• Quinn Donahue will do anyone once, so when Aaron Miller spots Quinn making his moves in a Vancouver gay bar, Aaron thinks he's found just the guy to relieve him of his unwanted virginity. Quinn, however, has apparently decided to make an exception to his usual open-bed policy. He may be an unrepentant connoisseur of one-night stands, but he's not going to disappoint a sweet kid like Aaron by giving him a hot night and then leaving while the sheets are still warm. 
• 
  
• After Quinn takes a job at Aaron's family horse farm, Aaron spots both the demons and the decency that drive Quinn's frequent brush-offs, and it makes Aaron want him even more. But Quinn is determined that Aaron won't go home with a man who doesn't deserve him, so he starts sending likely candidates Aaron's way. It takes a grim act of sacrifice for Aaron to realize exactly why Quinn's been so skittish, and he’ll have to keep a firm grip on the man of his dreams to keep Quinn from shying away.

"More like running away"

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Perhaps. The story itself was what I didn't care much for, but the narration was excellent which actually made the book sound better. 

What do you think your next listen will be?

Rebel by Rhys Ford 

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

I have, a few, yes. I like the emotion he captures with tones and nuances, it feeds into the characters and makes them seem real. 

Was Shying Away worth the listening time?

Yes, it was. 

Any additional comments?

The story fell flat for me. Quinn came was not a likeable character in my mind and though he made a turn for the better toward the end, it felt forced in a way. I felt bad for Aaron, the way Quinn constantly rebuffed him but the romance that ensued was good and I finally started to understand the mechanics of their relationship, but then the story ended.

Not my favorite audio, sadly, but the narration was great.
