Story
Harrison Phillip Fletcher III isn't supposed to be here. Not in Burlington, Vermont, not running Vino & Veritas, a quaint inclusive bookstore and wine bar, and definitely not still alive, at 42. Also not supposed to be here? An unexpected delivery of chickens. Finn Barnes knows chickens. The burly organic farmer knows all about rare breed poultry, but dealing with a hot older bookseller is an entirely different matter. City-slicker types like Harrison never end up staying in Vermont for the long-term. They should steer clear of each other. But the flare of attraction is mutual.

Story
Life doesn’t always pan out as you expect. When it explodes in my face, literally, an old friend offers me a place to heal and a job renovating the kitchen of Burlington’s coolest wine bar. V&V is a chill fest. Living above it should be a blast. But I’m not built to be a social butterfly. Not anymore. I’m a damaged man. And I’m not its target clientele. At least, I think I’m not until I come face-to-face with the most beautiful human I’ve ever seen.

Story
When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

Payne. In search of: Room to rent. Must ignore the patheticness of a 40-year-old roommate. Preferably dirt cheap as funds are tight (nonexistent). There’s nothing sadder than moving back to my hometown newly divorced, homeless, and lost for what my next move is. When my little brother’s best friend offers me a place to stay in exchange for menial duties, I swallow my pride and jump at the offer. I need this. I also need Beau to wear a shirt. And ditch the gray sweatpants. And not leave his door ajar when he’s in compromising positions...

Conor: It starts with a drunken text pic. The kind I would normally never send. Only, instead of it going to the flirty hotel bartender, it goes to some random stranger who actually responds. Wells: The first thing I notice about Conor Newell when he sits down in my high-rise conference room is how delightfully nervous he is. Then I see his tie. The same geeky tie that’s held hostage on my phone. The one that belongs to my anonymous late-night texter. And it changes everything.

The job at Sunday Orchard was supposed to be temporary. A chance to gain some work experience, to have some fun. I had not expected to be welcomed into a family of gorgeous and weirdly efficient lumberjack-types, or to find purpose in the tiny Vermont town whose claim to fame seemed to be apple-based products and copious amounts of charm. And I most definitely hadn’t expected to fall for Knox Sunday, my grumpy, burly, fifteen-years-older, reluctant roommate, with his infuriating lectures, his hot-as-fire body, his superior attitude - I’ve never been one to put down roots.

Being an identical twin doesn't come without issues. No one can tell us apart, not even our parents sometimes. We don't usually use that to our advantage, but it comes in handy when my brother needs help breaking up with his boyfriends - which happens more than I'd care to admit. I know it's enabling him, but I can't say no to Anders. I will do anything for my twin. The breakups always go the same; they're swift and simple. Until Reed. When I give in to temptation, it's not because he's a guy. It's because he thinks I'm my brother, and I can't bring myself to tell him the truth.

Five years ago, I walked away from Sunbury, Oregon, and left my best friend behind. The move was supposed to get my life on track. I even had a list: Life changing epilepsy surgery. Check. See the world. Check. Get over my straight best friend... Not exactly. No matter where I go or who I meet, I can't let Tanner go. I'm back to tell him how I feel. To get the closure I need once and for all. Only now I'm here and falling for him all over again, it's getting harder to say the words. Because once I have my closure, I'll be gone. And this time it will be for good.

"Look out for Zach, and don't hit on him." My brother's request sounds easy enough. Keep an eye out for his best friend on campus and keep my hands to myself. Easy. Even if Zach is a quintessential nerd, who I've always thought was cute, I don't have the time to think with my...stick. There's only one stick I should be focused on this year, and that's my hockey stick. My goal once I graduate is to get an NHL contract. The last thing I need is a distraction. On or off the ice. Only, keeping to the rules is harder than I thought it would be.

I have to stop replaying the one night I spent with my rival. Trouble is, that white-hot encounter with the other quarterback answered a lot of questions I’ve had about myself, but it also led me into this mess where he hates me. I never showed up for our second date. Since, well, life happened, and the worst part is he’ll never know how much that night meant to me.

Publisher's summary
"It just figures that the first guy I'm bringing back to my place is cute, single, and totally off-limits...."
Sean Anderson has spent his life waiting to get the hell out of West Virginia. His plans got derailed when his dad shipped him off to "pray the gay away", but he's over it, ready to prove that he's a grown-ass man who can take care of himself. Of course, he'd have a better chance convincing himself if he could stop lusting after his grumpy roommate.
Army veteran Cooper Hill returned to Vermont minus one leg and one career, but determined to build a new life. When an army buddy asks Cooper to keep an eye on his nephew, a junior at the local college, Cooper can't say no. He's expecting a sheltered kid. What he gets is a gorgeous young man whose brilliant poetry gives voice to everything Cooper's been trying to express. He wants Sean more than he's ever wanted anything. And somehow, miraculously, Sean wants him too.
But wanting each other isn't the same as being good for each other...especially when past pain threatens to write its own verse in their song.
Contains mature themes.

