A Shatterproof Bond / Sam Aiken Prequel short

Child protégé Sam Aiken is the youngest student studying linguistics at Oxford University. Frustratingly, being so young means Sam doesn't get to enjoy student life in the same way the older students do.

He is obsessed with his studies and is close to graduation, but when Sam's elderly Master, Professor Alfred Moxley, dies suddenly, Sam finds the replacement professor brought in to get him and his classmates through their last few months of study to be more than a little distracting. Dr. Alexander Deveraux becomes Sam's new obsession, and he wants to learn more from the young, brilliant, queer professor than just linguistics!

Short and sweet

We get to see the sexual awakening of young Sam. Gary Furlong was good at voicing the 16+ year old.
Nice flashback.

Amazing prequel.

This is such an amazing prequel to this series. It is short but sweet. Gary Furlong does an amazing job with this short story.

Absolutely loved it

I absolutely loved this short peek into Sam's past while he was at school. Isobel Starling's writing combined with Gary Furlong's wonderful delivery make for an oh so sexy vignette. I would love to read more about Sam's pre-Declan days. There is obviously a lot more history that could be shared, including about Sam and Alexander before Sir James found out about them. I am sure there was a lot more sexy fun. I highly recommend this sweet, sexy listen.

I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook from the author and have voluntarily left this honest review.

fantastic book.

TOP HAT is the prequel for Isobel Starling's Shatterproof Bond Series. It is a short story but is very entertaining- sexy, romantic, funny and amazing! Great characters that you can love. Perfect addition to the series, especially if read after books 1-3 and before book 4 as the author suggests.


Gary Furlong is a great narrator for this story. Easy to listen to voice and matches mood of the book. Great job!

What a SUMPTUOUS little piece!!

Isobel Starling + Gary Furlong = Ecstasy!!!

This was a tasty short that started out with a bang! And a top hat! 🔥🔥

We meet young Sam in this third year at Oxford as he becomes infatuated with his new, young tutor, Alexander.

For those of you that have read the ready of the Shatterproof Bond series, this is a MUST! I loved getting to know Sam before he became the secretive man we meet later on.

Alexander also intrigued me because he’s been mentioned a few times in the other books and I have a feeling we haven’t seen the last of him!

So, get your voicegasm on listening to Gary Furlong narrate Isobel’s delicious writing!!

I LOVE THIS SERIES!

I really love this series! The narration is superb! The author did a superb job with the characters! I love this author's writing style and look forward to reading more of her books! I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Sam and Alex

It was love at first listen. I am head over heels , captivated by Alex and Sam and am looking forward listening their story in the following books of the series.

This is a very short audio story, a novella that set the mood and introduces what I imagine are the two heroes of the Shatterproof Bond.

I just read , that Isobel Starling suggested that this tale should be listen after book 3 , as it will make more sense. Guess, I will be coming back and re-listen Top Hat .

Gary Furlong as the narrator was superb. So happy , he is the voice actor for the entire series.

good

short sweet and interesting. it was fun and sexy and i enjoyed it. the narrator did a good job with this.

Fantastic

It was wonderful to meet Sam Aiken while being the youngest in his linguistics class in university. In Top Hat, his adviser passes away and Sam's new adviser is very hot. Dr Alexander Deveraux is gay as well and Sam finds himself unable to resist getting to know him better. In fact he makes him his new project, making for a fun and delicious read.

Gary Fulong once again outdoes himself with his narration of Top Hat. He brings to life the characters with feeling and we have no problem experiences the emotions brought forth by his telling of the story.
