About this listen
In this village, I’m an outcast: Griffin Everett, the scowling giant who prefers plants to people. Then I meet Keynes, a stranger from the city who’s everything I’m not: sharp-tongued, sophisticated, beautiful. Free. For a few precious moments in a dark alleyway, he’s also mine, hot and sweet under the stars...until he crushes me like dirt beneath his designer boot.
When the prettiest man I’ve ever hated shows up at my job the next day, I’m not sure if I want to strangle him or drag him into bed. Actually - I think I want both. But Keynes isn’t here for the likes of me: He makes that painfully clear. With everyone else at work, he’s all gorgeous, glittering charm - but when I get too close, he turns vicious.
And yet, I can’t stay away. Because there’s something about this ice king that sets me on fire, a secret vulnerability that makes my chest ache. I’ll do whatever it takes to sneak past his walls and see the real man again.
The last thing I expect is for that man to ruin me.

Story is OK but Narration is not!
This book has some good back story for the characters and I love Talia Hibbert books! However one of the narrators, the one that reads Olu is difficult to listen to when he does the Griff's voice! In his ordinary voice which sounds like SEAL its fine - I could listen to him all day and night, but for some inexplicable reason he narrates the 27 yr old Griff with the voice that sounds like a 70 yr chain-smoker! (Sounded a bit like Jim on the Vicar of Dibley!) It was cringing at times and as much as I want to hear the story, I'd dread when his narration started. I'm not sure why the other guy didn't read the whole book, he could handle both characters equally well. Doesn't put me off other Talia Hibbert books though, she's still a fave author.

4.5 stars
4.5 stars I own nearly every book this author has ever released so I thought it was beyond past time I dipped into said backlist. And this was a good choice to get started. Griffin and Olu had an intense connection, but due to baggage on both sides, they really have to Work For It. They are both keeping so much of themselves back for various and sundry reasons, and honestly one of the side characters in this is utterly ghastly, but seeing those grumpy but secretly soft boys open up for each other made my cold heart warm a degree or two. I might need to find a whole week to get the rest of this backlist read. Content warnings include: anxiety and depression, small village treating one of their own absolutely horrible over years, ableism, sex on-page; mentions of parental death, suicide, forced outing, homophobic parents disowning child for being gay, sharing of intimate photos without consent, blackmail, murder, abusive parents.

Did not finish at 50 %
I had no good picture of the mc's characters and found the plot utterly boring.
May be because I did not read the previous novels.
Narration was good.

A little off but still enjoyable
Chance Thoreou's Griff sounded a lot different than Shane East ofc. maybe the casting shpuld have been the other way round. I can imagine Chance's voice a lot better as Griff, and Shane would have beem a better Olu. So sometimes Chance's "Griff" threw me off, although I really like his timbre and I still enjoyed the audiobook.
I must add the quality of the production was also changing throughout. Sometimes louder, sometimes quieter, it was not the performance but the sound quality.
The story is one of my favourite, I totally recommend it.
