You Never Know written by Mary Calmes narrated by Greg Tremblay | Tams Audiobook Review & #giveaway @Dreamspinners @MaryCalmes @GTremblayVoice


You Never Know


Hagen Wylie has it all figured out. He's going to live in his hometown, be everybody's friend, explore new relationships, and rebuild his life after the horrors of war. No muss, no fuss is the plan. He's well on his way - until he finds out his first love has come home too. Hagen says it's no big deal, but a chance encounter with Mitch Thayer's two cute sons puts him directly in the path of the only guy he's never gotten out of his head.

Mitch returned for three reasons: to raise his sons where he grew up, to move his furniture business and encourage it to thrive, and to win Hagen back. Years away made it perfectly clear the young man he loved in high school is the only one for him. The problem? He left town and they have not talked since.

If Hagen's going to trust him again, Mitch needs to show him how he's grown up and isn't going to let go. They could have a new chance at love...but Hagen is insistent he's not reviving a relationship with Mitch. Then again, you never know.

"The heart knows what the heart needs "
Hagen Wylie and Mitch Thayer were high school sweethearts, surely voted most likely to succeed. But then Mitch went off to college and let the world dictate how he should live his life. Hagen wasn't just broken hearted, he was destroyed. Years later he finally has his life where he wants it to be, mostly. He's met a man that adores him and Hagen really, really likes him a lot. The problem is, he's not Mitch, he will never be Mitch, no one else will ever compare to Mitch. Then, speak of the devil and he turns up, Mitch is back in town and has his sights set on the man he could never forget. Can Hagen forgive the past? Can Mitch convince him he's worth the risk?

Let me tell you what I adored about this story, the constant inner monologue of one Hagen Wylie. A good portion of the story is Hagen. From his thoughts, to his beliefs, to reliving the past and trying to move past the pain. He's smart, intellectual and stubborn, everyone's friend and he belongs with Mitch. It does take a lot of soul searching to decide that though. And I really couldn't blame him with what Mitch put him through. But you only get one soul mate in each life, if that persons slips away and fate offers you another chance, don't slap her hand away.

Narrated by Greg Tremblay, need I say more? His voice drips from each word like honey. Engaging, intriguing and down right sexy. He truly brings the characters to life and, I have to say, he's the only narrator that puts everything he has into each and every word. Not just subtle nuances and tones, he puts depth and feeling into the Author's words and it's simply eargasmic.

Mary Calmes believes in romance, happily ever afters, and the faith it takes for her characters to get there. She bleeds coffee, thinks chocolate should be its own food group, and currently lives in Kentucky with a five-pound furry ninja that protects her from baby birds, spiders and the neighbor’s dogs. To stay up to date on her ponderings and pandemonium (as well as the adventures of the ninja) follow her on Twitter @MaryCalmes, connect with her on Facebook, and subscribe to her Mary’s Mob newsletter.
