About this listen

Mercer
When my high school crush, Gawain, walks into Fifties diner on that February evening, ten years after walking out of my life, I’m stunned. He's still hot, and I still can't resist him. We share a meal that leads to a whole lot more. But when he reveals the truth he hid ten years ago, I have to face the decision of sending him away forever or living with the hurt he’s caused.

Thought You Were the One is a 6k gay romance short story about second chances, high school crushes, and the power of redemption.

I need more Mercer!!!

I want more of Mercer and his lover! I was not ready for this short story, seriously I was thinking I knew how this would end. Until bam! We get a tiny plot twist towards the end. Michael did such a great job of narrating this short story. His different tones of voice were great, I completely forgot this was being narrated by one person only. Seriously I would listen to anything narrated by Michael!

Another tease 🤣

Another sneak peek into what I can only imagine is going to be a great story filled with sass, jealousy, and excitement! Giovanni is trouble, and he has sunk his fingers into Mercer 🫰🏽

Interesting Twist

Very short story but has a bit of a bang with the twist. Hot scene and a great set up for another story. Michael Dean was fantastic as always. Looking forward to jumping into more!

Nice short story.

I love a good short story and this one really was. I love Gabbi Grey’s writing and this story didn’t change that. Michael Dean’s performance made the story even better.

Hmm, I'm not sure how I feel about this one...

I'm a bit disappointed in this really short story. Michael Dean did a fantastic job with the narration, as always, but the book was way too short. I'm not sure how to feel after listening to this. There's nothing in the book blurb that indicates that this is a prequel, to an upcoming book. If this was a prequel then maybe I wouldn't judge this story so harshly, knowing there was more to come. Normally I enjoy books written by Gabbi Grey.

I feel like this should be rated as a dubcon book because that's what it seemed like to me. This book left me uncomfortable due to one of the character's deceitfulness. Maybe this is just a me thing. I read other reviews and I felt like I listened to a different book than they did. Oh well, this happens occasionally.

Felt Like I Was Missing Something

After running into his crush after ten years in a fifties diner, which was super awkward, When his crush asks to return to Mercer’s home, things just seem to get more awkward from there.

Things are only told from Mercer’s perspective, until the very end.

It’s also a short, so you’re left wanting more.

As always, Michael Dean’s narration was amazing!!

Short Story

Such a great short story of how Mercer received his HEA. Much deserved after stepping up to take care of his younger siblings!

Mercer and Gio

Perfect short story to add to the series. I loved getting a bit more of the back story as to how they came to be after seeing glimpses of them in other books.
Highly recommended author and series

Audiobook: Terrific narrator
