Her Two Dads

By: Ariel Tachna

Narrated by: Jenny Urban

Srikkanth Bhattacharya is a quintessential gay bachelor and perfectly happy about it—until he gets a call from the local hospital telling him his best friend died in childbirth. Sri had agreed to provide the sperm to make Jill's dream of motherhood come true, but he'd never expected to have to make decisions for a baby girl. He intends to place her with an adoptive family, but once he sees her, Sri can’t bring himself to do it. So now he’s struggling to learn how to deal with a newborn. His housemate and friend, Jaime Frias, volunteers to help, never guessing he’ll fall in love with both the baby and Sri.

Everything seems perfect until a visit from Social Services sends Sri into a tailspin, feeling like he has to choose between his daughter and a relationship with the man he’s coming to love.

Low angst, sweet story forcused on the baby

Jenny Urban gave a mediocre narration performance. Sometimes her voice sounded almost mechanical with not much emotion. It seemed weird sometimes for a woman to voice a gay sex scene.

I read this book in written form back in 2013. I did not remember the book the way it was actually written. I had remembered more conflict and a harder time of them becoming a couple, yet the reality is things were pretty easy for the men to achieve their family. A very interesting pairing with Indian and Mexican heritage. I wished their had been more engagement with their cultures. A solid story, lots of baby rearing scenes. 4 stars overall.

Great narrator

Loved the storyline, the narrator had an amazingly soothing and expressive tone to her voice. Loved the fact a woman was use she did herself proud

Surprisingly realistic

Any additional comments?

I have listened to dozens of gay male themed books on Audible. Many of them are supernatural fantasy or unrealistic romantic tales. This book had been in my “Wish List” for over a year. I was somewhat skeptical about listening to a book about gay men read by a female narrator. To my surprise, this was a fantastic book that explored so many issues that I could one day face. The narrator was superb and the way she read the story made me regret that I even considered her gender as a factor. This truly is a great story that I can realistically seeing happening to myself or one of my friends. Give it a chance.

A Wonderful Story

I loved this Audiobook. The romance was beautifully written and the topic of gay parenting was handled expertly.

The reader was wonderful as well. I would only comment that a woman is reading the story when most of the characters being voiced are male. It didn't really bother me, but it's something to consider.

Truly beautiful!

This book was worth every cent. This was such a heart warming book and the narrator's voice was perfect for the characters. I kept forgetting a woman was reading. I have a two year old and still remember all the baby refreshes they mentioned. So sweet. It's sad what a homosexual couple has to go through with all the ignorance in the world and it making their lives harder. I was happy that Ariel balanced out the bigotry with good people too. A total must read!!
