Love Hurts

Caldwell Brothers, Book 6

By: Aiden Bates, Ali Lyda

Narrated by: Austin Jay

Jun’s not better than me, but we might be perfect together.

Jun’s been a thorn in my side for years. Its only gotten worse since we’re both going after the same promotion. Being in the same room with him makes my heart pound. It’s anger. I can’t let it be anything else.

My family expects me to be the best. I have to earn this promotion and prove that belong on top. But when I catch Jun staring at me with heat in his eyes, medicine is the last thing on my mind. He’s not supposed to be into guys. Could he be into me?

I’ll show him who belongs on top.

Failure isn’t an option, and that’s not a problem...except when it comes to Kairo. The perfectionist doctor has been my only competition since medical school. He’s the only surgeon to ever best me. He’s my biggest rival, and I’m pretty sure he hates me, but he makes me feel...alive.

For years, we’ve sidestepped one another. Now, he’s awakened tantalizing feelings in me that I’ve been trying to ignore for most of my life. Being gay won’t fly in my conservative family. How can I consider coming out before I know he feels the same?

Sparks fly in Love Hurts when Jun and Kairo finally succumb to the forbidden desires that have simmered under the surface for years in this full-length contemporary m/m romance audiobook.

Beautifully written friends to lovers! Love Kairo and Jun!!!

Love Hurts is the Caldwell Brothers book 6, Kairo’s story. He’s the oldest brother and definitely my favorite in the series! I’ve loved them all but I think Bates and Lyda saved the best one for last! It’s so beautifully written and I loved the delicious enemies to lover’s HAF story between Kairo and Jun! It’s definitely one that was hard for me to pause for even a second! I’ve loved each and every one of the Caldwell brothers stories so much and I’m just so sad that it’s over. I really enjoyed narrator Austin Jays voices and theatrics making this audiobook come to life! Great job!

Excellent

I have been waiting for Kairo and Jun's story, and it wasn't a let down. Austin Jay did an excellent job narrating the story.

Kairo and Jun

Love Hurts is book 6, and the last book, in the Caldwell Brothers series. I love this beautifully written enemies to lovers story about Kairo and Jun. Kairo and Jun have been competing since med school, so when they were both up for the chief of staff position at the hospital their competitive nature came out. But something else happened as they developed less than hateful feelings for each other. I really enjoyed Kairo and Jun's journey as they discovered their love for each other and Jun's self acceptance as he went after what he wanted and not what his parents want for him. Definitely recommend this book and series.
Narrator Austin Jay does a marvelous job.

The last of the Caldwell's

I am so sad that this is the last Caldwell brother to fall. I love the whole family! But I have to say that I think the best was saved for last. Cairo and Jun's story was so great. Jun had to face up to his sexuality and the fact that his family would never accept him. Their loss for sure. The Caldwell's will make up for that. I guess that's a wrap. Hopefully there will be a reunion story in the future!

Loved Kairo and Jun

This story was fantastic!! I’ve been anxiously awaiting Kai’s story and it didn’t disappoint! Sooo good!! Austin Jay did a fantastic job with the narration.
