Dusty Gold
College is weird. One second you're studying for a huge exam in integrated physics and the next you're secretly drooling over the sexy rugby player living in the dorm next door. The second after that, you're sharing a bed with that same Insta-famous jock, staring up at the ceiling and wondering what in gay heaven caused such a miraculous and terrifying thing.
Maybe inviting him to stay at my family's house for the summer wasn't the greatest idea I've ever had?
Brandon Reed
I freakin' loved college. I loved being able to play rugby the most; losing myself to the game, watching the crowds in the stadium grow bigger with every win. Rugby gave me an escape. Then Dusty Gold springs into my life. After we end up as surprise roomies, a spring busts on his bed and we go from roommates to snuggle buddies.
Snuggling somehow turns into staying with him over the summer at his family's animal sanctuary. Soon, I find myself falling hard for the handsome and shy nerd. I've got a messy past, though, and Dusty's got a bright future. Will my ghosts ruin us before we could ever really begin, or will we both get a once-in-a-lifetime shot at a happy ending?
Contains mature themes.

I enjoyed this story up until the final act when Brandon's "secret" was revealed and Dusty (in my opinion) overreacted - what happened to trust? - that Dusty takes the word of an Ex over talking things out with Brandon felt wrong and kind of killed my enjoyment of the story.
🎧 Narrator comment: For me: Greg Boudreaux can do no wrong. He suits the characters, has good cadence, inflections and intonations and it's easy to distinguish the characters from each other. Overall an enjoyable performance and he bought the story to life.

The characters read realistically for the age group, in their thinking and actions (based on the similarly aged people in my own life), but I read to escape. This had too much of the immature nonsense, overreacting to not-actually-so-bad things that being young and inexperienced in life can create. It takes time and surviving some things to gain perspective.
There were some odd language things scattered throughout. I don’t know the nationality of the author. Maybe non-American English explains them away. Maybe typos explain them. Maybe narrator flubs explain them. It wasn’t bad, just an odd word choice or turn of phrase here and there.
I gave it four stars because the writing and narration were good. It’s not a bad book. Just not the right book for me
Meh… not for me

I do have some feedback as a reader for the plot and characters. There was a scene early on in the book when they first get to the sanctuary where Dusty is talking to his mother and there have been threats on the sanctuary. This never really went anywhere or was never addressed, so I was a little confused by that.
Additionally, it has mentioned a few times by Brandon that he has anger issues. However, in a later scene he tells Dusty that he has improved and come along way in processing things and managing his anger. This didn’t really make sense to me as the reader because in the previous chapters he had gotten into two fights with physical altercations and even in one of them Dusty received a blow to the head. It kind of felt disingenuous and borderline manipulative by Brandon when he’s trying to apologize because we, as the reader, didn’t really see his improvement with his anger.
Overall, it’s a great story with great narration. The characters are relatable and Max does a great job of making you fall in love with them and their story.
