Publisher's summary

A Being(s) in Love Story

Years ago, a very intoxicated Martin nearly died in the woods outside Everlasting, and a beautiful creature saved him, although Martin’s done his best to forget it. He spends his time in a haze of weed as he avoids his emotionally abusive mother - and the way he feels about men. Martin is already a weirdo in his isolated small town; he doesn’t need a sexuality crisis, too. He’s a mess, but someone - or something - always seems to take care of him, usually a tall, sarcastic deputy by the name of Ian Forrester.

No one knows much about Ian, which is how he and his family prefer it. Ian has resigned himself to a lonely life keeping his secrets and guarding his forest. It’s safe to dream of Martin, because Martin never remembers Ian helping him. Besides, Martin barely speaks to Ian, so nothing can ever grow between them. Right?

But with the dragons - and the magic - back in Everlasting, suddenly anything seems possible, even a happily ever after for two men who never expected one....

FANTASTIC

The narrator here was just perfect. His voice performance of EVERYBODY was just great.

The story itself was so engaging and evocative. This was my first book of this series and I loved it so much that I intend to read every other book I can get my hands on.

If nothing at all, I will definitely grab Zarrin and Joe’s book. They were great here and I really want to know how they got together

Great Story, Poor Performance

Storyline is as excellent as the rest of the series, however there were too many long pauses through the entire book.

slow slow burn

I loved this book as I have all of R. Coolers Beings in Love books, but so many times I had to put this down or risk strangling my phone. Two characters could not be more difficult. I can't imagine having had to struggle with these two. R. Cooper must have magic.

Narrator

The narrator is just awful, worse than awful - offensive. I would tell R Cooper that I’m not listening to any more if zie books if this guy narrators them. In fact, I might just refund it now while I’m on chapter five bec he’s so annoying, and seriously offensive with his liberties and gender-enactments.

Wear earbuds and be prepared to blush. A lot.

Would you consider the audio edition of His Mossy Boy [Being(s) in Love] to be better than the print version?

In a way, yes, the audio book is better. First, Christopher Patton has a PERFECT Martin voice. All of Martin's mumbles and sweet little noises are conveyed with talent and respect for the character. Second, reading texts between the characters is sweet and kinda sexy; hearing those texts read aloud is a whole other level of steamy.

What other book might you compare His Mossy Boy [Being(s) in Love] to and why?

Little Wolf is my favorite book of R.Cooper's Being(s) in Love series, and it is a terrible audiobook. The narrator reads like a 7 year old being taught to read aloud for the first time. His pauses and inflections make absolutely no sense and deter from the meaning of the sentence he "recites" like a bad slam poet. If you've heard it, I'm sorry, but please give His Mossy Boy a chance. His Mossy Boy is a shiny beacon of what romance should be read like.

What does Christopher Patton bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He is Martin. It's adorable.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I blushed. Repeatedly. This book is a challenge to listen to in public.

VERY Good Book...but

I really enjoyed this book however I don’t think it needed to be so long. Some of it was just fluff but I can honestly say it did not detract me from the book.

This audiobook needs help.

The audio book needs re-editing. The long pauses in the narration are very distracting. That said, great voices for the characters and the story is sweet and interesting.

It’s decent

It’s a good story with decent audio and narration overall it’s a good read, that being said I understand that one of the main characters is suffering emotional abuse and I myself wish I could go inside the book and strangle the offender, but It is quite taxing on my nerves how much of the story has nothing but self destruction and self deprecation …. It is a little depressing to be honest. Still a good book and that’s the only thing that is a little vexing.

Like the storyline - but it was dragged out too long

I feel like the story would have been better if several extra hours of angst were removed.
I wanted to smack both main characters at times ( and that’s a sign I’ve been fully sucked in) but there were parts that I felt were unnecessarily repetitive.
