as good as the ebook

The story is always 4 or 5 stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook.

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, 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

New author and narrator for me. Enjoyed the story and the way Tony brought it to life. It is a good example of finding your way through a terrible tragedy and getting your happy every after.

interesting read

This novel was different from my normal reading material but still enjoyable. The narrator voice for one of the main Characters Lynx threw me a little. I also enjoyed the story of forgiveness of himself that Chis had to do. The story brought a different light to the porn industry and the relationship that can form between actors.

Story letdown by poor narration

Gay for Pay was a great story unfortunately letdown by poor narration. The narrator reads as if he is reading a book not acting out a scene, the pacing was much too fast, with minimal inflection, which unfortunately distracted me so much that if I had not been invested in the characters of the story I would have given up listening.

A sweet start to a sexy series

I enjoyed this look into the world of Porn Site's and their day to day workings.
All Cock's is a gay porn site that employs lots of different models for filming.
This first story gives a glimpse into the characters that own and run All Cock's (great name).
It introduces Kris , who's life has been turned upside down after a tragedy. Just when he
was at rock bottom he sees a flyer about All Cock's looking for models to work in the industry.
Could this be his chance at getting control of his life , and getting off his friend's couch?
Why not? It pays well enough.
But there is just one tiny problem, Kris is straight.
Can he be gay for pay? Or is there something that he is hiding?

All l can say about the narration is that l'm glad they changed it for the rest of the series .

Flawed ex-footballer finds love unexpectedly!

One bad decision by Chris led the death of his girlfriend and he has been paying the price ever since. Desperate for money and despite being straight, Chris joins m/m online adult production company, All Cocks, and surprisingly, he finds redemption and love. The premise of this story was great: flawed ex-footballer joins an accepting group of adult entertainers and experiences a bisexual awakening. Because the story focuses so heavily on Chris coming to terms with his guilt and time with the production company, there isn’t as much focus on the blossoming relationship so it didn’t feel as real as it could. The audio narrator is particularly clunky in his delivery, not doing the text any favours. This shouldn’t put you off a great series.

I received free copies of the first two audiobooks in this series from the author in exchange for honest reviews.

A sweet story

The blurb made me curious and therefore I was already very excited about this series.
Chris had a promising future ahead of him until a fatal mistake changes everything. The dream of his career is gone and his private life no longer exists. Therefore, he moved to New York to friends, where by chance a flyer for sex on camera jumps out at him. Why not, Chris has nothing left to lose and now performs under his stage name Kris Alen. Nothing speaks against Gay for Pay.
At Al Cocks he meets Linc, who also has his problems. The two get along well. Is Chris perhaps not as straight as he thought? Because he finds Linc quite attractive. But can Linc trust Chris?

I liked "Gay for Pay" very much. The story is told from alternating perspectives and in flashbacks the listener learns about the mistake Chris made and how things went after the accident. I found both Chris and Linc likeable. They are both interesting characters and the story was told with a lot of empathy. I just would have liked a little more depth and a little more development of Kris and Linc's relationship, it went a little fast.

The audiobook was narrated by Tony Clark. A narrator who is new to me. He was basically not bad, but not oustanding either. He gave everyone their own voice and also tried to get the emotions across, which he didn't always manage to do one hundred percent. Still, the audiobook was quite nice to listen to.
The story entertained me wonderfully and I'm already looking forward to the next volume.

New to me author and narrator

New to me, author and narrator

I was fortunate to receive both audiobooks 1 and 2 of this series for an honest review.

At first, I found it hard to get into the book, but then I settled down and enjoyed it.

A gay for pay, first gay relationship and gay for you. I like the characters and felt the story was a good start to the series.

The narrator, also new to me, was a little hard going, not the most fluid reader that I have listened to. He also read quite quickly, which is good for me, but I can see if some people don't agree.
