Summary

Thornwell Shipton is wealthy, uptight, closeted, and an incurable workaholic. A tragic love affair left him terrified of relationships, so he tells himself sex is better scheduled and paid for.

Riley Dashwood is young, easy-going, and comfortable in his own skin. He's a passionate baker and an aspiring chef, working as an escort to save up for culinary school.

They're clearly made for each other.

When Thorne hires Dash, it's lust at first sight. After a few scorching nights together, both men start to wonder if what's between them is more than physical, but their age gap and resistance to romance make them afraid to change their professional relationship to a personal one. Dash pushes Thorne to admit he wants things he's denied himself for years. Kinky things. Soft, caring things. Things that force him to open his heart, not just his body. To move forward, one or the other must take a risk and ask for what he really wants.

A character driven masterpiece

I loved this story so much. It's a story that's all about the characters really and that's what I love best. Both are real and have their own flaws and positive points and you instantly get a connection for both. The way their relationship blooms is so subtle and beautiful (and steamy). Greg of course reads wonderfully and I heartily recommend anything he reads.

Finding Love in an Unexpected Place!

I loved this story. Greg's voice was perfect for the characters. The pace was on point. Thorne and Dash were so passionate with one another. I can't wait to listen to book 2!

A Thorne in his side

A tale that's like 2 books in 1. It starts as a sex-fest relationship, but the last 2 hrs are cute, hilarious, touching and like a different book with clever banter written by someone else. Perfect narration. AMUSING

If you liked this book you may like Elements of Retrofit series by N R Walker

Fun and easy listen

The story was easy and had little conflict it was nice to listen to something that wasn't drama the whole time, the voice actor was amazing and his deep voice really makes it 👍

Shagfest with cringy dialogue

The narrator is top notch but the writing was a little bland, with dialogue during the sex scenes that I found cheesy and cringy. No one gives a running commentary while they're shagging...if they do then they're not in the moment.
Basically, if you're looking for a book that is 70% shagging and 30% story, give this a try. I prefer more of a balance between plot and sex.
