Vino & Veritas Series

By: E Davies

Narrated by: Greg Boudreaux

Save the bees, ride a rock star.

Formerly famous...and planning to keep it that way.

After my band kicked me out, I ran away to Vermont, changed my name, and kept my head down. So far, it's working and nobody knows who I am. Or who I was. Until I see geeky poet Caleb stumbling through his first open mic night and I can't help rescuing him. He's as sweet as the honey my bees make and sexy enough to make me rethink so many things. But I can't tell him my secret, or I'll lose the anonymous life I worked so hard to build.

Everyone warns me he's too good to be true.

I can't believe a gorgeous, successful winemaker like Tag is into shy, geeky little accountant me. But he helps me blossom and believe in my talent, and works his way into my heart and my bed...not necessarily in that order. I'm falling for a man for the first time, and now I know what the missing number in my equation has always been.

When lies are revealed, though, someone's going to get stung....

Contains mature themes.

This Story was Annoying

I don’t usually FF through an audiobook, but I had to with this one. I felt like Caleb’s reaction to Tag’s secret was too dramatic. How did his secret about a past that hurt him (Tag) become betrayal to Caleb? Tag went through an extensive amount of energy to hide his rock star past to include changing his name. After dating Caleb for a little over a week, he’s just supposed to throw ALL caution to the wind. The fact that Caleb made the omission of Tag’s past about himself annoyed me and I was over it. The story disappointed me. Greg Boudreaux does an excellent job with his narration, per usual.

Oh my heart for Caleb and his poetry!

This was such a cute story with an even cuter little butterfly of a character in Caleb. Even with the narrator’s skill, I fell in love with his cuteness in the voice he provided. And the former rockstar Tag, be still my heart with him and his need for someone to just love him. Great read/listen!

Best for sure

Oh my!! Greg Boudreaux, smoking hot voice did an amazing job with this story. it's well written by E Davies, exactly what we always get. so sweet!! so cute!! just a perfect romance story. definitely one of the best in the series.

Wonderful narration

This was story experience 2.5. The first time reading I pushed through, the second time reading was DNF, and this time via audiobook I finished. I hoped the audio would changed my mind, and the narration was AMAZING, Without a doubt, I loved the characters emerging as individuals. What I couldn’t shake was the feeling that this story would have been written as a MF story, and the female part was subbed out with a guy.

You know what I always find fascinating in a book??? When the MC has the same job that I do. I mean don’t get me wrong I love fantasy worlds with dragon riders and wing leaders, but give me your run of the mill accountant any day just trying to make it.

Tag (Titus) is a former Rockstar who was kicked out of his band during a concert. He moved to Burlington, VT to live a life of privacy brewing his own honey mead. During his delivery to V&V, he stubbles upon an open mic night, and sees a man on stage struggling with stage freight to read his poetry. Being in that position before Tag saves the day by taking a seat up close making eye contact and pulling his focus to him, so that he can read his poem.

Caleb is an accountant, by day but an inspiring poet. Not to be famous, but as a hobby and he wants to share it with others. However, stage fright is a real thing! Until this Angel comes in and saves his reading. This leads to a thank you drink. Then a date at the Maple Factory…and that was it. Caleb had found himself with a boyfriend.

Tag and Caleb have a connection that was irrefutable. Only Tag has not been honest about his past and when if comes out Tag is not sure if Caleb will be okay with it.

Good story

This was a nice story but the conflict was a little childish. I mean I get that they had to be a part for a while but the reason could of been better. But still it’s good story

So romantic 🥰

Such a sweet, low-angst romance. Caleb's chapters really brought back that feeling of falling in love for the first time. This is going in my favorites!

Amazing narration! Sweet story.

This was relatively low angst and sweet — almost too sweet at times. The narration of the two distinct characters by one performer was sensitive and believable — such a feat!

We get it.

First, despite the over-dramatic responses to the unfolding angst that took over half the book, I do love Caleb and Tag, and Greg Boudreaux’s narration is spectacular as always. But I could not stop yelling “we get it we get it we get it” for maybe most of the middle section, then whyyyyy at the wayyyy to over-dramatic response to the careful miscommunication. Ugh. But obviously we know the HEA is coming and it is lovely. I guess I’m glad I finished but almost didn’t…

Way too needy!

The extremely needy main character is annoying but other than that it was good . The narrator is good for the most part. I love the series so it was worth it
