Publisher's summary

Some people are worth coming out for, no matter the costs....

Judah has hit rock bottom. He’s broke, he’s homeless, and he’s about to outwear his welcome with his friends. Plus, he's shoved so deep into the closet, he's one step away from Narnia. His last chance is entering The Right Note TV contest in the hopes of winning. What he doesn’t count on is losing…his heart.

Fellow contestant Denver is sunshine personified, even if his bubbly outside hides the horror he’s survived, and he draws Judah in like a damn magnet. But Judah can’t be out, especially not on national TV. It could cost him everything.

But when trouble follows Denver, Judah has to choose: Denver…or winning. Coming out…or losing the man he loves.

Out to Win is a steamy stand-alone MM romance with a tough-acting virgin, a bubbly twink with a big heart, a dash of kink, some hot bodyguards in the background, and a sweet HEA. Please note trigger warnings for domestic abuse and sexual assault. This book was previously released as The Time of My Life. It has been reedited and has an extra epilogue.

Oh my babies!

Charlie David is a god! I would listen to him read a Wikipedia page or 20.

The story line is so cute! It is kind of a slow burn but both character’s trauma is in line with their reactions. Nathan and Tim are a gem. I love their story line as well. I kind want a book for them then a continuation of J+D’s story. If it already exist then I’m definitely going to read it if not, then my sentiment stands.

A steamy opposites attract romance!

This was a steamy opposites attract, Grumpy versus sunshine, medium angst romance.

Judah and Denver were opposites in every way, but when they came together it was pure passion and the chemistry between them was intense.

The storyline was engaging and twists and turns the plot took made it all the more compelling.
The characters were likeable and entertaining and the writing style was enjoyable.

Charlie David's audio delivery was flawless and he brought the characters to life which made this all the more enjoyable to listen to.

Awesome Story & Listen🎧 Captivating & Heartfelt!

I loved everything about this book, the story is entertaining and captivated my attention right from the start and held it straight to the end. Nora Phoenix is a gifted author, I enjoy her writing style and the characters and storylines she creates. I’ve been loving her “Irresistible Omegas” and it is great to see another side of her creative mind in this book. The characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with. I adored the two lead characters, Denver and Judah, they meet while trying out to be contestants in “The Right Note” TV contest, which is a voice like competition. Denver is a music teacher from NJ teaching in NYC, he is a fan of the show and did his homework to learn as much as he could about the ins and outs of the competition. On the other hand, Judah, also from NY, is entering the competition as a lost ditch effort, he is estranged from his family and homeless, he is also a bit clueless when it comes to the behind the scenes of the show. The two kind of sort of hit it off but Denver being the nice guy that he is decides to help him and fill him in. Judah is under the impression that Denver is privileged and has it all. He soon realizes he is not the only one with issues. I loved how everything plays out in this book, the story is cleverly plotted with plenty of drama, angst, some twists, thrilling suspense, heartfelt and emotional moments and some hot romance. It was great to learn more about these two characters, the personal drama as well as the drama on the show. I am a huge fan of Tim and Nathan, it would be great to see more from them down the road. Nora Phoenix, thank you for another awesome story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
