Here for You

By: K.C. Wells

Narrated by: John Solo

Chris Lomax swore he’d never return to Saugatuck, but nothing could have prevented him from coming home to the small lakeside town, not once he saw the news about the fire - and Hunter, the only person ever to steal his heart. He must make sure Hunter is okay, and service dog Lucy could lend a helping paw.

Firefighter Hunter Drake never expected to see Chris again. He thought he’d lost his best friend for good when Chris jilted Hunter’s sister at the altar. But right now Hunter needs to focus on his recovery. What he doesn’t understand is why Chris came back - and why he won’t leave.

The two men get to reconnect, but spending so much time together leaves Hunter confused and uncertain, especially when Chris reveals he’s both bi and in love with him. Hunter’s not sure what to do about that last part.

What Chris wants is for Hunter to forgive him.

What Hunter needs is to stop living in denial.

Yeah, as if it was ever going to be that easy...

a beautiful story

Here for You is a beautifully written friends to lovers story about Hunter and Chris. I love how they don't give up on each other and get the second chance they both deserve.
Narrator John Solo does an amazing job. He is definitely one of my favorite narrators.

Sweet, slow-burn friends-to-lovers story.

A beautiful, slow-burn friends-to-lovers story that meanders along deceptively mellow and laidback, but in the end will grab at your heart in the best way. Here For You is an enjoyable read that shows us love in its purest form, relying very much on the strong basis of friendship and being there for each other when things are everything but easy, and far less so on passion as a crutch for the story. This one’s low heat, but definitely high on emotion and very sweet.
Chris and Hunter both have regrets when it comes to the other and carry around big secrets. For all that they’ve been lifelong friends, they are in the dark about certain things, and not as different as they imagine. I loved seeing them grow throughout the story. The secondary characters are wonderful, and some of them larger than life. Yes, Cally, I’m talking about you ;-) And of course, I can’t forget to mention Lucy, who is just too adorable, we all want a Lucy in our lives! The parents, on both sides, are refreshingly loving and supportive, and just gave me all the feels.
In between the lines and cushioned by the warmth of family and friends uniting behind Chris and Hunter, there’s an important lesson the author tries to get through, in a subtle and well-balanced way, with regards to trauma and being brave enough to seek help when you need it. No problem is ever solved by running away from it or ignoring it.

Narration: John Solo does a wonderful job with his narration of this sweet story! I love how he manages to channel so many different emotions from quiet joy to outright despair. He does a wide range of voices and captures the essence of every character. I very much enjoyed listening to his performance of Chris and Hunter’s story.

Here for you

When Chris returns to his hometown he longs to make things right with everyone he wronged. Hunter is top on his list, but can they get past all of the pain and betrayal?

Chris and Hunter’s story is a sweet tale about standing by those that you love. I enjoyed watching the two men reconnect and it was nice to see Chris find a way to help Hunter through his problems. The two men are good together and the love that they feel shines through in everything that they do. Their emotions are strong and seeing them fight for their friendship made for a good listen. Narrator John Solo does a wonderful job of bringing these characters to life and pulling me into the story.

So Sweet!

I love a good second chance and friends to lovers story. KC Wells has always been one of my favorite authors and this book did not dissapoint, even if it was a bit shorter than what I'm used to from her. This was a sweet and tender story of old friends coming back together. There were elements of hurt and comfort, betrayal and forgiveness, and a love that can heal even the most wounded of hearts. The characters were absolutely amazing and the relationship grew organically, which is something shorter books often have trouble with in my opinion. The sex was sweet and spicy, which is exactly what I've come to expect from KC Wells.

This was my first book with John Solo as a narrator and I felt like he did a decent job. I think I enjoyed the past performances of her other books by Nick J Russo and Joel Leslie a lot more however. John's voices were ok, I had no trouble depicting who was speaking. His narration just seemed to lack some of the emotion and connection to her characters and stories that Nick and Joel have been able to bring out for me in the past.

Excellent

If you haven't read this one by KC Wells, stop what you are doing and download this one! I loved this novel..it really pulls at your heartstrings without being TOO angsty! It was beautifully written and the main characters were lovely. John Solo did a great job narrating this!
