Sunset Park

By: Santino Hassell

Narrated by: Michael Ferraiuolo

Raymond Rodriguez's days of shoving responsibility to the wayside are over. His older brother wants to live with his boyfriend, so Raymond has to get his act together and find a place of his own. But when out-and-proud David Butler offers to be his roommate, Raymond agrees for reasons other than needing a place to crash.

David is Raymond's opposite in almost every way - he's Connecticut prim and proper while Raymond is a sarcastic longshoreman from Queens - but their friendship is solid. Their closeness surprises everyone as does their not-so-playful flirtation, since Raymond has always kept his bi-curious side a secret.

Once they're under the same roof, flirting turns physical, and soon their easy camaraderie is in danger of being lost to frustrating sexual tension and the stark cultural differences that set them apart. Now Raymond not only has to commit to his new independence, he has to commit to his feelings for David or risk losing him for good.

Great continuation of the series...

If you could sum up Sunset Park in three words, what would they be?

So So Good...I know, not exactly what was meant by the question, but this is what I could come up with.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked that the characters were so different. They have different ethnic backgrounds, family upbringings and just general outlooks on life. Raymond is brusk, rough and to the point where David is not. I liked the way their differing personalities still worked so well together.

What about Michael Ferraiuolo’s performance did you like?

I really liked Ferraiuolo's narration. Each character had their own voice and that made the story very easy to follow. The emotion came through in the narration. I loved the book, but the audio made me appreciate it even more. Raymond was easily my favorite character, but Farraiuolo gave David a voice that made me like him more than I had just reading the book. It was a great job.

Any additional comments?

This was just a really good story made even better with the narration. I would recommend it to any m/m fans.

Wonderful Surprise!

The narrator was great! His Raymond was perfect. The story had the perfect amount of angst but not too much and plenty of sexy times. I think I want a Raymond of my own!

Figuring out love takes work

Falling in love is a struggle for the two main characters. It takes work, vulnerability, and honesty.

loved it!

I was missing the boys so I had to get the audiobook, the narration was perfect and it got me into the story right away.

I am addicted to this author!!!!!!!!

David and Raymond are my romance heroes! Their story is incredible. I actually caught myself yelling at the characters lol. Beautifully written. And let's talk about the narrator.... Human hubba.. What a voice. THIS IS A MUST READ.
