About this listen
It's the number one rule in this beach town: don't fall for a tourist.
But Jonah Lachlan isn't like any tourist I've ever met.
He's not here for a good time, that much is obvious. In fact, the brooding, boy-next-door cutie is clearly hell-bent on being miserable. Though he's here with his best friend, he doesn't seem interested in hook-ups. Or fun. The guy brought a book to this beach full of gorgeous single gay men, for crying out loud. Who does that??
And as if he couldn't be any more confusing, he seems superhumanly immune to anyone who flirts with him. Myself included.
Just one brief encounter with him on the boardwalk was all it took. Now I can't stop thinking about him. I'm sweating in places I didn't know I was capable. I'm at a complete loss to explain my feelings. I can't let this short weekend slip by and let a guy like that go. I don't care if he's a tourist. I don't care about our cardinal rule.
I'm going to break all the rules and dive in deep with this one.
Contains mature themes.

Story
Beau was devastated. After the worst day of his life, Caleb, the kindhearted and beautiful man he loved, had left him for good. Beau was now at the end of his rope - and the bottom of his last bottle. With trouble following him everywhere he went, he guessed it was only a matter of time before he turned into his messed-up dad, alone and yearning for a love he foolishly let slip through his fingers.

When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

A long time ago, in a suburban high school not so far away, a closeted nerd (me) and a closeted soccer star (Hutch) fell in love and planned to make their public debut at prom. Until Hutch bailed at the last minute, leaving me with a broken heart and unworn tuxedo. Tale as old as time, right? I spent the past ten years working to forget Hutch, returning to our old high school to teach and make new memories that could erase ones of him. I thought Hutch was ancient history, off living his professional athlete life.

Conor: It starts with a drunken text pic. The kind I would normally never send. Only, instead of it going to the flirty hotel bartender, it goes to some random stranger who actually responds. Wells: The first thing I notice about Conor Newell when he sits down in my high-rise conference room is how delightfully nervous he is. Then I see his tie. The same geeky tie that’s held hostage on my phone. The one that belongs to my anonymous late-night texter. And it changes everything.

Buying a house was supposed to be a good investment. Too bad I bit off more than I can chew. Between my job at the bank and my utter lack of home improvement skills, I’m in way over my head. Then a friend suggests I hire a handyman. Enter Tyler. Tyler is down on his luck after a recent divorce, and we strike a deal that he fixes my house while I give him room and board as part of his pay. He’s the perfect roommate, amazing at his job, and he quickly becomes one of my closest friends. But there’s something there, something I’ve never felt for another man before.

I’m never one to turn down a bet. Especially not when it comes to retaliating against the dean for pulling a dick move before summer break. So when the dean’s golden child arrives at Astor for his freshman year, my fellow troublemakers throw down a wager I can’t resist. The target: the dean’s son, John Thomas Hawthorne, or “JT”. The bet: corruption in any way I choose. It should’ve been easy. With his mess of brown curls, pouty lips, and good-boy reputation, JT is the perfect revenge. And even better? He’s straight.

There’s nothing sadder than moving back to my hometown newly divorced, homeless, and lost for what my next move is. When my little brother’s best friend offers me a place to stay in exchange for menial duties, I swallow my pride and jump at the offer. I need this. I also need Beau to wear a shirt. And ditch the gray sweatpants. And not leave his door ajar when he’s in compromising positions...

The job at Sunday Orchard was supposed to be temporary. A chance to gain some work experience, to have some fun. I had not expected to be welcomed into a family of gorgeous and weirdly efficient lumberjack-types, or to find purpose in the tiny Vermont town whose claim to fame seemed to be apple-based products and copious amounts of charm. And I most definitely hadn’t expected to fall for Knox Sunday, my grumpy, burly, fifteen-years-older, reluctant roommate, with his infuriating lectures, his hot-as-fire body, his superior attitude - I’ve never been one to put down roots.

It was just a one-time thing. And then a two-time thing. And a three-time thing. Before I know it, I'm in his fancy car, heading to the Wine Country for an extended weekend. My mission? Be the loving boyfriend you bring home to meet the parents. I'm risking my scholarship and my future at the elite Highgate Academy for a charming stranger in need of a boyfriend. Why? I wish I could tell you. But there's more to him than I imagined. I'm doing my best to convince everyone that we're a couple. But maybe I'd be wise to remind myself that we are not.

Story
Bennett Cole had lived next door to Mitchell "Mac" Campbell, III for 18 years of his life, in the small town of White Acre. They'd never gotten along, never seen eye to eye, and never understood one another, not that they'd ever cared to try. But when Bennett's so-called buddies ditched him at a party in the woods where he was assaulted and left for dead, Bennett pulled through. The emotional scars rendered him too terrified to go back to school and face his "friends" or his attackers. With little choice, his family packed up and left town.

The Next Competitor: To win gold, figure skater Alex Grady must train harder than the competition. As for a boyfriend, forget it. The Olympics are only every four years—everything else can wait. So it's ridiculous when Alex finds himself checking out his new training mate Matt Savelli. Cold War: American figure skater Dev despises his Russian rival. Arrogant, aloof Mikhail is like a machine on the ice—barely ever making a mistake. He's also sexy as hell, which makes him even more infuriating.

I like many parts of this but
I liked many parts of this but the storyline was not altogether there. I love Daryl Banner’s other works and this might be an anomaly. One of the narrators had an oddly affected mannerism that also threw me off the story. Hoping the next in the series is more tightly constructed.

