Publisher's summary
“[A] brilliantly written LGBTQ+ take on the classic small-town romance.” (Booklist)
High school wasn’t the right time or place for their relationship to grow, but now, fifteen years later, a chance encounter changes both of their lives forever.
No one in the charming river town of New Hope, Pennsylvania, needs to know that Vince Amato plans on flipping The Hideaway Inn to the highest bidder and returning to his luxury lifestyle in New York City. He needs to make his last remaining investment turn a profit…even if that means temporarily relocating to the quirky small town where he endured growing up. He’s spent years reinventing himself and won’t let his past dictate his future.
But on his way to New Hope, Vince gets stuck in the middle of nowhere and his past might be the only thing that can get him to his future. Specifically Tack O’Leary, the gorgeous, easygoing farm boy who broke his heart and who picks Vince up in his dilapidated truck.
Tack comes to the rescue not only with a ride but also by signing on to be the chef at The Hideaway for the summer. As Vince and Tack open their hearts to each other again, Vince learns that being true to himself doesn’t mean shutting down a second chance with Tack - it means starting over and letting love in.

Story
After the death of his wife, Tanner Rowe takes a step toward making her dying wish come true and buys the house with the dilapidated barn she'd been drawn to in the Upper Peninsula. But after a year, he still can't get past his grief long enough to make the repairs he'd promised. Recently out of prison, Cole Lachlan has little to his name. Homeless, broke, and without many options as a felon, Cole heads to Red Bluff with hopes of a second chance. There he meets Tanner, whose loneliness mirrors his own, and soon Cole is trading room and board for rebuilding the burned-out barn.

I lost everything in the fight for my daughter.... So, with my tail between my legs and completely out of options, I ran back to Stillwater. The town that stole everything from me. The only silver lining is...Arlo. Arlo, who won my daughter’s heart with a simple gesture. Arlo, who charmed me before I even knew his name. And here I thought returning home was going to be yet another train-wreck.

I’m in love with my best friend. Lie. I’m in love with my enemy. Truth. But they’re the same. They. Are. The. Same. Lines in my world are blurry between fantasy and reality. Truth and lies. Love and hate. Copeland Justice is my enemy. My once best friend. The sadist in my heart plucking and pulling at every thread of who I am until I’m unraveled at his feet. His mouth says he hates me. His eyes burn with animosity for me. His heart beats for someone else. But Copeland Justice is the best liar of us all.

That can only lead to trouble....

I have to stop replaying the one night I spent with my rival. Trouble is, that white-hot encounter with the other quarterback answered a lot of questions I’ve had about myself, but it also led me into this mess where he hates me. I never showed up for our second date. Since, well, life happened, and the worst part is he’ll never know how much that night meant to me.

When Tessa is accepted into the creative writing program of a prestigious art school, she’s excited to finally let her stories shine.

I'm single...so single it's painful. Yup, ladies, Brig Knightly - that's me - is still a lonely bachelor, stumbling through the streets of Port Snow, looking for the girl he's supposed to end up with. That is, I was until my brother, Rogan, presented me with the opportunity of a lifetime. The Summer of Love, a secret pen-pal program in Port Snow is looking for applicants, and I'm the perfect fit. I couldn't sign up fast enough. I found myself quickly falling in love with a pair of red lips at the bottom of a letter...just like in the movies.

But when she’s asked to cover up a client’s misdeeds with serious moral and legal ramifications, she can no longer sacrifice her conscience for her career...and the cost is no less than her job.

As the Dating Guy on L.A.'s top morning show, I give the single guy's perspective on dating, love, and sex - and I give great advice. Everyone's hooking up...well, except for me. Sure, I can get any woman I want, but I've got a no-relationship clause in my contract, and the only woman I want has relationship written all over her. Unfortunately, she wants nothing to do with me. At all. Something about the next Ice Age might have even come up in her rebuttal. Adorable.

He’ll have to give up the hustle and return to the day job he hates. He’s got six months to make it happen - the last thing he needs is a distraction. Jude Fuller is proud of the life he’s built on the banks of Cayuga Lake. He has a job he loves and good friends. It’s safe. It’s quiet. And it’s damn lonely. Until he tries Ithaca’s most-talked-about new lunch spot.

