Publisher's summary

Jack Brighton and Lawson Gale have been together for six months and are very much in love. Lawson's work ensuring the survival of the Tillman Copper is as demanding as ever, and Jack's work with the regeneration of the bushfire-ravaged national park is just as hectic.

When Jack suggests they take a short trip, Lawson agrees. But then he is offered a two-week research position in tropical Queensland to help determine why the Ulysses butterfly is on the decline. Figuring they could combine work and pleasure, Jack and Lawson go on their first vacation together.

Working alongside renowned Professor Piers Bonfils isn't easy. But personal and professional differences aside, Lawson is offered a more permanent role in Queensland. Torn between his new life in Tasmania with Jack and a dying species of butterfly he feels compelled to save, Lawson has to decide where his fate lies.

But fate changes the rules. On a research expedition into the depths of the rain forest, suddenly it's not only the butterflies' existence that hangs in the balance.

Contains mature themes.

loved it!!!!

love n.r walker books the stories and guys are easy to fall in love with. but the narrator in this book was just o.k.

Love NR walker

Never fails to dissapoint with unusual story lines and sweet relationships. I was disappointed that the scene about the article was removed from the book. I love little easter eggs for die hard fans.
I'm still not sold on this narrator. His voices for the two main characters were too similar and there were parts that were said too stilted to work properly.

Narrator should probably have found out how to pronounce Launceston too. Lawn-ces-ton.

Despite this the brilliance of NRs writing shone through.

Adored!

Jack and Lawson are just too perfect together! I absolutely adore them!
We get to go on more adventures with them and enjoy their HEA.

Another Butterfly Adventure with Jack & Lawson

It was great going back to Tassie and joining Jack and Lawson on another butterfly adventure in Far North Queensland! They're a couple of my favorite men from the world of N.R. Walker :) Jack and Lawson finally meet each other's families, save a butterfly species from extinction, and nearly die in the process in a very Lawson Gale manner. Some of my favorite Jack and Lawson moments include both men camp out overnight and going on adventures. They're the perfect pair and Antony Ferguson did a great job (yet again) narrating my favorite men. The ending is my absolute favorite moment with love, butterflies, and a celebration of Jack, Lawson and Rosemary :) I also really loved the deleted scene because the author loves planting Easter eggs in her books and I'm glad this one made its way to the audiobook.

I love Jack and Lawson 🥰

One of the things I love the most about N.R. Walker's writing is how she can take such normal things, but make them so completely extraordinary.

I loved this.

I thought it fit well with 'Imago'. 'Imagines' seemed well-researched, though I'm no lepidopterist, with Jack and Lawson going to Queensland for a work vacation and Lawson trying to determine why the Ulysses butterfly keeps dying so soon after imago.

I loved the dual POV, and, best of all, I loved how beautifully romantic it was throughout.

[quote] “Jack, there are species of Lepidoptera all over this world, but there are none―none―like those I experience when I’m with you. You are quite possibly the most perfect man, with the kindest heart, and you make me strive to be a better person. And this here—”I looked around us, the Tasmanian countryside, Rosemary off sniffing around the garden, this perfect piece of life. “It’s everything I want for the rest of my life. I want to grow old with you, right here.

I loved it! This series, like many of Walkers' series, has just been a joy to read and listen to, with Antony Ferguson elevating the story and making this an absolutely delightful listen.
