✫✫ 4 Stars ✫✫

I just love this series more with each book. The safe and happy place that the author created always leaves my heart happy. Love the May/December romance and coming out story line in this book. It was sweet & sexy all in one. Can't wait to see what's next.

Hamish Long is as always perfect for this series.

Age gap and out for you.

A beautiful May/December story, where the older man (George, 45) is deeply in the closet and just barely starting to accept his being gay.
Quentin is 18 years younger, out and proud, and has been hurt in the past, so he's not sure he can bear the secrecy and hiding.
Once again, this author tells a story of two imperfect men, where it's not all hearts and butterflies and the sex is not always porn-worthy. Jay Northcote gives us all: the good, the bad and the awkward!

4 stars for book 5. But 5 stars for the whole ser

Amazing OFY age gap love story!

An amazing, well-written May-December romance with the perfect amount of angst, steam, starry-eyes and sweetness.

I loved the realness of this story, how everything wasn’t just perfect lust and connection from the first. This romance felt so genuine and authentic, like something that could happen to actual people, which made it a very appealing read to me. As a reader I got to cheer for Quentin and George as they stumbled, doubted or misspoke and sympathized with them as they struggled through some pretty awkward moments. And most importantly, I got to see them fall in love which was absolutely heartwarming.

George is a product of his upbringing, poor guy, and in some ways he’s in a prison of his own making because of that. He has carried around a big secret for most of his life and doesn’t appear to have any friends he can turn to in order to break free and be true to himself, which was pretty sad. I loved his bravery and how he handled his coming out though. Quentin is a wonderful character too. I could easily relate to his longing for a relationship, as well as his hesitancy to open himself up to heartbreak, again.

I loved how these two men fit into the Rainbow Place “community” and I especially liked Seb’s role in their story, though the glimpses we got of the other characters in the series were great fun as well.

Narration: Hamish Long again proves he's an amazing narrator and truly did justice to this wonderful love story. He manages to give every character, however small, a distinct voice and his intonation and pacing are perfect and made this audiobook into a wonderful listening experience. I love his smooth and warm voice, so pleasant to listen to and never grating, and his beautiful & clear enunciation.
