A Different Light

Begin Again Series, Book 1

By: Morningstar Ashley

Narrated by: Sean Crisden

Bennett Cole had lived next door to Mitchell "Mac" Campbell, III for 18 years of his life, in the small town of White Acre. They'd never gotten along, never seen eye to eye, and never understood one another...not that they'd ever cared to try.

But when Bennett's so-called buddies ditched him at a party in the woods where he was assaulted and left for dead, Bennett pulled through. The emotional scars rendered him too terrified to go back to school and face his "friends" or his attackers. With little choice, his family packed up and left town.

Ten years later - at the request of his mother - Bennett returned to the place he'd grown up and the home he'd once felt safe to oversee the repairs before his childhood house was sold. The contractor? None other than Mac, the once annoying boy next door, who still lives there in the home his parents gifted him.

Being in such close proximity - working together every day to repair the Coles' family home - Bennett and Mac's contentious relationship goes from bad to worse as their personalities continue to clash. But their heated exchanges may not be as antagonistic as they seem. And when new information is revealed, can the men begin to see each other in a different light?

Contains mature themes.

Beautiful Perception

It truly shows how each individual has their own perspective on events and persons that transpires through life.

Sweet and cheesy

Nice, sweet and super cheesy mm romance. Small town. Enemies to lovers. Blue collar bad guy with tattoos riding motorbike vs smart nerd. Great audio book

Sweet HEA

This was an unknown Author to me, at the time I listened to the Audiobook. I love Sean Chrisden as a narrator so that was the extra push I need to download the book. This was a sweet story. Not too much angst, not too much spice; in all honesty everything was just right. It wasn’t underwhelming and it wasn’t overly the top. It was a good Sunday afternoon listen and I will definitely be checking out other books by this Author.

Interesting Characters

I loved not just the main characters, but the supporting characters also. It really highlighted how our perceptions can change and be wrong even with the best of intentions.

Good fun tale

Good character development, fun erotic scenes. Interesting beginning to story, covering several years to bring listener into the present. Love Sean's voice and tone changes for characters. He's a really sexy Mac.

Too long

Could’ve been condensed I think. I fell asleep a few times and felt like I didn’t miss anything. B is pretty whiny and the emotional growth between the main characters didn’t feel as genuine as I would’ve liked.

Nothing really

Excellent story. Enjoyed it. Although I cringe hearing effeminate men like Jaden. Otherwise great story

just wondering

I am a sucker for love. this is one of those books that just warms your heart.

I most predictable book EVER

I will admit I am a book snob. I have become that way after listen to books all day at work.... I have 8 hours to kill so some days I listen to an entire book. this book left me drifting and having to force myself to stay the course. nothing amazing happened, no wow seriously, I mean I would have never stayed for a relationship that has pg sex, no passionate, no kink, heck Max was the good well behaved good mannered kid the Mayor wanted to have. he could have been the child of southern baptists.

sweet story

devoured this book in a day, very sweet, rooted for B & Mac the whole way
