so bad for what he endured. Lila balanced the heavy emotional turmoil with some hot m/m sex so there's that..

Lovely quick read

Heart warming

An amazing story about discovering one’s self and loving who you are. Julian and Mattie are absolutely adorable, and a little too hot to handle. I adored this story. Paul Casteri was perfect for this story, he was a fantastic narrator. I enjoyed listening to this charming story.

Jan 2018 - I'm not sure what to say about this book. Overall it was alright. It might have been better if I had some back story from the other books in the series (but I have NOT read them). You wont be totally lost just reading/listening to this one. But there were a few places I was confused, some characters are brought up that don't make a lot of sense. Especially the Epilogue, it was a lot of info that wasn't included in this book so I'm not sure why it was added.. Anyways....

The Audio is Great!!! I could seriously listen to this Narrator All day long. I love his voice. He could read the phone book and I would be happy to listen to him.. LOL.

Nov 2019 - Update - Ok.. Now that I've listened to, and/or read some of the other books that reference characters in this book, I am less confused by some of the stuff mentioned. And this book was a bit more enjoyable the second time around. Still really liked the narration as well.

Coming out?

I really enjoyed this book. From beginning to end. I've had lots of sex that came easy but then I wanted to seek out mentoring or learning how can I help me find and obtain real true love.

I'm still learning how to be gay.
