Discover Me

A Gay May-December Romance

By: Romeo Alexander

Narrated by: Stone Canon

Sometimes, the world demands too much, and the need to escape becomes overwhelming.

An almost doctor who is tired of faking it....

Thomas “Tom” Dimitri Harris always thinks 12 steps ahead in a conversation - even if that means missing what the person is saying at the moment. It’s not that he doesn’t care about the other person, it’s that he’s too busy worrying about his future. While his parents desperately want him to be a doctor, Tom is suffocating from their expectations. So, he makes the radical decision to break free and drop out of the pathology program that he’s been working toward his entire life.

An actor who wants a break from fame....

Owen Enstrom is the most sought-after man in Hollywood right now, but he needs to escape. He knows that without a drastic change to his hectic lifestyle he’s headed for a very public, very embarrassing breakdown. So, Owen books a private train compartment on a cross-country trip. Suddenly, he feels freer than ever before and closer to becoming a more honest, happier version of himself.

Breaking down walls instead of just breaking down....

Now, Tom and Owen are on the same track to freedom, on the same train, and in the same compartment. Both want to find a real connection that will bring them happiness. Will Tom be able to cast aside his anxiety and doubt and live in the moment? How long can Owen keep Tom from discovering his secret?

Take a ride on this train of passion, desire, and self-discovery. Discover Me is a steamy, soul-searching M/M romance featuring a virgin ingenue and an experienced older man who find love and each other.

Nice story

I received an ARC of this story for my honest review. Tom is in school to become a doctor but he decides to drop out instead. He is out with his friend and winds up telling her about it even though she's upset with him about it and tries to tell him he needs to go back to school so his parents don't cut him off. He decides to jump on a moving train not knowing where it's going or what he's going to do. Owen decides he's had enough of everyone telling him what to do and how to look so he decides to get on a train and travel for 2 weeks. He's outside his cabin smoking when someone jumps on the train. He takes Tom to his cabin so no one sees him. They both have secrets that they haven't told each other. The narrator does a great job with making the characters sound differently as your in their conversation.

enjoyed it

Would I listen to it again: yes
Did the story keep me engaged: yes
Was I invested in the characters: yes

Story comment? nice pace, well written characters and an interesting story of two men just wanting to get away from their real worlds for a while. I enjoyed watching Tom and Owen's unusual journey to finding their HEA.

Narrator comment: I enjoyed Stone Canon's narration and think he's done a good job narrating Discover Me. The rhythm, inflections and intonations all worked to bring the book to life. He does good voices for the female characters (which is ofter a problem for male narrators), but I would have liked a stronger difference between the sound of Tom and Owen's voices and the narrative. The sound differences in their voices was subtle and their personalities was enough to give them each their own voice, but it would have been easier to distinguish who was speaking and the narrative if there was a stronger difference. This is only a minor critique though, and not enough to stop me from listening to the book again.

Terrific!

This is a sweet, fast-paced story. Tom and Owen are two men when need a break from life. They met in an unusual circumstance and from there help each other in various ways. The narrator does a nice job of bringing the characters to life. I enjoyed seeing a character with autism as a lead character. I enjoyed following along on Tom and Owen’s journey.

great story

loved story, the narrator has a pleasant voice. However, with no change in voice or distinction between carractor lines, it was a little hard to follow.
overall, it's a great story.