The burly organic farmer knows all about rare breed poultry, but dealing with a hot older bookseller is an entirely different matter. City-slicker types like Harrison never end up staying in Vermont for the long-term. They should steer clear of each other. But the flare of attraction is mutual.

I’ve recently become the pawn of a meddling mom. Yes...a meddling mom - who's been trying to set me up all summer. Now, I understand it’s not a crime for a mother to want her child to fall in love, but when she makes it her relentless mission, the heinous act should be classified as a misdemeanor at least. Of course, my mom, the evil matriarch in the devil’s leggings, made her final stab at finding a girl for me days before I went back to college.

I didn’t think I had a chance with him until he started flirting with me and asking me questions like, “Who was the guy you were talking to?” and “Do you have a boyfriend?”

Story
The start of Lee Burrows and I was a college girl’s biggest fantasy. Campus’ most popular guy, the starting quarterback, the same guy I’ve crushed on forever, notices me—the quiet introvert. Although, he never would’ve noticed me if he didn’t need my help passing our biology class. I didn’t think I had a chance with him until he started flirting with me and asking me questions like, “Who was the guy you were talking to?” and “Do you have a boyfriend?”

Story
Theo Decker might be the lead singer of Riven, but he hates being a rock star. The paparazzi, the endless tours, being recognized everywhere he goes - it all makes him squirm. The only thing he doesn't hate is the music. Feeling an audience's energy as they lose themselves in Riven's music is a rush unlike anything else...until he meets Caleb Blake Whitman. Caleb is rough and damaged, yet his fingers on his guitar are pure poetry. And his hands on Theo? They're all he can think about. But Caleb's no groupie - and one night with him won't be enough.

“I’m a virgin. And you need to relieve me of that.” What respectable guy could say no to that? Yeah, she was my best friend. But she was also the hottest chick I’d ever known. I thought it would be simple. I thought we’d have a good time, then pretend like it never happened. It turns out, I was an idiot. Now, she wants nothing to do with me, but I’m determined. I’ve spent the last five years without her, and I refuse to waste another day.

Story
After that close-up of his package on the sailboat in Morocco, TMZ started calling him Crown Jewels. Not that I keep track of Prince Liam. Definitely don’t stalk him online like my friends do. I’m out of that scene now. My family’s reality show might still be running, but I’ve been off-screen for a while. When people pass me on the sidewalk, they might squint, but most of them don’t scream “Lucy Rhodes” and ask about my love of Lucky Charms or how my broken toe healed. Prince Liam - my stalking his Instagram - that’s just for fun. It’s my dirty little secret.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been the dark to my sister’s light - the awkward loner to her social butterfly. Growing up, she had it all: our parent’s unyielding approval, perfect grades, a permanent spot at the popular table, and the attention of the hottest guy ever - Duke Kincaid. After 18 years of living in her shadow, I couldn’t wait to escape - to finally be my own person. Yet here I am - back in my hometown, once again in Valorie’s shadow. Only now, it’s eternal.

Harrison Phillip Fletcher III isn't supposed to be here. Not in Burlington, Vermont, not running Vino & Veritas, a quaint inclusive bookstore and wine bar, and definitely not still alive, at 42. Also not supposed to be here? An unexpected delivery of chickens. Finn Barnes knows chickens. The burly organic farmer knows all about rare breed poultry, but dealing with a hot older bookseller is an entirely different matter. City-slicker types like Harrison never end up staying in Vermont for the long-term. They should steer clear of each other. But the flare of attraction is mutual.

Life doesn’t always pan out as you expect. When it explodes in my face, literally, an old friend offers me a place to heal and a job renovating the kitchen of Burlington’s coolest wine bar. V&V is a chill fest. Living above it should be a blast. But I’m not built to be a social butterfly. Not anymore. I’m a damaged man. And I’m not its target clientele. At least, I think I’m not until I come face-to-face with the most beautiful human I’ve ever seen.

In fact, the brooding, boy-next-door cutie is clearly hell-bent on being miserable. Though he's here with his best friend, he doesn't seem interested in hook-ups. Or fun. The guy brought a book to this beach full of gorgeous single gay men, for crying out loud. Who does that?? And as if he couldn't be any more confusing, he seems superhumanly immune to anyone who flirts with him. Myself included.

I LOL. I Cry. Worthwhile.
This was a story that has age gap and firsts. The beginning chapters had me ROTFL. As the story progressed, I was surprised at the turn and the direction the story began to unfold. It was refreshing albeit, a heart tugging tear jerking ride. Worth seeing to the end.

