A Mission City Gay Romance Novella

By: Gabbi Grey

Narrated by: Michael Dean

Dickens

My tranquility is shattered when a motorcycle repair shop moves in next to my bookstore. All I want is peace and quiet. What I get is gunning engines and '80s rock music. One of us has got to go, and since I was here first, it’s the hot mechanic.

SpikeI chose Mission City to set up shop because of the weekend-enthusiast riders. I’ve dreamed of owning my own shop for years, and no one is going to run me out of town. Least of all the adorable geek Bookstore Dude.

This 25k gay romance novella is a true instalove, enemies to lovers, opposites attract story with a cuddly cat named Aristotle.

Good Listen

I really enjoyed this audio. I had not read the book yet before I listened to it. So this was a brand new one for me. I enjoyed the charters a lot. The storyline was really good and kept my attention throughout the book. The narrator did such an amazing job on this one.

I Enjoyed It

I really enjoyed this book. It was a fun, quick read. Wonderful characters. I really liked bookstore owner Dickens, and motorcycle shop owner Spike. They had great chemistry. I also really loved Sunshine. She was such a great character! I wish this were longer so I could get to know the characters more and see their relationship build. Overall a really nice story.

After reading this ebook in August, I had the opportunity to listen to the audiobook. The narrator Michael Dean did a wonderful job with the different voices- I especially loved Spike's. Listening to the story was even more fun than reading it.

Overall: 4.5 stars
Performance: 5 stars
Story: 4 stars

Sweet story

Short and sweet. definitely worth listening to. Michael Dean does a great job bringing this sweet story to life. Every well written and easy to get into.

Short and steamy

This is a quick but fun listen. It was a full and complete well written with great narration. I really enjoyed these characters and this world. I’ll be looking into more from this author.

Short instalove enemies to lovers novella

A short instalove novella between neighbors, an uptight bookstore owner and new to town mechanic/bike shop owner. This was luke warm on the enemies to lovers aspect, and a bit too short to really become invested in the pair. There's also a cameo for a previous couple that if you didn't read this standalone, you may be left a tiny bit confused.

Overall, this had "this is a book and I read it" energy. Not bad, middle of the pack, unfortunately a forgettable one.

I received an audiobook arc from GRR in exchange for an honest review.
