Such an amazing series, we need the rest on audio!

In Andrew Reyes’ mind, fate has added insult to injury: not only did the plane crash kill his wife, it also stranded him on a Pacific desert island with out-and-proud gay man Logan McCall. Andrew has always been vocal in his dislike of gay people but he can’t help deferring to Logan, noticing Logan’s big muscly frame, and snuggling up to Logan at night. As the weeks and months go by, Logan feels frustrated with his sexual attraction to Andrew and especially when Andrew starts to initiate affection. When the two are eventually rescued, both men expect to pick up their lives where they left off but neither man counts on the strong co-dependent bond they’ve formed.

This is a classic enemies-to-lovers romance with the ultimate in forced proximity: the desert island. It’s largely Andrew’s redemption story; he is extremely unlikeable early on and it’s a credit to the author that she could salvage him so completely. The scenes on the island are amazing, well-written and utterly compelling. I didn’t enjoy the post-rescue story quite as much because there are A LOT of characters and subplots previously introduced in other books: this is the 11th in the Straight Guys series and it leans heavily on the 10th and 12th books, which is a problem for audiobook listeners since the only other audios are the 1st and 2nd. But, Alessandra Hazard can write and the chemistry between the two guys is sizzling. 🎧 US voice actor Nathaniel Gray is superb, capturing the emotions and the differences between the two leads perfectly!
