Life Is All About Messing Up and Trying Again

I've owned this ebook every since September 2016. As a matter of fact I own twenty of Harper Logan's books. My TBR piles include quite a few of her books. When the opportunity came to listen to an Audiobook version of one of her books was a dream come true. I leaped at the chance to listen to an ARC of this book, OUR REUNION in exchange for an honest review.

This story was so easy to listen to. The narrator was really great. You were pulled into the book by the narrator Chase Johnson putting the right emphasis on each individual character. You didn't get confused as to who was talking in this book featuring alternating main characters with each chapter. Have you gone to any of your high school class reunions? Or assiduously avoided them like the plague? Why wouldn't someone want to go to one? Our two characters had different yet similar reasons why neither didn't. Yet in an attempt to avoid each other they ended up in Spain on vacation looking for "love" or at least "love the one you're with".

The one you're with happened to be the last person you wanted to see or possibly to be seen e. There seemed to be a great deal of unfinished business between the two of them. The former high school jock and the gay nerd. Something that has remained unsolved to. Even though it was years in the making they finally had a chance to explore what could have been.

This is a humorous book that has its frustrating moments. At times I just wanted to bash the two guys heads together. Or scream at them to speak up. Or quit assuming one knew what the other was feeling. It is also a very romantic book. The European setting makes for some magical moments for one of the young men's fledgling steps into the world of gay dating / mating. His tour guide, Eli is happy to show him the ropes. But Taylor ends up being the tourist enthralled by Eli's knowledge of Spanish architecture.

The author touches on a lot of subjects throughout her entertaining story. Among them are: the pros and cons of a long distance relationship, an entrepreneural spirit, pleasing others out of fear to be yourself, what would make a candidate a great potential parent or a lousy parent prospect? The importance and influence of friends in high school & throughout life, being indebted to another, blue collar versus billionaire, and a closeted Bi. A burning question must be answered - What are you willing to sacrifice for what is important to you?

Sweet 💕

Our reunion is about Taylor and Eli. Taylor is a very successful business man. Taylor goes on a long overdue vacation and basically crashes into Eli. Eli and Taylor went to high school together, but never had anything romantic. Eli wants to explore his bi sexual side with Taylor. This book is very 🔥🔥, the sex scenes are well written. They try not to get attached to each other, Eli has all sorts of emotions on his bisexuality. Our reunion was a cute book with a happy ending, and just enough drama to keep you hooked. The narrator was ok.
I received this book for an honest review.

Sweet Second Chance

A very sweet story of Taylor and Eli who had been in high school together and run into each other again several years later while on vacation. Eli has never come out as bisexual and is on vacation to explore it and wants to explore with Taylor. They agree to not become attached but that doesn't work out very well. What follows is them trying to live apart but being drawn together all the time. Can they make their relationship work?
The narrator did a good job of bringing the story and characters to life.

Sweet first time / second chance romance

OUR REUNION not only is a very sweet second chance romance, one of the characters is also exploring this side of his sexuality for the very first time. It is easy to listen to, low on drama, with both characters willing to sacrifice their own happiness to not stand in the way of the other’s happiness. The only thing… maybe they did exactly that one time too many, because at one point it had me wishing for them to finally get their act together and talk it out already instead of making the choices for the other…

I loved how the ran into one another on a vacation, no less, far away from home, after having gone to high school together. Eli, who has never been with a man despite knowing he is bisexual for as long as he can remember, wants to use this vacation to finally give in – and who to better explore that with than Taylor, who he has been secretly crushing on and admired for his openness since high school, who now is running his own multimillionaire company...?

The narration was done by Chase Johnson, who did a wonderful job in giving the characters their own distinctive voices, even during the first-person-narration and not only during the dialogues. I think he could have put a bit more space between him and the microphone, because the p’s oftentimes were accompanied with a popping sound, which annoyed me the longer it kept happening…

Cute story

Narrator was annoying, made the voices too gruff and they didn’t match the characters. It made it sound unnatural. Unfortunate.
