About this listen

Pursuing his dream of becoming a principal dancer in a prestigious corps de ballet, Morgan Wentworth returns to NYC only to find his brother Jake has died and his own life is in danger. When the president of Jake's motorcycle club appoints member Zeke Ivers as Morgan's bodyguard, the tough biker is forced to begin questioning his sexuality as he finds himself unexpectedly attracted to the young dancer.

...would an apprentice in a major ballet company really go on in principal roles so often?
Re the performance, the reader seemed uncomfortable with the ballet terms - not so much about pronouncing the words, but he had none of the rhythm to imply the movement any dancer would inevitably use. And T(h?)omas’s accent seemed to be multi-purpose ‘European’....

Entertaining enough, but...

This was my first book by Rebecca James and my first audiobook narrated by Christopher Rain. I thought both the writing and narration were very good. I didn't care too much for some of the voices used for secondary characters but I thought the ones for Morgan and Zeke, and the other bikers, were really good.

The romance was very good, if somewhat predictable. I don't mind predictable when the writing is good enough to keep me from skipping pages. Since I listened to this as an audiobook skipping around wouldn't have been easy, but I wasn't tempted to do it anyway.

I don't usually care too much for motorcycle club stories but this one was much better than others I've read and the secondary characters were likeable. I'd be happy to listen to more books in this series if they are done in audiobook format.

A complimentary copy of this audiobook was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author and/or narrator.

I enjoyed this.

I didn't know what to expect since this was a new-to-me author and as well as narrator, and to be honest I wasn't in the mood for too much digging into neither MC clubs not ballet, but this book surprised me by giving me exaclty the right amount of everything. Some MC club stuff, light on the MCs and heavy on the club, as in people who care for each other and have each others backs, and some ballet, just enough to keep it interesting. The love story was also perfectly balanced and well paced, it was the right mix beteen friendship, trust, love, and sex, Morgan and Zeke were great together. I also liked the secondary characters a lot and look forward to listening to a book about some of them.

I liked the narration, the voices were distinct and perfect for the characters. It was easy to know who was speaking and and pleasant to listen to.

Believable love story

A case of opposites attract - Morgan, a dancer and Zeke, an MC member. There is some intrigue, a bit of drama, age gap and romance. Enjoyed the story.
This is my first Christoper Rain narration. I enjoyed listening, it gave the story an added boost. He had really good and distinct voices for each character, though it took me a while to warm up to the voice for Morgan (entirely on me - I had a different voice in my head).

Overall, I would recommend this as a way to experience and enjoy the story.

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. Christopher Rain is one of the 8 narrators (so far), I can listen without break and have no problems to follow. I'm just not yet finish with the book, just 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

as great as the ebook
