Just the Right Chord

By: BL Maxwell

Narrated by: Guy Veryzer

Kai and Rory met a few months ago when Kai made a food delivery to Rory’s band. They’ve been together ever since, and neither of them has looked back and craved the single life. Now with the holidays fast approaching, both of them worry about giving the perfect gift to each other.

Kai Marshall hasn’t had a boyfriend at the holidays before, making this year even more special—and stressful. He wants Rory to know how much he means to him and how special their first Christmas is.

Rory Smith is new to having a boyfriend, and has never been very good at gifts, preferring to give gift cards instead. But Kai is important, and he’s not going to settle for just any gift this year.

Kai and Rory are completely in love. Now they just need to make sure their other half knows exactly how much they care.

Just the Right Chord is a Rockstar romance with a bit of holiday cheer.

Cute Holiday Read

I enjoyed this cute holiday read, covering both Thanksgiving and Christmas. This is my first time meeting these characters, yet I was still able to read and enjoy this as a standalone, though I probably would have enjoyed the inside jokes more if I read the story of how they got together first. The narration was okay. Some of the voices and accents were great, and others drove me crazy (including one of the main characters). Listening to this on 1.2-1.3 speed helped, and I still enjoyed the story. If you’re looking for a light-hearted, low angst (aside from struggling to figure out the perfect first Christmas gift), then I highly recommend giving this a try.

Wonderful story.

I loved Kai and Rory’s love story. I will never overlook the delivery guys ever again. I also enjoyed the holiday get together and all of the family being together for the holidays. I definitely recommend this book to everyone who enjoys mm holiday romances.

Short and sweet

The narrator was incredible. I listen at fast speed, but it was super clear and easy to follow, and I loved it! The accents and different voices for each character were spot on, and it was really enjoyable. It is a tooth achingly sweet story, so I recommend brushing your teeth afterwards if you don’t want cavities, but it’s very well written and narrated, very much worth a listen.
