Publisher's summary

Trey's story.

For the past six years at the University of Oregon, Trey has been completely focused on studying. With no time for relationships, he's had to rely on the occasional hookup to fulfill his physical need for companionship. Now that he's almost done with his master's degree in biology, his attention is on his career. Relationships will have to wait. Again.

Chuck is hitching his way across the country, doing what he must to survive while trying to stay off the radar of an abusive ex. He just wants to get to L.A. in one piece so he can start over. His job skills are limited, but anything will be better than what he's running from. Hiding is hard but Chuck isn't ready to be found.

No More Running

Chuck, a fugitive from a physically abusive relationship, runs away but meets up with a wonderful surpise when he finds himself in Portland, Oregon.

In Portland, Chuck finds friends, people who really care and want to help. He also meets his Mr. Right, in an adorable and sexy geek named Trey.

Sometimes when you run from a bad situation you run smack into something good. Aria Grace has done it again. Her characters are well developed and I don't necessarily mean physically either. Her books all have excellent plots and scenarios, not to mention the steamy love scenes.

good

good story, it just ended too soon, and the antagonist is dealt with so quickly I almost missed it, I had the same complaint with another book in this series "my name is luka" if the book would have been maybe another 2 hours long I could have had a more satisfying wrap up, but they deal with it like it's nothing, and the bad guys in the book are doing some serious stuff too, I don't know if I want to continue the series because of that even though the narrators are great the stories are great but it reminds me of a Disney special where they have a bad guy, but because the good guys team up and let's say dump a bucket of water on their head then we never hear or see from them again.

Love on the Run

The story of Trey and Chuck is so sweet.

Chuck is on the run from a psycho ex determined to see him dead and Trey is a geeky forensic scientist with serious relationship issues.

Trey appears in several of the other books but in this one we finally get a chance to know him. He is a bit jaded, callous almost but determined and committed to creating a good life for himself. He has no time for love and romance and having been on the receiving end of rejection has built up walls of protection that make him appear douchey at times.

But when he meets Chuck he tries and after a few mistakes that will have you screaming he finally manages to get it right and the feels you get by the end are worth the sometimes bumpy ride.

The narration is great and I go back and forth about which of the narrators of this series I like best but I guess that's a good problem to have.

A series with a lot of potential.

Aria Grace's "More Than Friends" series is heavy with potential but light on follow through. Characters are interesting but underdeveloped and storylines seem to fall short of where they could go. Often the last couple of chapters seem forced, resolving the story without support of action or dialogue. ... And they all went to the sea shore!

I am also tired of narrations of the Pacific Northwest and Portland were the narrator is ignorant of the correct pronunciation of local place names.

Good listen

Story was ok and of course I'm head over heels in love with Michael Ferraiuolo performance.

I love

What the ever loving hotness did I just listen to? I just. I feel like. I loved it when.

Omg. This one had a lot of excitement and action than the others, which I enjoyed. I love how Aria can create such an intense connection from me to the characters in no time at all. By the end of a 3 hr narration, I care more about the characters than other books 3x as long.

The narrator was fantastic. He doesn't have the strongest difference in tone or voice from one character to the next, but he still does a great job.

Finally Found

This one was ok. Definitely not my favorite in the series. Will "Chuck" is running across country to hide from and Ex. Trey (seen in previous books) meets Chuck when he comes into the Chinese food place looking for a job. this book has some suspense dealing with Chucks Ex and very little Romance between Trey and Chuck. They storyline romance between the two MC's just seemed a little rushed. Its like Chuck gets away from Ex. Meets Trey. They find a way to get rid of the Ex and then the story is just done. I really would have liked more story between Trey and Chuck in the middle, more of them being together as a couple, and maybe a little more Drama with the ex as well since there was a really quick fix on that problem. I do like how the Author keeps pulling in characters from previous books to help out the new characters, that keeps it interesting.
Audio - I'm glad Michael is back narrating this one. I actually enjoyed the narration A Lot more than the story for this one. He does a good job with the voices and keeping them all separate so you know who is talking.

Disappointing...

This series entry started out well, but I almost missed the one sentence resolution to Chuck’s problem. I have felt a few other of the stories in this series ended abruptly, and thus unsatisfying, but this one had me shaking my head. This author writes some awesome scenes of all types, but seems to lose interest in the endings.

The narrator does a good job, although male voices for other than the main two often sound too old, or mushy.

Amazing Series

Another awesome book in this More Than Friends series. I listened to an audio of this book and it truly comes alive. I'll be reading and listening to more from this author. This book is a m/m contemporary.

A good performance but terribly written story

I'll give the narrator credit. He isn't the best but he did pretty good. As for the story....don't bother. If this wasn't on my free trial of Escape I would of stopped and refunded.
