About this listen
One regular guy who happens to be a preacher....
Reverend Dr. Gabe Samson doesn’t think he’s better than any of the people in his church, so please don’t put him on a pedestal. While he’s never hidden the fact that he identifies as bisexual, he’s never acted on it either. Gabe isn’t happy to learn that the sole reason he was hired to pastor the LGBT-friendly church was that the ruling elders wanted a safe poster child for inclusivity - in other words, they wanted the rainbow flag without letting it fly.
Plus one easygoing, new-age kinda guy....
Seth Thomas owns Holistic Healing, a metaphysical shop and yoga studio. He’s never really been a relationship kinda guy, but only because he hasn’t met the right man yet. Seth is laid back and goes with the flow. When fate drops a hot preacher in his lap, why wouldn’t he accept the gift?
Equals a pair of men who click from the start.
The two men find it almost too easy to get together, especially Gabe, who is fully embracing his bi side for the first time. Nothing in life is simple though. While Gabe and Seth are busy falling in love, they face an anti-gay hate group, a divided church, and a ruling elder who is hell-bent on sowing discord. Between Gabe’s patient wisdom and Seth’s snark, the pair fight the growing drama with the strongest weapons in their arsenal: love and humor.

Dr. Corbin Davis is a busy guy just trying to do his best as a single parent. He may be oblivious to a lot of things, but surely he would’ve noticed something as important as his 15-year-old son Grayson being bullied, right? And what the heck is nonbinary, and why hasn’t Gray shared this all-important part of himself with his own dad?

I have to stop replaying the one night I spent with my rival. Trouble is, that white-hot encounter with the other quarterback answered a lot of questions I’ve had about myself, but it also led me into this mess where he hates me. I never showed up for our second date. Since, well, life happened, and the worst part is he’ll never know how much that night meant to me.

The only problem? Fox Fraser, the individual in question, is straight. Super straight. The kind of straight that would make a ruler jealous.

I spent college worrying about responsibilities and earning my teaching degree, so before graduation and moving to Atlanta with my best friend, Ross, I figure I deserve a little fun. I’ve never been with an older man, but the guy at the bar grabs my attention and doesn’t let go…for multiple rounds, all night long. The next day, when Ross introduces me to his dad, the last thing I expect is for him to be my hookup from the night before, in town from Atlanta for his son’s graduation. The best thing would be to pretend it never happened, which is easier said than done.

It started out as a little fun. When there was a man in my building on a hookup app, why not message him? Only we didn’t meet. We just texted - one night after the other, after the other. GoodWithHisHands was the perfect escape from my life, where pressure was always on my shoulders: my father’s expectations, the worry about my sister, Maddy, getting sick again, and her ex-husband, Ryder Lynwood, suddenly back and volunteering at the same hospital as me. I like talking to him, the same way I enjoy chatting with GoodWithHisHands. They weren’t supposed to be the same person.

Traditions are important. Especially in the South. College football. Rivalries. Tailgating. Halftime shows. Some things just don’t change. Until Reese Holland shows up with her long legs and no-bullshit attitude to audition for the prestigious all-male Rodner University snare line. It doesn’t matter how much hazing she has to endure from Laird Bronson, with his narrowed green eyes and arrogant smirk. She wants that damn spot, and she’s more than good enough to earn it. She expects there to be tension. Even friction. But not sparks hot enough to burn the entire campus down.

My first mistake was hooking up with my best friend. My second came years later, when we met again, and I fell for her. My third was letting her go, because I had to.

What happens when you’re forced to seduce the one person you vowed never to love? You get screwed...in more than one way. I walked out of Tucker Middleton’s bedroom seven years ago, leaving him hurt and angry. Now I need his help; the only way I can get it is to make him think I want him back. The only problem is we have silently vowed to hate one another for the rest of our lives. In order to get Tucker to help me - I have to seduce him. Easy right? Hell yes! I’m the CEO of CMI Consulting. If I set my mind to something, I make it happen.

With a nickname like "Sin", it's no wonder they call me the bad boy of hockey. Opponents curse me. Fans scream my name - in the arena and in other, much more private places. Penalties or not, I'm not afraid to dish out a little pain. But pleasure? That's my weakness. And no one knows it better than my best friend, Cassie Desrosiers. I'd have to be blind not to notice her rocking body and teasing grin. So when she invites me along on a trip to Vegas, my curiosity isn't the only thing that's aroused.

Drake Foster owns my heart, my entire being. He always will. As the pieces of what happened to us begin to fall into place, I realize our relationship had been sabotaged.

Loved
I loved this book. the story and the characters are wonderful. I love a story that doesn't preach at you and just puts out good vibes.
Michael Pauley does a great job with this narration. I haven't had a problem with any story that he narrates. S. Hawke does a great job each time, but this might just be my favorite of her books.

