Soft Launch

Hazardverse: Sidetracks

De: Gregory Ashe

Narrado por: Greg Tremblay

It’s soft until it’s hard.

Sam Yarmark is going to be a detective. He’s done everything right—the trainings, the homework, the performance evaluations. He’s even got a mentor. So, when the chief of police tells him his lack of community involvement might cost him the promotion, there’s only one thing to do: get involved. Fast.

Gray Dulac is putting his life back together. After a self-destructive spiral, he’s finally found solid ground in the nonprofit he founded to help victims of intimate-partner violence. The only problem? Funding. And when a consultant tells Gray that his bad boy reputation is keeping donors away, there’s only one thing to do: fix his image. Fast.

When Sam shows up at Gray’s nonprofit, looking for an opportunity to pad his resume, Gray sees a way they can help each other: Gray will make sure Sam gets the community endorsements he needs if Sam pretends to be Gray’s loving—and stable—boyfriend.

What could possibly go wrong?

OMG HE PLAYS STARDEW VALLEY

That is the funniest thing, right next to the part when Emery explains how the fake boyfriend plot works by mentioning John Henry’s lewd book collection

Lovely

"Oh no," I thought to myself. "I love these two dummies." It can be really scary when offered a guileless, earnest character written by this author since he's basically a sadist (respectfully) who wants his readers to hurt - but - this was so so sweet! It was like a soothing balm after the last book where we had to watch the other man self-destruct and as collateral nearly ruin the lives of people who loved him in the process. And then we get this - and it's basically a rom-com! Until, you know, it's stops being lovely and instead I want to vomit and I think "ah, right. Here it is. The reason I was so nervous"

The love story

I really loke this book i want them to solve murders together , and the Narrator top notch !
