Resumen del Editor

Bode Silver doesn’t have time for feelings or a relationship. Then Sage shows up. Sage is Silver’s exact opposite, his renter, and his new employee. The kid is much too young and much too innocent. There are a million reasons why Silver and Sage should never get together. And Silver plans to keep it that way.

Until all of those reasons go up in flames with one kiss.

Silver and Sage is a steamy, slow burn M/M age gap, opposites-attract romance between a shy, inexperienced nerd and an outgoing grump of a bar owner.

This is the first book in the Silver in the City series. Each book focuses on a different couple.

Silver in the City

I love this entire series and I'm so glad to hear it in audio. There were parts I liked better in print and parts I liked better in audio.

What an amazing book

I've enjoyed books by A. D. Ellis in the past and this was no different. She is an amazing author. Silver and Sage is a wonderful. slow burn romance with an age gap theme. I absolutely loved Brody and Sage.

The Narrator, Michael Stone, was fabulous in bringing this story to life. his ability to change voices for each character was wonderful.

I can't wait to listen to book two in this series.

Great

This was my first book by this narrator and I felt he did a great job. Definitely a distinction between characters which is good because there are a lot.

This is one great book. As I read it I had to message the author telling her how much I was loving it

Bode, Sage, Kyson and Benji sucked me right on in. These guys couldn’t have had a better friendship/ brotherhood than they did and to bring in Sage they way they did was awesome

Bode. He cracks me up with how grumpy he is. Probably because I am a lot like him. Man he tried to fight his attraction tooth and nail to Sage until he just couldn’t anymore.

Sage. He is so sweet, smart, and not treated very good by family and people his age ( see how I’m leaving friends out).

These two together showed how perfectly opposites can attract and how love can come from
A beautiful friendship.

loved the ebook, love the audio too

I enjoyed the listen here. I read the book on Kindle, but was excited for the audible book. I liked that the narrator changed up the intonation with the book character.
still a pretty great book

A Bar Owner and a Nerd

This is a slow burn with strong circle of Characters. Bode and Sage are both drawn towards each other until their excuses to stay apart no longer work.

I really enjoyed this book. I am looking forward to Book 2

Great Start to a New Series

Silver & Sage is a great start to a new series. I really enjoyed this opposites attract romance!

Loved it!

This was such a good book and start of a new series. Sage is absolutely adorable and Bode is all hot grumpiness. I was anxious for them to get together, but the slow burn allowed them to develop a strong friendship making their bond even stronger. The narration was very good. Definitely recommend this one!

Pleasant Age-Gap Romance But Narration Fell Flat

This mildly slow-burn romance was pleasant enough, and checks off several popular tropes...opposites-attract, age gap, virgin MC, growly/protective MC, and some family drama with a found family aspect.

Gruff/grumpy Bode (34), with his twin brother and cousin (their last name is Silver, hence the title/series name), opens a new bar and takes on a new employee/roommate - the sweet, shy, and unassuming Sage (24). Despite all of Bode's angst (though this isn't an angsty book) about being too old and an otherwise terrible match for Sage, they can't fight their feelings and attraction and fall in love anyway.

I'd be remiss not to mention the super awkward conversation (not between characters, but for me as a reader/listener) where Bode explains how he, his brother and cousin (the MCs of the next two books) gained "experience" growing up by getting handsy and mouthy with each other as teenagers. It's all treated very casually and matter-of-fact, but my head was spinning like the exorcist...like, that particular trope has its own space (no judgement) and wedging it into a casual "getting to know you conversation" between MCs out of the blue was a definite "Whaaaaat did he just say?!" moment.

I wasn't really a fan of the narration here. Narrator Michael Stone provided distinct voices for Bode and Sage, but to my ears his delivery sounded pretty flat overall, if not monotone. It wasn't inherently bad, I just need/expect more dynamic performances in audio books. [Story: 3.5 Stars]

Great Start

This is a great start to the series I really loved the whole cast of characters. The family aspect fit so well into the romance I love stories that incorporate more than just the MCs. It's a fairly quick listen and Stone does a fantastic job with the narration. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with Benji and Kyson.

Bode and Sage

Silver & Sage is book 1 in the Silver in the City series. This is an enjoyable, slow burn, opposites attract, age gap book about Bode, his brother and their cousin, and Sage. For some reason Bode isn't excited to have Sage move in with them even though he was the best candidate. Bode is trying to get the bar up and running and doesn't need a distraction like innocent much younger Sage. I really enjoyed Bode and Sage together. It was nice to watch Bode soften up around Sage and their relationship develope into something beautiful.
Narrator Michael Stone does a fabulous job.
