Publisher's summary

Romance on Aisle 16 - opposites attract amid the hammers and screws of the home improvement store.

Gabe Mason became a father at 17, and his daughter, Ellie, is the most important thing in his life. But being the parent the courts demand means Gabe has given up most of his dreams - education, making furniture, a gay social life - to be a model dad with a steady, reliable job in a home improvement store. Life's predictable until Jerry, a shy, eccentric guy in a hat and sunglasses, begs Gabe to oversee the renovation of his run-down mansion.

Gabe loves the house and the work, and Jerry's pretty lovable too, but when Gabe discovers Jerry's secret identity, he fears their passion could overturn both their lives forever.

Contains mature themes.

So sweet & satisfying

Very endearing and engaging. Loved both MMCs and side characters except obviously the ex wife's boyfriend. Gabe is such a loving and great dad! Cute story, low drama & angst. Kirt Graves did a great job as always with the narration, had to listen with the speed @ 1.2, but not a big deal.

Sweet story…

…of discovery of self, self worth and what you can bring to any table, regardless of your fame or wealth. A little quick in terms of the time between the meet cute and the happy ever after ending, but that’s a minimal, passing thought. No obvious tropes and well written. Really good narration too!

Very sweet HEA, great pallet cleanser!

I took a chance on this audio not knowing the author but the story ended up being very enjoyable, low angst, and very sweet with a great HEA at the end. I enjoyed the characters and the world building as well. I'm very much into home improvement so the detailing of what improvements were going into the house one of the MC's purchased was great! I must say there was very very little steam, maybe one main scene and two very small satellite scenes in there, but the story was entertaining so it didn't matter to me at all this time around. I'm not normally a huge fan of Kurt Graves because he doesn't change his voice for any of the characters so it's difficult to follow which MC is supposed to be speaking the dialog, but this one only gave me trouble maybe five or six times instead of being constant throughout the audio as is normally the case for me when he is narrating. Great listen for those looking for a pallet cleanser!
