Publisher's summary
Two bands, one goal, and a second chance....
Declan:
Everything is finally going well. I have a new band, a new label, and a debut album coming out. And then my drummer breaks his wrists. Just my luck. I need a quick replacement to record one more song, but my options are limited, and of course, the obvious candidate hates my guts. Okay, so I may have given him a few reasons over the years, but isn’t there an expiration date on holding a grudge?
Tegan:
I don’t trust Declan McNamara. Sure, he’s talented, smart, and has more sex appeal than any one person should be allowed. And yeah, he may be a rock star in the making, but beware - he’s trouble. However, our new record label’s survival may depend on a truce and extreme measures...of the fake boyfriend variety. If it’s our best shot at the big time, I’m willing to set the past aside and start over...here and now.
Starting from Here is a M/M bisexual romance rock and roll style...rival bands, fake boyfriends, and a second chance at a new love story. Each book in the Starting From series can be listened to as a stand-alone.

Hockey is in my blood. I learned to skate before I learned how to ride a bike. I’ve been on a wild ride, playing at the highest level for some of the biggest and best teams in the league. But now it’s over, and I’m not sure what to do with myself. So I'm going home to Elmwood. But I’ll tell you what I’m not gonna do—I’m not going to coach my buddy’s junior hockey league. No chance. I don’t know how to deal with kids, and besides, the other coach—who happens to be my best friend’s brother—hates me. With reason.

The job at Sunday Orchard was supposed to be temporary. A chance to gain some work experience, to have some fun. I had not expected to be welcomed into a family of gorgeous and weirdly efficient lumberjack-types, or to find purpose in the tiny Vermont town whose claim to fame seemed to be apple-based products and copious amounts of charm. And I most definitely hadn’t expected to fall for Knox Sunday, my grumpy, burly, fifteen-years-older, reluctant roommate, with his infuriating lectures, his hot-as-fire body, his superior attitude - I’ve never been one to put down roots.

Conor: It starts with a drunken text pic. The kind I would normally never send. Only, instead of it going to the flirty hotel bartender, it goes to some random stranger who actually responds. Wells: The first thing I notice about Conor Newell when he sits down in my high-rise conference room is how delightfully nervous he is. Then I see his tie. The same geeky tie that’s held hostage on my phone. The one that belongs to my anonymous late-night texter. And it changes everything.

Story
When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

I’ve had a crush on my brother’s best friend since the moment I laid eyes on him four years ago. Warner Ramsey is 225 pounds of pure hotness, a media darling, and one of the best NFL quarterbacks in the league. Hell, he’s the reason I figured out I’m solidly bi. It was easy to keep my crush under control when I was in college. Now, we play for the same team, and every time he talks smack, I want to shut him up. With my mouth.

Theo Decker might be the lead singer of Riven, but he hates being a rock star. The paparazzi, the endless tours, being recognized everywhere he goes - it all makes him squirm. The only thing he doesn't hate is the music. Feeling an audience's energy as they lose themselves in Riven's music is a rush unlike anything else...until he meets Caleb Blake Whitman. Caleb is rough and damaged, yet his fingers on his guitar are pure poetry. And his hands on Theo? They're all he can think about. But Caleb's no groupie - and one night with him won't be enough.

Very good story
The story was good and the sex was hot. I wish that Lane Hayes would add in some voyeur scenarios and solo sex experiences.

Friends to enemies to friends
This friends to enemies to friends to lovers story is interesting. We see the fake boyfriend thing become something much more. As a musician, I appreciated the trials of concert tours and the drive to be the best. Lane Hayes carries the story through and does it well, and Michael Dean remains one of my favorite narrators.

Again Lane always finds a way to make me cry with her beautiful words. I loved this so much. Michael did an amazing job as always. I can't wait to see what happens next!

