Boys of Summer

By: Cooper Davis

Narrated by: Brian Pallino

I thought I knew what love was… My name is Hunter Willis and I’ve found love. The problem? I’m not sure I’m ready for the rest of the world to know I’ve fallen for my best friend. Everyone knows Max is gay. Me? They think I’m straight as an arrow. So did I, until Max and I shared a kiss three months ago that blew that theory right out of the water. Now, by the ocean in Florida, thousands of miles away from prying eyes, I’m finally ready to admit to myself that Max and I have something special. Max has been ready for a long time - and he’s been waiting for me. Really waiting. As in… he’s still a virgin. There's nothing I want more than to be Max’s first lover. But I know when Max gives away that part of himself, it won’t be just a summer fling. It’ll be for keeps. Max deserves the best. I’m just not sure, when it comes right down to it, that I won’t break his heart. Did I mention I’m scared as hell?

Surprisingly good for a novella

I can’t for the life me understand the complaints about the confusing timeline. There really wasn’t that much jumping back and forth. Just a guy laying in bed thinking back over the previous few months.

The only real faults to this story are due to its brevity. It comes off as a coming of age story in the beginning, like it’s a spring break trip or something. The MC’s backstory isn’t shared and it’s a jolt when you realize they are fully grown men with careers and established incomes. Relationship history between the MCs and their friends are not fleshed out. But fir a 2 hour read, it’s very sweet and worth reading if you need something to fill a couple hours.

Inspiring and Beautiful love story

I couldn't stop reading this beautiful love story! Very inspiring and at moments found myself smiling uncontrollably!

Loved it!

It was sweet and sexy and nothing I was expecting. The only reason I gave it 4 * was because I wish it was longer. The author should've written the prequel instead of the secuel. That one Im gonna skip, because I dont want to lose the fuzzy feeling this one got me ;)
And lets face it, Brian Pallino has one of the sexiest voices ever!

So sweet!

This was a touching story of coming to terms with sexuality and the depth of love that can happen between two people. I loved it. It was sweet, felt realistic, and well performed.

Short, sweet, and lovable

Contains all of the typical romance tropes but the characters are likeable and genuine. The writing is pleasant and while the smut is okay, the center focus is clearly on the romance and character conflicts. I really did enjoy this book and I recommend it if you want something short and sweet to listen to