So many feels!!
Pastor Babe, lol, I mean Pastor Gabe is seriously the coolest minister I have ever interacted with even if it was a book. I loved everytime he stood up for the right way to treat everyone. Seth was the most perfect man for him. He was so easy going and sweet. Mr. Pauley once again did the most amazing job bringing the story to life!

How Not to Sin is great!
This is a great addition to the LOVESTRONG series. Yoga teacher Seth and reverend Gabe should be an odd match, but they are actually perfect for each other. Gabe's sense of humor lets him appreciate Seth's snark, and the way they care so deeply for each other almost immediately is heartwarming. This story features a fun, supportive, and sexy romance growing in the midst of a hate being stirred up by a horrible person in Gabe's church. Harold Danvers first appeared in How Not to Blend, and his evil homophobia is even worse here. He goes to great lengths to spread his agenda of hate and intolerance. Luckily, Gabe and Seth have a great group of supporters, and many of them are members of the church.
There are some scenes when I feel like the teasing goes on a bit long when a serious conversation needs to happen, but that doesn't detract from a very good story. I love the way the author, through Gabe, offers so many strong arguments against those attempting to use a few verses from the Bible as an excuse to condemn others. This storyline is handled well, without making the reader feel preached at. I appreciated this book.
The narrator's voice was heartfelt and impressive. He brought to life all the feelings in this story, good and bad. I never hesitate to listen to a book featuring his performance, and he fit this story well.

Tolerance vs Hate
The synopsis does summarize the book quite accurately but I want to expand on the humor in the book. Ms. Hawke brings snarkiness to a whole new level while keeping the adorableness of the characters. I’m thinking about the scene with an elderly woman, crystal phalluses, and enough humor to have me laughing out loud in a parking lot. Fortunately it was empty although I would have willingly put up with a few side looks. I’m not a new age person, but I find it fascinating that crystals vibrate at different frequencies. See, learning something new every day.
What I am familiar with is hate and there is plenty of that in this book. An elder in Pastor Gabe’s church played a major role in Book 1 of the series and he’s back again with a vengeance. Gabe is fighting to keep the church inclusive while this man is fighting to keep it exclusive, claiming God does not approve of homosexuality. The biblical arguments went a bit over my head as for years I’ve seen the book as a weapon to be wielded. The author’s liturgical knowledge was strong and deftly handled well. Did it change my position on religion? No. But I don’t think it was meant to. I adored Pastor Gabe who is walking a tightrope between the two factions of his church. I also adored his secretary Dottie who was the largest of tigers, protecting those she sees as her own.
I loved Seth’s easy acceptance of Gabe and his life. He embraces his role as boyfriend with great enthusiasm because although he’s had other relationships, none of them compare to what he’s found with Gabe. I’m not necessarily sold on new age stuff either, but I do believe in meditation and the benefits of yoga. So although there was lots of angst surrounding the church and the religious storyline, the relationship between the two men was fun and cute.
This is another great book in the Lovestrong series and I have to give a shout-out to Michael Pauley for his brilliant narration. His portrayal of Andy’s Gam Gam and the secretary Dottie was wonderful. He carries the voices from previous books and provides a stead performance. A great listen.

Absolutely loved it!
I absolutely loved this audiobook. It's a great story with fabulous characters, both principal and secondary. The book/audiobook is a great story, mixing both important and serious issues like homophobia, hate speech, and intimidation with reasonable. bible-based conversation and rationale responses. There are also big doses of humor interspersed throughout the story that kept it light, and balanced out the more dramatic moments. I couldn't stop laughing at the scene in the holistic shop with (grandma) Loretta examining the sex crystals! I liked the portrayal of Gabe as a minister determined to provide an inclusive religious experience as well as to be true to himself. I appreciated his humanity. He wasn't perfect, and that made him more relatable and humble. At the same time, he was fearless in defending his faith, his principles, and his congregation, just as I would expect a true believer to be. I loved how Seth inspired him to try and reconnect with his family. It was a touching encounter.
The narration was pretty good, although I sometimes had trouble telling which of the younger men was speaking when they were all in a group together. The pacing was good, and the emotions voiced suited the events of the story.
I received a free copy of this audiobook, and this is my honest, voluntary review.

I have loved this whole series, but I think this one has been my favorite so far. I read the books first and then listened to the audio. The books are well written and the characters are engaging. Michael Pauley does a great job with the narration. Well worth your time and a credit.

Everyone deserves to love who they want
I received an ARC of this audio for my honest review. This story is about a Preacher Rev Dr Gabe Samson and a Holistic Healer Seth Thomas. This was a great story about two men who fight to be together in a town where some feel their love is a sin. They handle all the anti gay hate in stride. The narrator did a great job with each character.
