An Age Gap Gay Romance (White House Men Series, Book 3)

De: Nora Phoenix

Narrado por: John Solo

He doesn't just want the friendship or the benefits. He wants it all.

Rhett, the White House photographer, is tired of everyone treating him like he’s fragile. He wants a life of his own. Punch his V-card. A boyfriend.

Making new friends is a good first step, even if it’s with his boss, Calix, who’s 15 years his senior. Calix is kind and protective, and he encourages Rhett to spread his wings.

When Rhett stumbles, Calix is there to catch him, and what started as friendship, grows into a mutually beneficial arrangement. Friends with benefits. Kind of.

But Calix still mourns his dead husband, so what happens when Rhett wants to extend their arrangement...indefinitely? He doesn't just want the friendship or the benefits. He wants it all.

Meanwhile, the investigation continues, and the plot gets more and more complicated...and more dangerous. How far will the terrorists go to accomplish their goal?

Click is an MM romance with hurt/comfort, an age gap, a sweet virgin, and a friends-with-benefits arrangement. It’s the third book in the White House Men series, a romantic suspense series set in the White House, that needs to be listened to in order. Click ends with a happily ever after, but the suspense plot ends on a cliff-hanger and will be continued in the rest of the series.

Adore this Series

The author introduces us to a different type of gay relationship dynamic with each book in the series. She introduces & explores new sexual scenes, kinks, & fetishes (along w/ some good old vanilla love making) w/ each book. John Solo, the narrator, is extraordinarily talented as he changes his voice delivery w/ each character that he reads. While the sex scenes get a "rise" out of me, the storylines in which the romantic characters are placed are absolutely valid & captivating. The writing is so well informed, getting the complicated details of how the White House -- and all its corresponding tentacles -- operates, puts the reader deeply imbedded in the action, allowing us to witness all that is going on.

Narration and Story 5 stars

LOVED this narrator, really brought the emotional and spicy moments to life. The story and plot is already excellent and Solo's skill is the cherry and sprinkles on top of an already delicious Sundae.

📖 Story comment: Good pace and well written characters.
There are so many things I enjoyed about this book, especially the way the friendship between Calix and Rhett developed. I loved Rhett's character, that he was brave enough to discuss what he wanted with Calix, and understood Matthew would always have a place in Calix's heart.

🎧 Narrator comment: I enjoyed John Solo's narration and think he's done a good job narrating Click. Each character had their own voice and it was easy to tell them apart, he has good timing, inflections and intonations, and he did a great performance bringing the story to life.

Tender Care

These are honorable and loyal men. But their hearts are pure gold. Rhett is sensitive, kind, and a gifted photographer. Calix is all that and bag of chips.

The hunt for the bombers continues, circle of those in know strengthens, and our guys soldier on.

Loving the depth of characters and subplot grows stronger, more powerful

Live Again

I like how very subtly the relationship builds between Rhett and Calix. They have a struggle to figure out what they are building. This story also has the ongoing elements of backstory of the bombing and assignation with more threats.
I listened to the audio version and it really add a layer of drama.
