About this listen

Home is where you make it.

Beau Hopper is good at good-byes. A minor-league hockey player, he goes where the league tells him. Single and estranged from his family, Beau drifts without connections or commitments. He makes a living, not a life.

Former Marine Connor Casey's life revolves around his siblings. After Hurricane Harvey took their home and a car crash claimed their parents, Connor is determined to rebuild their house and their lives.

When Beau learns Connor might lose custody of his siblings if he can't finish the rebuild in time, he volunteers to help in exchange for a place to stay, and it isn't long before he finds himself in Connor's bed.

It takes more than passion and plywood to build a home, so when the league comes calling after Beau, Connor can't ask him to stay...but how can he ever let him go?

Contains mature themes.

Perfect Romance Formula

Thus, by far, is one of my favorite romances ❤️
I've found my perfect romance formula.
MCs meet instantly and grow into a sweet romance. The meat of the story is their grow TOGETHER. There's only one or two short chapters of angst and thethen HEA with a nice size epilog.
Yeah, one dang good romance ❤️

Amazing Story and Narration.

This is the first audio book I have ever listened to, because I just don’t have the tile to read anymore with work and school. I loved the steamy romance and I was constantly driven to an audible “awwwwe” while listening. Not to mention the several times I laughed and earned myself some strange looks from bystanders. It was absolutely a fantastic story.

Smouldering romance with lively family in tow

Very good narrator does well with multiple voices in this one; younger hockey player on way out falls for ex marine out in the styx with 4 children, who, unusually, are not annoying but developed characters in their own right. The story proceeds through a series of mini crises but ends on an upbeat note as unity is ultimately established.

Loved It

Score isn't the same hockey player/casual hook up story. this story has depth, struggle, family values and real feelings. The relationship between Beau and Con is important, but it's the relationship between the two men and the kids that is seemingly more important! Great job Chris!

Great Hockey Romance!

I haven’t read many of AE Wasp’s work, but this one will definitely make me read more of her work. She gives us a romance between two men, with a peek at a period in their lives, from meeting each other, to the proposal, that will lead to their HEA. A story with just enough angst, a bunch of adorable kids, old and new friends, as well as the usual annoying set of homophobes, who cannot beat Love. I loved listening to narrator Chris Chambers, who made each character’s POV come to live. Very entertaining and thus recommendable novel. ❤️

Good story that falls into a couple traps

This was an excellent novel, and I very much enjoyed listening to it. It took me a little while to get used to the narrator, but he definitely grows on you, and his character voices are extremely good. The characters are likable and the romance is one that you root for.

Having kids in your story can be dangerous, because there's a tendency to make them just a little TOO precious. Mostly, this book manages to avoid this, giving each of Connor's siblings a distinct personality and I ended up liking all of them. There are a couple instances where they say things that I'm pretty sure kids wouldn't say--Connor's sister Fiona is the worst offender, with the youngest brother Benji close behind--but in general they're a lot better than most kids in novels.

More problematic is the pitfall that m/m novels fall into time and time again, and it seems an odd criticism coming from a gay man: there are too many gay characters in this novel. Seriously, the author goes out of her way to mention several times how small the town is, and how few and far between gay characters are there, but then every other adult character ends up being gay or lesbian. Connor's boss, a random coach, half the hockey players on Beau's team, random fans in the stands, and so on and so on. It gets so that whenever there's a homophobic character, you expect them to be overrun by the 75% of the town that calls themselves gay.

I don't want to get hung up on criticism because it really was an excellent book, and overall I really enjoyed it. It's VERY long, but I can definitely see myself listening to it again.
