I didn’t think I’d ever see you again. Reed’s days are full of unexpected surprises - pretty par for the course as the principal of the only Catholic school in a small town, but there’s one surprise he wasn’t prepared for, and that was Dominic O’Halloran. God help me, I want you. Dominic has spent decades thinking about the life he could have lived.

You think you know me. That's the way I want it. Making you feel like we know each other - like we could go grab a beer sometime - is part of my job. Maybe the most vital part. It doesn't hurt that I'm easy on the eyes, single at 35, and born richer than sin. My aesthetic matters much more than it should, but all the better for my worthy cause. And it's a worthy cause. I've made an art out of making you feel good, and my influence makes you want to be good. Good like me. You think you know me, but you don't. Everyone has secrets. Mine could cost me everything.

Unfortunately, I kissed the one man who's off-limits: Cohen Mitchell - the sole surviving heir to the Mitchell Creek distillery, a rival neighbor my family has feuded with for nearly a 100 years.

Daddy Jordan
The Secrets in Edgewood is one of my favorite series of this author’s and I couldn’t have been more excited when these were going to audio. Christopher Rourke was a new to me narrator going into this series and I’m enjoying his narrations so far. He did a great job bringing Daddy Jordan and Danny to life for me. His Daddy Jordan voice was just so perfect, he drew me into their story. I love a good Daddy story when it’s done well, and this one really hit the mark for me. I’m also a sucker for college age, so their story was a must read from the start. I love the care aspect of the Daddy dynamic and Daddy Jordan definitely took care of his boy Danny. It was super hot, filthy, naughty, yet romantic and sweet and I loved every minute of it. The chemistry and dynamic these two had was fantastic. This is dirty sweetness at its finest!

Danny didn’t mean to fall in love.
Danny & Jordan are always a fun read. It was great to revisit them in audio this time. This is a wonderfully naughty dad’s best friend age gap book. Jordan is all kinds of sexy and in charge. A perfect mix with Danny’s sweet curiosity. I love the chemistry between these two. What started as an illicit affair turns into so much more as Danny & Jordan unexpectedly fall for each other in the midst of just having some fun. Danny is off to college, and having a secret attachment at home is not easy. Back home Jordan is steady at work, struggling with his boy being away and friends wanting to play matchmaker. The distance is hard, but they are better for it, as Danny has the space to grow into himself. Their love comes at a steep cost in many ways but in the end having each other is worth everything.

Their secret relationship
Danny was working in the office of his father's business for a while as he had taken a year out before starting college, he ended up spending several hours with Jordan his father's business partner when there had been a mishap with a large stack of files. until then he hadn't realised that Jordan was attracted to men or what was going to happen next between them...but there was an attraction and neither of them wanted to ignore it.
This is the second book in the series although it works as a standalone without any issues or story crossover. Daddy / boy age gap romance which is hot, thoroughly enjoyed. Christopher Rourke did a fantastic job narrating the book.

A steamy Daddy/boy romance
I didn't like how this story started, but by the end Danny and Daddy Jordan won me over. I think what caught me so off guard in the beginning is how quickly Danny and Jordan hooked up and how miraculously compatible their kinks were. Don't get me wrong--it was super hot to read about all the filthy things they got up to, but I was missing the emotional connection between them. I wish there had been even a couple extra chapters to warm me up to the idea of them together. It didn't help that the first six months of their hookups were fast-forwarded, so any chance of me getting that satisfying emotional buildup went out the window. After Danny went away to college, the pace of the story slowed down significantly and I enjoyed the romance much more. I loved how sweet and pliant Danny was with Jordan while still being very sure about exactly what he wanted from him. Seeing how committed Danny and Jordan were to making things work long-distance told me everything I needed to know about how serious they were about each other. When they did make time to meet up, their passion ignited into such incredibly hot encounters that took my breath away. For a story that rode the line between desperate longing and angst, I was surprised by how maturely Danny's family reacted to finding out about his relationship with Jordan. Danny and Jordan had built it up into this impossible barrier to get across, so when things actually worked out it was such an unexpected relief. I thought the epilogue, set 3 years into the future, was such a lovely way to get a glimpse into Danny and Jordan's "happily-ever-after".

Amazing!!
This book was brilliant and I highly recommend it!! Falling in love with your father's friend/ business partner is not one if my favorite tropes in romance but it's so amazingly done in this book! The chemistry between Danny and Jordan was absolutely explosive! And the level of love and caring between the two if them just melted my heart . It's a great book, beautifully written with deep and easy to connect with characters and I just couldn't put it down. I loved the side characters too. Especially Tim and Toby. And the narrator was amazing, he really brought the characters to life. Fantastic!

Terrible audio quality
This book has awful audio quality, it sounds like it was recorded in a tin can. Combined with terrible narration with weird accents and hesitant style - this one is a skip. The content is also very kink heavy and not for the feint of heart.
