By: Cole McCade

Narrated by: Philip Alces

Length: 17 hrs and 9 mins

Publisher's summary

When Luca Ward was five years old, he swore he would love Imre Claybourne forever. Years later, that promise holds true - and when Luca finds himself shipped off to Imre's North Yorkshire goat farm in disgrace, long-buried feelings flare back to life. The lines around Imre's eyes may be deeper, the once-black night of his hair silvered to steel and stone . . . but he's still the same slow-moving mountain of a man whose quiet-spoken warmth, gentle hands, and deep ties to his Roma heritage have always, to Luca, meant home.

The problem?

Imre is more than twice Luca's age.

And Luca's father's best friend.

Yet if Imre is everything Luca remembered, for Imre this hot-eyed, fey young man is nothing of the boy he knew. Gone is the child, replaced by a vivid man whose fettered spirit is spinning, searching for north, his heart a thing of wild sweet pure emotion that draws Imre into the compelling fire of Luca's frustrated passions. That fragile heart means everything to Imre - and he'll do anything to protect it.

But can he resist the allure in cat-green eyes when Luca places his trembling heart in Imre's hands . . . and begs for his love, over and over again?

Contains mature themes.

Incredibly Lovely

Cole McCade writes with poetic, sensitive, delicate sensuality. Words that make mental images come to life. Listening to this story is like making love with a lover who pays attention to erogenous zones overlooked by those who rush to completion. Age gap, silver fox and a delicately built but strong young man find purpose from confusion and sadness; find love that transcends anything while working together in an almost ethereal farm setting. Ethereal but also gritty and real as the two men manage a farm with goats in estrus, snow storms and physically demanding work from dawn to dusk.
I've read Over and Over Again several times before it was produced in audio. It's been a favorite to be enjoyed "over and over again". However, Phillip Alces brings this beautiful book to life. He is an incredible narrator.

Sweet story, beautifully narrated

Slow to get going but worth the wait. Love the narration, very enjoyable. Thanks to all.

Absolutely excellent narration

I’ve read this book before and was unsure of Philip’s narration based on the clip. But he was incredible. The accents alone but he did such a great job with the emotion and subtly on such a long and poetic book. So glad I grabbed it.

Great slow burn romance

It was a lovely story, the characters and relationship build up slowly for a very satisfying HEA. Highly recommend. Narration was perfect too.

Best Audio

This is one of my favorite books of 2022. The narration was phenomenal. some of the best writing I've ever read and deeply romantic.

Really beautiful writing!!

I really loved this audiobook and the narrator did an incredible job bringing these characters to life! The writing was beautiful and the storyline felt realistic while still having a very cozy, almost whimsical feel to it. It did progress a bit slower in some parts, but overall a really wonderful read and a great audiobook!

Pretty writing

3.5

So first off, the writing was beautiful. Wordy, but pretty. The characters were sweet, the farm cute.

I kept wanting to love this book, and while I liked it, even enjoyed it at times, holy crap was I ready for it to be done. It’s LONGGGG and character driven and… basically nothing really happens?

My favorite parts were when someone is in pain. Welcome to my black soul.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Incredible!!

Wow! Just wow! It might be my absolute favorite audiobook from my entire library of over 350 titles which include Sloane Kennedy, Lily Morton, Lucy Lennox, NR Walker, Felice Stevens and so many more! Nobody writes like Cole! And I mean it! Beyond incredible and beautiful and wonderful and exquisite and just bloody phenomenal! Thank you Cole! Fantastic work! Phillip did such an amazing job! Best choice for such a masterpiece!! ❤️❤️

Beautiful writing

Very romantic, beautifully written book. Highly recommend - I read or listen to at least 3-4 books a week and rarely do any sort of review. This book is worth your time author is an incredible storyteller.

Absolute utter perfection.

I don’t do summaries and I don’t do spoilers. Basically ever. Heck, I rarely even bother to type out a review. I just give my stars and go.

For this one I will.

Warnings: have Kleenex. Just have it. Thank me later.

Don’t read/listen in public. This book is forking hilarious at points. And I’m not talking you blow some air out your nose. You’re gosh darn cackling.

It will gut you at times.

Slow burn. But the steamy scenes are spiced perfection my GOD this man can write. **chefs kiss**

And it’s not just useless prose filling up a page. Dude is on POINT. He forking kills it.

Okay I lied earlier, yeah, I’ll help a fellow reader out: HEA guaranteed. Because it almost killed me a few times I’m happy to prevent another death.

Philip Alces is sublime and beautiful in his narration.

67/10.

Just buy the bloody thing.
