A new job, a new city, and hopefully a new life. When chubby gamer Oliver Barnaby receives a job offer from the best boutique game developer in the country, he leaves his family and his less than spectacular existence in Oklahoma without a second's hesitation. Determined to change more than his career and his geography, Oliver implements a plan to finally land a boyfriend. Step one is improving his skills in the bedroom. Attractive, successful, charismatic Jaime Snow has a life other people envy. His already booming business is growing. He isn't lacking friends. And he has no trouble finding a date. But there's an emptiness in Jaime's heart and a hole in his life that only the right man can fill. When Oliver and Jaime end up at the same bar at the same time, they each see something they want in the other. Going to bed together that first night is easy. Building the lifetime relationship they both desperately crave will require trust, time, and a little understanding. ©2016 Cardeno C. (P)2016 Cardeno C.

Unbelieveably, this is a Cardeno C story that I have not even read.!!  I really loved this story, and as soon as I started listening, I was pulled right in.  The narrator Michael Ferraiuolo is one I have not heard before, but I could listen to his voice all day. 

I fell in love with Oliver straight away.  He is a shy, quiet man who has decided that he as he has a new job in a new town, that he will also try to find himself a boyfriend..... only problem is his confidence in himself.  He formulates a plan, and his first step is to be better in the bedroom, he goes down rather an unorthodox road to accomplish this!! 

Jaime Snow seems to have everything he wants, he has friends, his own company which is growing more each year, and dates whenever he either needs or wants them..... but he is not fulfilled.  He is missing that special person in his life.

Completely by accident, Oliver and Jaime meet, but from the beginning you realise there is rather a huge miscommunication between the two. I won't say what this is, as it is a big part of the story, but suffice to say Jaime is keeping a big secret from Oliver, and who knows how he will react when he finds out the truth.

The way that Oliver and Jaime begin to date and then grow closer is really special to listen to.  I think I loved this story as although they went to bed together the first night, they weren't meeting each other every single day after that, they made arrangements to meet on specific days. 

The two seem to be growing closer and closer, until the day that Oliver realises the truth about Jaime, about exactly who he is and this causes Oliver to doubt what Jaime ever saw in him.  All his old insecurities seem to surface again, much to Jaime's dismay.

​Can Jaime convince Oliver that everything he has said he meant, and that his deception wasn't meant to hurt Oliver but he didn't know how to tell him the truth.
