Buzz

The Riley Brothers, Book 1

By: E. Davies

Narrated by: Michael Dean

"I'm walking away from that dream."

At 23, an undiagnosed heart condition sends pro hockey player Cameron Riley back to his hometown newly single and looking for work. Cam can't hide his past - especially when his heart racing is a big risk, and boy, does his new boss's nephew make his heart race. Noah's exactly the kind of guy Cam needs after his hellish ex.

Art curator Noah Clark is glad his beekeeping uncle hired this hunk. Cameron is a sweet, smart bad boy. Noah works hard, like organizing a hockey-themed art exhibition, and he wants to let himself love hard. Noah's busy life would be perfect with Cameron, but what's his new lover hiding?

Pitting Cam's budding relationship with sweet Noah against millions of bucks, Cam is offered a lot of money to abandon his new priorities: life, love, and family. The game of their lives is on the line. And after all's said and done, is it too late for Noah to forgive Cam for his partial truths?

Buzz is a steamy, standalone gay romance novel with a happily ever after ending and no cliffhanger.

Sweet as honey

This was a nice book but I felt like some parts of it tended to drag out a bit sometimes and wish it was more fluid.

I did read it before in e-book format, which was a bit harder to get into. However, Michael Pauly did a great job narrating this story and bringing it to life, making it more interesting and engaging. I am a long time fan of Michael, and love his emotional renditions of characters and situations.

This is a sweet love story, it is very gentle and I liked Cam's brother's a lot.
I would say i think it's not a master piece, but a feel-good romantic read for sure.

Just Greatness!

Michael Pauley has done it again!! Buzz is such a great book to read but then you take an amazing narrator like Michael and that book become even more amazing! Noah and Cam become even more real to me and now if I read this book I will have Michael's narration in my head. If you haven't read/listen to a book by E. Davies then this is the one you should start with. Just amazing!

Amazing narration for an incredible story

Narration Review
I listened to this book in audio as a second read. I have to say that I really enjoyed the book the first time, but I loved it even more this time. Michael Pauley did such an AMAZING job with the narration and sucked me right into the story. He had very distinct voices for Cam and Noah, and I could imagine that is exactly what they sounded like. The scenes where Cam and Noah finally got together were HOT. holy cow Michael brought such passion and tension into the scenes. It was beautifully done.

Book Review
I am such a sucker for hockey players in my books. That made this just a bit of a guaranteed read for me.

Cam is a professional hockey player who finds he has some heart problem that requires him to retire from the game. He also has a real jerk ex who leaves him while he is sick in the hospital, claiming it's partly because Cam is in the closet. He loves the game, but finds once he gets back home that he missed being with his family and having a more sedentary life (versus traveling all over all the time). He has a great bond with his siblings and his parents.

Noah is a museum curator and is in the process of creating an exhibit about local hockey. His uncle, who he is close with, is a beekeeper, and Noah helps him out from time to time. He is very knowledgeable about bees and random art stuff. He's sweet and adorable.

They meet and there is immediate attraction. What I loved, though, is that they didn't get together right then. When they saw each other a day or a few days later, then they chatted and set up a date. They didn't rush into anything. Noah helps Cam realize what is important in life, and makes him question what it is he really wants. Cam kept a lot of secrets from Cam, but they weren't malicious or handled in a negative way. Cam was afraid of Noah treating him differently if he knew he was a hockey player, because that is how he was treated in the past.

Of course the guys work through everything and we get a nice HEA with the wonderful promise of 2 more books!!! There are 3 brothers so I am looking forward to their stories. I am also looking forward to seeing Cam and Noah throughout those books. I want to know what is really going on with Cam's heart, and I am hoping we will find out in the next books.

I really, really enjoyed this and can't wait for the rest of the series.

heartwarming story

glad rhey put this book on audio. hope they put the next books out soon

Look forward to more, but there were a few things.

I enjoyed "Buzz" and plan to continue the series. I adored Noah and loved his creativity as an artist. I found it was easy to connect with him. Cameron was a little more of a challenge for me. I didn't understand why he kept secrets from Noah, especially when he had the chance over and over to tell him the truth. I loved the bees!! I smiled so much in those scenes! I also loved Cameron's family and am interested to know more about his brothers, BUT I will say, it was confusing to be thrown into the brother's minds sometimes. Since it was written in third person, it was hard to keep track of who's mind I was in, and I ended up backtracking at least 3 different times to figure it out. But other than that, I enjoyed this story and look forward to more.
