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.

Forget the jelly doughnuts. Hanukkah's about to get spicy.... Benji Roth couldn't be happier. His bakery in the small town of Serenity, Pennsylvania is thriving, and he doesn’t even mind being the only Jewish person in town. Except when his cousin, Issac, comes to visit, of course. Everyone is friendly—well, almost everyone. Gorgeous Gil Navarro, the owner of the spice shop across the street, comes in every morning for a muffin but barely looks at him and never says a word.

When I left Birchbark angry and heartbroken, I vowed never to return. Fate had other plans. The father I hate had a stroke, so now I'm back in the Upper Peninsula to take care of him. The locals treat Dad like royalty, while Dad vacillates between open anger and flat-out ignoring me. Throw in my messy relationship with my brothers, and being in Birchbark becomes unbearable.

The first time I got on my knees for President Ashley, it was the night of his inauguration… And I was only doing my job… helping him remove his shoes. I’m Lieutenant Commander Kenan Harper, the president’s trusted valet. His loyal aide. His bodyman… And the fool who’s been in love with Garner Ashley since long before I took this job. If I had my way, I’d be so much more than his employee, but to say that would be impossible would be the understatement of the century.

Accepting my career in the Army is over after losing my leg is hard. But the obnoxious, good looking, glass-half-full surfer in my physical therapy sessions is worse. And god help him if he doesn’t stop trying to give me advice. Living in a home with three of my closest veteran buddies is a challenge as we all have our crosses to bear and wounds to heal from, but mine only seem to be getting deeper with every step forward I take. I already have to adjust to a new life as a civilian. I don’t need a sexuality crisis to go with it.

After moving back to his hometown ten years ago, Riley Tuck thought he had left his major league hockey career—and his broken heart—far behind. But when an unexpected tragedy strikes, it brings ex-teammate and former best friend with benefits Adam Sheppard back into his life. Coming to the small town of Avery River, Nova Scotia, might have been a mistake. Adam’s not sure he’ll ever win back Riley’s trust after the way they left things—and the attention he’s getting as a huge hockey star isn’t exactly helping. Yet the chemistry that crackles between them is undeniable, even now.

If I had to choose one word to describe my new cocky costar, it’d be exasperating.

Unfortunately for me, Niko and I get paired to do a series of lovey-dovey boyfriend videos for our employers at Elite 8 Studios. And when you film the sort of scenes we do, up close and personal takes on a whole new meaning.

Story
After my dad moved to a retirement community, he left me with the big, old house I grew up in and a whole lot of loneliness. I thought by now I’d be settled down, but no one’s looking for the guy who likes long hikes with his dog, stargazing, and fixing shit around the house. They want fun, entertaining, flashy—not me. Except when I give Rhys my private line for an emergency house call, I show up for the job to discover it’s a date. It seems like I might’ve met the one man on earth who’s just as interested as I am—if only we can find the guts to admit it.

Story
I'm the starting quarterback for the Portland Pirates, and I have a thing for my son's teacher. Except I didn't know the cute blond on the beach with the giant dog was my kid's teacher until two months later at Open House. Christian took my breath away during my vacation and introduced me to things I never knew could feel so good and be so right. I think he just might be the one who inspires me to tell the world that this NFL quarterback is bisexual and in love with a man.

Story
Being out and proud as a nonbinary person didn’t come easy, but I’ve finally found my place. I have an amazing work family at the cabaret bar where I perform, Chicago fits me better than my Texas hometown ever did, and I’m truly happy. Especially once Jameson walks into my life. Our new bartender accepts me effortlessly for who I am, and the man is more than easy on the eyes. In fact, the way he looks out for me is giving me all sorts of ideas, even though those cuddles were purely platonic. Weren’t they?

Story
Raising twins by myself wasn’t the life I pictured, but the three of us have done pretty well together. They’re in their senior year of high school now, and I’m thinking maybe I can finally get back into the dating pool. Given that my late-husband was my high school sweetheart—my one and only—and it’s been more than twenty years, I have no idea where to start. Do I swipe right, speed date, or maybe just stand on a corner and shout forty and single, please date me?

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!!

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