Instead, he’s destroying the minibar in a grim Los Angeles hotel room…recently dumped, partnerless and sliding into a crushing black hole of anguish. But the hotel service in abject misery is sublime. It even comes with an unfairly fit and sexy concierge who arrives at the door with pizza, Monopoly and deliciously distracting forearms.

Thomas Holmes’s next story at the L.A. Times may be his last, but he’s got a great personal pitch: “grief vampires” like Sylvie who prey upon the loved ones of the deceased have bankrupted his mother. He’s dead set on using his last article to expose Sylvie as a fraud.

James Cavenaugh brought Tack and Vince to life and the other characters as well. I love there story, I don't want to give anything away but Vince is stubborn as hell... lol
Tack is a sweet heart. This is a must have for any book collection it's worth the credit. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Queer and cute
A very sweet second chance romance with a author that has a great sense of humor. There is sex in this book but it’s pretty mild. I do think the plot got a tiny bit predictable at the end but if you’re looking for a cute book with awesome characters i’d say pick it up.

Excellent story, but...
a very fun story very well written. but unfortunately it goes out of its way to tick all the boxes. it becomes politically correct. and especially when they're discussing the kid with the they them sometimes it's very confusing because it seems it may be talking about the father and the kid or the kid and someone else so there's a little confusion there. other than that it's a really fun story.

So glad I chose this listen!
I almost passed this one by. I’m so glad I decided to give it a try!
Author and narrator were both unknowns to me. Now, I’d be glad to find more work by either or both.
A well-crafted story set in an interesting town. Suspend your disbelief. It’s fiction!
Only narration complaint I have is that the story is told in alternating chapters by the two main characters. Before the end of the book, it wasn’t always clear which character was in the lead, although within each chapter I had no problem distinguishing voices. Otherwise James Cavenaugh did what good narrators do — get out of the way of the story. He created believable voices for a range of characters and then faded into the background and let them tell the tale.
Happy I made this purchase. I can see myself listening to this one again one day.

The Hideaway Inn is a MM romance that is second chance and enemies to lovers. I was really expecting a sweet love story, especially after seeing the cover and reading the blurb. Instead, I got lots of angst and a very angry traumatized main character, Vince, who lashed out at every turn and the other conciliatory, doormat main character, Tack, who just accepted the fact that Vince was a complete jerk to him. There was a whole lot of anger being worked through and it was tedious at times. I really wanted to feel the love and experience that giddy feeling that comes with romance books and watching two characters fall deeply in love. I missed that.
I love inclusive books. I love when LGBTQ folks are represented without it being part of some sort of pivotal storyline. What I don’t like is when inclusivity is used to check boxes, and that’s how I felt when reading this book. We had gay, lesbian, bi, non-binary, transgender, various ethnicities, etc. I think the only straight character was the strict, religious, non-inclusive, white father. If it is meant to be a LGBTQ utopia, cool, I’m about that, but give them substance and don’t make it seem so intentional and contrived. The story with all the side characters didn’t convey as genuine or organic in nature and instead felt inauthentic. It was also very stereotyped with situations and personalities. Rather than getting to know the side characters, we only got their label. Their gender identity, sexuality, and romantic partners is who they were in a nutshell. I wanted more. I needed deeper.
I really liked the small town feel. I liked the fact that they had an Inn and they were creating a business together. I loved the farm to table feel and that Tack was all about sourcing locally. I liked the kid. They were cute. I loved the goat.
The narration was good and the narrator was easy to listen to. I won’t be listening to this book again though and I won’t be continuing on with the series. It just wasn’t my cup of tea.

I loved it! A great story of high school friends that part badly and come together later in life. One is an overly manly man who thinks his old town is full of bumpkins.He just wants to revamp and flip an inn and move on. We all know how these stories end.

Too much gender identification
Being a die-hard m/m listener/reader I am 100% on board with LGBTQ identification…. But I really really struggled with this authors need to have a 6 year old referred as “they or them” throughout the story. It was so distracting to me that I was unable to truly enjoy the actual story. I understand the reasoning but a 6 year old born as a boy really cannot understand a thing about gender at that age. It was just too much for me and will steer me away from this author in the future.
