About this listen
A Flophouse Story
One bootstrap act of integrity cost Henry Worrall everything—military career, family, and the secret boyfriend who kept Henry trapped for eleven years. Desperate, Henry shows up on his brother’s doorstep and is offered a place to live and a job as a handyman in a flophouse for young porn stars.
Lance Luna’s past gave him reasons for being in porn, but as he continues his residency at a local hospital, they now feel more like excuses. He’s got the money to move out of the flophouse and live his own life—but who needs privacy when you’re taking care of a bunch of young men who think working penises make them adults?
Lance worries Henry won’t fit in, but Henry’s got a soft spot for lost young men and a way of helping them. Just as Lance and Henry find a rhythm as den mothers, a murder and the ghosts of Henry’s abusive past intrude. Lance knows Henry’s not capable of murder, but is he capable of caring for Lance’s heart?

Story
Fixer. Bodyguard. Advocate. Brann Calder is expected to play all these roles and more as a member of Torus Intercession, a security firm guaranteed to right what’s wrong. In the military, catastrophe was his specialty. Five months out of the service, Brann is still finding his way, so a new assignment might be just what he needs. Unless it includes two things sure to make a seasoned, battle-trained veteran nervous: life in a small town, and playing caregiver to two little girls.

George Hunt can think of nothing he’d like more than to skip the high-society fundraiser where he has to guard a precocious seventeen-year-old girl and her judgmental therapist, but there’s no way out of it. If anything bad were to happen and he wasn’t there to stop it, he’d never forgive himself. So even though she’s grilling him about his dating life and the good doctor is psychoanalyzing him, he’s going to soldier on, because protecting his charges is what a knight does.

JJ Ferguson needs to see firsthand what his lies have turned me into. Two years ago, JJ and I should have been talking about our future together.

Devlin “Dev” Espinosa lives in the shadows of the criminal underworld. As a Ferryman, his job is to safely transport “the dead” to their new lives, no questions asked. With no one to answer to, lots of cash, and access to The Anonymous–an exclusive club for the elite–Dev is loving life. Until Remy Corbin gets into his car. Remy is just a regular guy working a regular bartending job. At least, that’s what he thought before walking in on his boss taking someone out. Witnessing the assassination paints a target on Remy’s back, and when the bullets fly, he jumps into a stranger’s car.

Being a hit man has its perks, but I never thought getting an accidental mooning by an attractive PI while he’s caught on a fence would be one of them. While it’s not exactly love at first sight, he’s captured my interest and won’t let go. Suddenly, I find myself caught in a game of cat and mouse, determined to attract the attention of Jackson, the PI who should be my enemy. He pretends like he’s not flattered by my flowers and the mentions of my totally-not-fictitious blow-up doll, Randy (or was it Dandy?), but I know better.

Hi, I'm Kit. Immortal vampire and technomage extraordinaire. You know how it goes. For the record, I am absolutely not stalking my reincarnated husband. Okay, I am, but it's for his own good. And mine. Er, assuming I can somehow figure out how to tell him he's reincarnated and a mage, and we all live in a sentient library. Any thoughts on that? I'm currently taking suggestions. One thing's for sure. He's not dying on me again. Never again.

There’s a lot I’ve never told my best friend. The fact that I love him. That I miss him every day he’s gone. That, sometimes, I ache for him with a ferocity that leaves me breathless. Lucky Buchanan tore into my life as a boy, wild and daring, my opposite in every way. He drew me in, stole my heart without trying. He hears me, even though I rarely speak a word. But I always knew this place wouldn’t be enough for my free-spirited friend. I knew he wasn’t mine to keep.

I always thought of Silas Rush as my biggest rival on the track and a stuck-up loner off of it. He and his fancy pro career left our crappy hometown in the dust before high school even finished, and then I didn't think of him much at all. I was too busy trying to keep my little sisters from turning into addicts like our mom, and myself from turning into a rage-junkie like our dad. All while keeping food on the table. Now he's back, reminding me of all the things I don't have, just like he always did.

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.

Story
When I’m running on fumes while driving on what feels like the loneliest stretch of road in California, I worry I’m in trouble. Luckily, I happen upon Aqua Vista, a sleepy coastal town with the only pump for miles, and the grumpy owner who is more gorgeous than he has any right to be. When I’m told I’ll need more than fuel to disable the check engine light on my dash, I figure there are worse places to be stuck while my car gets needed repairs.

