About this listen

The guitarist, the dad, and a band on the rise....

Johnny

A quiet place to live and some time to recharge before my band heads out on the road again sounds amazing. I wouldn’t mind a distraction, too, but my new neighbor is off-limits. There are rules about not getting involved with your bandmate’s ex, right? And Sean isn’t my type anyway. He’s too bossy, too commanding, and he has way too much baggage. I’ve learned that it’s best to let go of the heavy stuff. So why am I so drawn to him?

Sean

Coming out later in life has taught me to protect my privacy at all costs. And while juggling a handful of businesses and two kids isn’t easy, I excel at the art of multitasking and keeping everything separate. But Johnny blurs those lines. He’s easy-going, sweet-natured, and cool. In short, he’s everything I’m not. I want to know all about him...starting from the top.

Starting from the Top is a MM, bisexual romance with some rock and roll, an age gap, and a little family fun! Each book in the Starting From series can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

Story: I love this series! Loved it from the start and with this part I love it a whole lot more! Johnny's and Sean's story was everything! A great age gap story with plenty of banter and witty comments, hurt and healing, but most of all hope for a bright future! Lane Hayes is great at showing the reader all the emotions and all the character development the MCs go through! I absolutely love, how the focus was not only on their relationship, but them as people as well!
Narration: Great job by Michael Dean! Top notch performance as always!

This was a feast!

I’ve loved this series so so much, this one is all about Johnny and Sean, who are immediately attracted to one another, but, of course, life really isn't that simple. Both carry baggage, however, I loved that this didn't impede their relationship developing so naturally, it was very believe able. Ms Hayes has written a lovely romance here, there's no obvious insta love, they start out no strings attached, and it was a beautiful thing to watch their feelings grow.

They had their little misunderstandings and doubts about each other, and I loved that little bit of uncertainty they both experienced, it especially demonstrated to Sean his own shortcomings. His reveals to Johnny were heartbreaking.

I absolutely adored Johnny, he's cute and funny, is so humble, and just exudes a sexy confidence that you can’t help but love. In fact, he's definitely one of my favourite Lane creations, so far 🥰

A wonderful, truly enjoyable and addictive story, which demonstrates how important family and self forgiveness are, it also took a surprising turn, I didn't expect. It's packed full of family, love, laughs and second chances. Highly recommend the whole series, as in both eBook and audible form.

Michael Dean is an exceptional narrator, he really has come this story justice.


Excellent all round x
