About this listen
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.

Nice story, easy listen
I enjoyed the story, it's a stress free listen from start to finish. The story and characters were enough to keep me engaged throughout. The only negative was the narration. The narrator that voiced Cameron was great (5 stars) & I would have preferred that he'd voiced the entire book. The narrator that voiced Jeremiah was a let down for me (3 stars) and so I had to give the narration an over all four stars.

Works better as a book
I read this tale and loved the book, but the audio didn’t transition well for me. I couldn’t get on with the narrators and their voices didn’t work with the characters they were portraying. If you like the narrators you’ll likely love the story - it was pure romance with a little bit of a side story but basically all about Jeremiah and Cam and it was just lovely.

Scratch the surface
This is my first dual narration and I have to say that I really enjoyed it! I sped up the speed to 1.2 and have found that really works for me

Narration not so great.
Tristan James is very am dram and stilted unfortunatel, although he has a lovely voice. The other narrator is excellent. The story is sweet.

Just wow!
Not only do I love these two narrators, their voices do something to me, make me feel all squishy inside, especially Tristan James, but then there were Jeremiah and Cameron. And wow, do they have something incredibly special, real and brutally honest from the outset.
This story had me hooked and staying awake far too late because I couldn't let go! The dual narration brings each of the characters to life and blends seamlessly so you know who you are listening to and are totally absorbed at the same time. Jeremiah and Cameron's lives could not be more different and yet there is so much about these men that calls them together, the lure is impossible to resist and they bring something the other needs. Their love, understanding and devotion to one another is so incredibly heartwarming that I thought mine might burst from my chest. This is a keeper, they are keepers. I am going to find some more Mary Calmes books now!

This story is a mess
This book isn't sure what it wants to be. It begins with hustler Jeremiah who is looking for tricks at a hotel, and then ends up spending the night with a man named Cameron. I thought then that the book would be an instalove ...but then the story twists then, and gets bogged down with Jeremiah's other jobs because, as it turns out, he's a social work grad student who works as a restaurant manager, and at a mission for troubled teens...and one of the troubled teens was the victim of an abduction...But..... Then we have Cameron...and his story is a whole other kettle of fish. And after I night of hot sex these guys are 'in a committed relationship'. WTH!! It's like the author had a bunch of stories and ideas for backstories and mushed them together. There's no linear narrative, and I have no idea what the story wants to be. it's a mess.
Tristan James narration is really disappointing here. It sounds like he's phoning it in, i couldn't differentiate the characters he read, and the tone was a bit cheesy and unnecessarily sarcastic. Tim Paige was better, but with 2 hours left I was just so confused and bored with the below par writing that I dnf.
