Resumen del Editor

Sometimes things look one way, but when you scratch the surface, there's more than meets the eye.

Jeremiah Wolfe has always done what was necessary to survive. When a rare night off finds him with the chance to make a quick buck, he jumps on it. A meaningless one-night stand is simple and easy, so he steps into the hotel room - as he has many - without expectation. But the man behind the door is a surprise, as is the instant connection that builds along with passion and a glimpse of his heart.

Cameron Gallagher has never been accused of being spontaneous. He's always been the careful one, so inviting a stranger into his bed on the lure of his gorgeous smile and warm brown eyes isn't only out of his comfort zone, it's entirely out of character. Surprisingly, when he wakes in the morning alone, it's not regret he feels, but the need to find the man who held him in his arms all night.

When they're brought back together, each man believes it's more than luck. They feel as though they've gotten a second chance. Sure, love at first sight is just a myth, the stuff of romance novels, but the more they scratch the surface, the more they realize they've got a shot at something lasting.

So Good!

I'm convinced Mary Calmes can't do anything wrong. I have loved every books she's put out and this one is no different. Even narrators I typically dislike (not these I love Tristan) don't bother me when reading her work.

Good story

The only thing I really disliked was the narration for Jeremiah, he sounded like a robot.

Smooth enjoyment

I don't know how to truly convey how I felt about this story/listen as I often find "insta love" trite and unbelievable - but I believe Mary Calmes pulled this one off beautifully. Two very interesting main characters and back stories but I think it was Mary Calmes' prose that made this story/listen seamless and beautiful. She seems to have the gift when writing dialog and interactions that show you who the characters are without having to explain it to the reader.

I always love both narrators - Tristan James always just does it for me to be honest - and I think their voices just added to the beauty of the story.
It was pure smooth enjoyment and I think one of her better novels.

cheesy

I can not decide if the writing of this book was cheesy or the narration. This book was good but, not as enjoyable as some others. It was a nice light read.

Great story. Slightly confusing narration.

Great narrators but there were many times when I couldn’t tell the difference between the two main characters.

story good, a bit rambling

I like the characters and there's some plot going on, which I always appreciate when there's romance. There is waaaaaay too much detail at times that should be chopped out, like unnecessary/unwanted conversations between characters that don't add to tone or character development or plot.

Sweet story

I really liked this story. The two main charachters are well written and bieliveable. It's the first time I've listened to a story with two narrators, but I think it worked great.

Romantic, sweet and manly.

I’ve listened to this book probably 10 times and it just makes me happy every time I listen to it. Great characters, believable characters, and the kids are so sweet. it is a lovely love story between two men in this author, who is one of my favorites makes them come alive.

yup like it alot

I really enjoyed this story. The Mc were likable. wish the ended was a little different.

Not my favorite Mary book

okay listen. Gave it a chance because i'm a fan of the author, not one of my favorites.
