Vann, the gorgeous, leather-jacket-clad new bad boy in school, just set his eyes on me.

I'm not really good at making friends. That's simply a fact. I'm happy enough if I can just get through the school day, avoid eye contact with anything that breathes, and make it home where my family can continue ignoring my existence and I can play video games in peace.

But then he crashes into my life like a tidal wave. The hot new senior at Spruce High. The bad boy everyone can't stop talking about. The one with the leather jacket, smoldering eyes, and cloud of danger following him. The one called Vann.

My whole life changes overnight. Now, I want different things. I want an end to my lonesomeness. I want to stand up to the jocks who keep pushing me around.

But most importantly, I want to know what Vann's lips taste like. And why he looks pained every time his dark eyes catch mine in class. And why he keeps paying attention to me when the rest of the town doesn't. And why every time I open my mouth to speak, my racing heart chokes me.

I don't know what's coming for me in my last year at Spruce High, but I sure hope I'm ready for it.

Contains mature themes.

I am a BIG fan of the while series. the characters are so well rounded and, being from Mississippi in the south, i know these people haha.

This book in particular had a more sentimental, emotional feel. maybe it was my reader response, but these characters seemed to bring out real relationship feelings, trials, and emotional depth I really responded to. The steadier scence here were more tame and less explicit, but that added to the tenderness and vunerability the book had as a theme.

As usual, Banner transported me to that small town in Texas, references people I cared about from previous books, made me want a burger form Biggies and to see if that Country Lovin crepe is all it is hyped up to be, and overall made me feel like a member of this small, albeit progressive, southern town. cannot wait for the next book in the series.

Another great read in the Spruce series

I'm telling you if you want feel good, funny, sometimes angsty, dramatic, sweet, charming. this book and the previous ones has it all and then some! So romantic and heartwarming. Honest and yet fanciful.

Love this whole series!

Great story about Spruce, Texas. The performer who voiced Toby to life is great. The same cannot be said for the performer who voiced Van - pedantic and breathy are the kindest adjectives I can write. Despite that, it was great to visit Spruce again and I look forward to more from Daryl.

The good and the bad

Daryl is a master and this audiobook brings the story to life. This is truly a love story.

One of the things I like about this one is how the author takes his time with character development without being boring. There are times though where I find myself saying “get on with it.“

Enter the MCs, one a perceived bad boy, the other a victim of bullying and totally unsure of himself. I find myself at times losing patience with them but it adds to the conflict and helps propel the story forward.

For me, as much of a spoiler as this might be, is the appeal of hearing those three words before sex and it actually happens here. The MCs are together quite awhile before it moves beyond the make out sessions.

If you’re a beginner in the MM Romance genre, I highly recommend the Spruce Texas series, of which I think this one is the best. Sometimes I find myself laughing out loud, at others shedding a tear.

I Loved the job the narrators did trying to bring this story to life. I enjoyed other books in this series but, this ONE was so long and drawn out. Hot attraction between the main characters but, it never really got HOT.. the sexy scenes were so dull. I did finish and liked some of the plot but, idk how to explain what was wrong. I'm not sure it's worth the credit or your time to listen. 🤷🤦 The Best part of the Whole story is the Epilogue.

What just happened!?!

I thought the book was well written, I like a lot of Darryl's books. But I was hoping for more description in the sex scenes. I enough the romantic parts, but I also like to listen to the sex scenes.

Love story!

I think Van deserved better than Toby. Toby started treating Van the way everyone else did after fighting for him at first. Van was just trying to defend toby multiple times to his own detriment just for him to get the short end of the stick every time. Toby really should have grown a pair like come on. I stopped feeling bad for him. Glad they worked it out but Van shouldn’t have had to do all that to try and prove himself.

I liked Van

I don’t know where to start, BUT I loved the whole story and where it went! I’ve read every Spruce romance and it was definitely the best and the kicker! I honestly wish it wouldn’t be the last, especially because I wanna see Hoyt (side character) get his happy ending but I loved it completely and the creativity of this story had me smiling from ear to ear! It has made me fall in love with the development of all the characters and the town itself and truly inspired my life. It’s just a must read, sweet, sexy and dramatic in the best ways possible!

THIS BOOK IS AMAZINGLY A MUST!

I enjoyed the story. The performance was excellent! I would definitely listen to other stories by the same author and especially the same performers!
