Love Me Again

Stonewall Investigations: Blue Creek, Book 1

By: Max Walker

Narrated by: Greg Boudreaux

Austin Romero: No one's fast enough to outrun grief. Trust me, I've tried. I ran away from the city and took a job as the lead detective back in my old home town of Blue Creek, New Hampshire. I expected to bump into past ghosts, but I never expected those ghosts to reopen old wounds.

The biggest ghost of them all: Charlie Marsh. He was the man who had stolen my heart when we were teens, and who now couldn't even remember a single day we had spent together. Which makes it exceptionally awkward when he becomes my first client.

Charlie Marsh: An accident stole seven years of my memories, robbing me of experiences, lessons, people.

It robbed me of my first love. I couldn't remember who Austin even was, much less when and where we shared our first kiss. So when I bumped into the most jaw-droppingly handsome man I'd ever seen, I had no idea we already shared an entire galaxy's worth of history between us.

Second chances aren't always easy, and this one only gets more complicated after finding out that my "accident" wasn't an accident at all, and it seems like someone wants to finish the job. Good thing I've got a hot detective's number on speed-dial.

Contains mature themes.

Exactly what I need

Sometimes you just need a gay live story. Got It! I love the narrator. And loved the story. Overall. Amazing. Story just what I needed

Very good book with excellent narration

First off, Greg Boudreaux is one of my favorite narrators. I didn’t get the book because of him, but I loved the way he distinguished the two MCs with his vocal placements and accents. The prose was at many times truly lovely. The story was very good, though I felt the wrap-up of the mystery was a bit too facile.

One thing that perplexes me is that the segue at the end doesn’t seem to lead into the synopsis I read of the next book in the series, and I wonder how much of these characters I will have the pleasure of following if I read the sequel. As much as I enjoyed this, though, and the series it spun off of, I might just get the next book!

So good!!

A great mix of mystery and romance! Loved that this book was not a stressful or dramatic read while still keeping me on my toes. Exactly what I needed!

Wonderful, story, great narration

The story keeps you on the edge the entire time, and the love between the two main characters is incredible. I highly recommend this book.

Love Me Again

Love Me Again distills everything that worked in the Stonewall Investigations universe into a quieter, more emotionally intimate Blue Creek coda, balancing romance with a grounded investigative thread. The case unfolds with a smaller scope but real stakes, mirroring the characters’ emotional exhaustion and need for truth as much as justice. Walker shifts the tension inward, focusing on grief, second chances, and the cost of loving someone after damage has already been done, while letting the mystery steadily apply pressure. Both the investigation and the romantic relationship land with equal weight, fantastic start to the series!
