Belens Audio Book Review

Talk about timing…I literally just re-read this story three days before it suddenly appeared in my Audible feed. Which meant I wasn’t exactly chomping at the bit to download it…until I saw who is narrating: Greg Tremblay. Ding, ding, ding! Instant download!

oh_yeah

This short novella is entertainingly narrated by Greg Tremblay (naturally) who subtly brings out the nuances of this hurt/comfort story. This is one of Calmes’ darker premise stories and I eat it up with a spoon every time. Leo is a lovable grump, and Charlie is obviously (to everyone but Leo) head over heels for Leo.

“I’ve been here, living in your world, for the past three years. I’ve seen you mad and happy and hurt and… I’ve seen it all, but never once, in all that time, have I seen what you look like when you’re in love. I wanna see that.”

My only complaint, which is always the same with Calmes’ novellas – I WANT MORE! I really like Leo and Charlie and want more of their story.

All in all the story is really enjoyable and Tremblay’s narration is wonderful.

Recommended!

I read this book a few years ago and still think of it regularly. I wanted so much more of it!
