Powder & Pavlova

Southern Lights, Book 1

By: Jay Hogan

Narrated by: Gary Furlong

Ethan Sharpe is living every young Kiwi's dream—seeing the world for a couple of years while deciding what to do with his life, no rush. Then he gets a call. Two days later he's back in New Zealand. Six months later his mother is dead, his 15-year-old brother is going off the rails, and the café he's inherited is failing. His life is a hot mess and the last thing he needs is another complication—like the man who just walked into his café—a much older...sinfully hot...epic complication.

Tanner Carpenter's time in Queenstown has an expiration date. He has a new branch of his business to get up and running, exorcise a few personal demons while he's at it, and then head back to Auckland to get on with his life. He isn't looking for a relationship especially with someone 15 years his junior, but Ethan is gorgeous, troubled, and in need of a friend. Tanner could be that for Ethan, right? He could brighten Ethan's day for a few months, help him out where possible, and maybe offer some...stress relief, no strings attached.

It was a good plan, until it wasn't.

Amazing

Wonderfully touching romsnce with a top notch narration. Enjoyed every second. Ms. Hogan is one of my favorites and her stories just keep getting better. Highly recommend.

Slow burn but rewarding

Really enjoyed the first third of the book, then it kinda got slow as they kinda treaded water in their relationship. But by the last third, I was fully vested and all in the feels. Gary's narration was top-notch as always.

Another amazing series from Jay Hogan

Love Jay Hogan’s books and I’m so thrilled to see more releasing on audio book. Gary Furlong is perfect as always.

So painfully beautiful

I laughed, I cried and I loved every second. Jay Hogan is amazing and writes beautifully.
