Publisher's summary

“Help raise money to improve our habitat! For a small donation, we’ll name a fish after your ex and feed it to the bears on Valentine’s Day!”

For Garrett Mitchell, who just found out his butthead of an ex-boyfriend cheated on him, that donation is money well spent.

And Tristan Waverly was just unceremoniously dumped by a man who is absolutely worthy of being tossed to hungry bears, so he’s more than happy to buy a fish.

As the bears chow down, though, everyone’s wondering the same thing—is it a coincidence, or are both fish named after the same guy?

There’s only one way to find out.

But when Garrett and Tristan come face to face, suddenly the last man either wants to think about is Kevin.

2 Dead Fish Named Kevin is a light, fluffy, and short Valentine’s Day romance (22,500 words).

Loved this story.

I love the whole fish thing, I really think everyone has at least one person they wouldn’t mind seeing as a dead fish. In this case I am glad these two men were able to come together; Kelvin is still an asshat. Great idea, can’t wait to see what comes next.

Great meet cute

This is the cutest meet cute I’ve ever read. I just wish they had sent the selfie to Kevin

enjoyed it

📖 Story comment: 2 Dead Fish Named Kevin exactly as adviertised "a light, fluffy, short Valentine’s Day romance". It has a good pace, an entertaining "meet cute" and the characters are likeable as they spend the day getting to know each other.

Fun

Fun Valentine's Day story, especially for animal lovers. Micheal was impeccable as he is always

Super sweet

If you love animals, the zoo and super sweet stories, this is a short story for you.

Short and Sweet

Ok in here we have a short story about how a horrible boyfriend can bring people together.

So we have Garrett, who dumped a guy because he was cheating on him and Tristan, who was dumped by the same guy, Kevin.

They meet via a zoo fundraiser and hit it off immediately. They spend that valentine's day at the zoo together and then they hook up afterwards. Garrett has some issues with sexytimes but they talk and all is good.

A year later, they are living together and can sail off into the sunset.

While I loved the narration, (Michael F is my comfort listen) the story was kind of flat. Most of the time I had no idea who was who. I was very lost in the beginning as the tale started but eventually I figured out what was going on.

But there just wasn't enough background to make these two feel real. Short stories are very hard to do, so I understand how it can happen, which should mean one works harder to make it make sense.

By the end I felt like I knew Kevin better than the mcs.

Happy Valentine’s Day

An absolutely perfect Valentine’s Day present to listen to while noshing on some chocolate and cuddling with my cats.

This is a short story given to us by wonderful author LA Witt, and narrated by the always amazing Michael Ferraioulo. This is a dream team for me.

Garrett and Tristan are both recently single, having been duped by a man named Kevin. Each of them see an advertisement from the local zoo, inviting people to name dead fish after their exes. The fish will then be fed to the bears. It’s a rather brilliant premise. When two fish named Kevin are thrown into the bear enclosure. the zookeeper laughingly wonders if it’s the same Kevin. The men exchange notes, and lo and behold, it is.

What happens next is a lovely day spent getting to know one another, and an even better evening. What it boils down to is, when you know you know. Both have been hurt and both are understandably a little skeptical to resume new relationships. It’s just a lovely little story about learning to trust again. AND THERE ARE CATS! Lol

Light & fluffy is right

“F ing Kevin!”
Aside from that single, and very appropriate, F bomb, the rest is indeed a light and fluffy MM romance.
It’s a lightning quick jaunt from the meet-cute to the medium-steamy scene to the HEA. And there’s cats.

Cute little story, good narration

Short, sweet, with a cute and believable couple.

The whole premise is complaining about an ex, which is something I really hate. Like, own your decision to date that person. But besides that I liked the whole story. It was nice, and felt natural, that they met, had that great date (of sorts) and then went home together. Quick, minimal angst, open-hearted.

The narrator was very good.
