Painted Lace

By: K.M. Neuhold

Narrated by: Iggy Toma

Length: 5 hrs and 12 mins

Publisher's summary

Austin never realized he was painting his life with shades of gray, until Keaton came along and injected a rainbow of color.

Keaton is a tornado of chaos and paint, which turns out to be more exciting than I ever would’ve imagined. I love my organized, predictable life...or at least I thought I did. But what started as a casual hookup is slowly becoming so much more, and I find myself loving the beautiful mess more than I expected.

Can two people so different really make it work once feelings get involved?

Note: This is a stand-alone story and was originally published as Kiss and Run in the Valentine’s Inc series. It has since undergone significant changes and doubled in length.

A sweet contemporary opposites attract!!🎨🖌️

This was such a sweet opposites attract!!

Austin and Keaton were adorable together.

I loved Keaton's free spirited, creative nature. He was a refreshing and interesting character.

The storyline was fairly engaging and the characters were likeable and well fleshed out.

Iggy Toma performed an amazing audio delivery and narration.
He brought the characters to life and gave them their own voices.

Overall, I enjoyed this listen, and definitely recommend.

Iggy Toma was spot on with his narration

I have never listened Iggy Toma before. I thought he did an excellent job with the characters and of course the Lace. I will definitely be looking for more of his narration.

(This review is very similar to my review of the book).

Austin is a very button upped kind of man. An accountant, not really happy with his job but he does love the numbers. The man he thought he would be with forever is marrying someone else and he’s looking for some kind of change. That’s when he meets Keaton.

Keaton is a free spirited artist. He doesn’t have a steady income but manages to get by with spur of the moment jobs. Dog walker to bartender and everything in between, things that don’t tie him down and allow him create his art.

These two were so sexy sweet together. Their uncertainty felt very natural and perfect for their personalities. The lace was a character all by itself. Keaton’s art sounds erotic as hell. The colors seemed so very vivid.

Such a sweet and sexy listen!

I absolutely love listening to this sweet and sexy story! I love Austin and Keaton! This is exactly what I need to listen to right now. I just couldn't get enough of this listen. KM Neuhold just makes me fall in love with these two. Then to have Iggy Toma doing the narration is amazing. He brings this story even more life. Love it!

Sweet & Sexy!

I enjoyed Austin and Keaton’s story. When I saw that Iggy Toma was doing the narration, i knew i was going to have to give this a listen. Iggy is one of my favorites narrators ans he did a great job narrating Austin and Keaton’s story. Iggy narrating super hot sexy times? Sign me up!! Their story had so much sweet and sexy, it was exactly what I needed. I loved the opposites of Austin and Keaton. I loved the theme fate playing a pet in their story. Neither man was looking for something serious but somehow they were meant to be. All’s mentioned, those sexy times were hot AF! The tremendous support that Austin offered Keaton was serious relationship goals. I really liked the beautiful HEA. I definitely recommend this listen!!

Short, fun & sexy 🥰

I really enjoyed this sweet story. As always Iggy Toma was perfect as always.

loved

super cute story no angst .....Yay love it and iggy is always amazing...good read you will enjoy

It's ok

I loved the concept to the book, a MC that is "stifled" , the other a free spirit (Plus what's not sexy about a man in lace?)
I hate to give the book a negative review because I do enjoy K.M. Newhold's books and it seems unfair to say this one isn't good because its not like the other ones even though I was thinking that almost the whole time I was listening/reading.

So, what I will say is that the "conflict" between the two MC's pushes the boundaries of realistic. It's not they have vastly different personalities- they develop a friendship and remark on how much they enjoy spending time together . The "issues" could have been resolved weeks sooner if either one of them had just a smidgen of communication skills and said "hey I like you" (and/or other things that may be spoilers so I'll refrain) IN MY OPINION its a lazy plot device. ALSO how does

The book not awful or terrible, its actually sweet and funny and has some fiery sexy times - it just became very frustrating to me as a reader to keep reading the same thing chapter after chapter . Its not that I don't like it- maybe it is just because i adore her other books so much that this one seemed less than.


The narrator is amazing !

Wonderful short listen

The story was well written as all of this authors are. I'm so happy she got Iggy Toma to be the narrator. I love his voice!

Keaton and Austin

I really enjoyed Austin & Keaton’s story.  They started a bit unconventionally but with time and their own personal growth these two really come together.  I was glad that they took each other out of their comfort zones but it was just what they needed.

Iggy Toma did a great job with the narration and I loved listening to him tell their story.

I received a copy of this book and am giving an honest review

Awesome!!

Iggy Toma did a great job giving these two men a voice. Loved it!!

brilliant

loved Keaton. such a free spirit
while Austin was told he was boring by his ex 3 years ago, he's found it hard to move on.
After their hook up via m and m app, Austin thought it best not to call again . But his best friend got him a date for his ex wedding .It was Keaton.
brilliant story and narrated with the fun that is in the stirt

Brill

This is a brilliant book and I loved how opposite attracts after unexpected set up they have chemistry, can they turn there friends with benefits into more.

Sweet, low-angst opposites attract romance

This lovely opposites attract romance focuses on two men who approach life differently but are wishing for the same thing down deep: someone to love them for who they truly are. Austin likes order, structure, and planning. Keaton has an artist’s free spirit who avoids structure and wants to go with the flow. I like the way their relationship progressed from hookup to love while they figure out how they fit together. I adore Iggy Toma and he did his usual terrific job of narrating here.

Lovely!

Story: K.M. Neuhold created a pair of amazingly quirky, lovable characters. I loved everything about them both, all the insecurities and idiosyncrasies. They were colorful and perfectly defined.
The story itself is a low - angst hookup to love story, with intriguing kink that is both subtle and vivid enough to play a part in the book, but not center stage. Center stage are two guys figuring out why they are perfect for each other, while being almost nothing alike. And it's a very well written, feel good book I swallowed up in one sitting.
Narration: Iggy Toma is not my favorite narrator, but the performance is clear and the narration easy to follow. The acting and emotions match the story and give the characters even more dimension.

3.5-4 stars enjoyable listen

I enjoyed listening to this book, and liked the characters. The only reason for the lower rating is that it lost its pace at times, and it didn’t grab me by the heart as much as it could. I know loads of people will love this book, though.
