Summary

Derek Murphy has come to the godforsaken small town of Merritt, British Columbia, in search of a new beginning. The man is tired, jaded, and resigned to never having sex again. Until Friday night at the local sports bar changes everything.

Harold Graham, hometown boy made good, has lived in Merritt his entire life. When he meets the new guy in town, he’s compelled to reach out the hand of friendship. And maybe more.

But secrets and omissions cloud what could be the beginning of something special. Can they take a chance on being vulnerable enough to fall in love?

"Ace’s Place" is a 13,000-word short story about second chances, hockey, and an adorable but nosy Bouvier.

Short and sweet!

A bar owner meets a new man in town. Instant connection. Insta love and a great short listen. It has enough depth for a novella. Awesome characters and an on point narration.

A sexy meet-cute sparks forever!

Great chemistry and kismet! From a bar meet-cute to forever, this short story was sexy, sweet and witty. Clear and concise, Derek and Ace are perfectly matched!

Another great short story from Gabbi Grey!

I’ve loved all of the books I’ve read by Gabbi Grey and this one is no exception. I don’t think all authors can write good short stories/short novellas but Gabbi Grey does. This is an instant connection story with a cute dog and a very satisfying HEA.

Michael Dean did his usual great job performing this audiobook. He really makes the characters come to life.

A complimentary copy of this audiobook was provided to me at my request but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author and/or narrator.

Enjoyable

This was a short novella that I really enjoyed. It was the perfect length for my commute to and from work. I loved the mild “mistaken” identity trope. Derek has been through a lot, and he’s initially suspicious of the hot bartender who flirts with him. Yet, despite the emotional baggage, Derek and Ace find their way together surrounded by a great community. I really enjoyed this story and thought the audiobook was just well narrated by Michael Dean.

good short

Good short story.
when Derek moved to the back of nowhere he thought he would become celibate but then he met Harold. After a miss communication thing started to go on track. sweet second chance for both men looking for their forever
Micheal Dean's narration was good, portrayed Derek as a quiet man while Harold was very much in charge going for what he wanted

Entertaining story and great performance

I've been hitting the jackpot with Michael Dean performances on audio book lately, and this one is no exception. He captures Derek's exhaustion and almost bitterness at the beginning perfectly and then we can hear his attitude change as he meets Ace and their relationship develops from friendship to much more. There were some nice twists in the story and everything was nicely tied up at the end.

All the stars

I loved the chemistry and the evolution of the relationship. The way they tried to fight the inevitable and the push and pull was so enjoyable. There was also some amazing narration in this one which entertained me even more. So good.