Sooo good!
5 Stars!
First of all, OMFG, how hot is the cover for this book? Damn! I think it's my favorite of all of Lane's covers so far and she has some very hot ones. *fans self*
Second, confession time, I haven't read/listened to the first two books in the series. I know, I know, bad Mari, and really, I was more than a bit confused until my friend Amy gave me the cliff notes version. So, don't be like me, and if you haven't read the first two books, go and do it before reading this one. You can thank me later.
I really liked Declan right from the start. He seemed like such a fun, easygoing guy, but he had unexpected layers. Not only was he working hard to make it in the music business knowing he was down to his last chance with his new band, but he has been dealing with depression since his teen years and a not-so-great mother who didn't fully accept his bisexuality. Tegan was a bit harder for me to like. I don't know, perhaps it was my confusion over what had happened between them and the animosity he held against Declan. I will say this, though, my Kindle nearly burst in flames any time these two interacted, be it in anger, while faking being together (yeah, right, LOL) or later when they'd reconnected, their chemistry was nothing short of explosive.
I loved the progression from enemies to lovers and being privy to how they met back when they were 4 years old and seeing Declan be so nice to Tegan's mom warmed my heart, as much as it did Tegan's. I think that was a big turning point for them.
Michael Dean did a fantastic job as he always does. The voices, the characterization, and the way he consistently delivers a top-notch performance without going overboard just makes him one of my favorite narrators.
All in all, definitely an audiobook you don't want to miss out on. Just read or better yet, listen to the first two books first and since book 4 is coming out in just under 2 weeks, this is the perfect time to catch up!

A hot, second chance enemies to lovers!
This was a sweet, hot, enemies to lovers, second chance romance.
Declan and Tegan gave me all the feels and I absolutely loved them.
This was my favorite in the series by far.
Michael Dean delivered an impeccable audio delivery. His narration was apt for the characters voices and I absolutely enjoyed listening to this.

Good story. Good narration.
As usual, I really enjoy the way Lane Hayes constructs characters. I want to get to know all of them better. I also appreciate the way Hayes takes the time to show multiple sides to a story. Simple situations can become complicated dramas when diverse personalities clash.
The narration was also enjoyable, and the narrator did a good job of constructing different voices for each character.

5+-starred enemies-to-lovers audiobook!
Having listened to the first two audiobooks in the Starting From series, I more than appreciate the fact that Michael Dean has been able to add even the most subtle of nuances to make each of the voices of this cast of characters distinct, which I'm pretty sure is no easy task. He truly did bring both Declan and Tegan to life, and did a marvelous job narrating another wonderfully penned story from Lane Hayes. While not overly angsty, there was just enough angst to make me a happy, angst-addicted camper, and I liked the lightheartedness here. This wasn't a romantic comedy by any means, but Hayes always injects wit and bites of humor in her stories, the kind that entices a smile from her readers. Declan and Tegan's story had the sort of push and pull that leads to that delicious sense of anticipation I crave and look for in the enemies-to-lovers trope. The Starting From series has been a consistent source of aural delight, and I can't wait to see what Hayes and, presumably, Dean have after Starting from Here, which snags five-plus stars.

🎸Lets Rock!
Every stage of Declan and Tegan's relationship were proof these two had it bad for each other. As childhood friends they were together like glue. During their fallout, I hate you relationship, the reader knew it wasn't true. Then came we must fake it until we make it moment, these two were burning the pages with their desire for each other. And there wasn't anything fake about it. I'll tell you, this story ROCKS! Also, as always Mr. Dean rocked right along with Ms. Hayes creative story. I applaud them both. I highly recommend! Enjoy.

A great addition to this series!
Michael Dean has been doing a fantastic job with the books in this series. I love the voice he does for Charlie (not one of the MCs but he's a significant secondary character). He actually does fantastic voices for all of the characters and he makes it easy to know which character is speaking. There's a reason that he's on my list of favorite audiobook performers. 😊
I've loved all of the books in the Starting From series and Starting from Here is no exception. It's a great friends-to-enemies-to-lovers tale set the world of two emerging rock bands going on their first tour together.
Declan and Tegan lived next door to each other when they were young but then Declan moved away and they drifted apart. Years later something happened and they became enemies who couldn't seem to forget the incident that caused them to hate each other. Now they are in different rock bands recording for the same label and will be touring together. Their manager wants to spin a fake boyfriend scenario to keep the public interested in following the bands on social media.
Wow, this is a story that has more than a few complicated situations going on. Tegan has a family situation he's dealing with that's keeping him stressed. Declan doesn't want to screw up what he thinks is his last chance at making it big. Music is his life and feeds his soul but Tegan soon comes to mean just as much to him.
Starting from Here can definitely be read as a standalone story but the whole series is fantastic and I highly recommend the other books. I'm sure you won't feel lost if you don't read them but I also think you'll appreciate the series more if you read them in order.
I enjoyed visiting with the characters from previous books but I really fell in love with Declan and Tegan. This isn't an overly angsty story but they must navigate some bumps in the road before they get to their HEA.
A complimentary copy of this audiobook was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author and/or narrator.
