The Queen & the Homo Jock King

At First Sight

By: TJ Klune

Narrated by: Michael Lesley

Sequel to Tell Me It's Real

Do you believe in love at first sight?

Sanford Stewart sure doesn't. In fact, he pretty much believes in the exact opposite, thanks to the Homo Jock King. It seems Darren Mayne lives for nothing more than to create chaos in Sandy's perfectly ordered life, just for the hell of it. Sandy despises him, and nothing will ever change his mind.

Or so he tells himself.

It's not until the owner of Jack It - the club where Sandy performs as drag queen Helena Handbasket - comes to him with a desperate proposition that Sandy realizes he might have to put his feelings about Darren aside. Because Jack It will close unless someone can convince Andrew Taylor, the mayor of Tucson, to keep it open.

Someone like Darren, the mayor's illegitimate son.

The foolproof plan is this: seduce Darren, and push him to convince his father to renew Jack It's contract with the city.

Simple, right?

Wrong.

A Must Have for TJ Klune & Michael Lesley Lovers!

Any additional comments?

I have expectations of a T.J. Klune novel. It must be funny, it should have some emotions tucked into it too, and above all, it should be written so I can devour it quickly thoroughly enjoying every turn of the page.

This had the potential to go either really wrong or really right. Luckily, my faith in T.J. Klune remains unblemished, because this was totally right.

I love the humor, the feels (though I was a little surprised I didn't get hit with wookie cry face), and the way Klune handles bringing back some of my favorite characters.

Sandy is, of course, fierce and divine and hot mess and wonderful.

Paul and Vince, Matty and Larry Auster, Nana...they're all back and in rare form. Some of the text conversations and interactions in this story...So. Freaking. Funny.

There's some miscommunication, which drives me up a wall, but it works here for the most part and shows how well it's written that I didn't want to chuck my Kindle through a window. I especially loved how Sandy handles the whole seduction of Darren Mayne, Homo Jock King. It's brilliant, and funny, and had me snort laughing until it was hard to breathe.

In the end, the whole thing is deliciously well done, and if you are a fan of Tell Me It's Real you will not be disappointed in this.

If you listened to Michael Lesley's performance for book one in the series Tell Me It's Real (At First Sight #1) then you know you are going to laugh your butt off when listening to this. If you haven't listened to it, then what is wrong with you? Go - go buy it now. And don't forget to get this as well.

This was what I imagine it was like listening to radio shows before television and movies became popular. Truly a riveting *performance*.

Love it

Just as good as the first book. There were some really funny stuff going on that had me laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. Darren & Sandy were perfect for each other & I was so glad that they finally stopped dancing around each other. Mike, you sneaky dog you!!

laughed so hard.

the story was great. narrator was awesome. he made it so exciting. so so funny.

Keeps Getting Better

I loved Sandy in book 1 but here in this book, I really felt a connection to his character and background story. This series just keeps getting better. I enjoyed learning more about Paul, Vince, Darren, and the rest of the family and friends. Of course, I ❤ Michael Lesley because he is the king of bringing emotional hilarity to life.

I want to give this 100 stars

As much as I enjoyed reading this and found it hysterical when it first came out, I was not prepared for the pure perfection that is Michael Leslie's narration. I have never heard such brilliance. His sounds and comedic timing were spot on. And the various voices he did were all totally distinct.
The characters were all lovable and the story was fun.
I can't wait for Cory's turn!
