Resumen del Editor

Carter

Relationships - who needs 'em? As a personal-assistant-extraordinaire to one of the top PR firms in Los Angeles, I've dedicated most of my life to errand-running and people-pleasing. But when it comes to men, as much as I love to please them in the bedroom, I'm way too busy to give more than that. Fortunately, as far as my options go...well, let's just say I'm used to getting what I want, whenever I want it.

Unless your name happens to be Sawyer Burke.

I haven't been in Fever Falls long, but the more time I spend here, the more intrigued I've become by the guy with the sexy auburn locks and the no-nonsense attitude. He plays the quiet, bookish part well, but he's got a problem - I have a talent for reading people, and if there's one thing I'm certain about, it's that there's a wild sex-beast hiding under his clever facade. He thinks screwing around is all a big game to me, but games can be fun, right?

Sawyer

I've always been a relationship guy. I never understood the urge to bed a different guy every night. But it hasn't worked out well for me. The one time I let my guard down with a guy, he crushed me. Broke me. That's not something I'm eager to risk again, so I focus on my friends, my brother, and my bookstore. Really, it's better for me. I'm not the kind of guy most men want anyway.

Unfortunately, I can't get Carter James out of my head. I told myself I hate him - and I should. He's everything I'm not - loud, sassy...and more than a little annoying. But I want him too, and he's made no secret of wanting me. I refuse to get caught up in one of his games, but I'm also learning there's more to Carter than meets the eye. He unleashes something inside me I never knew was there - this dominant sex-god that somehow makes me feel more like me than I ever have.

I can't let myself fall in love with him. Easier said than done. Carter challenges me in ways I didn't know I needed. What we share becomes a game of sorts, but not the kind I first thought, and the longer we play, the more likely it is that the losers will be our hearts. We should stop. We should know better. But even if there's the unlikeliest chance that we might win - well, then - game on.

Game On is part of the Fever Falls series but can be listened and enjoyed on its own.

Game on Truly

Great love st p
Great love story. Great characters who are more real than usual.. Very good read

Spicy and Sweet

Who wouldn’t love a book nerd turned dom top? But really I loved how much Carter and Sawyer grew together and brought out different sides each of them never suspected existed. These men were so stinking cute and extremely steamy together and of course Michael Dean brought them to life magnificently.

Sadly sweet

This is a pretty sweet though a little heartbreaking as well story and a nice continuation of the series. I like how they are all connected and I really enjoyed that this was not overly drawn out through the beginning. Dean does a good job with the narration.

Loved

This is one of my favorite of the Fever Falls series. I loved Sawyer and Carter. It made me cry. Narration perfect as always.

Chapter 5 and 33 mixed up and disappointment

Not sure how or who to submit a complaint to but chapter 5 is actually chapter 33 and chapter 33 is actually chapter 5. To say the least it pissed me off because going into what I thought was chapter 5 and being in shock by suddenly hearing I was on chapter 33 and not responding quickly enough to stop the playback I was abruptly hit with a major spoiler for the whole damn book. I couldn’t let that go against my reviews because it’s not the authors or narrators fault this occurred but either way I'm still very disappointed in audible to release something with such a huge mix up.

Loved it!

Saturgays...what a great thing! I have loved all the characters of Fever Falls. Each story in the series has really great characters and the story lines are all different. Michael Pauley brings them to life perfectly! Don’t miss this series!!!

Back in Fever Falls

I always know what I’m going to get when I head back to Fever Falls. Hot guys and sweet love stories. This is book five in the series and I love it as much as I did the previous four. I’ve watched the characters evolve and I knew at the end of the last book that things were going to get interesting for Sawyer and Carter. I wasn’t wrong.

Carter James has a reputation for enjoying hook-ups. He’s always up for a good time but doesn’t worry about lingering doubts. Doesn’t focus no long term deals. He’s got a good thing going and has a fun time so why worry?

Sawyer Burke has watched Carter from afar, admitting he’s attracted but not letting himself go further because he’s not interested in just being another one in a line. He’s also been burned in the past and self-doubt plagues him.

When the two men wind up alone in a ski chalet in Canada I figured sexy times, right? I love forced proximity as a trope but quickly discovered there were going to be more conversations than hooking up. Talking is good. In the men’s case, it works to their advantage. Both admit some vulnerability, trusting the other man not to use that knowledge against him.

At the core, this book is a love story. Two men who begin a relationship (a term I use lightly) as a way to blow off steam and get on with their physical attraction. Neither expected things to become serious. Neither believed the other could come to love him. And just when the men are willing to admit their feelings, one is given the chance of a lifetime – but it means giving up the man he loves.

Ouch.

I had my doubts. I wondered how it could work. I knew it would, but I still had fears.

I got my happy ending, though, so that was good. I also got a whole lot of humor, as I’ve come to expect in these books. One morning Carter is having coffee with Serena. She’s an aging actress and her gay son is Carter’s boss. They are discussing enthusiastic lovers when Serena says:

“Oh, I imagine Jace rides him like some man beast and makes my little baby squeal like a gazelle being ripped to shreds by a lion.”

Carter retorts, “I want to gouge my eyes out.”

I kind of felt the same way but was also amused. So I had giggles, I had sniffles, and I had a great book.

Of course the series is narrated by the wonderful Michael Pauley who does a great job. He nails each character perfectly and does it flawlessly. Another fabulous listen.

Favorite so far of series

Definitely my favorite couple so far great chemistry and I cried during the sad parts I was gutted for them lol

Not my favorite of the series

The random jumps in timeline back & forth (e.g., chapter 33) didn’t make any sense or add any value to the storyline - they were annoying and detracted from the overall listening experience.

So beautiful!

Omg! Out of the entire series thus far, this is my favorite! There is something about Sawyer and the way that Carter build him up that it’s just so beautiful! 100% in love with this couple!
