About this listen

What if you’ve worked your whole life for a dream, to play rugby for the most successful sports team on the planet, the New Zealand All Blacks?

What if that dream is so close you can smell it?

What if you meet someone?

What if you fall in love?

What if your dream will cost the man who’s stolen your heart?

And what if the dream changes?

Reuben Taylor has a choice to make.

Cameron Wano is that choice.

5/5/5

Absolutely fabulous second book in the series... Jay Hogan only gets better with subsequent books and I just can't get enough of Auckland Medical Staff... Cam was sheer perfection and Ruben was perfect for him, after some trials and turbulence but knowing everything that was going on with his dad... brother... nephew you can't blame the guy but cheer for him and his romance with Cam... I absolutely adore this couple and couldn't get enough... can't wait to read the rest of the books. Jay Hogan does wonderful job to make story and characters real... conversations are not over the top and fake... they are very .. very realistic... loved it... Gary Furlong is a new narrator for me but he did absolutely great job and did this story justice... it just brought it to life for me.... so yeah.... 5+ stars for the narration... 5+ for the story.... and 5+++ for the overall :)

Jay Hogan just went from my top 5 to #1

I love these characters -- richly written, courageous, and real -- brought to life with great depth of emotion by narrator Gary Furlong.

Great story by a talented writer!

I read and listen to a romance novel expecting to be pulled in and held there from beginning to end by the writer. Jay Hogan does exactly that, from when Reuben and Cameron met, through their lives, up to the moment of the outing in the hospital. The story plot weaves around them perfectly, I loved it every step of the way. And listening to this novel is made a treat with Gary Furlong’s talents; he is a man who can really tell a story, with all the voices! Beautiful!
I recommend this book, no, I recommend this whole series. ❤️

Loved it!!

This was even better than the 1st one! I really was hoping Cam would get his story. He was such a character in the first book. Out and proud and totally fabulous, he is a charge nurse! Reuben a closeted rugby player whose is working his way to the All Blacks has it bad for Cam. But his bigoted Dad is a major road block. Add in a brother with a special needs son who is drowning in responsibility Rueben’s life is chaos. The narration is superb!

Love it!

Amazing story!!! Had me hooked from beginning to the End!. Although I wanted to smack Reuben a couple times it didn’t ruin my enjoyment of the whole story

Slow burn done right

Two fascinating and intense characters with high heat between them, but unable to act on it for awhile into the book. It doesn’t keep you waiting until the end and the attraction between them is magnetic. The pairing of the would-be pro athlete and the take-charge Charge Nurse is the reverse of what you’d expect and makes for sizzling heat. Cam and Reuben are incendiary together.

As nearly always, Gary Furlong’s narration is perfect. The quality of his voice, his acting, and his ability to do accents makes this one of his best. I’m sure Kiwis can pick the accent apart, but to an American it’s beautiful. A good narrator can make or break an audiobook and he makes a really good story great.

Loved this book!

The writing here was so good! Almost too much angst for me, the on-again, off-again romance was heartbreaking. But the good times in between make up for it. I really got the book bc of Gary Furlong, and he did not disappoint!! I could listen to him read a grocery list, lol.

Mix bag

The good:
-MC character development
-Rugby part of the story
-Reubens nephew
-The Meet Cute was great
-Happy Ending, but with realistic negatives

The bad:
-Far too long
-Repetitive angst (exhaustingly the entire first 2/3rds of it)
-Reuben's Father was too over the top villain.
-Didn't buy their love for each other because of how little time they spent together due to Reuben being in the closet
-The overuse of the word guyliner. We know we get Cam's confidence and unabashed queerness but it could have been a drinking game, and everyone would have died of alcohol poisoning

The best part and saving grace was Gary Furlong's narration. A++++
