About this listen
Sequel to Tell Me It's Real
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Sanford Stewart sure doesn't. In fact, he pretty much believes in the exact opposite, thanks to the Homo Jock King. It seems Darren Mayne lives for nothing more than to create chaos in Sandy's perfectly ordered life, just for the hell of it. Sandy despises him, and nothing will ever change his mind.
Or so he tells himself.
It's not until the owner of Jack It - the club where Sandy performs as drag queen Helena Handbasket - comes to him with a desperate proposition that Sandy realizes he might have to put his feelings about Darren aside. Because Jack It will close unless someone can convince Andrew Taylor, the mayor of Tucson, to keep it open.
Someone like Darren, the mayor's illegitimate son.
The foolproof plan is this: seduce Darren, and push him to convince his father to renew Jack It's contract with the city.
Simple, right?
Wrong.

Story
Do you believe in love at first sight? Paul Auster doesn't. Paul doesn't believe in much at all. He's thirty, slightly overweight, and his best features are his acerbic wit and the color commentary he provides as life passes him by. His closest friends are a two-legged dog named Wheels and a quasibipolar drag queen named Helena Handbasket. He works a dead-end job in a soul-sucking cubicle, and if his grandmother's homophobic parrot insults him one more time, Paul is going to wring its stupid neck.

Story
Three years ago, Bear McKenna’s mother took off for parts unknown with her new boyfriend, leaving Bear to raise his six-year-old brother Tyson, aka the Kid. Somehow they’ve muddled through, but since he’s totally devoted to the Kid, Bear isn’t actually doing much living. With a few exceptions, he’s retreated from the world, and he’s mostly okay with that - until Otter comes home. Otter is Bear’s best friend’s older brother, and as they’ve done for their whole lives, Bear and Otter crash and collide in ways neither expect.

With nothing left to lose, he returns to his family's summer cabin outside the small mountain town of Roseland, Oregon, to try and find some sense of direction. The cabin should be empty. It's not. Inside is a man named Alex. And with him is an extraordinary ten-year-old girl who calls herself Artemis Darth Vader. Artemis, who isn't exactly as she appears.

Big City is supposedly the place where dreams come true. As someone just trying to live my life, I can tell you it’s more like a recurring nightmare where dreams get c*ckblocked at every turn. Especially if you’re a supervillain like me. The irony is that I have zero powers, despite coming from purebred villain stock, but try telling that to Big City’s beloved hero, Captain Masculine.

Smart men never dabble with demons. I never claimed to be smart, but at least, I’m powerful enough to control them. When I bound Havoc to me nearly 300 years ago, I never realized how difficult he’d make my life, although “accidentally” lighting him on fire every now and then does bring a smile to my face. Havoc is handsome, mysterious, and somehow, my closest companion, even if we don’t always get along.

I didn't mean to star in a sex tape, okay? It was just one of those unexplainable things. Like Stonehenge, Police Academy 2, and morning glory clouds. It just happened. Now, my ball-busting father is sentencing me to six months of celibacy, sobriety, and morbid boredom under the roof of Boston's nerdiest girl alive, Sailor Brennan. The virginal archer is supposed to babysit my ass while I learn to take my place in Royal Pipelines, my family's oil company. Little does she know, that's not the only pipe I'll be laying....

Brilliant writing and perfect narration
This was on my TBR list for quite some time and I am kicking myself for not getting to it sooner. The writing is outstanding and absolutely hysterical. I have listened to more than 500 audiobooks and I can’t think of one with better narration. Michael Lesley is GIFTED. He and TJ Klune are perfect together.

