Connor Graham is a city boy - a celebrated fashion photographer in New York. When his uncle's death drags him back to the family blueberry farm, all he wants to do is sell it as quickly as he can. Until he meets his uncle's tenant farmer.
Jed Jones, shy and stammering, devout and dedicated, has always yearned for land of his own and a man to share it with. Kept in the closet by his church, family, and disastrous first love, he longs to be accepted for who he is. But now, with his farm and his future in Connor's careless hands, he stands to lose even the little he has.
Neither man expects the connection between them. Jed sees Connor - appreciates his art and passion like no one else in this godforsaken town ever has. Connor hears Jed - looks past his stutter to listen to the man inside. The time they share is idyllic, but with the farm sale pending, even their sanctuary is a source of tension. As work, family, and their town's old-fashioned attitudes pull them apart, they must find a way to reconcile commitments to their careers and to each other.

"Sweet ,romantic story"
What does Tobias Silversmith bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I loved Jed's stutter. It made the story real. I loved his emotion in each character as well.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. I like an occasional short book you can do in one sitting.
Any additional comments?
The Blueberry Boy is a sweet story. I loved the cover and title.
Jed is a very religious man. He works hard on the blueberry farm that is being sold after the owner died. Jed isn't sure what will happen to him.
Conner is a photographer, he loved the Blueberry farm but agreed to sell because he needed the money to build a gallery he always wanted. When he and Jed become romantically involved life becomes difficult as neither can change their lives?
The story is sweet. I was giving it a 3.5 but when Conner sent the email near the end to Jed that did it for me. That was the sweetest love letter ever. The story is very family oriented with conflict in both Scott and Conner's family and Jed's family. There is some hot man sex too.
If you like farmers, photographers, blueberries, Cityboy/country boy, coming out, and a sweet romance.

Relentless curiosity led her to take up knitting and run a few marathons “just to see if she could.” She started writing for the same reason.

Living and writing in Northwest Georgia, she finds her attempts to keep a quiet home are frequently thwarted by twin boy-children and a very, very large dog.

I enjoyed the story & thought that Tobias Silversmith did a good job for the narration although it did seem the tempo was rushed. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Thanks for the review! I read this book and enjoyed it, but I went with high expectations and it wasn't quite as good for me as I had hoped.
