Length: 6 hrs and 44 mins

Publisher's summary

They say love comes from the most unexpected places. I found mine hiding in my bushes from the cops.

My life before Luke was a carefully structured routine. It was predictable and organized, just the way I like it. Some would call it boring, but I call it smart self-preservation. If there’s one thing that could threaten to bring it all crashing down, it’s Luke van Beek.

He swept into my world like a tropical cyclone, all hot and chaotic, and tore down my safeguards. Now I can’t seem to rid myself of this charming, larger-than-life, ridiculous man. He’s invaded my personal space, my mind, and my bed.

He’s tempting me in ways I haven’t been tempted before and I’m going to have to teach him a lesson about what happens to naughty boys when they misbehave.

But can my last remaining boundary, the wall I’ve built around my heart, withstand the man who lives to break all the rules? Either way, it seems, my life after Luke will never be the same.

Luke is a funny and steamy M/M romance that features a transgender main character and a grumpy/sunshine trope.

Love this series so much

Every book can be read as a stand-alone but the stories and narration are so good you’ll want to listen to them all in order! 💖🔥

Love this book!

I love the entire series, but this book is such a rare find. It has snark and steam and gooey feelings, but it also touches on the fears and insecurities of a trans man and the bigotry he experiences even from the LGBTQ+ community. And the steamy scenes are super hot 🔥

another hot book

I absolutely love this series. though the whole show up and stay when at first is all rejection is getting old.

Too Rushed.

The stories in this series seem to be shorter, and too rushed as they progress into the next book. Still not a fan of Alexander’s take on his performances of each character. He makes them sound like jokes. Just too chaotic. Gives me a headache.

🫶

I really like this book. I have read it a few times and the narrators did a good job at portraying the characters.

Beautiful story of letting go of the past

Narration was perfect!! Love all Cora’s books. The perfect amount of angst and spice! Luke is amazingly calm and levelheaded! So in love with this book!

Giggled out loud a few times 😂

I loved Luke and Elliott's story! I know trans is still a lot for some to fully and truly understand, and I think the author did an amazing job with both the physical and mental aspects throughout the story.
Love IS Love, but you must start with yourself so I enjoyed reading Elliott's full acceptance and love for who he is in and out.
And having a big loveable goof like Luke barging into his life ended up being exactly what he never knew he needed.

My comfort series

Every single book in this series has felt like a hug. I love each couple’s journey together to finding love within one another.

LOVE this series!

Luke // Unexpected 4 // Cora Rose

Cora Rose continues this fabulous opposites attract series with Luke. Luke is a chaotic, study Van Beek with just the right amount of crazy. He finds his obsession in Elliot, a stern, dominant, and guarded Doctor. Once Elliot acquires Luke, he can’t get rid of him, a Van Beek family trait 😜. While Luke and Elliot bring you the chaos, shminky steam, and obsessed vibes you expect from a CR book they also bring you compassionately written trans rep and self acceptance. Cannot recommend this book or series enough. Cora Rose just does not miss, y’all.

Love this series

So, the great thing about this series, is that once you’ve met one character, you meet them again as friends, spouses, sisters and cousins in this evolving ensemble of kooky, caring, accepting and uniquely divergent cast of characters. I will definitely drop back in on all of them when done. But, I won’t knock or call ahead. I’ll just show up because that’s how these people roll. Ya gotta love them…each and every one.
