The Mating of Michael

De: Eli Easton

Narrado por: Michael Stellman

Everyone admires Michael Lamont for being a nurse, but his part-time work as a gay sex surrogate not only raises eyebrows, it's cost him relationships. Michael is small, beautiful, and dedicated to working with people who need him. But what he really wants is a love of his own. He spends most of his time reading science fiction, especially books written by his favorite author and long-time crush, the mysteriously reclusive J.C. Guise.

James Gallway's life is slowly but inexorably sliding downhill. He wrote a best-selling science fiction novel at the tender age of 18, while bedridden with complications of polio. But by 28, he's lost his inspiration and his will to live. His sales from his J.C. Guise books have been in decline for years. Wheelchair bound, James has isolated himself, convinced he is unlovable. When he is forced to do a book signing and meets Michael Lamont, he can't believe a guy who looks like Michael could be interested in a man like him.

Michael and James are made for each other. But they must let go of stubbornness to see that life finds a way and love has no limitations.

Best gay charcter with disability

Any additional comments?

I felt the author accurately portrayed the double challenges of finding love while being gay and disabled. Very engaging story of romantic minefield we navigate and the challenges we struggle through. I felt the author captured our angst accurately in an enjoyable and inspirational story.

Such a great story

And such a great narrator. I love Eli, one of the first authors I read when I started to reD M/M

I didn't think I'd like it! BUT I DID!

Love most of Eli's writing - loved Second Harvest - loved Merry Christmas Mr. Miggles
(and frankly I thought that one would be ok and was again, pleasantly surprised). I had a hard time getting myself to turn this off. I like this narrator. He does a great job translating Eli's work. I enjoy characters who I believe could really exist. These two do just that - and Michael and James manage to suck you in with yet another story line I could believe. There isn't a bunch of silly dialogue - and I can just see these people in my head - Thanks Eli again for your great talent and bringing to life ordinary people. I have been gravitating to M/M romance for a while to change it up - I'm a Romance HEA freak. Thanks for your continued writing and bringing us the additional bonus of audible!

A lovely romance!

What a lovely story this turned out to be and Michael Stellman did such a wonderful job bringing Michael and James to life for me.

I fell so head-over-hills in love with Michael, from his caring personality to how he sees the world and those who are less fortunate than himself was so beautiful to me. I appreciated how Michael and James became friends first and I was just as excited for their first time as James was. Though there are some heartbreaking bumps in the road to their love story, I loved the HEA ending.

Lovely

I’ve listened to this one several times. I love the relationship between the characters and the empathy of Michael. I want to read James’s books too, though!
