Summary
Elias:
Moving to Daleport City to work at the local fire station was going to be hard. Then I met Cade. Turns out, I’d met my new best friend, and for two years, he’s been by my side through everything. The guys tease us about how close we are, but we’re straight, just good friends. Then Cade and I found ourselves having to pretend to date, pretend to be attracted to one another…And then we stopped pretending.
Cade:
As if having a female stalker and a harpy for a mother wasn’t enough, I’m also in a fake relationship with my best friend? Then we ended up kissing…and more. Elias is straight, I’m straight, and we suddenly want to do not so straight things. That’s pretty much where I am now. So tell me… what am I supposed to do?
Elias and Cade, two straight firefighters and best friends, find themselves in a fake relationship that leads both men into territory they’ve never ventured into before. Can their friendship survive? Will they ever want to go back?

Two decent guys make it work!
Elias and Cade are firefighters, best friends, and straight. When Cade pretends he and Elias are boyfriends to extricate himself from a predatory encounter, they must keep up the charade by fake dating ... until it becomes less fake. So three tropes: friends to lovers, fake dating, and gay for you. Fake dating is not my favourite trope but I actually liked this a lot. The guys were highly likeable, fought an actual fire, and very comfortable with each other, so the premises didn’t stretch credulity beyond breaking point. It was light and fluffy, but I liked the subplot tensions with Cade’s mother and would have welcomed more with the antagonistic coworkers. Most of all, I liked how the guys were open-minded and worked at the relationship. 🎧 Keith Smith’s narration was light and breezy, which matched the tone of the book, but I could have done with slightly more emotion.

Too Good
Another story by Romeo Alexander that I loved. The characters were amazing and Keith Smith did a super job with the narration. Can't wait to revisit Port Dale in book 2.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

as good as the ebook
The story is always 4-5 stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook. I can't listen to an audiobook without knowing the book, that's not possible for me.
The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. It took me a little bit, to come into the narrator, but at the end, it worked. I only have to take a few breaks between. I'm just not yet finish with the book, I’m over the half, but I listen enough to give a review.
PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!
To my ratings:
5* - very very good
it's like an A+
4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A
3* - it's more then a one-time-listening.
it's like a B

Excellent!
I loved this dual Gay For You, Fake dating story. The characters were so incredibly well written and the plot was sweet and spicy. I really enjoyed all the moments, the touches and the dialogue throughout the story. The author brought the sorry together and made an endearing story of self discovery and love. I enjoyed the narration, and look forward to more from this narrator.

Low angst
I found this to be a really interesting story, with two best friends who work together, hang out together, sometimes sleep in the same bed together, but are both straight. When one of them gets cornered one night, the other steps in and says he's his boyfriend and things get messy from there.
With both of them figuring out how they feel and what they want there is support from all around.
I liked that the communication between them didn't really ever get in the way of their being together. Elias was honest and open and willing, which was exactly what they needed to progress. I enjoyed their relationship and was excited for the HEA.

Story is good, pity about the narrator
I've read this story previously and really enjoyed it. It's such a pity Kevin Smith who is the narrator is as dull as ditch water and enough to put anyone asleep. It unfortunately doesn't do the story any justice at all.

Yikes!
Would not be surprised if someone said this was written by AI. There's zero umph, no emotion, no depth.
I had to force myself not to DNF. Just sped it right up 🙄
The narrator sounded like an assistive reader or something. The monotone 🥱😴

Poor narration
Alas, the narration was so poor that the performer would forget the American accent every 3 sentences and drop into his native West England (Somerset) accent. (A couple of times he slurred into an Irish accent, then remembering where he was would jerk back into his American one. I barely remember the story line, (although it sounded a humourous tale) as I was too busy recovering from whiplash, as he linguistically zigzagged back and forth across the Atlantic (for a story that was firmly set in the states) My only query is "When is Audible going to implement Sobriety testing for narrators before setting them loose in a studio" ??
