Great adaptation of a super book.....

4.5 stars. Loved the book and loved the audio book too. Narrated by a newbie on the block to me, Craig Beck, but he did a grand job as Jake would say, Jake being the glue that held Tom and Cass together when life simply got in the way of their established relationship, and made them forget what they meant to each other for a little while. I thought the effort that Craig put in to get Jake's Tourette's Syndrome and the resulting pops, clicks, buzzes and swearing was spot on, as was Garrett's research for the story. 4.5 stars from me.

Brilliant narration of a fantastic book - loved it!

This audio is so good! I had already read the paperback and loved it and I'm not a regular MMM reader (I can't get my head round not being jealous of the third person or feeling like someone always gets left out). However, what makes this stand out is that it was so incredibly believable. The fact that Jake struggled to get his head round Cass and Tom's relationship made it strangely ok that I did too, and as he came to grips with their dynamic I felt completely taken along for the ride.

This is a wonderful tale which is beautifully written and fantastically narrated. The alternating POV is managed brilliantly and I felt like I was listening to three different perspectives and thoughts, not just three different voices. Having read this before I had my own 'world' going on in my head, but listening to it had me realising bits I hadn't really picked up when I read the book - it brought a vulnerability to Tom who was always the strong one to me, and highlighted the way Jake meshed them all together.

I really loved this and would recommend it to anyone who even slightly liked the book (because the audio is like the HD version!) and anyone who us not a typical MMM reader, as I think this book truly works for anyone reading the MM genre who doesn't usually get on with/reads MMM.

Romance at it's finest

Having read a lot of MM books in past few month, mostly based on characters in US, it was very refreshing to read a book based in Britain and having a good narration was amazing bonus too. Amazing story that makes it difficult to stop reading it.
Felt more real to, as some of MM can be too ful of sex and not enough emotions for me, this was perfect.

Great MMM story

I really enjoyed the story between Tom, Cass and Jake. The relationship between the men is slow building and well writen. The narrator is brilliant with the character voices for each man. Especially Jake's northern accent.

It's a great passionate feel good story with a HEA

Forgot how much I loved this book!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This book is great, it's one of Garrett Leigh's less angsty titles (less angsty not not angsty!) And it's nice to have an English book read by an English narrator

Who was your favorite character and why?

You have to love Jake, he is a great character and he isn't totally defined by his TS which is nice

What about Craig Beck’s performance did you like?

Sorry to Craig but I'm being a purest here! As a cockney born and bred I can tell you he doesn't quite nail Cas's accent, but it isn't so bad I couldn't listen so I forgive him, he is very good with Jake's northern accent, not being from Leeds I can't tell you how accurate it was, and reading a book with 3 characters with different accents can't have been easy. I also particularly love his interpretation of Jake's fly me to the moon tick, which was great but different to how I had read it in the book to myself.The one bit he did wrong and although very small it annoyed me as it would be an easy thing to check, was when he sang the first couple of lines of 'I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles', the West Ham football song. I get that he didn't grow up with his family singing it in his ear like Cas and I did but 30 seconds on you tube would have done it. And he clearly knows the song Fly Me to the Moon

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did laugh at points in the book and whilst I didn't cry there were sad bits. Usually Garrett rips your heart out of your chest throws it in the gutter and stamps on it, fortunately this is one of her 'lightheated' books lol

Any additional comments?

A good story, well narrated and produced. Worth the listen :-)

This book had everything just right amount. Drama, love and three hot men with steamy scenes. Readers accent was cherry on cake. Overall great listen and recommend.

Did not finish, but really like the ebook

The story is one of my favorite rereads, so I took a chance and bought the audiobook. But it's not for me. Jake has a dull, emotionless voice, which doesn't fit his fiery, independent character. But the worst were the sex scenes, read by Craig like he was watching birds nest.
