Family Unit

De: Z. A. Maxfield

Narrado por: JP Handler

A retired marine, Logan is methodical and conservative. Richard is a liberal pacifist who is pathologically afraid of guns. Yet the minute Logan sets eyes on Richard, his heart turns over like an old car engine, and it isn't long before his motor is revved and Richard is in the driver's seat - even if it seems like each man is driving a different car. Richard Hunter is parenting his grandson, and the kid - Nick - has had it rough. Richard vows nothing will stop him from creating a loving and stable home. Not even a tempting, red-hot relationship with a very attractive man.

However, when Richard looks into Logan's blue eyes, it's tough to stay focused. It's never easy to become a family, what with a temperamental eight-year-old, disapproving outsiders, and outright extortion attempts. But when push comes to shove, both Logan and Richard are committed family men who want to make a loving home for a little boy who needs them. Together, they're planning to form a Family Unit, and they won't let anything stand in their way.

The Creation of a Family Unit

This was a really touching book set back in 2009 before Don’t Ask Don’t Tell was repealed in 2012. Reading books like this, which are only 11 years old, really drive home how far contemporary society has come with equal rights.

Richard is a young grandfather (he’s only in his forties) raising his grandson and doing his best. Logan is a retired Marine who’s figuring out his life now that he’s no longer in the military. There’s a lot of obstacles and emotions throughout the book, as well as some steamy bedroom moments. I really enjoyed the plot and developing relationship between Richard and Logan.

The audiobook narration was not great due to poor sound quality. I think the narrator would have done great, if not for the tinny sound quality. It took me about an hour to get used to the sound quality before I was able to get used to it and enjoy the book.

hot dad bods

I love that this story had a slightly different spin on it that it was middle-aged guys that were still hot for each other

Pleasant surprise!

I wasn’t sure what to think when starting the book, audio was really terrible but you get used to it and the story is so cute it just takes you away.

Maxfield does it again!

I loved this book, just as I have loved pretty much all the books I've listened to by Z.A. Maxfield. The narration was a little annoying. It almost sounded like a bad recording, but I think it was just the reader's style of speech. It was worth sticking it out, though. I didn't want the story to end.

There was more action than expected

It was a feel good story. Alpha male & not so Alpha, but still both strong personality. The narrator was wonderful. I have listened to a lot of books by this author & I haven't been disappointed.😃
