Publisher's summary
One thing Liam Turner knows for sure is that he's not gay - after all, his father makes it very clear he’ll allow no son of his to be gay. And Liam believes it, until a chance meeting with James "Jay" Bell turns Liam’s world upside-down. Jay is vivacious and unabashedly gay - from the tips of his bleached hair to the ends of his polished nails. With a flair for fashion, overreaction, and an inability to cork his verbal diarrhea, drama queen Jay must have a screw loose.
An accident as a teenager left Liam with a limp and a fear of driving. He can’t play football anymore either, and that makes him feel like less of a man. But that’s no reason to question his sexuality... unless the accident broke something else inside him. When being with Jay causes Liam’s protective instincts to emerge, Liam starts to believe all he's known in life has been a convenient lie. From intolerance to confrontations, Liam must learn to overcome his fears - and his father - before he can accept his sexuality and truly love Jay.

Story
At 25 Hank owns a small parcel of land in Australia's rural southwest where he supplements his income from the property with seasonal shearing. Hank is a "shearing gun" - an ace shearer able to shear large numbers of sheep in a single day. His own father kicked him out when his sexuality was revealed, and since no one would ever hire a gay shearer, Hank has remained firmly closeted ever since. Elliot is the newbie doctor in town - city-born and somewhat shell-shocked from his transplant to the country.

Story
Davo's a pretty average guy. He has a decent job, owns his own home, and spends his weekends at the pub. He fully accepts that he's gay, but doesn't want to be one of those gays who are girly. He likes football and other masculine pursuits, and firmly avoids anything that could be seen as femme - including relationships that last beyond 15 minutes. Then Davo's friend and gay idol not only gets a boyfriend, but also adopts a baby girl. Davo is seriously spooked and scuttles down to the pub.

Marry me for one year. Payment: $1.2 million. Hayden Somerset is convinced the ad is a joke, but he responds anyway because, hello, $1.2 million. He’s broke, living in a tiny apartment with two roommates, and exhausted from praying his ancient car survives just one more week. His skyrocketing rent and crushing student loans aren’t helping either. At this point, there isn’t much Hayden wouldn’t do for that kind of cash.

Story
Do you believe in love at first sight? Paul Auster doesn't. Paul doesn't believe in much at all. He's thirty, slightly overweight, and his best features are his acerbic wit and the color commentary he provides as life passes him by. His closest friends are a two-legged dog named Wheels and a quasibipolar drag queen named Helena Handbasket. He works a dead-end job in a soul-sucking cubicle, and if his grandmother's homophobic parrot insults him one more time, Paul is going to wring its stupid neck.

Though I was born with the ability to see the dead, I struggled with it until my brother was killed and his ghost was left behind. Now, I’m determined to figure out who is responsible for his death…the problem is that Detective Maddox Booker, the one working the case, is a grumpy and stubborn man who wants nothing to do with me and definitely doesn’t believe in ghosts. It doesn’t help that I keep finding myself looking ridiculous in front of the detective, thanks to interfering ghosts who enjoy laughing at my expense.

Problem was, he wasn't a soldier. No, he was next in line for the throne of the Irish underworld. And he was determined to hate me from the outset.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

This is a great little love story
What did you love best about Loving Jay?
The fun descriptions of how J behaved and his personality. The way he and Liam interact and the protectiveness awakened in Liam are too fun.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Loving Jay?
The bashing of J and Liams' reaction were very touching. The you tube video bit caused tears in my eyes.
Which scene was your favorite?
My favorite scene was when Liam comforted J in the kitchen after his grandma passed.
Who was the most memorable character of Loving Jay and why?
Jay himself was the most memorable character. He is a fun person who would be great to have around.
Any additional comments?
In the past I have returned a book read by this narrator. He was awful on that one. Here he is very good. If you too have heard his reading of Tigerland and been put off him, give this book a chance. Where that one had little differentiation between the different characters this one is easy to tell which character is talking.

Very Sweet and Light Hearted
What made the experience of listening to Loving Jay the most enjoyable?
I loved the narrators accent.
What did you like best about this story?
Jay is an amazing character, his so called "verbal diarrhea" is hilarious and endearing. I also love that this book takes place in Australia, it is a different setting from most of the other books that I have listened too.
Which scene was your favorite?
All of the scenes when Liam try's to get Jay to quiet down from his nonstop rants. Very sweet.

Very genuine, very sweet!
This book caught me off guard with how much I loved it. It's very sweet, and genuine. I loved the characters and how each one had a distinct, clear voice in the story.
One of my favorite things about the whole book was Jay's character. In many LGBT romance novels, the love interest is described to be "anything but the stereotype". They write the boy to be "normal" and not in the gay scene. But what I loved about Jay's character was that he was realistic. Sure, there are a number of gay men who hate on us effeminate boys ("Str8 for similar, not into fems, sorry it's my preference") but we still exist and people still love us. Reading this was extremely refreshing and I absolutely loved every second of it.
I also loved how realistic the build up was. Nothing felt like it was over the top. Liam's internal struggle didn't drag on to the point where I wanted to stop reading like in other stories I've read. His character made me think of my own boyfriend, and it just made the story all that more heartwarming to me.
Renae Kaye, I bow down to you. You are a goddess among us, and I look forward to reading more of your amazing stories.
Sending love from Las Vegas, Nevada!

Loving Dave Gillies
I worried about listening to this book for awhile, I’ve had bad luck with Australian accents in the past, but this narrator was excellent! He did such a good job with both characters and I can’t wait to listen to more by him.
As for the actual book, it was just as fun as everyone said it was!

Loved it, so much fun!
I love this book. It is sweet and fun and light-hearted to listen to. There are just so many times I found myself smiling or outright laughing at the antics in this book. I loved every minute of it!
This story is told solely from Liam's POV. A young man who knows who he is and what he wants from his life - or at least he thought so. Until he meets that beautiful guy he's been looking at every morning during the train ride to work. Maybe he hasn't got everything figured out as much as he thought.
Just like for Liam, you couldn’t help falling for Jay, quirky and over the top as he was. Normally I have zero patience for drama-queens, but it really worked coming from Jay – you can’t help loving him for who he was. He brought happiness and a bit of colour to my life during these ours I spent listening to this book.
Dave Gillies was a new to me narrator and he did a wonderful job bringing this story to life for the listener. The voices he had for the different characters fit really well with their personalities, and none more than his voice for Jay. Add in the Aussie accent and you have a winning combination.
Loving Jay is probably my favourite book by this author and one I know I come back to over and over. It's the book I pick up when I want some happy in my life. So if you haven't yet, pick up this book and meet Jay, I promise you won't regret it.

Sweet romance
The characters were interesting and compelling. So often I don't get why the characters fall in love, but these two very different men felt made for each other. This is the kind of book that makes you want to fall in love. Dave Gillies brought the characters to life.
