About this listen

Gabriel Wyatt is a big city Detective living in a small Ohio town. He expects a peaceful existence once he moves from Miami, Florida, but that’s the last thing he finds. Instead, Gabe discovers murder, mayhem, and one smart-mouthed stylist he can’t get out of his head. Josh “Jazz” Roman is a small-town business owner with big dreams and an attitude to match. He finds himself in the middle of a case that brings the dreamy detective to the front door of his Curl Up and Dye salon. Josh learns that the biggest threat to him isn’t a killer; it’s a man who wants something from him that he vowed to never give again - his heart. Both men deny that there’s something between them, even though they’re drawn together like magnets. Can Gabe convince Josh to let down his guard or will Josh let past hurts destroy his chance at a happy future?

Outstanding Audio Performance and Knockout Story!

5 Stars across the board! Not only was this an amazing story with amazing characters, but the audio performance was out of this world. WHY did nobody tell me about this book sooner?

I can't believe it took me so long to get started on this series. I've had this book on my radar for some time now, but I kept putting it off because my reading list is so long. I finally had the chance to get my hands on the audiobook and I couldn't pass it up.

At first, I really didn't like Gabe. He was a judgemental smartass and I thought I was going to have a serious problem trying to connect with him thoughout this book. He says some things to/about Josh that start them off on the wrong foot and they took off dancing with four left feet. No matter how much Gabe tried to apologize and set things right, Josh just wasn't having it.

Josh was my favorite of the two MC's, and my favorite Aimee Nicole Walker character overall as well. He was sweet and sassy, not afraid to tell it like he sees it, and faaarrr too fabulous to put up with Gabe's judgemental ass. Everytime a Josh chapter started I knew I was in for a good laugh. His character was hilarious, fierce, sweet, and strong all at the same time.

Despite taking their sweet old time getting together, the romance between Josh and Gabe was worth every excruciating second of waiting. They were a perfect fit together emotionally and physically, and oh boy did they burn it up in the bedroom. I was not expecting this level of sizzle from Walker, but this book was haawwwtt.

And lets give a round of applause for Joel Leslie!! When I decided to read this book, I had no idea that Joel Leslie was the narrator. I've listened to one of his previous audio narrations (Devotion by Grace R. Duncan) and I was a little on-the-fence about the narration. I felt like Leslie exaggerated the characters a lot more than was necessary, but this book was absolutely perfect. From little old ladies with a southern accent to sassy and feminine Josh Roman and the dark and sexy Gabe Wyatt, Leslie killed it! This book is probably the best audio performance I've had the privelege of listening to yet.

This was hands-down an amazing audiobook! The story was great, the characters were amazing, I loved the romance and the heat, it was a perfect narration. Couldn't ask for more. Can't wait to read the rest of this series!!

Great

I love it when an narrator can bring characters to life, but I do not to say it was a little rough at the beginning for me, but as it went on I adjusted to his storytelling and it got better.
My favorite voices are Josh with his sass and Savage with his potty mouth. But Gabe's voice is still bugging me, it just doesn't seem right.

Ooh! We even get the prequel!

This is the book that started it all, one of my favorite couples - Josh and Gabe. And I LOVE that we also got the short prequel in the audiobook, too!

Joel Leslie does an amazing job - as always - and I love his voices and how he brought this cast of characters to life. Josh and Gabe are just fire together, and he did such a great job. I'm so glad this series is making its way to audiobook format!

Such a great series

This is one of my all time favorite series and I’m so glad the books are releasing in audio!! Gabe and Josh are a couple that fight their attraction to each other and through most of the book we wonder if they will ever get to the next level. The Christmas scene is one of the sweetest scenes ever!!!
Joel Leslie did a fantastic job bringing one of my favorite books to life!! He voice range is simply amazing!

Fierce and fabulous

Joel Leslie can read anything, but his narration of this fierce love story is perfect. I enjoyed all the side characters and can't wait for the next in the series.

Dyeing to be Loved

I loved this series and really looked forward to the audio. I’m going to be in the minority but I struggled with the audio a little. I listen to a lot of audios so I’ve heard the narrator often. Unfortunately similar voices are used in other books so I spend too much time figuring out which books they came from. Also, something that bothers me is the long pauses at the end of chapters.

An entertaining read!

Overall: 4.5
Narrator: 4.5
Story: 4
Listening Length: 8 hours and 49 minutes

I've read this entire series on ebook and I am totally in love with Josh and Gabe. It was great to revisit the beginning where it all started. Joel Leslie did a great job narrating this story. I love how he gave Josh that sass that you just can't help but love. He gave all the characters a voice and personality of their own. I think he did a great job delivering the story.

The story itself was just as entertaining. I'll stick to my previous review of the ebook where I just didn't care for the mystery aspect of the story. That still stands as it just didn't work for me but I enjoyed the build up between Josh and Gabe.

Aimee Nicole Walker choose a great narrator to portray her characters and I enjoyed the audiobook version more than the ebook because Joel Leslie just did a fantastic job and it was entertaining listening to it all play out.
