Publisher's Summary

For the first time, enjoy the whole Significant Brothers series in one collection. If you’ve never met the Significant Brothers, dive in — the series has 400+ five-star reviews on Amazon, and the last book won a Rainbow Award for Best Bi Contemporary Romance! 

Here are the six novels included in this collection, plus the novella (Wintersweet) that catches up with the guys while they plan a wedding: 

Splinter 

After zero-gravity heroics left astronaut Nicolas Rogers injured, his new job as a hermit — er, park ranger — seems perfect. Until he ends up babysitting rock star Deen Jayse, sent to the Smoky Mountains by his manager for image rehab. Behind their personas, they’re startlingly similar. Yet Deen can't just drop everything to go live in the mountains, and Nico can't abandon them. After a taste of being together, how can they face a future apart? 

Grasp 

Zoo vet Blane Winters's grumpy attitude and muscles hide a romantic heart. But incessantly cheerful Falcon Harper won’t stop studying him as he paints meerkats at his zoo. When he tells the vet about his secret ex who’ll be at his sister’s wedding, the solution is obvious: Blane can be Falcon's plus-one. But will their growing feelings undermine everything they’re building? 

Slick 

Life's a party, and the fleet’s youngest airline captain Roman White is all-or-nothing: a playboy who over-commits when he tries to settle down. World-touring dancer Oscar Brooks finds himself rebuilding his life, and Roman offers his spare room. But the chemistry between these free spirits is real...and the attraction grows. Can they break out of their patterns and chase their dreams together? 

Trace 

Scrawny, geeky forensic investigator Dustin Reed stopped believing in fairy tales. Leo Sanderson, glad to be home after a tour of duty, bumps into Dustin in a gay bar. Avoiding labels seems perfect: Leo's figuring himself out, and Dustin's unwilling to hand over his heart. Every fairy tale has to start somewhere - why not the bedroom? 

Clutch 

After crashing, cocky racing driver Tyler Joseph is sidelined at his best friend's farmhouse. Good thing there’s a hot little physical therapist to distract him. Alec Lands is a sucker for a pretty face, and Tyler's flirty, dirty, and stubborn as hell. He can't resist, even though it could end both their careers. Can they both resist hitting the brakes on their maybe-forever?

Tremble 

The last place Evan Vincent expected to be dumped was at his engagement shoot…in a dude ranch in Tennessee. Since he’s out of a house, job and relationship at once, ranch owner Josh King offers Evan a job. But Josh is hiding skeletons in his closet. They don’t know if they’re fighting to turn a rebound into more, or to keep it from becoming more. Is this the best timing ever, or the worst timing ever? 

Now available in this bundle, a novella about the first Significant Brothers wedding! 

Wintersweet

All the Significant Brothers are helping pull off the first brother’s wedding! Nico and Deen are getting married, and who better to help with wedding ring shopping, cake baking, and keeping the grooms calm before they walk down the aisle?

Sexually Explicit. Sweet. OTT

I heard few book friends talk about how much they've enjoyed Significant Brothers Series .

So when I saw, E. Davies teamed up with Greg Boudreaux and released ALL 6 Significant Brothers audiobooks plus 1 novella in one single bundle, that's 37 hours and 28 minutes for just 1 audio credit , I knew this was my opportunity to get them for cheap. Hey, just keeping real. LOL😂😁😀

Greg Boudreaux narration was awesome. His tone, voices and pace were perfect . His delivery was vivid , dramatic and engaging. Audio production was seamless and clean. He didn't just read a book , he embodied the characters and situations.

It took me few days to listen all the collection. Stories are entertaining , fun with easy going, uncomplicated plotlines. Written in a personal , intimate feel , with lot humour , witty and snarky banter. With medium to low levels of drama and angst ; SUPER , ÜBER high on LOTS of explicit hot AF sexy times and so much sweetness to put anyone in a diabetic coma. And of course, they all have well deserved HEA/HFN endings. Gave me all the feels.

Formulaic

They're all just the same to me. I listened to them back-to-back, and it just became so repetitive and predictable. The characters are barely distinguishable from one another except by their occupations. They're all sex-addled. They all fall in love almost immediately. They all can't communicate. They all want more of a relationship but are too afraid to say anything. They all are bad at dating and haven't done it in a while to the point that even minor compliments get a paragraph or two about how weird it is. Every story starts out with a "quickie" with some other guy. There's always a point of contention with another man being after one of the protagonists, but it's resolved very quickly.They all have very descriptive sex four or five times over the course of the book. I don't even know what most of them look like other than that they all are hot or ripped or small-framed "twinks."

The dialogue, too, I struggled with. There were just a lot of moments where I cringed, because people don't say things like this, "I don't think I can watch you suck down a noodle, because my noodle might get less limp." All they talk about is sex or relationships, and everything becomes an innuendo in their conversations. I wanted more depth. I wanted to feel more for the characters. Take Leo, for instance, in Trace. (SPOILER) His not being gay and mentioning virginity was intriguing. I perked up and thought to myself, "Oh, this is different! This might be fun." But then he just goes and has sex with Dustin in the same night he meets him, so what could potentially be a very interesting bit of turmoil that isn't just a jealous ex or some other guy is thrown away.

