Lovers, Losers and You (Sunshine and Happiness book 2) by Skylar M Cates | Tam's Audiobook Review & #giveaway #mmromance @Dreamspinners



Owen King is a lonely history teacher who wants to be braver. So when Owen learns about the deceased brother he never met, he breaks free of his safety net and risks answers. Despite his loving, adopted family, Owen wonders if there are missing pieces inside of him. Visiting the seaside town of Ocean Vista, where his brother lived and died, will be no vacation.

Andrew Teagan wants to be a winner. After being dumped by his last boyfriend, Andrew is through letting others dictate his life. To prove that dreams are possible, he’s going after his ambitions full force. Having signed on for a cooking reality show, Andrew’s ready to make his small cafĂ© into a sizzling success.

When Andrew aids Owen on the beach, what starts off as an act of kindness turns into a hot temptation. But can a sweet budding romance survive when the time comes for Owen to leave town? Both men must learn to trust each other if their love will conquer the miles between them.

Tams gives this one 3 Stars...


"Love, loss and figuring out who you want to be."
Overall
Performance
Story
What did you like best about Lovers, Losers, and You? What did you like least?
I liked Owen and how he grew as a character from where he was when the book started, and where he was by the end. He matured and evolved a lot.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Lovers, Losers, and You?
That the "face value" of the characters wound up being different than one would think.

How could the performance have been better?
Bradley was waaaaaay too theatrical... or dare I say, satirical.

Did Lovers, Losers, and You inspire you to do anything?
Not really.

Any additional comments?
I absolutely loved the first book in this series and wanted to continue the story, though this book could be listened to or read as a stand alone. I did not care for the narration. As I said above, Bradley's tones and inflections didn't really fit with what they should have been. Of course, this is just my opinion. I could tell by the content though, that this was another amazing story of love, loss and figuring out who you are in relation to who you think you want to be. So, my suggestion would be to read this one.

Skylar M. Cates loves a good romance. She is quite happy to drink some coffee, curl up with a good book, and not move all day. Most days, however, Skylar is chasing after her husband, her kids, and her giant dog, Wasabi. Skylar dreams about spending her days writing her novels, walking along the beach, and making more time for her good friends. On a shoestring budget, Skylar has traveled all over in her early years. Although, lately, the laundry room is the farthest place she has visited, Skylar still loves to chat with people from all around the globe.
