About this listen

When they were only teenagers, Axel and Caxton were caught making out in the woods at church camp. And afterward, Cax had disappeared from all the youth group activities.

Six years later Axel is astonished to spot his first love's face in the crowd of a college basketball game he's watching on television - at a school that has just offered him a job. It's a thousand miles away, in a tiny rural town. But suddenly he can't wait to get there.

Cax can't believe his eyes when Axel appears in the same Massachusetts town where he now lives. And he's still just as drawn to him as ever. But he can't let himself go there again, because loving Axel will mean giving up everything else he holds dear.

Both men have so much to lose. But as far as their love is concerned, it's Hello Forever.

Got a bit bored

I returned this one as I won't listen again. By the end I just wanted it to end. Story was predictable, sweet, but predictable. Just got bored by about half way but persevered.
The two main characters Ax and Cax - kind of confusing too

Fast paced ending

Great story. The narrators gave life to the characters. I felt that the violent incident experienced by Axel should’ve been explored further. The end of this story felt a little rushed, it was great to have Caleb and Josh included- it was a wonderful to have characters brought into the next phase of their lives.

Enjoyed narration but wished there was more story

Book was okay didn’t so much enjoy how Axel didn’t have any back bone through the whole book. Wished it was longer as I wasn’t satisfied with the ending. But as always narration by these two was great.

That one time at church camp…

Getting caught kissing in the woods, Caxton’s homophobic father takes him home, moves town and forces him to stop all contact. That is until 6 years later when Axel spots his face in the crowd at a basketball game on the TV at the same college he had a job offer from and that’s when he decided to take it.

Another good one, sweet and romantic but also filled with rawness and heartache, ugh so so good! The storyline was just enough although there could have been a bit more detail and explanations but eh. I also LOVED that Josh and Caleb were such big parts of this story, it made my heart warm knowing their life was filled with love👏🏼

I can say that Dake Bliss who was the narrator for Caxton did a million times better in this book then the first book which I was grateful for!

Loved this!

Romance novels are the literary equivalent of dessert - often gooey, sometimes sticky, always sweet - and who doesn’t like dessert? I’ve enjoyed every Sarina Bowen m/m novel I’ve read. I warm to the characters, I find the plots engaging, and I’m hooked on the happily ever afters! Teens, Axel and Cax meet during church activities only to have their friendship derailed. Years later Axel wants to reconnect, while Cax fears the fallout of a relationship will have on his repressed family. Delicious narration by the best in the business!

Another great listen from Sarina Bowen

Well crafted characters are in the wheelhouse of Sarina Bowen. Hello Forever is no different. Teddy Hamilton is again superb but I’m afraid Dake Bliss is wooden and boring again. Still worth the listen though. The characters are excellent.
