Story
Seven years have passed since I fell for Boone West. The brooding bad boy. We were friends, even when I secretly wanted more, but I settled for what he offered. After he left Wyoming - and me - I grew up. Moved on. Or so I believed, until he blew back into my life with the scorching force of an Arizona desert wind. I'm not that innocent 16-year-old girl anymore; I'm a businesswoman who swore never to settle again. But this older, wiser, hotter version of Boone unsettles me. How am I supposed to resist Boone's megawatt smile and his built-army-strong body?

I've been trying to get over one man. I didn't think I'd get under five. Little did I know that these men were much more than recluses. And each one is more gorgeous than the last. Plus, they're willing to share. I don't care what people think, because I have what I want. Finally. The twins are identical in every way.... Their brother is dominant. The eldest is strong with a secret soft heart, while the youngest is very giving exactly where it counts. And I know I can handle them all.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever done this. Written a racy message and sent it to—oops—the wrong person. Yeah, me too. Except, I sent my latest Tales of a Naughty Virgin column detailing my fantasies about my hot, charming, thoroughly bangable next-door-neighbor to…my entire company. Did I mention I’m a children’s book editor? Well, I was. *Facepalm.* At least the column goes viral, but I’m still the gal who gets fired for her not-safe-for-work thoughts about the so-called “Mister Sexy Pants”.

When Judah Madden flees his tiny suffocating home town in New Zealand for the dream of international ballet stardom, he never intends coming back. Not to Painted Bay. Not to his family’s struggling mussel farm. Not to his jerk of a brother. Not with his entire life plan in shreds. And certainly not into the tempting arms of Morgan Wipene, the older ruggedly handsome fisheries officer who seems determined to screw with Judah’s intention to wallow in peace. But dreams are fickle things.

Short and not so sweet
I liked the story but…
Trigger Warnings:
…there is an intense scene of recollecting a brutal gay bashing. By contrast, the prologue killing off love #1 is pretty tame. There is also a pregnancy crisis in a secondary character.
I liked how physical the guys were, and that they had also mellowed out enough with age and experience to stop being reflexively contentious and talk to each other like adults. Despite the pain and horrors from the triggering issues, it was a pretty healthy relationship.
The narrator, who does a lot of LJ’s audiobooks iirc, was female which was novel for a gay romance. She did a great job although I worry for her vocal chords.

Lorelei James Hits Again-This Time A Gay Romance
SPOILER ALERT
This is part of the Blacktop Cowboys series by Lorelei James. At just over 3 hours long, it is a perfect length for a novella. Since it is so short, I don't believe that I can add to the publisher summary (which isn't that long) without spoiling.
I did not notice, when I purchased this that it was a "gay" romance. If you are familiar with LJ's books, it won't be a shock to you. She can write from this perspective/in this genre. That is the only warning/note that I would apply to my regular alert of strong language and mature themes
Scarlet Chase is one of the better female performers when it comes to reading a character from the opposite sex. I did find it helpful that each chapter began with the name of the character speaking.
Overall, I did like the story line and hearing the challenges that would be normal to most relationships but the perspective is different being attracted to someone of the same sex.

It really surprised me
I wouldn’t normally listen to a m/m book, since this was part of the series I did. It was very hot with so much emotion and passions. Was very well written, gave me insight I never saw before. The only draw backs were it ended too suddenly, felt it needed another chapter and at times it was hard to distinguish which character was speaking. Ms Chase which is an excellent narrator, didn’t change their voices enough. Still was a very good book.

Smokin' hot & emotional (M/M)
The 2 MC's have emotional baggage to get thru to a relationship and their hard won HEA. I adore Ms James writing. The storyline no matter the length of the book is completely well-rounded and in-depth. The characters are well-developed and relatable. As usual, I get pulled into the story and forget where I am. The best feeling for a reader. Thank you for a great story!
The narration is perfect for these cowboys. Well done!

5 Strung Up Stars
Oh Hells Ya, an MM book!
Cres and Break are smoken freaking HOT, this book is a scorcher!
Cres is having a hard time moving on and Break has a lot he has been dealing with alone. These two are exactly right for each other at this point in their lives.
I really enjoyed getting to know both men and you can’t help but feel so much for them. All they want to do is be who they are without judgment.
This story really opens your eyes to the fact that being Gay and being a Rancher/Cowboy just isn’t accepted and that is so very sad. Why should it matter what your career is? Or who you come home to? Utter sadness I hate that it's still this way in the 20th century.
I have to say I was surprised we didn’t have a male narrate the book but you know what I don’t care because like I said before Scarlet's male voice is delicious!
*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

Not my favorite audiobook
I’ve enjoyed stories by this author before, but I was disappointed in this one. I was also disappointed that they had a female do the voices. She did a pretty good job because she has a bit of a gravelly voice, but at times I couldn’t tell who was talking. There was no change in intonation to distinguish between the characters.
