Publisher's summary

All Wade Reed wanted to do was make it to his brother Cole's parole hearing at Corcoran State Prison. But the 40-year-old environmental planner from LA never made it. With a bad navigation system and the infamous Tule fog, Wade ended up on a road to nowhere, his BMW stuck in the mud. His gas tank running low, no phone reception, Wade couldn't think of a worse scenario...until headlights appeared through the gloom.

Twenty-two-year-old Ayden Solomon worked with his three brothers and father on the almond orchard in the Great Central Valley. Ayden, being the youngest and prettiest, was constantly the source of amusement for his brothers' teasing and put up with it, but grew weary of the bullying. At night, when he was alone in his room, Ayden drew superhero comics, a dynamic duo who he imagined would save the world from bullies...bullies who attacked men like him. Gay men.

After unsuccessfully trying to pull Wade's car out of the ditch, and getting himself stuck as well, the two strangers spend the night in Ayden's truck, keeping warm, talking, bonding, and sharing things with each other; personal things. Ayden and Wade, although they had nothing in common, got to know each other on a very deep level in the eight hours they were sitting in the dense fog, alone and completely isolated. What had begun as a frustrating trip for Wade, had turned into a gay erotic fantasy with a young stud. But neither man could imagine what would come next...when the city slicker met the farmer's son.

Cheesy goodness

Over the top in parts, this audiobook hit the spot. I loved it. Sugary sweet and hawt. Uncomplicated plot. Nice!

Great Narration for the cheesy but loveable story

Would you consider the audio edition of The Farmer's Son to be better than the print version?

Yes, the narration really enhances the story and brings it to life in a way it did not come to life with words alone.

Would you be willing to try another book from G. A. Hauser? Why or why not?

Sure, if i liked the story description enough, i would buy another

Which scene was your favorite?

The scene in the truck where they first admit to having feelings for one another and then do something about it that takes them both by surprise.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I could have if i had the time to listen to it all at once, but i don;t usually have the time to do that.

Well told story - Great Narration!! A Must Listen

This book has a great story, realistic characters and situations. The narrator does a fantastic job. There's more than enough steamy sex to ignite anyone's fire. I hope to see more from this author in the future.

Such a fun story

I really really loved this book. Great narration added to my enjoyment. I finished it feeling totally fulfilled and the Comic Con ending was perfect. Boo was just precious in every way.

Contrived and Unbelievable - terrible narrator

As an avid Romance reader I am aware that it is somewhat the equivalent to watching Hallmark Movies . HOWEVER there are many many books out there that are categorized as Romance that are quite stunning, complex and fantastic (especially the M/M romance books) . Coming across those books and authors are like finding buried treasure. I had heard that G.A. Hauser was a hidden gem .. I will no longer take advice from this particular forum because OMG

The suspension of disbelief needed for this book is just too much - and that is coming from someone who once watched Hallmark Channel Christmas movies for THREE days straight .

THEN the narrator sounds like he's either trying not to drive the car into a tree during the internal dialogue and then trying not to punch you every time anything requiring an emotion occurs.

I sped the narration up and started skipping chapters (because I cannot stand not knowing how a book ends) just so it would be over sooner . THEN when I got to the end I regretted all my life decisions.

If you want to believe that after only 24 hours two complete strangers make the decision to live together because they have perfect sexual compatibility (ok yeah that happens all the time, sure. in a car even) and that a toxic family and homophobic stifling family flip after little to no conversation and they all live happily ever after - this is the audiobook for you - as long as you also enjoy growly angsty voices with no intonation.