Sad and Sweet Story
I like all of the Vino & Veritas series but I think this one so far is the most unique situation. All are coping with situations and still exploring their sexuality but this one was sad and touched on issues I’ve never experienced or even really thought about. I am not gay but I think everyone could benefit from understanding the trials people go through just because they feel differently than others. I hope anyone who go through what Shawn went through and experience PTSD get the help and therapy they need. We all deserve to be happy in this life and no one should be able to tell you that the way they think is more correct than the way you think/feel.

Good story. Good narration.
This book was one of my favorites from the Vino and Veritas series. Cooper and Sean have an entertaining dynamic. They are very different, but they fit well into each other's lives. Cooper is an army veteran, and the author does a wonderful job of using his experiences to incorporate into the book some useful info about military life that isn't always common knowledge for the general public. Sean's life experiences offer up some very painful social commentary. Getting to know both characters was a worthwhile experience.
Overall, I enjoyed the story and the narration, but some moments in this book reminded why I don't usually like first person point of view. I feel dreadfully uncomfortable hearing a character's internal dialogue describing their own six pack abs. It feels a bit egocentric even if it is a factual description. I think the narrative flowed more smoothly when the internal dialogue was referring to another character.
If you have read AE Wasp's Veterans series, you will recognize a couple of the characters who appear in this book. They were a nice addition to the story, and for new commers to the author's work, a sneak peak at an interesting series by the author. I hope we get a chance to hear more from all the characters in this book, and I look forward to more narration performed by Chris Chambers.

Broken soul
It always saddens me when I hear about a pretty soul that’s been broken by a broken world. The simple fact that people have a mean bone in their body to be able to hurt another is sad. I’m happy that in the end he found himself, but he shouldn’t have had to go through what he did. Sad story.

Ohhhh my god!
This book is amazing! Now I have purchased all of the audio books in the series and I’ve been disappointed by a few of them. But this book
Has blown me away! I’m going to try to put it as succinctly as possible. Yes, each main character has a “personal demon” and the author does amazing job of laying them out quietly and expertly BUT without the angst that same authors insist on beating you with ….
I don’t want to post any spoilers so I will just say you have to listen to this book! The story is perfect & the narrator is fantastic!!
I have to make a point also about the way the author ends the story .. like life …there’s not a quick fix, the journey of living isn’t a straight road . Such a great book !!!!

Overpolitical
Young, naive Sean has a lot of questions about being gay. Cooper has a lot of answers that mostly involve getting offended very easily and lecturing Sean about why he's a bad person. I've been unimpressed with every entry in the Vino and Veritas series (with the exception of the first one, Roommate) and after this one, which started out very promising, I'm finally going to just give up on the whole thing. Even books in the series by authors I like (such as A. E. Wasp, as it happens) just feel like reading an epic Twitter thread written by someone with blue hair who calls themself queer and spells the word "woman" with an X. No thank you.
Here's an example: Sean and Cooper go to the titular bar/bookstore, and Sean makes the mistake of casually referring to it as a gay bar. Cooper immediately pontificates (and I'm quoting): "First of all, it's not a 'gay bar,' it's just a bar that makes a point of being welcoming and inclusive to people of all races, sexes, genders, and gender expressions. Got it?" Ok dude, chill out. 99% of the world would call Vino & Veritas a gay bar, INCLUDING ME and literally every gay guy I know. In fact, I'm actually slightly insulted at the implication that there's anything wrong with the phrase "gay bar," so points off for that, Ms. Wasp. Also I think it's interesting that a gay man wouldn't include "sexual orientation" in that list (and include race for some reason), but I guess we're actually pretty far down the hierarchy of identity politics, so I shouldn't be too surprised.
I've been out of the closet for about twenty years now, and I never thought I would say this, but I'm actually jealous of straight people who get to read romance novels that actually focus on the romance. Lately it seems like every book I read or listen to is a treatise written by some know-it-all straight woman trying to educate me about the LGBT community. I get that the actual audience for these books consists mostly of straight women, but I honestly can't help but feel a little insulted that someone is trying to lecture me about my own thing. And I can't imagine that it goes over well with the straight women being targeted, either, but I guess they sell ok. I'm not going to return this audiobook because, you know, it's like the sixth book I've bought in this series that had the same problem, and caveat emptor and all, but I am going to Amazon.com to get them to delete it so it doesn't clutter up my library.
Incidentally, I'd be remiss if I didn't point out the unbelievably good narration by Chris Chambers. There's no need for a dual narration when one person can play both roles so convincingly. He's so good I'm going to search for another book he's narrated to cleanse my palate.

A bit much, but it has its moments
So, the level of angst is way too much. I mean, being kidnapped as a young adult by your Father and sent to a conversion camp. What?!? Nah...police weren't called? What?? That's over the top...this isn't the 60s. The good, Stump the dog, Sean's teacher, Cooper, everything about him. His patience, his flaws, and his disability was not looked at as unattractive but just part of his beautiful package. So overall, a mix bag but I finished it and for the most part, enjoyed it.
