Velvet Midnight

Gold Brothers Series, Book 2

By: Max Walker

Narrated by: Greg Boudreaux

BENJAMIN GOLD: I thought I was going to be a successful sports star, maybe a famous veterinarian, or maybe I'd open up another sanctuary, following in my moms' footsteps. None of that happened. Life's light seemed to turn off for me, and I was having a really hard time turning the spark back on.

Then, on my twenty-fourth birthday, in comes the one surprise I wanted most and liked the least: Rex freaking Madison. My older brother's best friend, my first crush, my first time. And my absolute worst nightmare.

Somewhere, deep down under the cobwebs in my chest, a spark lit.

REX MADISON: I'd been coasting, living under my dad's oppressive shadow while using his bank account to keep rent paid and alcohol flowing. Now, I was being blackmailed for a sex tape I never consented to.

My best friend offered me a place to stay, and I took it.

One look from Benji was all it took for everything to derail again. It had been six years since we saw each other last, ending an incredible time on a terrible note. Benji had taught me how to love myself—all of myself-back then, and now I wanted to return the favor, no matter how much time may have separated us.

Contains mature themes.

Really good

Second book, no need to listen to the first. although, its also really good. definitely, a standalone. Twin brothers best friend, a sex tape and some great romance. Max Walker writes a really good story and No one performs better than Greg Boudreaux. he brings such great individual personalities to all of the characters. his voice makes the sex scenes smoking hot. this book and the first are both well worth the credit and your time to listen.

Bk2 better than Bk1 -- Enjoyed!

Bk2 has way more interesting and likeable MCs. Light and fluffy, lots of sap, and more teasers about The Dove. I'm headed into the next book so I can find out who it is!

Velvet Midnight

Velvet Midnight deepens the emotional core of the Gold Brothers series, leaning into vulnerability, self-denial, and the quiet bravery it takes to want more than survival. Walker sharpens his focus on intimacy built through shared history and unspoken understanding, allowing the romance to unfold with patience rather than spectacle. The characters’ internal conflicts—fear of repeating past mistakes, loyalty to family, and the longing to be truly chosen—give the story its weight. The pacing lingers where it should, letting moments of connection breathe and settle instead of rushing toward resolution. It’s a lush, emotionally confident continuation that proves this series thrives on tenderness, restraint, and earned devotion.

Great series!

This series has it all! Story, narration, depth, and truths! Read it with your next credit

Superb narration of a perfect book

I’m loving this Gold Brothers series! It’s the ideal length for me as I can get through it in a day, and Boudreau’s performance is stellar as per usual. Plenty of laugh out loud moments and just the right amount of angst with some great steamy scenes. I’m so happy I stumbled upon this author and series, it’s wonderful getting to know different characters in the beautiful Gold blended family.