Yaaaassss, QUEEN!
I'm obsessed with the At First Sight series, and The Queen & the Homo Jock King is one of my comfort reads. It is pure FUN; just outlandish, ridiculous, yet insanely heartfelt FUN. It strikes the perfect balance for me, and this book and Tell Me It's Real are my go-tos when I'm feeling down.
I won't fully recap the book because I've reviewed it before, but I will say that it is a story for lovers of the style of Tell Me It's Real. If you like a slow-burn love story that is full one one-liners, characters exploding with personality, and sexual tension like WOAH, then you MUST read this series.
However, because this series is so near and dear to me, I avoided the audiobooks for a long time.
I am a huge audio lover, but sometimes an imperfect narrator will ruin a favorite book of mine, and the book is never the same again for me. And I actually get MAD about that, and I kick myself for spoiling something that I loved.
However, there was a TON of buzz around this series in audio, and I decided to dip my toe in with Tell Me It's Real. And, truthfully, Michael Lesley simply crushed it, just absolutely owned that narration, and so I decided to take a chance and move on with the series.
Between listening to TMiR and TQatHJK, I met Michael Lesley in person, and I was a teeny, tiny bit worried that meeting him would ruin my ability to get into the story. I was concerned that I would picture Michael Lesley talking instead of, say, Helena, which would be a bummer. Honestly, I shouldn't have worried because Michael Lesley so thoroughly throws himself into each character that it is hard to picture anyone but the characters themselves talking. His voices were DIVINE! Simply inspired, and I don't say that lightly. I can't picture anyone else reading those voices, and the fact that T.J. Klune picked him was pure fate.
The audio is long and insane in the best way (I knew it would be). Don't read this book if you don't want to experience a fabulous queen who is more than just a diva, BFFs who will dress in disguise for their friends, Nanas with floggers, old people exploring their sexual preferences, and some very interesting sex in some very interesting locations.
However, if you love T.J. Klune, and I know you do, then you MUST check this audiobook out. You'll thank me later.

Just as fun as the first!
I've listened to this audiobook multiple times, and loved it each time! The premise of this book is a little bit farfetched (the old "we have to fake date each other because REASONS" trope), but that's what makes it such an enjoyable comedy. The characters are usually quite likeable, and the chemistry between all of them is what makes this book really shine.
Michael Lesley narrated the first book in this series quite well, and this one was good too - sadly, the two narrations weren't consistent with character voices. Its a bit jarring to go from book 1 (Tell Me Its Real) to this one and have the voices change, but the voice acting is still good and its still an easy listen.
This is definitely more on the "comedy" side of romantic comedy, but there's still a romance there that you want to root for, and I'm looking forward to seeing where the series goes!

Freaking great
A totally different take on a misunderstanding and enemies to lovers, and it was great. For me, there weren’t as many one-liners as book one, but the relationships were just as amazing and real. Gotta admit I wish we got more time with our Queen and King together (wink wink)… but it was all so worth it.

A Must Have for TJ Klune & Michael Lesley Lovers!
Any additional comments?
I have expectations of a T.J. Klune novel. It must be funny, it should have some emotions tucked into it too, and above all, it should be written so I can devour it quickly thoroughly enjoying every turn of the page.
This had the potential to go either really wrong or really right. Luckily, my faith in T.J. Klune remains unblemished, because this was totally right.
I love the humor, the feels (though I was a little surprised I didn't get hit with wookie cry face), and the way Klune handles bringing back some of my favorite characters.
Sandy is, of course, fierce and divine and hot mess and wonderful.
Paul and Vince, Matty and Larry Auster, Nana...they're all back and in rare form. Some of the text conversations and interactions in this story...So. Freaking. Funny.
There's some miscommunication, which drives me up a wall, but it works here for the most part and shows how well it's written that I didn't want to chuck my Kindle through a window. I especially loved how Sandy handles the whole seduction of Darren Mayne, Homo Jock King. It's brilliant, and funny, and had me snort laughing until it was hard to breathe.
In the end, the whole thing is deliciously well done, and if you are a fan of Tell Me It's Real you will not be disappointed in this.
If you listened to Michael Lesley's performance for book one in the series Tell Me It's Real (At First Sight #1) then you know you are going to laugh your butt off when listening to this. If you haven't listened to it, then what is wrong with you? Go - go buy it now. And don't forget to get this as well.
This was what I imagine it was like listening to radio shows before television and movies became popular. Truly a riveting *performance*.

Keeps Getting Better
I loved Sandy in book 1 but here in this book, I really felt a connection to his character and background story. This series just keeps getting better. I enjoyed learning more about Paul, Vince, Darren, and the rest of the family and friends. Of course, I ❤ Michael Lesley because he is the king of bringing emotional hilarity to life.

I want to give this 100 stars
As much as I enjoyed reading this and found it hysterical when it first came out, I was not prepared for the pure perfection that is Michael Leslie's narration. I have never heard such brilliance. His sounds and comedic timing were spot on. And the various voices he did were all totally distinct.
The characters were all lovable and the story was fun.
I can't wait for Cory's turn!