Especially not when a blown-out back tyre leads to me coming face to face with my long term crush for the first time in five years. I’ve known André since his days of boyband superstardom, but since I was supposed to be dating one of his bandmates, I was never able to act on my feelings. But now we’re both single and stuck in a hotel for the weekend with our interfering friends who seem determined to push us together.

Hi, my name is Fisher, and I'm hooked on my dad's rival. I've been in love with Hudson Nash for years, but he's too stubborn to admit he wants me, too. For a whole bunch of stupid reasons. Like the fact that I'm too young. (What's a twenty-year gap? Age is just a number, am I right?) And a virgin. (Which he could easily fix!) And maybe not the best choice, given he and my dad hate each other. (It's not that ba—Okay, it is that bad, but our love could totally rise above, right? It would be epic!)

Living in Christmas Town doesn’t make me a fan of the holidays. Quite the opposite. In fact, eleven months out of the year, I’m perfectly happy running my bookstore in peace and quiet. Of course, that changes in December when it’s mistletoe madness and mayhem. Ugh. But this year, there’s a new cowboy in town and it’s not as easy to grumble about…anything. I admit, Hudson is handsome and hunky, but everyone knows I’m not myself till January, so he’ll have to buzz off and charm someone else.

On brand, between two series
Amy Lane is a master at fitting all the elements of a spectacular story into a tiny package. I tend to prefer longer reads, but I know even her shorter books are going to have hilarious dialog, great character development, lovable side characters, believable tension and endings that make you wish you could spend more time in the worlds she has created. This book checks all these boxes.
One warning: This story will be a much more enjoyable read if you realize that it takes place at the nexus of two other series. Read those first!!! Start with Lane’s Johnnie’s series, then her Fish Out of Water series. This book moves way, way too fast to be able to explain all the backstories, but the story is so much better if you know them. You can probably enjoy it on its own, but it’ll shine so much brighter in context.
A note on the narrator: at first, I HATED his voice. It just seemed all wrong. Too clipped and abrupt, almost disinterested. I mean, over-acting is bad too, but at the outset I felt like this guy could have been reading a menu, for all the inflection and storytelling quality he was demonstrating. But 1, stick with it, he does actually loosen up and get better, and 2, increase the playback speed a bit. It helps.

Destroyed by narrator
I was initially overjoyed to see this title released in audio, but wary over a narrator I was not familiar with. This is the first part of a spin-off from the Fish Out of Water series, which is MASTERFULLY narrated by Greg Boudreaux/Tremblay. I wondered why he wasn’t doing this as well, but was willing to give James the benefit of the doubt. That lasted until approximately one minute in. I had to up the speed to 2x to make his style even a little bit tolerable. Emotionless is the best word I can use to describe it. If I hadn’t read the print version, I would have been totally lost as to whether or not he was narrating audible dialogue, internal dialogue, or descriptions. If Greg really wasn’t available, I can think of three narrators off the top of my head who would have done this better: Nick J Russo; Iggy Toma; Gary Furlong. I really hope James is not brought back on board for the rest of the Flophouse series. As much as I love the books, I would rather go without having them in my Audible library than listen to James butcher them too.
I intend to return this title and get my wasted credit back as soon as possible. If the rest of the series is done by James, I will not buy it. If it was redone with a competent narrator, I would happily buy it again.

Loved it!
The first book/audio of The Flophouse series, it’s also related to the Fish series, book 6. I loved seeing how Henry and Lances relationship grew.
Great listen!!

Wonderful Story / Bad Narrator
Amy Lane is one of my favorite authors. She writes emotional, relatable, and entertaining stories. Shades of Henry is prime example of that and I was so excited to have it in audio... until the narrator put his spin on it. I'm sorry to have to say it, but Seven James performance was entirely lacking in emotion and inflection. There was very little if any attempt to give the characters life and a voice that would make one distinguishable from another. Passages in the story that brought tears to my eyes when I read the book, were given no more significance than the description of the apartment in which Henry was living. It's such a shame. Shades of Henry deserved a narrator who could have truly given life to the story. If the rest of this series comes to audible with the same narrator I won't be buying it.
