Resumen del Editor
Terry's had a crush on his second cousin Justin for what seems like forever. He's hidden it as well as possible, knowing that the other man is out of bounds, forbidden fruit. Second cousins getting together isn't actually illegal, but for Justin the relationship is too close - he just can't contemplate them being together.
But when some new information comes to light about Terry's birth and his place in the family, the whole game changes. Suddenly the relationship isn't so impossible, and things soon begin to get hot and heavy.

Historia
Ben Emerson has lived by his minister father's rules most of his life. Born into an ultraconservative church community, he's finally brave enough to break free and move to San Francisco. Distancing himself certainly helps create a new mind-set, but living as an openly gay man takes some getting used to. When he reaches out to Xavier, a childhood friend who lives in the city, Ben isn't sure how he'll respond given their thorny history. Ben hopes the familiar connection will help him right some wrongs as well as provide the solace he's been craving.

Beckett: If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have. I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.

Enjoyed and Wanted More
Nick Dee is a new narrator for me and he was excellent. His performance of each character was unique and fit the personality of them. This is a shorty so of course I wanted more so that should tell you just how much I enjoyed this unique coming out story.

MM romance
It took me awhile to get into the story and follow along. For a short story it served its purpose. Introduce love couple, explained why they couldn’t be together. Turns out the reason stopping them from being together doesn’t apply. They live HEA.

Short and steamy
This is a really quick listen and though I'd have liked more just because I felt like it was a full story in itself and perfect for the short story it is. Narration is done really well and made it a really enjoyable listen.

Wonderful story!

Short but hot story
This was a short story and that comes with certain issues. It’s hard to convincingly show two characters falling in love. Here we’re more told the characters are in love than shown. Still an entertaining, and hot, story.

Thoughtful approach to taboo
I was given a copy of the audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
This is a sweet story about Terry, and his 2nd cousin Justin. The two come from a large close-knot family, where gatherings to celebrate birthdays and holidays are common and attendance is mandatory. But Terry and Justin have a major secret, namely, they are gay and even worse, are attracted to each other. Although there is nothing illegal about 2nd cousins having a relationship, that familial connection keeps them at the “cousins” in a precarious situation. They are destined to fantasize about each other in order to avoid any major fallout if the relationship goes south. While this is a pragmatic approach, it is hardly romantic.
Although both men believe themselves to be very clever at hiding their feelings, Terry’s ever watchful mom notices the sparks flying between the two, and a few very pointed questions and statements later, she is demanding that Terry attend a family gathering where everything will be resolved.
Because of their love for their son, and their belief in the relationship, Terry’s parents risk revealing a long held secret, one with the power to either heal or destroy, to both Justin and Terry.
I enjoyed this thoughtful exploration of the impact of coming out on individuals and their family and the ‘taboo’ of cousins in love. The narrator was awesome and made the listening experience wonderful.

Second Cousins nonce removed
Terry and his second cousin Justin have been constantly thrown together at family gatherings as long as both boys can remember. Terry is gay though he’s not out and he’s suspecting more and more that his cousin is as well and the attraction he’s been feeling is mutual.
I’ve always been a bit fascinated by stories like this, partly because I’ve never understood why the taboo against relationships between two gay men of consanguinity exists. Too close a genetic relationship between heterosexual spouses can and has led to genetic deformities etc. But in gay men, that’s clearly not an issue. I can even understand that problems might arise in sexual relationships between individuals in the same household. There can be issues of consent, duress, and so forth. But provided that those issues don’t exist, I can see no problem. I’ve always been hoping to understand this better but nothing I’ve read has ever presented any situation that might explain the taboo.
This story doesn’t change that. In fact it manages to side-step the issue altogether due to plot developments that I’ll not detail here for fear of spoiling the story for anyone.
The “boys” in this story are both described as being 30 and yet the situation and their personas both felt much younger, 20 or even 18 perhaps. I’m not sure why the author chose to make them the age she did. But, it was no great chore for me to shave a decade off the ages of these two fictional characters.
The narrator here is Mick Dee. As far as I can determine this is his first foray into audio-book narration. His basic narration is well done with good pacing. However his female character voices need some serious work. It also felt like the two main characters voices were a bit too similar. I sometimes got the POV confused, but that may have partly been the fault of the author.
This was a pleasant enough listening experience, but it doesn’t have the depth of detail, or the chemistry that I generally require for an audio-book to make it into to my frequent re-listen queue.

Quick But Hot
This is a short "taboo" story that actually loses the taboo part but gains some heat. The narration definitely adds to it and makes it better.
I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion

sweet love story
the story is a sweet first-love story. the taboo part is being fixed relatively early in the story, so for me, it wasn't a real issue.
the narrator was annoying.
