It hits me in the feels every time! ( ) Great Journey I found this story through Flash Rip because I wanted to know the MCs after their brief cameo. I loved seeing Australia through Ethan's eyes AND ears. The story was so well written it gave me some understanding of what it's like for people with hearing disabilities. I hope I do better when I meet them... [I just Googled if it's ok to say: people with hearing disabilities] Ethan comes from a place where he has tried to make a relationship work by changing his attitude, not a cure all as it turns out! and all comes crashing down on the eve of his wedding. He's smart; he gets away by going on his honeymoon as planned ... to Australia. And because the novel is read by Joel Leslie and because of the honeymoon location, I think the novel is written by NR Walker and shocked to see just now that it is by Kiera Andrews. Her research is good and there isn't too much that jars, not like Leslie's pronunciation of half a dozen place names. Over and over he says Parramatta in a way no one has ever heard it said! It's a bit annoying ... but not enough to squash this rather nice and satisfying romance between the devastated Ethan and the kind, somewhat lost Clay, the bus driver on the tour. Clay is an innocent, and a decent, honest man who has no artifice. He discovers his sexuality in his 40s thanks to crossing paths with New York resident and a man nearly a generation younger, Ethan. I recently read Artic Sun by Annabeth Albert where I was taken on holiday to Denali National Park, and this novel takes me on holiday to the Great Barrier Reef and other places on the Australian east coast. Which is always a great foundation for an enjoyable read, and could be why I didn't chafe at the bit when this audiobook was 13 h and 44 m. Way too long for a romantic comedy or any romance novel, but I have no complaints this time. The build towards the relationship is slow for sure, but it works. Narrator Joel Leslie, I believe, is an Englishman who has done lots of work in America. He narrates so much Australian romance, particularly NR Walker, and I've read that he is known to be great with accents such as the Australian accent. Not! I think it is why I have a bit of a set against him even while I recognise how great he is. That, and the fact he is over-the-top exaggerated almost in a campy way, until he settles into a role. He's ever so much better when he isn't narrating anything in Australia, which is when I start picking him apart! Publishers, please please please use an Australian audio actor for Australian voices! sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Betrayed the night before his wedding by the supposed boy of his dreams, Ethan Robinson escapes the devastating fallout by going on his honeymoon alone to the other side of the world. Hard of hearing and still struggling with the repercussions of being late-deafened, traveling by himself leaves him feeling painfully isolated with his raw, broken heart. Clay Kelly never expected to be starting life over in his forties. He got hitched young, but now his wife has divorced him and remarried, his kids are grown, and he's left his rural Outback town. In a new career driving a tour bus on Australia's East Coast, Clay reckons he's happy enough. He enjoys his cricket, a few beers, and a quiet life. If he's a bit lonely, it's not the end of the world. Clay befriends Ethan, hoping he can cheer up the sad-eyed young man, and a crush on an unattainable straight guy is exactly the safe distraction Ethan needs. Yet as the days pass and their connection grows, long-repressed desires surface in Clay, and they are shocked to discover romance sparking. Clay is the sexy, rugged man of Ethan's dreams, and as the clock counts down on their time together, neither wants this honeymoon to end. Contains mature themes.
