About this listen
A man betrayed
The day Brett Payne turned 18, he attended a party that left him disillusioned, his trust shattered, and feeling betrayed by Tony Russo, his first love.
Nearly 15 years later, Brett returns to his hometown of Oleander, Florida, to help his mother, who’s in the hospital. When chance brings Brett and Tony back together, it turns out that while sex isn’t off the table (or the floor, or the shower, or the countertops), Brett isn't sure he can truly trust the man who broke his heart.
A man rejected
Fifteen years after he was abandoned by Brett, Tony's dreams for the future were smashed, one by one, until he’s forced to return to Oleander. Barely scraping by as a handyman, he’s hired, reluctantly, by Brett to make improvements at his mother's house. Being near his first love awakens old feelings that Tony thought were buried forever, and he is irresistibly drawn to the stranger the years have turned Brett into.
A second chance at love
Together, Tony and Brett’s passion sets fire to both their lives and plans for the future. Past hurts are unburied, secrets are uncovered, and their lives will never be the same. For the first time in years, Tony feels he might have a future worth looking forward to, but only if Brett is willing to once again risk his heart.
Reunion is an extremely steamy stand-alone romance with HEA featuring two grown men who desperately need to find their way home, geographically misplaced waterfowl, and a town where just about anything might happen and often does.

I have to stop replaying the one night I spent with my rival. Trouble is, that white-hot encounter with the other quarterback answered a lot of questions I’ve had about myself, but it also led me into this mess where he hates me. I never showed up for our second date. Since, well, life happened, and the worst part is he’ll never know how much that night meant to me.

Once upon a time, the sexy, witty Brit was just that hot guy I met my first day in London. Then, it turned out we were sharing a flat. But living that close to the most charming man I’d ever met was one step away from falling in love with him. Newsflash–I fell. Hard and fast into a swoony, epic romance that felt like something out of a movie...

When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

Van Dorn’s Reunion was a delightful second chance. The chemistry is hot, riveting, and just fantastic between Brett and Tony. I absolutely loved Ferraiuolo’s narration and found these characters coming to life!

Loved It!
I really enjoyed the book when I first read it a while ago and at the time had no idea there would be an audio version as well, and I am so happy there is one now! The story is a really great balance of sweet, funny, and a little bit of angst. Brett and Tony are a really enjoyable couple to watch develop. Both are struggling to get through things in their pasts while navigating new changes in their lives. Their reunion (a seriously apt title for this book!) was a fun one even though there were some moments that broke my heart. But overall, you’ll get the HEA that you’ll be rooting for with these characters. As with all of his other narrations, Michael did a fantastic job with this one. His pace is excellent and I am still (after listening to many of the books he’s done) in awe of his ability to give each character a distinctive voice that really fits them. A definite must as far as listening experiences go!

Perfectly angsty second chance romance
Second chance romance.
Very tragic backstory for both Brett and Tony. It’s what kept them apart as their young love was just developing.
Years later, they reconnect. Their chemistry is still very much still there.
This is a story about their journey back to one another.
Michael is the perfect choice to do this audio for his flamingo noises alone, lol.
I read this book in 2018 and hearing it read to me this time was just what I wanted in a second chance romance.
Forgiveness and love.
Highly recommend.

Angsty. Hilarious. Smexy.
Michael Ferraiuolo narration of Reunion was brilliant. His performance did justice to Lynn Van Dorn story. He had me either laughing and crying for most of it.
His portrayal of Tony and Brett - the heroes- capture their personality , snarky banter and sexual chemistry perfectly.
I enjoyed this audio a lot.

Small town Warmth & Delicious Drama!
Tony and Brett's story had the right amount of warmth and drama that made this story a delicious read. They both went through somethings together and a part from each other. However, the separation from each other for years didn't go so well for Tony. He was in a mentally abusive relationship and didn't even know. Not even after his boyfriend passed away. Not until Brett returned back into his life and pinpoint the signs to him. I'm pleased not only with these two reunion, but the way they brought passion and life into the souls of each other. And the flamingos in the story made me smile. But, what happened to Betty, the flamingo was sad. I hope her partner Armand finds another companion in book II. This story kept my interest throughout the read. The narrator did an awesome job. I highly recommend. Enjoy 🦩

Another win for this author/performer combo
My introduction to both Lynn Van Dorn and Michael Ferraiuolo was her novel Be My Mistake on audio and to this day it is one of my top three m/m books/audiobooks of all time. Something about the way Van Dorn writes angst and Ferraiuolo performs it just grabs me and breaks my heart. We get a lot of that in this story as both Brett and Tony have come back home when their dreams of getting away didn't pan out. Neither one really knows what he wants from life until they get their second chance with each other and things start to become clear. The road is bumpy and there are lots of misunderstandings that have to be cleared up before these two can trust each other again but you can trust this author and this performer to bring you home safe and sound at the end.

Lovedddd
God I loved this book so much! ALL the characters brought so much life to this whole little town. Tony and Brett were such a mess in the beginning, my heart ached for all they had to go through. But I just loved how little by little all the pieces of their hearts started patching themselves together.
The narration was superb as always, so much emotion, so much feeling, I was hooked from the beginning.
I cannot wait for the next books, I’m very hopeful we can get one for Levi, Jacob, Max, and even Calvin!

LOVED IT!!
I absolutely love Lynn Van Dorn’s books and Reunion didn’t disappoint. Brent and Tony loved each other back in high school until one night changed everything. Brent leaves Oleander and Tony and never looks back. Tony can’t understand why Brent left him. He’s hurt and his life doesn’t work out the way he thought it would. Fast forward 15 years... Brent’s mother has surgery and needs help so he must return to Oleander. He needs work done at the house. A friends recommends a local handy man. In walks Tony. Brent can’t believe it. The attraction is still there for both men and the love they once felt for each other. They need to be honest with each other about what happened that night and what has happened in the last 15 years. I loved Brent and Tony together. My heart broke for both of them. Michael Ferraiuolo narration is spot on. I swear he makes characters come to life.

Excellent author-narrator pairing
I thoroughly enjoy this author-narrator pairing.
The relationship between Brett and Tony has some bothersome aspects, but I liked the story as a whole.
I'm hoping a subsequent book in this series focuses on Jacob and Levi.
