Amazing Sweet Story

Honestly I loved this book. It's super insta-love and almost rushed in a way but I really enjoyed the ride. Both Sebastian and Charlie have some things to overcome, being trauma and poverty but this story is cute. I think the author does a good job of touching on trauma in a DV situation in the best way. I'm so glad I picked this book up. The narrations is amazing. Honestly I did not think this book could get better but the narration makes it that much better!

This series is starting off HOT! 🔥

Perfect Night is book #1 in the Soho Knights series. This is my first listen from the author and I thoroughly enjoyed Charlie and Sebastian's story. Sebastian is a uber-wealthy CEO, Charlie is a marketing genius and part-time escort. One year after the 'perfect night' ONS, they are brought together again, never forgetting THAT night. Both have issues from their past that keep them from finding happiness. I can't say enough about the writing: it's real, humorous, emotional, and the steam is steaming!! I'm really looking forward to the rest of this series!

The dual narration is so dang good. Devon Ryder and Dan Calley (new to me) were perfectly cast as the young Charlie and mature Sebastian. Loved the passion and emotion they brought to this story. 5/5 stars!!

Sweet MM Book

So I am conflicted on this book. This is the first book that I have read by Oliver and it was hard for me to get started and really into it at first. Then I started to enjoy it more and then it felt a bit laggy and slow again and I started to lose interest. I really did like both MMCs. Charlie was trying to be independent and was so unwilling to ask for help or accept help while Sebastian just wanted to support and love him. I am glad that I pushed through the book. I give it 3.5 - 4 stars.

The narration was okay to me. I have definitely heard better. Both narrators were new to me and they just sounded a bit flat. 4 stars for the narration

A twisty, layered ride that keeps you guessing 🤔

Oliver Takely’s Perfect Night (Soho Knights, Book 1) starts in London before sweeping to New York and back again, layering drama on top of drama until you’re left spinning with surprises. It’s engaging, unpredictable, and always moving.

The duet narration by Devon Ryder and Dan Calley is a real highlight, adding depth to the age-gap chemistry at the heart of the romance. That said, the mix of third-person writing with duet narration is unusual—it didn’t always click for me, making my overall experience a bit more neutral.

If you love complex plots, bold character choices, and some sizzle in the romance, this one is worth a try—just be ready for a few narrative quirks along the ride.
