Men of Smithfield: Adam and Holden

By: L.B. Gregg

Narrated by: Shannon Gunn

Holden Worthington's globetrotting days are over. Once the host of a popular adventure show, he hasn't ventured past his own front door in more than a year. Then the arrival of a sexy new gardener sparks something Holden hasn't felt in a very long time - an interest in the world outside his window.

Holden tries to resist the attraction. But painfully shy yet definitely interested Adam Morgan has Holden longing to conquer his debilitating anxiety and live again. After a grisly discovery on the grounds of the estate, the town of Smithfield turns a suspicious eye on the reclusive Holden - and the two men must trust in each other to bring the truth out in the open.

Ok story but...

It seem the Perform I was channeling Paul Lynn. I was waiting for the Paul Lynn chuckle.

Would have been better with out that gay accent.

All i could hear was Roger from American Dad

What did you love best about Men of Smithfield: Adam and Holden?

The story was sweet and the characters were delightfully broken. I got the feeling that Adam was maybe slightly autistic but still a strong and functioning person.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Men of Smithfield: Adam and Holden?

two little girls and a fat dog walking down the street.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

All i could imagine in the place of Holden was a short grey alien with a giant head. I believe that seth macfarlane modeled him on paul lynde which is another name being thrown around the reviews! it was distracting made the story seem slightly ridiculous!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

i imagined roger the alien from American Dad having gay sex. that was pretty funny :)

A great narrator makes a big difference

Great narrator. his performance sold the story and made it a joy to listen to. I laughed several times, especially at the end.

Sweet story but narration somewhat annoying

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The interpretation of Holden as Paul Lynde. I can understand why the narrator went this way, because the book really has great snarky dialogue. But as much as I like Paul Lynde, it is NOT sexy to hear the romance part of the book with his voice. It is really annoying after a while.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

It wasn't really that interesting. The story and romance is really pretty lame. The best thing about the book is the comedy, it is really funny. I would suggest listening to it as a funny read with a little romance.

What three words best describe Shannon Gunn’s voice?

Diversified. He did a great job with the different charaters, but I just didn't like Holden's.

Do you think Men of Smithfield: Adam and Holden needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No, just let them be happy.

Another in the Smithfield series

Another nice work in the Smithfield series. Adam and Holden seem a mismatch, but it works out in the end. This book also features Tony the cop, so guess which book I'm getting next?
