Thunderstruck

Toronto Thunder, Book 4

By: Beth Bolden

Narrated by: Darcy Stark

When Lane realizes he’s attracted to his straight stepbro, he’s absolutely thunderstruck . . .

It’s not the worst day of Lane’s life when his team, the Toronto Thunder, drafts his baby stepbro, Trevor, but it’s close.

No. The worst day was when his mom married Trevor’s dad. Trevor’s just too good, too naïve, too sheltered. Too hot.

Lane might claim he wants nothing to do with him, but that’s the worst delusion of all. He’s always wanted everything to do with Trevor. Even when they have zero in common. Even when Trevor’s always been on the straight and narrow. Literally.

Lane’s the total opposite. He’s walked—and danced and sashayed—to the beat of his own drum, forever. Mentoring Trevor now that they’re on the same team? Sounds like his idea of hell—and heaven, too. There’s a reason their teammates call them the demon twins.

But with the final few games of the season and the Thunders’ playoff run looming, Lane’s self-control is weaker than ever. Especially when Trevor confesses that he’s been thinking about it, too.

Suggesting Trevor experiment with their mutual attraction would be a terrible idea, but Lane’s had worse, and that’s never stopped him before.

And when it becomes way more than just sex? When Trevor becomes the first guy he wants to see in the mornings and the last thing before he goes to bed at night? When they’re so completely entangled together that he couldn’t get free, even if he wanted to?

That’s a special kind of thunder.

such a good book!!

lane and trevor!! i love them so so much. i loved the yearning and pining, the bi awakening, the forced proximity, STEP BROTHERS!! i mean what could go wrong! i’m obsessed!!

i loved their dynamic and how lane was just there for trevor throughout his discovery and their journey. they were so sweet and it was so hot, getting their hooking up and slowly coming into their feelings for one another.

darcy stark did such a fantastic job with this audiobook. i truly love him narrating these books and this was no exception! truly great!

Finally the Demon Twins

I loved the book but I enjoy these narrations even more.
In this one I love that there are several distinct voices and you can just feel all tge emotions and some actions. I even flinch sometimes on the field.

An Awkward Situation that Felt So Relatable!

Ok Lane and Trevor were over the top romantic. They took an awkward situation and made it so real and full of emotion. Poor Lane felt like he had to keep his distance from Trevor, but Trevor was a crush away from making them connect. I loved all the domestic times with the living together. I actually kind of liked that they were more distant when they were younger, it made the new relationship separate and stronger. Darcy has that perfect narrative voice that brings out the personalities and emotions while connection you to the guys.

Demon Twins

*grumpy/sunshine *stepbrothers *football romance *found family *forced proximity *demi rep

Stepbrother romances have always drawn me in because they have that touch of forbidden / taboo quality to them.

I enjoyed listening to Darcy Stark bring this 4th addition of the Toronto Thunder series to life by Beth Bolden that focuses on the “Demon Twins” as Trev and Lane have been fondly nicknamed by their found family. I easily connected with the characters and my interest was held all the way through the end.

It can be enjoyed as a standalone but will be more enjoyable if you read / listen to the series from the beginning. I look forward to listening to more from this series, narrator and author!

Great World building and a great cast of characters! I love how the team supports one another and the fun banter between them. There is pining and a push and pull between Trev and Lance. The story did feel a bit drawn out but one could say that it helps the reader feel the weight of complex emotions that Lane has held onto all this time.

Thank You to the author and team for the ALC.

Pining for You

Dee’s Grade: A+

I love Lane and Trevor! Clueless stepbrothers is always so much fun. Communication could have changed the trajectory of this story but the author made use really understand the characters fear.

This book was so good especially because it doesn’t just go the expected routes on some of premises.

The narrator did a fantastic job.
