Patient older guy wins over a small yappy guy!

Pint-sized Kevin is physically attracted to the big and beefy Hank but he can’t forgive Hank for treating his best friend, Lukas, badly when they were boyfriends. Even though Lukas has long-forgiven Hank, Kevin has taken it upon himself to continue to hold the grudge. Luckily Hank is extremely patient, even admiring of Kevin’s loyalty to his best friend. But each time Hank thinks they’ve made progress, Kevin falls back into the same pattern.

It’s been a while since I listened to the previous audios in this series so I didn’t have strong views about Hank—here he seems almost saintly in his patience, whereas Kevin comes across as belligerent for no good reason. The author does eventually explain Kevin’s state of mind, however, and that does confirm to Hank that he should stay the course. There was a lot of contrast between Hank & Kevin: unflappable vs emotional, two size-differences, age-gap, and financial gap and there were some great steamy scenes, but I found Hank’s constant flirting and terms of endearment to an angry Kevin a little creepy, not my cup of tea. 🎧 I also found Kirt Graves’ audio narration less enthusiastic than usual—something that’s never happened before. I’m perfect willing to accept that I mightn’t have been in the right frame of mind for this but, for now, it was my least favourite book in the series.
