Summary

Gideon

When my marriage fell apart, and I lost custody of my kids, my world shattered. My own fault, all of it, from the pills I was taking to how badly I handled the court case. I retreated to my grandparents’ old home, shut the door, and hunkered down with my Labrador Retriever, Lucky. Life is rough, and the constant construction noise from the mansion going up next door will truly be the end of me.

Archer

I've never met the man living next door until a storm forces me to take refuge with him. Gideon's skittish, generous, and oddly endearing. I’m dismayed the construction of my post-divorce home has been so upsetting for him, but there’s little I can do to ease that distress. What I can do, though, is use my skills as a talented divorce attorney to help with the most painful part of his life, the unfair custody arrangement that keeps him from being with his kids.

Gideon’s Gratitude is an small-town, opposites attract, hurt-comfort gay romance about a former longshoreman who believes he’s broken and the lawyer who believes there’s life after divorce.

Story: I liked the MCs the author created in this story - their backgrounds were intriguing and unique. The plot however lacked some more angst for me - for how complicated the story seemed, it all felt a wee bit too easy for my taste,
The writing was good and I liked the cast of characters, guess it's just my personal preference for more grit with characters like these.
Narration: Good performance. Easy to follow, with good distinction between the characters.

Good story with interesting characters

Gideon's Gratitude is the fifth book in Gabbi Grey's addicting Love in Mission City series. You can read these books in any order, but characters from previous episodes do pop up now and again. I've read them all but I think you'd be fine with reading the Love in Mission City stories as standalones.

If you have a chance, check out Archer's Awakening: A Love in Mission City Short Story which is a prequel and also available in audio. It is a nice intro to Archer's character. You'll want Gideon's Gratitude downloaded and ready to go if you do though!

This is a real hurt/comfort romance for both men, and it was a total pleasure to watch these two find their happily ever afters.

The audio version of Gideon's Gratitude is nicely performed by Michael Dean.

Lovely Romance, Great Job by M. Dean

I enjoyed the listen. I liked the story, and the narrator did a good job. I’d recommend especially when in the mood for a lighter insta story.

This was a tough one for me! It was absolutely amazing with 5 stars, but as a person who is chronically ill with chronic pain and chronic fatigue, I really saw myself in Gideon! When his pain and loneliness is described and talked about, I started crying and had tears in my eyes for a lot of the first half of the book. It is clear that research into chronic pain had been done!!!

I loved that Gideon got his HEA and that Archer not only understood him but supported him on his terms. He was a true partner to Gideon. I cannot rave enough about this book! It was absolutely amazing❤️

Absolutely amazing 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
