Wisdom Check

Dungeons and Dating, Book 2

De: Katherine McIntyre

Narrado por: Zachary Zaba

Julian’s boss is newly single, ridiculously hot, and looking his way. He’s so screwed.

Cal Morgan’s life was going right on plan—got the wife, the baby, and the board game café he opened with his best friends. At least until his wife dropped the dreaded "d" word. Newly divorced and juggling custody of their toddler with his ex, Cal’s dreams of a family are burnt to ash.

Julian Hale’s been carrying a torch for his sexy boss, Cal, for far too long. As the oldest of five and surrogate mom to his siblings, Julian gets tugged in so many directions that he’s never made time for himself—his wants, his desires—and he definitely desires this man.

However, when Cal starts turning those scorching stares Julian’s way, he can’t resist, even though he should. They’re boss and employee, and Cal’s fresh out of a divorce with a two-year-old—it’s a recipe for disaster even if they’re both falling fast. But when Julian’s application to nursing school gets accepted, he’ll have to choose between pursuing the dreams he set aside when his mom died or the one man he could imagine a future with. Life taught him early on that he’ll never get both.

Sweet story

I enjoyed seeing the friend group continue to expand and become more detailed. The romance was believable and engaging, the challenges they faced felt a little dramatic but generally realistic and it wasn’t just a typical communication oversight.

Narrative did absolutely nothing for me

The storyline was incredibly fantastic! With just the right amount of turmoil yet the exact amount of chaos mixed with drama from a toddler, Julian and Cal were great, too. How Cal handled the situation with Julian, followed by Sarah, bravo 👏🏽

The narrator was not for me, I’ve heard a few of his narrations previously and his voice still makes me cringe. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not entirely the sound but more so the drawing out of the sentence endings.

💚💚💚

Divorced and doing weekly custody trade offs with his frosty ex-wife is not how Cal envisioned his life going, and he most definitely did not expect to find himself attracted to his employee and friend, Julian.

Things shift between them when Julian, who has been a surrogate parent to his younger siblings for the last decade, offers to help watch Cal’s daughter when his boss is in a pinch, knowing how worn thin the man is.

The tension snaps between them and the pair fall head first into a hot and steamy relationship despite all the hurdles in their path, but theses two are definitely better together and make it work no matter what gets thrown their way. (Big FU to Sara btw lol)

Wisdom Check was a quick and steamy read, and I really loved the chemistry and dynamic between Cal and Julian. Also sweet Kaylee was so cute, and I wanted to squish her 😍

Made family

okay I absolutely love this one. I've read the books I read the books came out and I knew I loved the books. I thought this narrator did a fantastic job with this book I enjoyed there personality that they put into each character and I absolutely love the voice they did for Cal. I highly recommend this series.

Jules & Cal

This is an entertaining hurt/comfort story that has the right amount of sweet mixed with heat. I enjoyed reading it as well as listening to Zachary Zaba's great narration.

I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion
