Counterpoint

In Vino Veritas

De: J.E. Birk, Heart Eyes Press LGBTQ

Narrado por: Tim Paige, Stephen Dexter

One playboy. One perfectionist. So many secrets.

I’m considered the biggest playboy in Burlington, Vermont. The party boy. The guy who lives in the moment and makes decisions with no thought for the future. But people don’t know my past. They don’t know why I make the choices I do. Even my best friend doesn’t know the truth about me. Actually, there are a lot of things he doesn’t know...like the fact that I had a one-night stand with his brother last year.

Did I mean to hook up with Aaron? Um, no. Mistakes were made, okay? But unlike most of my mistakes, this one has lasting consequences. Aaron works at the law firm where circumstances are forcing me to be their errand boy. Now we see each other every day. Aaron’s such a nervous wreck he keeps tripping over the copy machine. I’m surprised he hasn’t ended up in traction yet.

He and I are opposites in almost every way. He’s got a GPA higher than Mount Mansfield, and I’m barely going to graduate college. He grocery shops with a spreadsheet, and I’ve got YOLO tattooed on my body. But Aaron sees things in me that no one else does, and I see things in him he doesn’t see in himself. Before I know it, we’re sharing late-night office picnics, evenings out at the bar, and long, hot afternoons on my boat. I’m having the best summer of my life, but there’s no way this can end well. My BFF will kill me if he ever finds out how thoroughly I’ve corrupted his brother....

Counterpoint is an opposites-attract forbidden romance featuring an incense-filled law firm, meddling friends, and angst and humor in (mostly) equal parts. It stars Jeremy Everett and Aaron Morin, who first appeared in the Vino and Veritas story Booklover, but Counterpoint is a stand-alone novel.

Breath of Fresh Air

Sometimes I really don’t know what to say on some of these books besides saying that I really enjoyed listening to it. I had just come off of wasting my credit on a horrible book it wouldn’t let me return so O ended up buying a credit and got this one, and it was a breath of fresh air. I wish this is what I had spent my credit on. The duel narration was great, there was an actual story with layered emotions, great characterizations, and I just really enjoyed listening to Aaron and Jeremy’s love story. This is a book your credit will not be wasted on. A very enjoyable listen!

Really enjoyed! Great follow-up to Booklover

Booklover was one of my favorites from the previous Vino & Veritas series and I enjoyed this one just as much. I loved the two characters and revisiting with characters from the previous book in The World of True North. I look forward to more books by J.E. Birk and other authors in the series.

Interesting

I was really excited reading this. I like the small town vibes of V&V. I’m 4/6 in the series but this might be my 3rd favorite so far.
