The Handler

The Manhandled Series, Book 1

By: August Jones

Narrated by: Dane Anderson, Nathan Wolfe

Gideon York is one of the most famous queer men in the world, but since his very public sex scandal, he’s on the verge of being permanently cancelled.

Up for three Grammys this year, he needs to get through his six-week European tour without further incident or bad press.

That’s where I come in. Call me his security detail, bodyguard, babysitter, or handler—I’ve been hired to keep him within my line of sight and out of trouble until the award ceremony. Should be a cakewalk.

But nothing about Gideon or his life is ordinary, and no interaction I have with him feels anything less than charged. He makes me question everything I thought I knew about fame, desire, and sexuality.

The more I know him, the more he invades me. The more I let him in, the more I lose myself.

Gideon York is no cakewalk. He’s a recipe for disaster. And it turns out—I’m here for it.

great narration

didn't like the lack of backstory.... the characters should have had more struggles with it. but it was still one of the best books I've read

Spicy and lovely!

Whelp…in trying to accurately praise the producers, author and narrators for a phenomenal product, I was sent to the censor box by Amazon. Enough said, this book is chock full of depth, spice (🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5) and goodness. Loved it (and currently MORE in love with book 2). Have you ever listened to a book that is so steamy that you needed a break to reconsider one’s life choices? That was this book for me! A 10K rating recommend to the friends of my friends🤭

Forgot how hot it was

This is a re-read for me. Love the audio. Both narrators are outstanding 👏🏼

This entire series is so good. August Jones knows how to write spice :)

Omg

Officially probably my favorite of all times. I’m so sad it’s over 😭 if you’re hesitant, don’t be. It’s more than you could ever expect. The ups and downs. The love and fight. It’s just too much to put into words.

Wow

This book was so much more than I was expecting! I am absolutely crazy about these 2 and the audio just made this book even better!
