Test Drive

Publisher's Summary

A double shot of devastating news turns Justin Evanson's life upside down. When he learns his father has cancer, and he has siblings he never knew existed, he leaves everything behind and moves to Virginia to support his dad as he tries to make amends with his family - a family Justin's not sure he has a place in. Things go from bad to worse when he discovers his recent hookup is his newfound sister's brother-in-law.

Drew Sinclair never expected to see Justin after their night at the club or to discover their family connection. If anyone found out, it would give Drew's brother another reason to hate him. But there's something about Justin that draws him in, and it's not only because they burn up the sheets together.

One meeting leads to another, and before Justin realizes it, Drew has become the only thing in his world he feels is his. And for the first time in his life, Drew knows what it means to be needed. Being there for Justin and supporting him when things spiral out of control feels right. But with so much happening so quickly, it's hard to trust their feelings. Is this thing between them real? Or just a test drive before life forces them down two separate roads?

not my favorite but still good.

i like riley hart series but i just wish there was more action and adventure

Never disappoints,

The books in this series have not disappointed yet. The charters are hard not to fall in love with. I highly recommend this series, just be ok with a little "action " with a sweet ending behind it..

Loved the story and the narration was amazing!!!

It was my first audiobook and I absolutely adored it! Sean Crisden's voice is SO good!!!

Omg I love the series. I'm so addicted.

Can't wait for more! I really hope it's more coming out cause I'm so addicted to this series.At first I was skeptical but once I started I couldn't stop.

Not What I Expected!

4.5 Stars
I was pleasantly surprised by the emotions that this story brought to my heart. Justin leaves his life in North Carolina to help take care of his father in Virginia. One night he goes out to blow off some steam in a bar where he meets Drew. They have an interesting and sexy encounter only to find out that they have a different connection. There is a lot of sexy male/male romance but it is not so sexy that you lose the emotion and family dynamics. Overall, this story will probably surprise you as much as it surprised me, so take a chance on it.

This specific video review will be included in the October 2018 wrap-up.

A fine, sweet romance

Drew and Justin find love in an unexpected place. Their romance is sweet. They each have family issues that they think might keep them apart but in the end they make it work.
So many reviewers have praised the narrator but I absolutely refuse to listen to any more of his work. He sounds so bored at times and he’s affects an odd casual tone when he should be more earnest or passionate (sex scenes and other deeply emotional scenes). It brought me out of the story way too many times. A narrator should bring the story alive but I found that I kept listening just to see how the story ended.

Too many tears... but still really enjoyed it

I LOVE Sean Crisden's narration! The story might have just hit a little too close to home for me. It was very touching and the love story was great but I shed a lot of tears.

Just for You

Justin and Drew meet in an odd way but it is hard with everything else going on around them. Justin spends a lot of time in his head. Drew is good for him and helps him to refocus. The best part is how Drew makes him feel like he has something that is just for himself. Lots of hard emotional stuff that isn't directly about them as a couple but that needs to be dealt with.

Another hit!

What did you like best about this story?

This being the third book in the Crossroads series it was wonderful to see the characters from the previous books and the friendships that have grown throughout them. The tenderness between Justin and Drew was gorgeous, you really felt their relationship.

Have you listened to any of Sean Crisden’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Yes, I've listen to lots of Sean Crisden's performances and him narrating a book goes a long way to me buying it.

Any additional comments?

Now waiting for the novella in audio... :)
