Publisher's Summary

Nolan isn’t too old for me, no matter what he says...

I started coming to the coffee shop to work on my novel, but I keep coming back to watch Nolan - the hot-as-hell alpha who owns the place. So, what if he’s a few...okay, several...years older than me? I know that I belong in his bed and in his life.

Nolan’s been hurt by young omegas before, and I need to convince him that we could be the real thing. He gets me like no one ever has, and I yearn to be his.

But when a post on my blog sparks controversy, I’m suddenly in danger, and Nolan thinks it’s all my fault.

Are we really over before we begin? Or, can Nolan and I find a way to overcome the threats and take our chance at love?

Not for me

Looks like I'm going to post a very unpopular opinion on this book, but... I'm sorry, but during most of the time, it was a boring story.

Nothing really happens until almost the end of the book, and, by then, I was tired of the characters.

And C.S. Harder's narration didn't help. His range of voices is limited, and the secondary characters sounded all very similar.

Not the book for me, evidently.

teasing into love

I had empathy for both Theo and Nolan's bad past relationships. These two were so cute tip towing around each other in the beginning. When tragedy strikes it's a wake up call for both
guys to get it together and handle what's important!!! I enjoyed watching the dynamics of their relationship grow and change. Great epilogue. The narrator did a great job. I voluntarily listened to a free copy and am giving an honest review.

OLDER - YOUNGER MAN HEA

Here we're back at Brewed Delights where The o starts to turn up daily to write his book & to drool over Manager/Owner Nolan.
Where we saw them at the end of Competing For His Heart, when Hunter wanted his delightful decaf coffee.
So it's here we see them become closer as 'friends' which slowly becomes closer until things spills from Theo's personal site into Nolan's café disastrously.
I found this episode was quite slow moving though found myself having tears pouring down during a period of time.

as good as the ebook

The story is always full stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook. I can't listen to an audiobook without knowing the book, that's not possible for me.

The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. It took me a little bit, to come into the narrator, but at the end, it worked. I only have to take a few breaks between. I'm just not yet finish with the book, I’m over the half, but I listen enough to give a review.
