Wilde Love, Book 1

By: Sam Burns

Narrated by: Gabriel Amari

On the same night that Alex finds himself disowned and sleeping on his best friend's couch, he meets Liam, who saves him from being mugged. It's a strange time to start a relationship, but everything about Liam feels right. When it becomes apparent that Liam isn't the prince charming he seems to be, Alex has to deal with some hard truths about not just his new boyfriend, but his own history as well.

Liam is just trying to do his job, but everything keeps getting in the way. First he gets assigned to watch some stranger, then somehow, he finds himself dating the guy. Even if it doesn't offend the boss, Liam knows the wrong thing to do when he does it. He finds himself wondering, though: is his job really the most important thing in his life, or can he walk away from it all for a brand new relationship?

Straight from the Heart contains sexual scenes, and is intended for an audience age 18 and up.

Action, Humor and Steam...

Straight from the Heart is the first book in the Wilde Love series by Sam Burns. The contemporary m/m romance is filled with humor, action, suspense, secrets, steam and romance. The story grabs your attention and keeps you interested. It's well written and exciting. The characters are fun and you really find yourself liking them and enjoying the ride. Supporting characters are fun and the main characters are great.... their chemistry is hot!. Liam and Alex instantly connect and I personally love stories like that. This book makes me want to read more from this series.

Narrator is Gabriel Amari who does an amazing job bringing the story to the audio audience. Each character gets their own voice and they seemed to flow and fit the personalities. Great job!

Nice

Enjoyed this one from a new to me author and a new to me narrator! The storyline was solid and I liked the main characters. I liked the narrator but felt he was a tad stiff...I think he has a lot of potential and will seek him out in the future!

Enjoyable story

I really enjoyed this story. I thought it was gunna be full of drama and angst but it wasn’t. Sure Alex was a little to trusting considering he knew Liam was keeping secrets and then when they were reveled he accepted the truth fairly easy. I didn’t mind that. This was just a nice story with a little mafia thrown in. This is not a hard core mafia drama but a sweet romance.
The narration was so so. Gabriel Amari is a new narrator for me and while I didn’t find his narration to be boring he needs to work on his range of voices and accents. Some of them were not very good.

Loved it

I received an ARC of this audio for my honest review. This is a story about Alex who decided to quit school as he didn't want to be a lawyer and take over his father's law firm and Liam who is a CPD officer who is undercover to stop guns from being brought into the city. Alex goes to a bar with friends and gets drunk when a mugger tries to take his wallet Liam comes to the rescue. Liam's boss wants him to keep an eye on Alex and this is how they fall in love. Can't wait for book 2 in this series. Gabriel did a good job narrating the story.

Great story!!

The story is wonderful! Not only the plot is interesting and page-turner, full of action and danger situations, but also the love story between Alex and Liam is cute and endearing with an amazing HEA. Of course an amazing story deserves a great reading voice and Mr Amari’s is just the one for the job. Great combination!!
