The Espresso Affair

By: Damon Gonzalez

Narrated by: Christmas Jones

New York City. 2012. Two espressos. One SoHo ad agency. And an attraction neither of them saw coming .

Alex is a seasoned copywriter who has stopped believing in complications. Jake is the agency's new HR director — charming, unavailable, and impossible to ignore. What starts as tension becomes lunches, espressos at 4 o'clock, and something neither man can name or walk away from. The only problem: Jake isn't single.

A slow-burn gay romance set against the heat and heartbreak of New York City. The Espresso Affair is part of the Cinnamon transmedia universe, accompanied by the EP Cinnamon After Dark — available everywhere you stream music.

A Captivating Story Made Even Better by the Narration

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. The story itself pulled me in, but what stood out to me most was the narration. The intensity, emotion, and personality in the narrator’s voice really brought the characters and scenes to life and made it easy to stay engaged.

There’s something about listening to a talented narrator that can completely change the experience of a book, and that was definitely the case here. The delivery felt natural and expressive, and the emotional moments had the impact they were supposed to have without feeling forced.

I’ve listened to plenty of audiobooks, but this one reminded me how much the narrator can contribute to the overall experience. The voice, pacing, and emotion made the story feel much more immersive.

Definitely worth listening to, and I’m looking forward to hearing what comes next from this narrator.