I don't know. I don't like to write negative reviews, and I really tried my best to like it. It's just that over time it started to really wear me down. It felt too shallow.

Like porn with middle school dialog.

This anthology takes the cake. It wins my award for "audiobook I requested a refund for after the least amount of time." Seriously. I am DUMBFOUNDED at the high ratings these books have. I'm incredulous.

Greg Boudreaux (aka Tremblay) is one of the finest narrators I have ever heard. His name is literally the main reason I purchased this. He does an amazing job no matter what he is reading. I have no complaints with him.

I think I *may* have made it to chapter 3, but that might be generous. From the very beginning, the story is just cringe-worthy sex. It's all the characters think about, talk about, or do. At all. The dialog sounds like it was written by a middle schooler. The characters have ZERO depth, even with all the hints of backstory. It might develop later but I can't force myself to listen to this, despite the narration.

If this is your cup of tea, more power to you I guess, but honestly, there are SO MANY BETTER STORIES out there, whether you want fluff or mystery or action with MM flavor. I want my credit back. This author is a pass for me.

Outstanding Series!

TBH, this is one of the best series I’ve listened too this year!

Set in and around Knoxville( yes! Tennessee) this series follows the lives of a group of men who have been friends since high school. An astronaut turned park ranger, a veterinarian, a race car driver, a forensic scientist, a dude ranch manager and a pilot, all still group text and meet frequently for drinks. This wonderful series is the culmination of them all meeting their significant others!

Highly recommended!

A well narrated collection

I listened to the first book a long time ago, and I rather liked it.
The narration by Greg Boudreaux was fantastic as always, his voice is like silk and his accent and talent with emotional timing are superb.

These books are fun, low angst, full of quirky characters and very, VERY steamy.
I think my favorite was book #2 because of all the cute zoo animals. The group of Significant Brothers is a lively one, I liked how they each had an interesting profession that was described and researched well.
It did seen like all the book followed the same pattern, and after listening to 6 in a row it got a bit old....
I would say these book are a great palate cleansers from more emotional reads.

One credit for 37+ hours of stories. Get it now!

I have been waiting for this bundle. 6 stories full of sweet moments, steamy AF scenes, friendship and camaraderie, chosen family a bonus novella. I love each story and I feel like one is my favorite until I listened to the next one.. and so on. This collection is fun and easy to listen to. Ears will turn hot during the sex scenes though. ^_~

Greg Boudreaux is one of my favorite narrators, he did an excellent delivery with this book. The voices were all unique and memorable.

Seriously, why would you pass up an opportunity to get 7 stories for one credit.

**thanks to GRR for the opportunity to listen and review**

Loved it

What a treat almost 38 hours of listening pleasure all for 1 credit. Why would you not pick this gem up? We get our brothers and all their wonderful lives all in one bundle. These books were absolutely wonderful and the characters were so loveable. Greg does an amazing job of bringing these stories to life for us.

Amazing!

Amazing! I loved all these couples so having a audio all in one place was fantastic to get me through my work day. Greg Boudreaux does a great job at each personality and tone; each book flowing into the other perfectly I love series bundles like this and it my new go to. Can't wait for the next.

Solid series

Great value. If you like this author, you’ll enjoy this bundle. Relatively low angst gay(b) love stories stories with best friends helping out, (with somewhat quick attachments & kind of overwrought emotional ponderings) are a pleasant way to spend several hours. Having a wedding novella at the end, with a chapter from each man’s point of view is a special bonus fans will enjoy.

Steam: Hot. M/M Sex is a focus in each story. It’s detailed on page, often from the start. All the guys seem to be verse, to some degree. There isn’t kink to speak of. Very sex positive and no sexual trauma.

Narration: I enjoy this narrator and think these many books were well done. I find him easy to listen to, with good prosody. One of the stories has more obvious retakes edited together but the sound quality throughout is nice & consistent, even with that.

It’s okay, but the Rileys were better

I’m glad the collection was sold as one unit but once I got to the end I wasn’t tempted to start over again straight away, like after listening to the Riley Brothers collection.

Greg Boudreaux did a great job of narrating, keeping all characters distinguished throughout the entire set.

Unlike the RB, I found this collection of friends just a little too diverse to be believable and it really grated on my nerves. An astronaut turned park ranger, a famous singer, a passenger plane pilot, a professional dancer, a zoological vet, a successful artist with a design business, a war vet turned photographer, a lab technician, a race car driver, a physiotherapist who only deals with high-profile sports stars (not to mention what he does with them on the side) and a dude rancher in a state that makes life somewhat uncomfortable for gay men. Characters don’t have to be big-profile to be engaging. Some of them sharing a workspace would be more believable. Interesting enough for a one-time listen, but can’t see myself going back for seconds.

