Publisher's summary

Rod Nelson is used to being someone's good time, and that's fine with him. Spending his days at his adult toy store, Rods-N-Ends, he never knows who he'll meet. The second Landon Harrison walks in, he has Rod's full attention. It seems as if Landon wants him too, so why won't the man jump in the sack with him already?

Landon never thought he'd return home to the town where memories lurk around every corner. He has to admit, Rod makes the adjustment a lot easier. He keeps Landon laughing. Despite the fierce attraction between them, he's not willing to risk his newfound friendship to get laid.

Neither man wants something serious, but the more they're together, the harder it is to keep their hands to themselves, until eventually they stop trying.

But flings between friends are never simple, and as they attempt to shift gears, diving into their first relationship, they're slammed with setbacks. If they want to truly move forward, before they hit the open road together, they're going to have to let go of a past that could make them crash and burn.

Contains mature themes.

Good story

I enjoyed the story. I've pretty much loved all the Riley Hart books. But I was turned off by the way Sean Crisden chose to give voice to Rod. High pitched, loud and nasally. Nothing sexy about that. But still, the story is a good one and I did listen to the entire thing.

Mature and Sexy

I really loved Rod and Landon’s story. It was sweet, sexy, and a mature story with a little bit of angst to make sure we were fully invested in these two.

These guys are fun and flirty, but I also loved that they talked, and pushed past the surface to build a friendship first. I appreciated that Landon demanded more than just sex from Rod. Though in someone ways they are opposite, they shared a love of spending time together. They also shared the terrible father lottery. It became a centre point of their story as they try and work through the baggage they’d been left with.

As expected from Riley, this is a well-crafted story that kept you engaged the whole way through.

I enjoyed the audiobook, narrated by Sean Crisden. Not my favourite, but still enjoyable.

Worth the listen!! hot hot hot and funny!

You will need to get pass Rod's character's voice. It can be annoying... but when you get used to it, you get it! That's how it's supposed to be. And then, you'll like it better than any other voice. Keep this in mind when you listen to this book. Imagine Rod as a twink with eyeliner. He does have a girly voice. He's not your typical masculine man, like Landon.

The story is quite interesting. A biker with a twink. Odd mix but they work well together. Their interaction is so funny and charming. I really enjoyed their bickering. Landon wants to be friends and Rod just wants to f**k. That's the start of the book. The intimate scenes are hot hot hot! Aren't they always with Riley Hart!

This book is definitely a good listen. I noticed other's comments where they don't like Rod's voice. Get pass this because the book is worth it. Enjoy!

Sweet story

Enjoyed story, however the narration of Rod’ s voice was a little disappointing. The rest of characters were above standard and the story line itself was good.

Shifting Gears

Great audiobook. I had absolutely loved listening to this audiobook. I recommend this audiobook book.

Good, intense story

a good story with intense ups and downs. above-average character development, though a bit rushed at times. unusual for this genre, the character development is relatively believable and much less fantastic than it tends to be in some writings.

Narrator ruined it

Not sure what the thought process was with the voice choices but they really detracted from the story.

Enjoyed the story

Really loved Rod and Landon's story. I loved and related to Rod's struggles and Landon stepping up at every turn despite his past. They were perfect for one another. The book had a lot of depth and the audio narrator was great.

A little needy

I can say the story overall was okay. I do like how the main characters are just the “average Joe” not some millionaire fantasy that become a real life Cinderella story. The main characters both have daddy issues which they work through together. Rod seems very needy at times that gets to be a little to much. The romance is good and sex scenes are well written and stimulating.

Don't love the reader, but a great series

Any additional comments?

The reading of Rod's voice is annoying, and makes it hard to like the character
