Audiobook Review: Wildfire (In Vino Veritas #1) by Garrett Leigh, narrators Tim Paige and Dan Calley

 

Blurb: 

A gorgeous new sexual awakening romance with sizzling first times, snarky British banter, and off-the-charts chemistry.

Life doesn’t always pan out as you expect. When it explodes in my face, literally, an old friend offers me a place to heal and a job renovating the kitchen of Burlington’s coolest wine bar.

V&V is a chill fest. Living above it should be a blast. But I’m not built to be a social butterfly. Not anymore. I’m a damaged man.

And I’m not its target clientele.

At least, I think I’m not until I come face to face with the most beautiful human I’ve ever seen. Joss is the new chef and my roommate. He has hair like spun gold and it’s as pretty as the rest of him. Crystal blue eyes. Megawatt smile.

I can’t stop staring. Or thinking about him. He chases my nightmares away. And when he spots my crush a mile off, his solution to our chemical attraction blows my mind.

An experiment of sorts. Science. Is this sexual exploration or sex education?

Either way, Joss is only here for the summer. He’s leaving.

I can’t fall in love with him.

I can’t.

Shame my foolish heart never got the memo.

WILDFIRE is a heartfelt MM friends-to-lovers, hurt/comfort romance in the True North world, with a brooding lumbersexual, a wild-hearted chef, sweet angst and all the Vermont food. Content warning: contains mentions of depression, ADHD, suicidal ideation, and PTSD recovery.

My Review - 4 1/2 of 5 stars - 

4 1/2 stars. I enjoyed this story. Joss, who never stayed anywhere long enough to develop a true relationship, and Kai/Fletcher, who never considered falling in love with a man, were a fun couple to follow into a strong relationship beyond friendship/roommates. Kai was very open to experimenting and it opened up his world to true love. Joss found a reason to stay in one place. They were entertaining despite the flare ups of their mental issues to overcome. I loved both and enjoyed the secondary characters as well.
The narration by Tim Paige and Dan Calley gave the story more life and character. They did a great job.

This is my unsolicited review.