37 and a half hours of LOVE

Greg's swoonworthy voice, made these books phenominial. The Significant brothers best friends from school finally meet their life partners. Book 1 has Astronaut Nick find love with a Singer Deen, who writes a song on how he feels. Book 2 Vet Blane meets an Artist Falcon at the zoo doing a pic for his sisters upcoming Wedding. Book 3 Pilot Blane meets Oscar a Dancer and love flies.Book 4 Forensic Investigator meets photographer Leo, home from his tour of duty, and now working at the same department as Dustin. Book 5 Flirty BTyler a Racing car driver meets Alec a Pysiotherapist after a Car accident. Book 6 sees Dude Ranch owner Josh, caring for a visitor who was dumped at his Engagement shoot Evan is beside himself, and with the help of Josh realises his Ex was a douche. And then the beautiful Novella Wintersweet, where we see couples getting Engaged and the first couple having a Fairytale Wedding with the help of all the Significant brothers. SUPERB

Great group of stories

This are such feel good stories but they all have a very emotional depth to them as well. Each character is super relatable and when delivered through Gregs narration it sounds like coming home. I can't get over how much you get for one credit. That alone is reason enough to grab them but the books are great too

Awesome

This was a great series of audiobooks.
I really enjoyed listening to these stories.
Definitely grab this awesome collection.

Brothers in heart

Significant brothers is a story of people finding their own family without blood connection. I love the concept of a family can be created not necessarily what your born in to.
All brothers find their love in different ways and they take care of each other on this journey
No unnecessary descriptions of surroundings
Good dialogues
Sweet attraction building up to love.

Narrator:
Clear pronunciation for the most part and read with feelings

5 stars overall

Loads of story for your credit

If you use credits then you can't go wrong with this purchase. Over 30 hours of excellent storytelling with a great narrator.
The stories all centre around a group of school friends as they find their happy ever afters.
This author always spins an excellent romance and these stories are no exception.
Highly recommended.

Just all round bad

This collection while a good idea is just really badly written. The "I love yous" happen way too fast. I found myself zoning out ALOT during all the stories. Also is it no longer possible for a character to convey something without a "flirtatious wink". Seriously I want to get these guys checked out by an optometrist I think they may all have a severe case of pink eye or something. I've come up with a new drinking game everytime a character winks I do a shot. I don't expect to be sober again till at least May 2021.
The narrator bless his little cotton socks, because he did try, was just awful. The accents for the characters was just awful. His show of character emotion was just so awful it was cringeworthy and took away from the story which it couldn't afford to do as it was just so badly written.
E. Davies is not an author I will be reading again.

Significantly beautiful

I absolutely loved this series.
A group of friends formed in high school.
We follow them through the trials and tribulations of life and love.
Full of humor, hurt, comfort, joy and absolutely sizzling hot chemistry between the couples.
Greg Boudreaux has of course done a brilliant job bringing this entire series to life.

WOW!

This is one of my favorite series ever, for many reasons but especially because the wonderful characters E Davies created in each one of the books. All the stories are about great people finding love in between a bit of angst to make everything more interesting and many hot scenes. But not only that, each story is about acceptance, first of oneself and then of others, is about confronting fears, insecurities and even huge obstacles to be truly happy... Really, every book in this collection is an amazing love story just perfect to have a very nice time while hearing them, not only because all the above, but also because, the outstanding job Mr Boudreaux made with the voices and interactions bringing characters and their emotions to life.

Fantastic collection!

37 hours and 28 minutes of E. Davies brilliant writing and fascinating array of characters voiced by Greg Boudreaux? Like I was ever going to pass on that! 

The Significant Brothers are a group of 6 gay/bi friends who've been best friends since high school. They meet once a week or so depending on their schedules and this collection follows each of them as they find love, including their boyfriends into their tight-knit group. 

From Nico and Deen, and passing through Blane and Falcon, Oscar and Roman, Dustin and Leo (my favorites), Alec and ending with Tyler and Josh, E. Davies managed to make me fall in love and care for each and every one of these guys. They're all different and yet, they're all looking for the same thing, someone to love and settle down with. 

Their stories were fun, with some light angst and a few not so nice characters that kept things interesting. The chemistry between all the couples was out of this world and the sexy times were all hot and varied, which seeing as I listened to all the stories one after the other in a few days, I definitely appreciated. 

Greg Boudreaux is such a gifted narrator. His performance was flawless, bringing forth a lot of emotion in the narration and giving each character a distinct voice, which wasn't easy with as many characters that are found here.

This is definitely an audiobook you don't want to miss out on!   

Great series

I really enjoyed listening to the Significant Brothers. I loved that I could listen to one after another, it feeds my love of series. They were light, fluffy and totally enjoyable. I really liked the narrator’s voice and pace. I would recommend this series. Almost 38 hours of listening, fantastic!
