About this listen

After Fazil Kurt breaks up with his girlfriend, a business trip to Seattle offers some much-needed time away. Sent by S. R. Anderson Consulting, Fazil is there to help audit Singularity Storage, a company they are trying to save. His first discovery is intriguing to say the least: One of Singularity's engineers is Todd Douglas, Fazil's first love.

He knows better than to get personally involved on a job like this. Back in high school, Todd broke Fazil's heart more times than he could count, but both men have grown so much since then - and Fazil never could say no to Todd....

Contains mature themes.

Love it

Nerd kink alert
Iggy's voice is perfection for this book I absolutely loved it.
This book does not have a Bdsm theme like the others in the series but it's still a little kinky, just a very soft nerdy kink. I loved it, it was funny and sweet and more about the relationship than anything else. Like the previous books you can get a little lost with the business/ tech talk. Still great buy :)

Todd, you frickin donut

I know it was part of the character development that Todd never brought up moving to Pittsburgh as an option but the fact that it was never brought up once with even the slightest consideration by him or literally anyone until he had his big epiphany made me so damn frustrated I wanted to throw my device at a wall. I just kept screaming in my head "YOURE THE ONE WITH THE CRAPPY JOB, JUST MOVE TO HIM"
Everything else about the story was lovely.

fun

Mx Zabo set this series in Pittsburgh and in my experience and memory they got Murray Ave right the characters are relatable,(at least to my younger self) and find themselves in messy and highly erotic and complex situations

Pretty Good

I did not enjoy this book so much but its a personal preference - I find it very frustrating when "lack of communication" is the driving force of the plot. I suppose it makes sense since that was the issue the first time their relationship didn't work out . The narrator is great

Loved listening to it again

I love the book so much I forgot how many times i listen to it over and over again. I know Fazil and Todd are in the last book but what happened when they told everyone that they were already married.

Love this series! And as always, Iggy nails it.

Do yourself a favor and get all of them. Fantastic!! Just enough kink and Tech, and diversity and hotness to keep you not wanting to stop. Listened all in one sitting. Now I'm sad it's done. Hope there are more?

Playful & tearful

This is an “old lovers reunite” book. I sometimes struggle with these because when I’ve gotten together with an ex, it just makes me more aware of why they are an ex. But this pair had overcomeable problems. They clicked with each other but had to deliberately unlearn old habits to stay the course.

Fazil & Todd have some fun roleplaying adventures which are less “formal” or of a type than scenes in previous series’ books. They even make their own RPG type sex adventure. The narrator, while pretty good on names for Turkish food, had some pronunciation gaffes including one where he conflated ADD with D&D, leading to “The A D & D” manual. Eschew and a few other words were not said as I would have expected. It wasn’t terrible but it was common enough to knock a star.

There was a lot of the Seattle area setting worked into the story. Sometimes it was fun, like the hot chocolate or Space Needle excursion. Sometimes it got overzealous. The Seattle Underground tour is a fun and interesting tour but it didn’t need to be recapped in its entirety here.

The negative work dynamics displayed at the client site are sadly common. Why toxic people are kept and the people who point out toxic people aren’t remains mysterious to me. Gee, you have one “good” engineer who is nasty to other colleagues & an unqualified VP nepotism hire, both of whom have overmuch influence and you wonder why the company is floundering & needs outside assistance…

It’s much nicer to work places where toxic people are shut down or let go, like in Sam’s company. Recurring characters from the series have various roles & cameos that I thought worked well. They’ve become a supportive team, so they are brought in for story as well as easter eggs for fans. Lots of heartfelt chats over drinks.

There is a lot of tear jerking backstory/reconciliation going on for a lot of the first half in particular, so beware in advance if you’re prone to tear up & plan to read this in public. But in general, the relationship brings more light than darkness so it gets less angstful in fits and starts. The pacing is quite good, although I might have smacked Todd upside the head a smidge earlier. It works. Recommended.

Very enjoyable

Smoking hot 🔥, very likeable characters and an interesting storyline. Stands on its on, but it's nicer if you've read the other books in the series.

Too Much

I ended up hating both main characters. The story was nonsensical and unsatisfying. The only saving grace was the narrator.

well done except for a protracted drama end that has no explanation beyond character idiocy

a story fails when one of the main characters is a complete idiot, repeatedly, but without any explanation as to why or other character traits other than being a self centered idiot. So, yeah. That rather spurred the experience. Being an idiot for sake of drama falls flat. Also, urge to slap said character upside the head or at least fight for his own job and life. Ugh.