I've been a young retail/food srvc worker...
and I don't know that any of us sounded like these kids or could afford a resort. I am aware it's a fantasy kind of deal, but when we're told their ages, the story lost a star for me. Otherwise, I had fun audio-reading it.

Great Start!
I always get excited for another Daryl Banner series set in Texas. This one is set in a resort town on the Gulf of Mexico. Jonah and his friend Rico head to a resort a long weekend of sand, sun, and hot guys. Kent is a local who has a rule to stay away from tourists. They’ll love you and leave and who needs that? But, rules are made to be broken.
I love the dynamic between these two guys and how they navigate the intense feelings they have in a short period of time. The town itself is a major character in the story.
I’m looking forward to more from this seaside locale and the men who inhabit it.

Another wonderful trip to Texas
In Too Deep is the beginning of another wonderful series from the amazing Daryl Banner. We get to visit the town that Toby and Vann from the Spruce Texas Series moved to. And get to meet a couple of guys there for the weekend and some of the locals. I don't want to give too much away. So I will just say if you loved the Spruce Texas Series then this comes highly recommended. Daryl Banner is by far my absolute favorite author and can't wait for the next book in the series.

kinda depressing until the last couple hours
it's needed, I know, but Kent is freakin depressing, and Jonah is too, to a lesser extent. also the reader, meh, not much of a fan I guess. his pronunciation made the depression seem almost ... snooty. his accent for Rico was good though. but even the youngest brother sounded depressed.

Love Dreamwood !!
Smart and witty storytelling from Daryl Banner! Jonah and Kent are heartfelt, sexy and fun! Dreamwood Isle is another fantastic world in Texas created by Mr. Banner ! The talent of Chris Chambers is joined by Kai Rubio narrating this beach Town romance!!

Less Banner than some, but still off
Full disclosure. I only listened to this title for 2 specific reasons. First, it was included in my membership so I didn't have to use a credit. Second, having just had my first exposure to Kai Rubio in Chip Pons You & I Rewritten, I was curious if some elements of his narration is part of his approach (it is). I would never use a credit on a Daryl Banner title. I have enjoyed three of his books, and hated three more. This book was a bit of enigma in my Banner experience, but delighted I didn't waste a credit.
Everything about this book was just off enough that I didn't particularly enjoy it, but had some elements that prevented me from completely disliking it. The narration is included. Chris Chambers is a Daryl Banner go-to, he is part of so many of his books. He is fairly innocuous, although his cadence or inflection can be a bit grating. For the most part he sounded exactly the same as he did in Finding Lucky, the voices were fully interchangeable. Kai Rubio definitely has a sound. While not as sing-song as You & I Rewritten, he adds a lilt that sometimes feels a bit sappy. His voicing of the friend Rico with a very obvious hispanic accent occasionally leeches into Jonah's voice. I again cry out to the audiobook gods - please stop with the unnecessary duo narrations. Either of these guys would have done a fine job as they both voice all the characters anyway, why do we have to deal with two interpretations?
Then there is the story. Banner errs, as pointed out in other reviews, by making all these guys too young, Jonah and Rico, the vacationing friends from Houston are only 21. Yet Jonah has been in retail management of a high end clothing store for 2 years. That is so incredibly unlikely, not to mention where do they come up with the money to stay a long weekend in a beachside resort during the peak season. Then Kent, the local who becomes Jonah's love interest is 25. That tracks until he bemoans what the exploding tourism has done to the island. He talks about 15 years ago when the island felt like it was theirs, before property values and taxes went up. The whole time he's waxing poetic about how it used to be, I started thinking, he was ten when it started. How many ten year olds are versed in property values and taxes? I get that Kent was working in a funnel cake shop, so Banner might not have wanted him to be 30, but everyone was at least five years to young for the story.
Basically the story is about Jonah struggling on two fronts. The first being that he is drifting away from Rico, they don't want the same things anymore. Rico literally wants them to be tag teaming hot dudes non stop. Jonah is feeling introspective and looking to relax and read a book on the beach. Rico is non stop pressure, whether it is what Jonah is wearing, complaining about what Jonah wants to do or eat, and relentless that they are going to have tandem or group sex. He says at one point that he wants to be able to high 5 Jonah while they are each banging someone. It is a lot. So Jonah is struggling, and doing some rebelling against his friend. He also doesn't want to deal with a player - his word. So when he gets a free funnel cake from a very charming Kent, all Kent wants in return is a date. Jonah loses his mind, calls Kent the awful P word to his face, and he ends up stomping out of the bakery. Which by the ways sells cupcakes and funnel cakes, an old combo at best.
Things have to move fast as the boys are only on the island for three nights. What doesn't move fast is Jonah's self deprecating internal monologue, or Kents self deprecating internal monologue. Jonah is suspicious of everyone's words and motivations, Kent is guarded with tourists because people leave him. Oh, and his fraternal twin brother stole a boy from him once to teach him a lesson about tourists. This a pretty standard Banner stuff. Where it gets to be a lot is how detailed he makes this town. There are so many people, and we might only see them once. I also am very tired of these gay havens in Texas when we know how very different the reality is. Banner has no trouble populating his worlds with more gay men than you know what to do with - especially within the same family.
Had just a few things happened differently, this could have been a really good book. Starting with adjusting their ages, pulling back a bit on the insecurity. Make their vacation longer than three nights to allow for some plot development. Maybe flesh out more of the backstory. Rico talks about Tallahassee and what happened on that trip. It takes forever for it to come out and when it does, you're left needing more info. The reviewer that called this a slog wasn't wrong. This takes some patience, and unlike Finding Lucky - which I love, I won't listen to this again.
