About this listen
Ryan:
After my divorce to Barb, my life has been just me, my little boy, and my job. Some people might call me overprotective, but as the sheriff of Umberland, I know a lot more than they do about what can happen when you let down your guard. When my high school best friend Christian comes to visit, sure, I remember experimenting with him as teenagers, but what I can't ignore is the fierce attraction that still burns between us.
What's even more, Christian makes me feel safe and protected - something I do for everyone else.
I've never been attracted to a man since Christian...but as soon as I lay my eyes on him, I don't think I'll be attracted to anyone else ever again.
Christian:
I knew I was gay forever, it seems. But my first love was the one that stuck with me all these years: Ryan Rainier. He's a big deal in the police department now, and as a man in uniform, he's every bit as gorgeous as he was in those young years.
But Ryan's straight, right? So why does he keep looking at me that way, with hunger in his eyes?
Am I just seeing what I want to see? And can I risk losing a lifelong friend for a shot at love?
Breaking In is the second audiobook in the Rainier Family series and can be listened to on its own. Full of trusty, lusty, second-chance love, breaking down walls, Rainiers for days, and a whole big, bustling small-town family waiting for its HEA.

Good but patchy backstories
Christian returns to his home town of Umberland to see if his best friend and high school crush, Ryan, is interested in a relationship. Ryan is a single parent after divorcing his wife. After the excellent Letting Go, I felt this was patchy. There’s no explanation why Christian doesn’t have any family or old friends in town other than Ryan - Christian seems like an incomplete character. There’s no explanation of why Ryan and Christian stopped their secret relationship years ago. The inevitable relationship obstacle was that annoying non-communication trope where everyone is assuming the wrong thing but no one says how they’re feeling, it didn’t feel believable. On the plus side, Ryan was a well-formed character, I could see his motivations and thought-processes. I found the disagreements with Ryan’s ex-wife and her new boyfriend riveting and the homophobia in the town was worth exploring - Ashton Cade always adds good drama. Michael Dean / Pauley narrated well, I’m enjoying his work more and more.
