Finding Home at Randy's

The quiet one, the outgoing one, the observant one. They shouldn't work, but against all odds, they learn the meaning of home, together.

Luka: Boston is a fresh start, a chance to live my life on my terms, rather than doing what my family expects of me. Though, to my disappointment, my anxiety and insecurities made the cross-country move with me.

When a co-worker introduces me to Randy’s Diner, at first, I’m not sure what to expect, but the warm and welcoming people who treat the diner like a second home show me a world of inclusion that I've only ever dreamed about. And then I meet not one but two people, who somehow manage to see through every wall I’ve ever tried to hide behind.

Graeme: Since my divorce, my life has been…stagnant. Other than my son, my ex-husband turned best friend, and my career as an author, Randy’s Diner has been the only way to break up the monotony.

Luka catches my attention from the first glimpse. His shy smile and perpetual blush draw me in, making the caretaker instincts I buried long ago rise to the surface. But when he befriends the one person I can’t have, I’m convinced I’ve lost my shot before I can even ask for a chance.

Denver: I can flirt and make friends with anyone, so it’s no hardship to take the new face I meet at Randy’s under my wing. Luka is adorably shy, and I make it my mission to help him feel comfortable in his own skin.

The closer we get, the more our feelings for one another grow, but it’s not just Luka I’m interested in. Where my confidence and open nature helps me bring Luka out of his shell, I feel like a fumbling teenager around Graeme. So when it becomes apparent the other man is also interested in Luka, things get…complicated.

It’ll take a lot of trust in each other, ourselves, and the new discoveries we’re making, in order to ensure the fragile relationship between the three of us lasts. But together, we might just find safety and the home we’ve always longed for.

give me all the at randys audiobooks

In Abriannas audiobook debut they paired with Cole Michael Kurcz, and it just makes a beautiful story better. Cole did an amazing job in making each of these characters separate, including secondary characters who are a big part of the overall story. Really adored he used a French accent when they spoke French. It just gives it that extra sweet touch I appreciate in audiobooks when done right. It was a great start, and I hope to see more of this world brought to aufio in the future.


Abrianna has shown us the beauty that is a perfect dysfunctional functional family. These characters are so intertwined together that you feel all their love for each and every single aspect of this life they are building. Grae & Rory may be divorced, yet they still show an unbreakable bond in raising their son Cal. Enter Luka & Denver two men who were meant to be brought into the fold to make this family complete. They understand the dynamics and don't fight them they embrace and encourage showing true maturity in this relationship.
This story does have less angst than a typical Abrianna story, yet you still feel their voice. You see the same passion and deep emotions without the angst, proving how well rounded of a writer they are. Didn't think A Gentle Way to Love could be passed in my regards a favorite, and yet here we are. Truly spectacular and can not wait to see what they have in store for us next in this universe.
