A Shatterproof Bond / Sam Aiken Prequel short

Child protégé Sam Aiken is the youngest student studying linguistics at Oxford University. Frustratingly, being so young means Sam doesn't get to enjoy student life in the same way the older students do.

He is obsessed with his studies and is close to graduation, but when Sam's elderly Master, Professor Alfred Moxley, dies suddenly, Sam finds the replacement professor brought in to get him and his classmates through their last few months of study to be more than a little distracting. Dr. Alexander Deveraux becomes Sam's new obsession, and he wants to learn more from the young, brilliant, queer professor than just linguistics!

Short and sweet

We get to see the sexual awakening of young Sam. Gary Furlong was good at voicing the 16+ year old.
Nice flashback.

Amazing prequel.

This is such an amazing prequel to this series. It is short but sweet. Gary Furlong does an amazing job with this short story.

What a SUMPTUOUS little piece!!

Isobel Starling + Gary Furlong = Ecstasy!!!

This was a tasty short that started out with a bang! And a top hat! 🔥🔥

We meet young Sam in this third year at Oxford as he becomes infatuated with his new, young tutor, Alexander.

For those of you that have read the ready of the Shatterproof Bond series, this is a MUST! I loved getting to know Sam before he became the secretive man we meet later on.

Alexander also intrigued me because he’s been mentioned a few times in the other books and I have a feeling we haven’t seen the last of him!

So, get your voicegasm on listening to Gary Furlong narrate Isobel’s delicious writing!!

Absolutely loved it

I absolutely loved this short peek into Sam's past while he was at school. Isobel Starling's writing combined with Gary Furlong's wonderful delivery make for an oh so sexy vignette. I would love to read more about Sam's pre-Declan days. There is obviously a lot more history that could be shared, including about Sam and Alexander before Sir James found out about them. I am sure there was a lot more sexy fun. I highly recommend this sweet, sexy listen.

I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook from the author and have voluntarily left this honest review.
