The Guy from Glamour

The Guy, Book 1

By: Skylar M. Cates

Narrated by: Matt Baca

Nice guy Anthony has a sudden “friends with benefits” relationship with a hot military man.

Anthony’s sex life is better than ever. It would be perfect - if only he didn’t crave more. The chemistry between them is on fire, but Anthony is uncertain of asserting what he wants, at least beyond the bedroom.

Ex-military and new to the small town of Glamour, Dean doesn’t do relationships, though he is supposed to become his niece’s guardian. Soon, however, his niece is melting Dean’s guarded heart, along with her guidance counselor Anthony. Out of place in the town and among Anthony’s warm-hearted family, Dean struggles with the idea of permanence.

Can a no-strings sexual arrangement spark something more real?

Good but not special

Not the best book but still, if you are looking for a sweet story to lose yourself in for a couple of hours it is worth your credit.

Bad Title. Good Story.

The story was far better than the cover and title. It was actually a sweet read with an opposites attract theme. There was minimal angst and a cast of strong secondary characters, both contributing to a solid story. The narrator does a good job, bringing out the emotions in the characters. Worth a credit.

A gem I didn't know I had in my shelf!

Any additional comments?

This was such a gem hidden away among my shelves! I'm so happy I finally got around to listen to it!

A beautiful, slow burn love story mixed with a family theme. The story had so much going for it!

Loved Dean and Anthony. They were so different, but perfect for each other. I appreciated nothing was rushed into. I also liked Anthony's family. Their interactions and conversations were true and genuine. I liked reading about Mia, Anthony's sister and Cody. It was a little touch that made the whole book just sweeter. I honestly could have done without Rick "the prick", Anthony's ex-boyfriend. I'm not sure it added to the story. It made for some light angst, but that story line could easily have been dropped from the book, really. It would have been enough with getting to know Dean, Nicky, Anthony and his family.

I was also introduced to Aaron Weiss, Dean's army buddy, who is the main character of book 2 "The Only Guy."

Narration:
Matt Baca is a new to me narrator. He did an awesome job, and I'm really impressed! He did all the voices, and the narrated sex scenes were really hot.
Very well done, Baca!

I'm so looking forward to start the second book! Recommended!

Everything He's Never Had

Dean has one path and he's been following it for years. Keep his head down and don't get involved. But his niece Nicki has shaken all of that to the core. Anthony represents everything that Dean has been denied in life. We know it really depends on how willing Dean is to open himself up to the possibility of a whole new way of life.

Riva got it right.

Riva, a fellow reviewer who's taste I've begun to trust, got it right. A comfort read. Sweet story about an unlikely pair who get together against the odds. Light, comforting albeit just a little frivolous - but then, isn't that what we want from the genre?
