Todd is too flakey. Richard is too stubborn. Together, they're perfect. A May-December couple get a second chance at love.

Retired soldier Richard Davis wants a stable life in a quiet town with a forever man. Becoming the sheriff of Hope, Arizona, accomplishes two of his three goals, but instead of finding a serious partner, he falls for too-young-to-be-committed and too-flakey-to-be-serious, Todd Smitty. Richard won't find the right man if he's obsessed with the wrong one, so he walks away from Todd.

It's lust at first sight when Todd meets his sister's army friend. He sets his sights on the worldly, strong, stable older man, and the more time he spends with Richard, the harder he falls. But after three years together, Richard cuts off all contact, with no explanation.

When a mutual obligation requires Todd to move into Richard's house, he's thrilled at the opportunity to earn a second chance. Ignoring Todd from across town was hard enough. Can Richard resist temptation under his own roof?

"Age is just a number! "

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I sure would, I love this Author and the narrator is pretty darn good as well.

If you’ve listened to books by Cardeno C. before, how does this one compare?

I've listened to a good many of CC's books and this one is somewhere in the middle. I had a few issues with a certain stubborn, pig headed male in the story. But overall I enjoyed it.

Have you listened to any of Ezekiel Robison’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have and I think that the more he hones his talent, the better his vocal tones become. This was the best from him I've heard thus far.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It was and I did. Short, sexy and steamy are my three favorite colors!

Any additional comments?

Okay, I had one huge, glaring issue with this story.... Richard! Not completely, don't get me wrong. He's a big, brooding alpha male that is used to getting his way. He and Todd compliment each other because Todd likes being told what to do, but only by Richard. I wanted to climb into the book and throttle Richard a couple of times though. He is a grown ass man acting like an angsty teenager that needed some sense knocked into him and I was more than willing to offer my services.

There were two decades separating these two men but it was so clear that they belonged to each other from the start. I think my favorite aspect to this story was the character development and growth for Todd. He's young and bit naive and can't sort out how to define his thoughts, to put them to words to get Richard to understand that what he wants is Richard.

Robison has this sort of natural growl to his tone and it worked splendidly for Richard. I liked what he did with the characters in this story, can't wait to snag something else he's voiced.

Overall I really liked this one and will probably listen to it again.

Cardeno C. - CC to friends - is a hopeless romantic who wants to add a lot of happiness and a few "awwws" into a reader's day. Writing is a nice break from real life as a corporate type and volunteer work with gay rights organizations. Cardeno's stories range from sweet to intense, contemporary to paranormal, long to short, but they always include strong relationships and walks into the happily-ever-after sunset.

Heartwarming Stories. Strong Relationships. Forever Love.
