Flaunt

F-Word, Book 1

De: E. Davies

Narrado por: Joel Leslie

“He's waiting for me to ask, and I'm afraid.”

“I'm just one more gay guy here.”

Moving to the suburbs of L.A. was supposed to give Nic Montero a fresh start. After escaping his family, coming out as a gay trans man, and excelling in computer programming out of desperation to get financially stable or die, everything should be easy. But joining gay culture now, post-transition, feels impossible...until he runs into the force of nature that is Kyle. Everything Nic isn't, Kyle embodies. Green hair, garters and cut-off shorts, sports jerseys, and all, brash Kyle is the most gorgeous man he's ever laid eyes on, and he pulls Nic headlong into the center of his world. If only Nic felt like enough for a man like Kyle.

“One-night stands are my only option.”

Loud, loving, and too much for most men to handle, Kyle Everett catches eyes and occasionally scorn...even at his job at the local HIV charity, Plus. His days and nights are spent at work, his precious spare moments spent with his son, Kevin, when it's his turn to co-parent, or his best friend, drag queen River. He only has money or time for cheap flings, but the lanky otter who walks into his life makes Kyle want to hold him for longer than a night. He knows what it's like for Nic to be without a family, but he isn't brave enough to let this man into his life...until his charity is targeted by bigots, and Nic's there for him.

“I'll stay with you if you're brave enough to be you.”

Nic spent his 20s avoiding family and even his own femininity, but his yearning is impossible to ignore. Kyle's used to flying solo, but Nic offers him safety and fills gaps in his life he never realized existed and now can't stand. Living in close proximity, they can't run from their attraction, but they're each used to being rejected, with the emotional scars to prove it. Can two men who feel like they're not enough and too much find something just right?

Beautiful story!

I am a huge fan of E Davies and the stories that he tells! Kyle and Nic are probably some of my favorite characters of his. Their story is sweet and enlightening. Even though these two "hook up" early on in the book, their relationship builds up to being a dedicated and loving one. The understanding that each of these men show for one another is heartwarming in a way that is hard to describe. Kyle has "issues" from his own description and once he gets to know Nic better he realizes that his fears and walls are not needed. Nic has his own past to deal with as well as being a trans gay man so he doesn't want to give more before Kyle is ready as well. Once these two decide that being with each other is what they both need and want then they begin the building process. The many aspects of this story were so well done, from the many things these men face in just trying to be who they are, Kyle's son, and the problems with the charity where Kyle works. I can't wait to hear the rest of this series and learn the stories of all the other characters from this one. I was impressed at how the secondary characters are introduced but don't over ride the main story, it was just enough to leave someone more than ready for the next installment. Joel Leslie does an absolutely amazing job with the narration in this story. He takes this story to a new level.

Nick and Kyle are wonderful! E.Davies does it again!

I love this book in both audio and written formats! Joel Leslie’s narration is top notch (as always)! He brings the characters to life in amazingly unexpected ways. Amazing writing, awesome narration, totally worthy of 5 stars!!!

Absolutely Beautiful

This is my first transgender book and I couldn't be happier with being introduced to this beautiful couple in E. Davies words. I can completely understand why this book has won awards. I love the emotions and story line. I love the acceptance that is portrayed. Such a beautiful story I absolutely adored. Then add in the narration by the incomparable Joel Leslie and my heart just melts. This is a definite re-listen in my book!
