Gratification in Gluttony

Passing Through Cafe, Book 2

De: Nik Knight

Narrado por: Michael Lesley

When Jude entered The Passing Through Cafe, Toni thought he'd be nothing more than a fun night, a challenge to win, a fixation to satisfy; Toni didn't expect Jude to be exactly what he never knew he was looking for.

As the rightful heir to the Maryno family dynasty, Toni grew up with clear expectations of who he was supposed to be, and more importantly, who he wasn't. Growing up a constant disappointment isn't a childhood experience he recommends, but he's come a long way from the little boy who could never measure up to his family's toxic standards. At twenty-nine, he's finally proud of the man he's built himself into, and while the routine of his life is simple and, sure, sometimes lonely, he's content.

Or so he thought.

Enter Jude, a human from across the veil, who ignites something in him that he's never allowed himself to explore, and Toni can't wait to burn. While the spark of attraction is instantaneous, he knows it's going to take more than a romp in the hay to win the human over. So Toni quickly sets to work, proving to Jude that home can be found in the most unexpected places, that chosen family is always worth fighting for, and that their love is far from small.

Join Toni and the rest of the eccentric staff of The Passing Through Cafe in Nik Knight's rom-com urban fantasy series, full of found family, hilarious hijinks, spectacular self-discovery, and love that defies definition.

Funny and sweet

I'm enjoying this series so much!! I'm listening to these books and they make me laugh out loud. The narrator does a great job of giving all these characters their own sound and attitude and i love it!!! Tony & Jude are two boys that haven't had an easy upbringing but they accept each other and its so beautiful. They are so lucky to have this found family at the Cafe because they are wonderful!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely love!!!

This is such a HILLARIOUS and fantastic listing experience. I loved this story so much and this narrator made it extra special.

So good!

I loved, loved Tony and Jude’s romance. Surprised I liked this book even more than the first story, since I liked Leel and Oliver so much. A good amount of spice and love, both in this one. Such an enjoyable group to keep reading about.

Different Perspectives

This one was a bit heavier than the first of the series, but there’s still great humor in it. It’s essentially the same timeline, but from different peoples perspectives, which I found really interesting and engaging. Can’t wait for a third with the next foreshadowed couple! P.S. There’s a ‘Friends’ reference that had me cackling and I hope you find it.

hot and romantic

I knew Toni was gonna bring the heat, but damn! I love that despite his insecurities, Jude is a sarcastic ass. Fanastoc pairing. This series is more in the 'cozy' realm so there are a lot of scenes that are just silly dialogues or goofy shenanigans between characters, but if you read the first book and loved the found family and its dysfunction, you will enjoy this a lot!
