About this listen

I’ve spent 44 years of my life telling the world I’m a carpet man. Is it too late to admit to myself and everyone else that deep down I’m really all about the hardwood?

It took me over 35 years to admit to myself that I’m gay, another seven to find the courage to say it out loud to anyone else, and exactly 30 seconds to develop a massive crush on my daughter’s music teacher. It’s really not my fault. Have you even seen those cute bowties he wears?

After everything it’s taken to get here, am I going to work up the nerve to come out to my ex-wife and my best friends?

Am I ready to shake up my comfortable, simple life and take a chance on Watson? Or, am I going to throw a wrench in my own chance for happily ever after?

Hardwood is a steamy, seriously with so much delicious tension, single-dad, gay awakening, low angst story, which happens to be the third in the Four Bears Construction Series. It can be listened to as a stand-alone. There are no shifters in this series, only the other kind of bears.

It gets harder the longer you stay in the closet!

One of my favourite Four Bears Construction stories - I’m always a sucker for an older, closeted guy embracing his authentic self! Everett loses his ‘only straight in the village’ status when he finally admits that he’s gay to his daughter’s bow-tie-wearing music teacher, Watson. Watson is happy to guide Ev through his first gay experiences while trying not to fall for him. I know other reviewers were frustrated by Ev’s lack of communication and his ambivalence about coming out to friends and family, but I felt his fear and confusion captured the older, closeted experience well - the longer you’ve spent digging the hole, the harder it is to climb out. Both men were nice guys, with Watson being particularly patient and decent. The vibrator scene was hilarious and I enjoyed the dynamic between Ev and his daughter. Audio narrators, Liam DiCosimo (Watson) and Tim Paige (Ev) performed well.

The teacher!

Really excellent narration, hearing a man trying to come to grip with his life and how he denied his true self for many years until he meets the one.
