Resumen del Editor

The stories in the Porthkennack universe can be enjoyed in any order—jump in wherever you'd like!

South London mechanic Devan Thompson has gone to Porthkennack to track down someone he’s been waiting all his life to know. But Dev’s distracted from his quest by Kyle, a broodingly handsome local of only a few months who’s already got a reputation as an alcoholic because of his strange behavior—including a habit of collapsing in the street.

Kyle Anthony fled to Porthkennack to escape from the ruins of his life. Still raging against his diagnosis of narcolepsy—a condition that’s cost him his job as a barrister, his lover, and all chance of normality—the last thing he wants is another relationship that’s doomed to fail. But Dev’s easygoing acceptance and adaptability, not to mention his good looks, have Kyle breaking all his self-imposed rules.

When disaster strikes Dev’s adored little sister, Kyle steps up to the plate, and Dev sees a side of his lover he wasn’t prepared for: competent, professional—and way out of Dev’s league. With one man determined that they don’t have a future and the other fearing it, life after Porthkennack is starting to look bleak for both of them.

Really great audio presentation

I loved the richness and cadence of Steve Jones’ performance. He got Dev just right. Love this book so much will be reading more books by JL Merrow. Also interested in the rest of the Porthkennack series.

Writer and Narrator Paired Perfectly

I thoroughly enjoyed this book which was heartwarming, funny, and informative. Can’t imagine a better narrator for this story.

Awesome very English

What a great story combined with awesome narration. I really enjoyed everything about this book. It took me 2-3 chapters before I heard fluent English and understood. It is so totally worth the money/credit. You won’t regret it.

Its a good story but

As an American the accurate accents and speaking cadence by the narrator was way to fast for me to keep up with. I had to slow it down to 0.8 !

I found the story interesting and was all in - until the 7th time Dev lost his temper, stormed out and came back to apologize. I understand that its a character development for him but I just had enough. I started skipping towards the end. I actually dont feel like I missed much . Otherwise it's pretty good
