Better Than Good

Narrado por: Tyler Stevens

*A Better Than Story*

Matt Sullivan understands labels: law student, athlete, heterosexual. He has goals: graduate and begin his career in law. One fateful night, Matt tags along with his gay roommate to a dance club and everything changes. Matt finds himself attracted to the most beautiful man he's ever seen. All labels go flying out the window.

Aaron Mendez doesn't believe in labels, and he's leery of straight curious men. He makes it clear that he'll hide his fabulous light for no one. While Aaron can't deny the attraction between him and Matt, he is reluctant to start anything with someone who is still dealing with what this new label means--especially when that someone has a girlfriend.

Adorable GFY romance

This is a really well written GFY jock wants flamboyant proud gay man story. Nice listen b/c the narrator does an excellent job. But the story is cute but really nothing special. Other than the usual angst that accompanies a straight guy who discovers he is bi, no other conflict. Worth a credit if you want a comfort read.

Dear Lane

I love tour novels! I am so moved by your words! You have the best names for your characters and you Develop them so honestly! I will listen to all of your books with great anticipation!

lovely novel

Would you consider the audio edition of Better Than Good to be better than the print version?

Once again I read any type of genre, but after the first Gay Novel Hot Head I thought I would try another and was not disappointed

Gay for you romance w/ surprisingly minimal angst

This is one of my favorite gay-for-you stories that I've read recently. Or actually, Matt is more bisexual, but he's only had one previous gay experience and we don't really have much interaction between him and his ex-girlfriend, so...
Anyway, I thought this was well written. I really liked both Aaron and Matt's personalities, though I can't help wishing I could've gotten Aaron's POV as well. Matt is your standard all American, former jock, pre-law student and Aaron is the older, femme-y, out-and-proud, makeup-wearing gay guy.
I liked that there wasn't any big drama with Matt's ex. No evil girlfriends here.
Sexual tension was good, and the Matt's big declaration scene was over-the-top sweet and romantic, but if you're expecting edge of your seat action, this won't be for you.
Tyler Stevens did a great job narrating the story. He used the right pace so it was easy to follow the story, there was a good variety between character voices so I could tell who was speaking without any difficulty.
All in all this was an enjoyable listening experience.

Great story, great performance!

Better Than Good is the first audiobook performed by Tyler Stevens that I've listened to and I loved it. I'm a relative new comer to Lane Hayes writing and have been slowly trying to catch up with her backlist. I wish I hadn't waited so long to read this one.

This book is a great out-for-you/coming out story. Matt has always considered himself straight but he can't fight the attraction he feels for a beautiful man he met in a gay nightclub. Aaron is out and proud and won't hide who he is for anyone. He's attracted to Matt but he's not interested in a straight guy who wants to experiment.

Wow, this story really has some powerful moments and Tyler Stevens voice really conveyed the emotions that Matt and Aaron were feeling. This is a fairly angsty story as Matt has to deal with his coming out as bisexual and Aaron isn't coping well with how long it's taking.

I really loved these characters. The writing is so good and left no doubt about how deeply Matt cares for Aaron while at the same time conveying the turmoil felt by both characters as they navigate their way to a happy ever after.
