The Foxxxy Gentlemen's Club: Luca

A Foxxxy Prequel Novella

De: Nikole Knight

Narrado por: John York

Foxxxy Golden Rule: Foxxxy is family.

When Luca’s life in Boston falls apart, he must leave behind his home, his job, and his chosen family—the feisty dancers of the Foxxxy Gentlemen’s Club. But his trip takes an unexpected turn when a blizzard careens him off the road and into the home of David, a Canadian silver fox who is every one of Luca’s lumberjack fantasies come to life.

It’s been three years since David’s divorce, and while he’s content with his remote rural life, he feels there’s something missing. He doesn’t know what that something is until a captivating young dancer crashes his car outside his cabin in the middle of a snowstorm and reminds David that there is more to life than simply existing.

Neither Luca nor David planned for this detour, but they only have to survive two days together in close quarters. How hard could it be? It’s not like 48 hours is long enough to fall in love. Or is it?

Discover how Luca and his sexy Canuck, David, met in this prequel novella to the Foxxxy series.

A Delightful Cozy Canadian Cabin Romance

I had so thoroughly enjoyed this e-book (review below), I knew hearing it in audio would be just as entertaining. Narrator John York has a pleasant voice, and delivered a solid performance here. I appreciated how he slipped in some Canadian pronunciations for David, though it didn't seem entirely consistent.

Having read the first two Foxxxy Gentlemen's Club books, where we've gotten peeks at the HEA for former Foxxxy dancer Luca and his lumberjack silver fox beau David, I've been curious about their story. Add to that the forced proximity (a favorite trope) at play here, and it made for a wonderfully entertaining read.

Luca (27) and David (43) are kind and very likeable MCs who have instant chemistry and good senses of humor, and their cozy cabin in the snowy Canadian wilderness romance was super sweet and playful.

And surprisingly funny...I was snort-laughing by the third paragraph with Luca's G00gle Maps adventure (been there!), and Luca's many naughty thoughts about his gracious, sexy host were delightful. All told, their love story was a great mood booster that had me smiling throughout.

If you're new to this series, this prequel novella is a great place to start since it actually does relate to the other books. It's been a great series so far, and I'm looking forward to more HEAs for the Foxxxy Boys (I'm lookin' at you, Pie!). I received free review copies of this audio book and e-book (also read in KU) and have left this honest review voluntarily.

Luca

Luca was a fun character I enjoyed his and his lumberjacks story I kinda wish there had been a bit more about the club in this one but I still enjoyed getting to know them both and the cabin setting and accents I liked Lucas friendship with his coworkers and am excited to read more from this series

Short, Sweet, and Snowed In

Cute and sweet with well developed and likable characters. Lovely addition to the series. Perfectly narrated. Highly recommend!

A Delightfully Heartfelt Foxxxy Story & Listen🎧

I absolutely loved the first book in this series “The Foxxxy Gentleman’s Club: Christian” and I was so happy to hear another book from the series is available on audio too. Nikole Knight created something special with this series, the characters are amazing and so is the camaraderie amongst the Foxxxy family. This book is Luca and David’s story and shows how they met and became a couple. After a breakup with his boyfriend of five years, Luca was broke and without a place to life, so he left Boston and his Foxxxy family behind and headed back home to Michigan, except his GPS had other plans for him, taking him to Canada and in the middle of nowhere and to make matters worse he gets caught in a snowstorm and skids off the road avoiding something in the road. David live a quiet life away from the world, he likes it where he is but feels like something is missing and when he rescues the young man from his car that landed in a snowbank, he knows exactly what he was missing, him. Luca was happy to be rescued and his rescuer was not only easy on the eyes but kind and caring, too. The chemistry between them is undeniable and stranded with nowhere to go, they could only deny each other for so long. I loved how everything played out in this book, the story is wonderfully plotted with the perfect balance of drama, heartfelt emotions and a charming and steamy romance. Nikole Knight, thank you for another entertaining story and emotional rollercoaster ride. I am loving these foxxxy dancers!

🎧📚🎧And for the wonderful narration, John York continues to do an amazing job bringing these characters and their story to life. He has a complete understanding of the characters he is portraying, gives each a voice that suited that character’s persona to the tee sounding believable and just as I pictured the characters to sound. You could hear how much heart he put into his work as he captured all the characters’ emotions and projected them into his performance. John York is an entertaining storyteller and a versatile voice artist, his narration enhances this amazing story another level. Thank you for another fabulous listen.

Cute Story, Good Narration

Sweet and entertaining this was a short story about close proximity, age gap and meet cute in a blizzard. Luca was funny and flirty, David was solid and capable, they were a great couple, I enjoyed following their feelings grow from first attraction to HEA. Narrator did a great job with all the voices and story. This story can be enjoyed as a standalone, but I think listening to Christian's book increased my enjoyment.

Short and s*xy

This is a shorter listen and it is hawt! Being stranded does wonders for some people. This is an age gap listen that is done very well. I would recommend this one!

Cute & Sweet

This is a cute and sweet short story of Luca and David who are trapped in a snowstorm together. Although a short story it isn't rushed and you can really feel the connection between David and Luca as they get to know one another. David is the perfect silver fox for Luca. The narrator did a good job with the story and all of the characters. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. I voluntarily reviewed a gifted copy of this audio book.

Very Enjoyable

I really enjoyed this book. Luca finds himself stuck in the snow after having a car accident as he leaves his life behind. David sees this and rushes out to help. This is just a fun book. Though there is a definite age gap Luca can't help but have dreamy fantasies about his rescuer especially with them being stuck in David's cabin until the roads clear. I enjoyed Luca and David together. I this a great way to start this series but this book can be enjoyed on it's own as well.
Narrator John York does an amazing job. I loved how he did David's voice and really brought out him being Canadian. Well done.

A Charming Canadian-Cabin, Snowed-In Love Story

Nikole Knight, using the tried-and-true trope of stranded-in-a-Canadian-cabin, tellss the delightful insta-love story of Luca and David. A series prequel, the book is somewhat short. It makes up for its brevity with an adorable meet-cute, two guys not expecting a blizzard to deliver ‘THE ONE’, a couple of steamy scenes, some pure-gold rom-com action, and barely-there angst. It’s an all-around gem of a light romantic story.

I’ve already listened to John York in Book 1 of this series. He’s just as terrific here as with Christian’s story. Distinctive voices and well-acted personalities make the story shine.

I requested an ARC of this audiobook and agreed to submit an unbiased opinion of it.

Recommended.

loved luca and david!!

Luca is well written with that perfect pacing that ends so smoothy you finished before you realize it. We’ve had hints at Luca in the previous stories in this story and I couldn't wait to get his story. Luca and David have fantastic chemistry!! I loved their beginning. Sassy Luca crashed his car and is stranded. He meets David who is somewhat a recluse. Their story had my favorite troupes, age-gap, forced proximity and size difference not to mention the sassiness of Luca. My only wish that it was longer!! John York does such an amazing narration to the story, well done!! Overall, a fantastic and fun listen!!
