Electric Sunshine

Brooklyn Boys, Book 1

De: E. Davies

Narrado por: Nick J. Russo

Charlie:

They say time heals all wounds, but it's been five years since my boyfriend died, and I haven't dated since. I threw myself into architecture, and thankfully, there's just no time to wallow or look for love. My friends push me to get back out there, but I'm not ready to be vulnerable again.

Then I meet Kev. He dresses like a catalog model, but he talks like he's got an old soul. He shows me what I'm missing but holds his own heart just out of reach. I can't stop falling for him, and he might be worth taking a risk for. Can I believe in myself enough to win his trust and his heart?

Kev:

My parents kicked me out for being gay when I was only 16. You grow up fast when that happens. You do things you regret just to stay alive. All that's behind me now. I'm 23, moved to Brooklyn, have an annoying roommate, and all I have to do is stay safe and pay the rent.

Sounds easy? Yeah, my options are closing in fast. I don't want to stand on street corners again, but everyone in this city just wants to fix their own loneliness, not mine. And then there's Charlie, who sees the best in me when others only see their own reflection. Can we bare our hearts to each other and build a future together?

Electric Sunshine is audiobook one in the Brooklyn Boys series, where good men find their happily ever afters in a hectic metropolis. It has an HEA and no cliff-hanger. There will be naughty bits doing naughty things, grumpy roomies, opposites attracting, retail hell, hangover specials, and cracked hearts made better than new.

Electric is right

E. Davies is one of my favorite authors and Nick Russo is definitely climbing the ranks of my favorite narrators.

In this story, we have Kev and Charlie, one who is just trying to not fall back on his past choices and another that is alone after losing his love. As the two circle each other and give into their chemistry, there is still the sweetness that I adore from this author. With Brooklyn and NYC as the backdrop to the story, you have so many images in mind that you simply have to keep listening to find out what happens.

Kev and Charlie

Electric Sunshine is book 1 in the Brooklyn Boys series. This is a heart warming story about Kev, a young man trying to find his way in New York after being kicked out, and Charlie, an architect trying to find his way in New York alone after his boyfriend dies. There initial meeting started out as a business transaction but ended up being so much more. I really enjoyed following these two as they discover love and trust in and for each other. Definitely recommend
Narrator Nick J. Russo does a fabulous job.

Love is Vulnerable

“Love is Vulnerable.” A perfect summary of this story! Charlie is an architect in New York. Charlie’s boyfriend passed away 5 years ago and he hasn’t had a relationship since. Kev was kicked out of his home at the age of 16. After moving to New York, he found a way to make ends meet, including trolling Grindr & local gay clubs to find men. The two meet and Charlie ends up paying Kev for his companionship. What Charlie doesn’t expect is to start to develop feelings for Kev.
This book is one that is out of my norm as I generally do not enjoy stories with “rent boys”. However, due to the way that Kev was written, a man who is just trying to stay safe and make his rent, I was able to look past that. I enjoyed the storyline, and the development of feelings between Charlie and Kev. It was nice to see Charlie going through some stages of grief still 5 years later.
It will be nice to see where he goes with the series! Great job!

Absolutely excellent

It was awesome to get caught up with Kev and Adam. We first met them in Tremble, and they moved to NYC to start a new life. Kev is back to being an escort, but starts to question what he wants out of life after he meets Charlie. Charlie had a tough time getting back into relationship territory after his boyfriend died 5 years prior. He starts out wanting just to find a friend or someone to talk to, but he is intrigued and very interested in Kev the moment he sees him.

I liked this. The relationship between Kev and Charlie was great. I enjoyed watching them break out of their comfort zone and find happiness together. I also liked the side characters and relationships, especially Kev with his roommate Adam.

I've found that I'm becoming picky when listening to audiobooks. Some narrators are clearly better than others. Nick Russo was fabulous and was a great choice for this book. He had a great rhythm and voice, and I felt like he did a great interpretation of Kev and Charlie. I would definitely listen to the rest of this series, and I will listen to Nick Russo again in general.

Yet another fabulous book from E. Davies. I continue to adore everything he writes.
