Flirt: A Forever Wilde Short

By: Lucy Lennox

Narrated by: Michael Dean

Length: 3 hrs and 38 mins

Publisher's summary

Sassy-mouthed Stevie Devore has always had a crush on the local fire chief. Gorgeous, silver fox Evan Paige is way out of Stevie's league, however, not to mention the chief has always been a ladies' man, but when Stevie turns 21, he decides he's tired of only daydreaming about Evan. He wants a real taste of that sugar daddy, even if it means turning the flirt factor up a notch or 10 to make it happen. This story has pee-in-your-pants humor, peel-the-paint-off-the-walls steam, and a smidgie-poo of hand-on-chest swooning.

I'm not a big fan of novellas unless they are an addition to another book and sadly this one was not. This is Stevie's book and I know he got a novella cause he isn't a Wilde but I just can't get lost in the love story when I only have 2 hours and very little details. with that said, I still enjoyed this book, I just didn't feel it.

Michael Pauley is good.

Adorable!!

Stevie and Evan were adorable together!

I absolutely loved the chemistry between them.

This was a fun, cute age gap novella.

A quick bite sized listen.

Definitely recommend. Can be listened to as a standalone or part of the series

It was okay

A sassy virgin and a fire chief. It sure has the potential for some real fireworks. Stevie is the town flirt and is known for turning his charms on everything's that's alive. This time he has a target, the fire chief whom he's had his eyes on for a while now. Ad hopefully the Chief will introduce him to the wonders of sex and love making. Stevie and Evan's relationship didn't feel quite right to me. It felt off in some way. Not only that, they felt off, a bit too inconsistent for it to make sense.

This series have been a bit of a hit or miss for me lately, some of the shine has been dimmed, and this is true for this short story as well. It started off really good, it was fun, quirky and bouncy. There was some sass to it. But then... something happened and it all just faded into something lukewarm to fizzle out completely.

I've listen to and loved Lucy Lennox and Michael Pauley in the past, you know I have. But they just didn't work for me with Flirt. I couldn’t get into Pauley's narration and the story didn't hold my interest for very long. The sad part is that I know that they can, and have, created magical stories but this one just didn't hold up to the prior standard. Pauley wasn't as engaging as he usually is and just didn't bring the book to life.

A Life Without Stevie is no Life at All

Flirt is a short novella set in the Forever Wilde series. This is Stevie's story as nararated brilliantly by Michael Pauley.

Stevie is in love with the handsome silver fox, Evan Paige. Evan is the responsible, respected fire chief. Stevie has multiple jobs, including working at the bakery Sugar Britches. He is struggling to make ends meet, but is determined to find a way.

For a short story, Flirt is filled with characters we've met before, and situations that only Stevie could get into. Laughs and giggle-snorts are peppered throughout the story.

What we may not have expected is the serious side of Stevie, the family provider. Taking care of his mom and younger sister is the most important part of his life. Falling into a May/December romance was not on his To Do list, no matter how much he was drawn to the older man.

The book is filled with well thought out characters and situations that bring more fullness and heart to the small town of Hobie, Texas. While it is a shorter novella, it is not filled only with fluff and sugar. It is a true addition to the Forever Wilde series. It is not necessary to have read other Forever Wilde books to enjoy Flirt.

Stevie!

I love Stevie. He is such a vibrant character. He adds a lot of humor and sass to each story he's in. This book has Stevie getting his HEA with the man of his dreams. I like how Evan has noticed Stevie for years and finally does something about the attraction he feels. This is a fun book, and I definitely recommend it!!

Another satisfying m/m romance from Lucy Lennox

I am thoroughly enjoying the Forever Wilde series of m/m romance novels. Each story is sexy, sweet, a little salty and very satisfying. Michael Pauly is astounding once again. By far my favorite narrator. Excellent!

Wild!!!

Get started on a good series... you really need these books in your life! Love Doc and Grandpa, and all the wild kids

loved it

I just love Stevie he is so sweet and unique and chief Paige loves him just like he is. their story is full of sweet love and a strong emotional connection. I have read this book many times and just love these guys.

I absolutely loved this book!

Lucy, I have listened to all of your books on Audible and this is by far my favorite! Michael did a fantastic job! Your words and his interpretation made it incredible! Thank you so much for sharing your talents! I cannot wait for more! Please write more about Stevie. He is my favorite character! I love him!

I love Stevie

This was a short quick read in the "Forever Wilde" series. Stevie Devore is one of the biggest flirts in Hobie Stevie grew up in a neighboring town he was bullied in school and by is brother. Fire chief Evan Paige is a silver fox he has watched Stevie grow up he is 20 years older. Stevie is the happy go lucky only he's not. I really liked Stevie he worked like three jobs to help take care of his sister and his mother who was depressed. This book had some funny scenes in it like Stevie asking Nick to teach him how to give a BJ and then discovering that he Stevie was a virgin when they thought he was booking up left and right. Evan has to work to prove that he is for real he wants a relationship with him. Stevie has insecurities he can't believe the chief wants him. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

Stevie Is Just Fabulous!

Flirt is a fantastic addition to the series. Michael Dean perfectly brings to life the characters in this super sweet, often hilarious age gap romance...love it!

So hilarious

OMG I adored this book. One of my all time favourites in book form, and now my favourite audiobooks. I am a big fan of Lucy Lennox, especially her Forever Wilde series, and this audiobook introduced me to Michael Pauley - lord he is incredible.
This short tells the story of Hobie's biggest flirt, Steve, as he finally gets his HEA! It's flirty, funny, and sexy. One I listen to time and again, especially when I need cheering up!
I cannot fault this audiobook in any way - except may be I wish it was longer so I could get more Stevie! :)
Loved it.

Great book

Amazing book that I re-read a few times already.
Amazing reader, made me laugh and tear up even more

Meet cute

I love the Forever Wilde series and Stevie has been such a fun character that we've gotten to know. This tale is an insight into where he comes from and what life has been like for him under the thumb of his older brother. Chief Paige has seen Stevie at his most vulnerable and has resisted his attraction for the boy until he becomes a man. Michael Pauley does an awesome job of bringing these two characters to life and the Sassy best friend too. A lovely, fun listen when you need a bit of cheer and sparkle in your life.

I really enjoyed this.

Having read the book, I really wanted tohear the narration of Stevie's character and it's brilliant. He's a hero!
