About this listen

Four men. Three stories. All egos.

This hot, steamy M/M romance boxed set contains Black Balled, Guns Blazing, and Hard Edit, by the mavens of gay romance, Andrea Smith and Eva LeNoir for your listening pleasure! And there is no shortage of ego with these couples!

In Black Balled, you'll meet enemies to lovers Larson Blackburn and Troy Babilonia.

Blackburn is an indie author whose latest release is obliterated by the renowned reviewer "Babu" of the Bluffington Gazette and followed by thousands on Greatreads. Let the social media war begin between these two alphas and watch the stakes reach a sizzling crescendo!

Book 2, Guns Blazing finds Larson's submissive, Lloyd Ledbetter, still smarting from being kicked to the curb.

Although a sexual submissive, Lloyd is quite the dominant in the court room as a high-powered defense lawyer. When Luke Gunner shows up in his office, Lloyd has his work cut out for him, both legally and emotionally. Gunner is so not his type, but then, he's also not one to be deterred when he sees something he wants, and Luke wants Lloyd in every way.

Book 3, Hard Edit, is the continuation of Larson and Troy's relationship. It's all fun and games until egos get hurt.

When Troy's debut novel, Bridge to Lonely, threatens to overshadow Larson's own success, inviting a past shadow into the light of their present, the two alphas must learn to adjust.

But as Troy's old flame decides to make an appearance, the two alphas are forced to test the strength of their love. Let the battle of the egos recommence - where sarcasm is the preferred weapon, and the testosterone levels go beyond the boiling point. Lloyd Ledbetter and Luke Gunner made a cameo appearance as Larson and Troy fight for their HEA.

Held my attention all the way

This is such a fun series. It kept me laughing.
1 story Blackballed
Larson Blackburn is a writer who is totally upset by a review his book got by Troy (Babu) Babilonia, professional reviewer. The review comments added to the outrageousness. This is a really funny story. When the first actual meeting between these two is in an elevator and neither found out who the other was. Later when they actually meet a war began. The disagreement between these two is hilarious. The author gave Troy such a sarcastic personality that he kept me laughing. The back and forth and relationship between these two kept me laughing till the end of the two extra’s at the end. The second review had me laughing out loud and everyone around me looking. The part of the competition between Larson and Troy over Ida’s baking is totally a visual I enjoyed.
2 Guns Blazing
Lloyd Ledbetter is upset by the break up with Larson. When his client Luke Gunner appears the attraction between the two turns into more than attorney/client relationship. Lloyd is an obsessive personality. Luke, a money launderer, is more alpha laid back. As Luke’s defense is being worked out, things are not what they seem. This also had it’s funny moments, especially the bathroom etiquette lesson. I’m still having a hard time seeing these two as a couple.
3 Hard Edit
This is a continuation of Larson and Troy’s relationship. In my opinion this is the best of the series. These two compete on almost everything and since they are opposites if gave me plenty of laughs. This is almost a retake on The Odd Couple. Troy writes a novel and is an instant success while Larson being experienced does not have the same success. They compete for Ida’s attention. They compete over everything include vows. Troy likes surprises, Larson doesn’t. Larson is obsessively neat, Troy is not. When their ex’s enter into the story it creates quite the misunderstanding. Their back and forth even during sex, is what adds so much to this series. There is so much to this story that it would take writing a book to touch on everything. I love this series and will be checking out more by these two authors. I was given a free copy by Story Origin and this is my opinion.

Guys Take the Cake in Drama

3.5 Stars = These guys really take the cake with the drama. Of course, even though they are a bit over-the-top sometimes, they remained entertaining. Lloyd and Luke's was my favorite of the three. Although, it was fun to have a follow up story on Troy and Larson.

The narrator was enjoyable but it was sometimes hard to distinguish the characters with there being so many male characters. Install, a valiant job.

Outstanding!

Andrea Smith and Eva LeNoir has written the best M/M stories that I have listened too! They had unique plots and delightful twists. So much fun in more ways than one. The old lady and her cat and the old lady and her dog made me laugh-out-loud. The men were a hoot also.
Joel Leslie had a great range and ability to bring to life the characters with his narration. I could identify each one every time. I wish I could give this more than five stars!

Great job on all fronts

WOW! these are ones of the funniest books I've read. The characters were brilliant, cynical, and lovable.
I loved all three stories and all the bonus scenes.
The sex scenes are HOT and the love stories captivating.
The narrator did an amazing job narrating the 4 main characters of the books, giving each one his own voice, as well as to the side characters.
Great job on all fronts.
I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Amazing Stories !!!

The men in this bundle are very realistic and down to earth . Blackburn and Baby are the ultimate enemies to lovers couple ! They made me laugh out loud so many times and they are so romantic . I loved their competition with the neighbor and her cat also . Lloyd is a sweetheart and I am so glad he found his HEA . The relationship dynamic between Lloyd and Gunner is interesting and quite refreshing . The mystery in this book is also kept me engrossed .

The narration by Joel Leslie was perfection . He did a great job portraying the characters voices , personalities, and emotions !

hold on for a great adventure

I listened to these out of order and enjoyed them, but relistened because yes it's that good. The characters drew me in, and I was invested in their journey bumps, drama, and all. So many memorable events and lines captivated me and won't be soon forgotten. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.

The title says it all!

I started this book and hated both characters immediately, but as I read on I changed my mind. I found myself laughing more than fuming. I found them both perfect for each other and the others that end up in their tornado of a relationship. The more involved I got the more I found them growing on me. And Ida (and her frying pan) is just the best neighbor. I really loved her conversations with "her boys". I really enjoyed all three of these books and the whole family unit.

Suprised BUT Love

Ok so let me start this by saying M/M is not my cup of tea and I never thought it would be. With that said.......OMG, I love this series!! It took me a minute to get into them but as soon as I started, I could not stop listening to them. These are HOT books, and I did not think they would be like that. I am so happy I gave them a chance. All four of these men are hot AF!! I know the series is three books long, but I feel like I want even more to the story. Larson and Troy are my favorite pair out of the two. I love how Troy calls Larson Wifie all the time.... and just the way they show each other how much in love they are is great. The old lady is my all-time favorite character though. The way she loves those men is my favorite part of the book.

A Dammm Good Collection

I rarely write reviews but I had to take the time out to do one on this collection. The credit was more than worth it I must say. The stories were so well written and I have to give props to both authors for bringing to life these amazing stories. The characters were well developed and that carried the story so well for me. Aside from the well written stories, the narration was on point! Joel Leslie has weaved his way in my top 5 male voices with this one. I was amazed at how he switched between characters with ease and kept me hooked the entire 23h 14m. Thank you for this one will definitely be looking out for more from both the authors and narrator.

A great read! Heart felt, sincere, smart, funny . . . . . . .

I so enjoyed this read, the audio version by Joel Leslie, a huge hit with me. Three stories, each totally different, each offering life lessons in a sincere, and often very funny way. I love to laugh, and these authors, along with the narrator, provided “laugh out loud” moments time after time. I haven’t READ a book in years, but rather switched to the Audible version many years ago. This book rewarded me tenfold. This is the first written review I’ve ever done - I HAD to do this for the authors and narrator, feeling it was only fair to thank them for so much entertainment.
