Eyes Only for Me

By: Andrew Grey

Narrated by: Tristan James

For years, Clayton Potter's been friends and workout partners with Ronnie. Though Clay is attracted, he's never come on to Ronnie because, let's face it, Ronnie only dates women.

When Clay's father suffers a heart attack, Ronnie, having recently lost his dad, springs into action, driving Clay to the hospital over 100 miles away. To stay close to Clay's father, the men share a hotel room near the hospital, but after an emotional day, one thing leads to another, and straight-as-an-arrow Ronnie makes a proposal that knocks Clay's socks off! Just a little something to take the edge off.

Clay responds in a way he's never considered. After an amazing night together, Clay expects Ronnie to ignore what happened between them and go back to his old life. Ronnie surprises him and seems interested in additional exploration. Though they're friends, Clay suddenly finds it hard to accept the new Ronnie and suspects that Ronnie will return to his old ways. Maybe they both have a thing or two to learn.

An Okay Story

This was a complete Gay For You book, but it was really sweet at the same time. Normally I'm not a big fan of GFY stories, but this one worked as Ronnie tried to figure out what he felt, not just Clayton, but in general.

I did have a hard time with how easily Ronnie seemed to give in to Clayton time after time and then only to say he wasn't sure what he wanted later.

However, I did enjoy the story and the struggles of the couple as they tried to still be friends and not lose that even though there was sexual tension there.

The narrator did an okay job. I found there to be strange breathing breaks at times which was distracting, but overall I think he added to the story as a whole.

I received a free copy of this book to read for Inked Rainbow Reads in exchange for an honest review.

Bad Narrator!

The story line was ok, but the narration left a lot to disire! Some times the tone he used was misplaced!

This book is a little different than usual.

I'm not the type to read a book just because I like one or every book by the author previously; I choose each book by their individual summary and sometimes add previous reviewers into the mix with a grain of salt. This book isn't the first one by Grey that I've read/listened to and found that I'll probably be reading/listening to it again, but it definitely has a different set up than usual.

I won't go into detail but I will say that the main characters were enjoyable to read about and even though one was a complete playboy weren't superficial at all. There weren't any strings left dangling so to speak and no ex trying to walk back in to get things moving. If you pick and choose or if you're tired of the same stuff from the author I think Grey listened and went down the road less traveled. Tristan James is stepping it up too with more diverse voices than I've heard from him before.

Good story, not fond of the narrator

What did you like best about Eyes Only for Me? What did you like least?

I like GFY stories, and this one was well done. It wasn't a complete 180; more of a realization of something that was there all along, but easily ignored.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

The narrator had really weird intonation a lot of times. A lot of lines were delivered like a cheesy 80s porn movie.

Finally! An Andrew Grey Surprise!

I don't listen/read Andrew Grey books... ever... they are all the same hum-drum format... so I stopped a long time ago... However... Tristan James narration.... well heck... I will listen to anything this man narrate!!! SOOOOOO GLAD I DID!!!!

I came for the narration, stayed for the absolutely wonderful story!! I don't know if this is a newer Grey publishing, but dang... this was just so good! The way the two main characters circled around each other was great... They were best friends, then lovers, then enemies, then friends, then lovers again!! Awesome...

Ronnie was the best character ever... He takes meds for his "head" issues...guys has got some serious OCD... a little bit of ADHD as well... but for Grey to write this character so well, and make him seem so normal... just threw me for a loop... I loved it!!! Kudo to Grey for finally writing something that kept my attention the entire time...

I honestly think it was James narration... It was simply brilliant... I always love James narration... hands down one of the best male narrators for this m/m genre out there...!!

Great buy, sale or credit... just get this book... you won't be disappointed...!!
