Over and Over Again

De: Cole McCade

Narrado por: Philip Alces

When Luca Ward was five years old, he swore he would love Imre Claybourne forever. Years later, that promise holds true - and when Luca finds himself shipped off to Imre's North Yorkshire goat farm in disgrace, long-buried feelings flare back to life. The lines around Imre's eyes may be deeper, the once-black night of his hair silvered to steel and stone . . . but he's still the same slow-moving mountain of a man whose quiet-spoken warmth, gentle hands, and deep ties to his Roma heritage have always, to Luca, meant home.

The problem?

Imre is more than twice Luca's age.

And Luca's father's best friend.

Yet if Imre is everything Luca remembered, for Imre this hot-eyed, fey young man is nothing of the boy he knew. Gone is the child, replaced by a vivid man whose fettered spirit is spinning, searching for north, his heart a thing of wild sweet pure emotion that draws Imre into the compelling fire of Luca's frustrated passions. That fragile heart means everything to Imre - and he'll do anything to protect it.

But can he resist the allure in cat-green eyes when Luca places his trembling heart in Imre's hands . . . and begs for his love, over and over again?

Contains mature themes.

what a story!

This audiobook was recommended to me over and over again (see what I did there?!?!?). And it didn’t disappoint.

It was a gorgeous opus that gives us an age-gap romance that kind of makes you feel like you’re in a dream state. Imre and Luca are so full of emotion and compassion. Even Luca’s, at times, frustrating immaturity was beautifully done and rather endearing. A bit impetuous, but thoughtful and caring too.

Imre is solid comfort. A salt-of-the-earth type that makes you feel safe immediately. It’s easy to see why Luca the boy and Luca the man had a crush on him. I was thrilled for this man to find someone to fill his solitary life.

The life they built is special.

And the narration is superb. I recently discovered Philip Alces and I find him utterly captivating.

Sweet story, beautifully narrated

Slow to get going but worth the wait. Love the narration, very enjoyable. Thanks to all.

Absolutely excellent narration

I’ve read this book before and was unsure of Philip’s narration based on the clip. But he was incredible. The accents alone but he did such a great job with the emotion and subtly on such a long and poetic book. So glad I grabbed it.

Incredibly Lovely

Cole McCade writes with poetic, sensitive, delicate sensuality. Words that make mental images come to life. Listening to this story is like making love with a lover who pays attention to erogenous zones overlooked by those who rush to completion. Age gap, silver fox and a delicately built but strong young man find purpose from confusion and sadness; find love that transcends anything while working together in an almost ethereal farm setting. Ethereal but also gritty and real as the two men manage a farm with goats in estrus, snow storms and physically demanding work from dawn to dusk.
I've read Over and Over Again several times before it was produced in audio. It's been a favorite to be enjoyed "over and over again". However, Phillip Alces brings this beautiful book to life. He is an incredible narrator.

Best Audio

This is one of my favorite books of 2022. The narration was phenomenal. some of the best writing I've ever read and deeply romantic.
