The Muse's Undoing

Doormen of the Upper East Side, Book 2

By: August Jones

Narrated by: Zachary Johnson, Ellis Evans

What if this is the worst idea?

I may be struggling as an artist in New York, but I'm a great doorman. Is it the easiest job in the city? Probably. And it gives my mind all the time it needs to wander. Sometimes to my current project or muse, but more often to the one who got away.

I was the one he used to reach for in the middle of the night when the nightmares came. My adopted brother, once not much more than a stranger, became my closest friend during one of the most difficult times of his life.

Now home from years overseas as a journalist, Fischer is back in his apartment on the Upper East Side where I man the door most evenings, adjusting to his life as a single dad. I've missed him, and at least that feeling is mutual.

The other feelings I have for Fischer aren't something we talk about or even acknowledge. No. He only rubs my back to help me sleep. We cuddle up to watch TV. We touch because he needs it, and I crave it. Then, with a single kiss eight years in the making, we unleash a love that could grind both our lives to dust.

Five Alarm Fire Hot

There aren't enough positive words for how great this book is. Forbidden love, pining, obsessive MCs. Highly recommend.

Just as good as the first!

This is the second book i’ve listened to by this author and I loved both of them. Good story, good writing, and really clever premise with the Doormen theme. Great narrating by both men, but I have to confess a weakness for Zachary Johnson’s voice. When he drops into that soft, low, rumbly voice, I get goosebumps. It reminds me a lot of Zercy (If you know, you know).

I LOVE this series

I loved everything about this book! The actors brought back the world to life! The tension, the hurt, the pining and the love! This was fantastic

fantastic listen

the story is heartwarming and heart-wrenching and everything you want to listen to in a really good romance. the sex in this story is incredible! I loved every minute, even the tormented drama parts of it that I know you have to get through to get to the happily ever after. these are two of my favorite narrators as well. Zachary Johnson, alias Zane Daniels, and Ellis Evans are really really good together. I loved everything about this book.

WOW!

Such a good book. My heart was broken and put back together so many times. A hard fought HEA, but so worth it. Emotional, spicy, great depth of characters, and a great plot. Worth the credit!
