St. Nacho's

St. Nacho's, Book 1

By: Z. A. Maxfield

Narrated by: Thomas Fawley

Cooper has spent the last three years running from a painful past. He's currently moving from town to town, working in restaurant kitchens, and playing his violin for tips. As soon as he starts to feel comfortable anywhere - with anyone - he moves on. He's aware that music may be the only human language he still knows. Ironically, the one man he's wanted to communicate with in all that time is deaf.

Shawn is part of a deaf theater group at the nearby college. Shawn wants Cooper as soon as they meet and he begins a determined flirtation. Cooper is comfortable with down and dirty sex, just not people. As far as Shawn is concerned, dirty sex is win-win, but he wants Cooper to let him into the rest of his life as well. Cooper needs time to heal and put his past away for good. Shawn needs to help Cooper forgive himself and accept that he can be loved. Both men find out that when it comes to the kind of healing love can bring, the sleepy beachside town of Santo Ignacio, "St. Nacho's" as the locals call it, may just be the very best place to start.

A pretty good love story for the gay among us

If you are into gay love stories (which, as a gay man, I am), then you will probably enjoy this book. It's predictable. It's sappy at times. But it was a fun read.

I Wish I Could Find My Own St Ignacio!

St. Nacho's is the first book in the series and it set the tone marvelously...so much that this is my 2nd time listening to it. I loved the world building and character development, I really liked that one of the MMCs - Sean - is deaf but he didn't let that stop him, he saw what he wanted and he went for it. Cooper - 28 yrs to Sean's 22 yrs didn't stand a chance. I loved the sensual scenes with them, I could feel the 🔥 between them. St Ignacio - St Nacho's - feels like a place of healing...a place to just...be. I totally crave that and if a beautiful deaf man pursued me I wouldn't say No' Thomas Fawley took some time getting used to, I had to speed him up! But once I did, I found that I appreciated his style of narrating especially Sean's voice - it was done respectfully and not OTT. I think I will listen to book 2 again!

5 Starz - I've completely listened to it twice and I think it's worthy of another repeat listen

Not for me

I found the main character to be completely unlikable and unbelievable. The amount of self guilt and angst he starts with about something out of his control is just dumb.
I work in the industry of auto accident fatalities and can tell you that In 6 years I have never had customer that reacts this way about it. Maybe because of my work I just couldnt buy the driving force to the main character's hang up. I couldn't finish at 50% and I don't want to finish it, I read enough to know I don't like it.

Sweet well written story.

Well written, nicely narrated story that covered some very difficult subjects. Look forward to reading more in this series

Fawley/ Story Great
