Jeremiah

A Multicultural Gay Romance (High Rise, Book 1)

By: Jayce Ellis

Narrated by: Ace Bentley, Jameson Adams

“Romance readers will eagerly devour this upbeat contemporary and look forward to Ellis’ next.” (Publishers Weekly)

Jeremiah Stewart’s sexuality is no one’s business. Not that he’s hiding it. When - if - he finds the right one, he’ll absolutely introduce him to Mom. But a late-night brush with a sexy stranger in too much lip gloss has him rethinking nearly everything....

To Collin Galloway, direction is a four-letter word. Sure, he hates his job, he hates living with his parents, and he really hates watching everyone move on without him. But he doesn’t know what he wants to do, long-term, and he won’t figure it out by thirsting over Jeremiah, the superhot, super-intense paramedic who is suddenly everywhere Collin looks.

When Jeremiah’s faced with losing all he’s worked so hard to build, he reluctantly accepts Collin’s help. They’re both determined to stay professional…which works about as well as either would imagine. But Collin only does closets with clothes, and Jeremiah has to decide if he’s finally found the one worth bringing home to Mom.

Great exploration of the journey to find love.

I love the cultural and ethnic diversity of the characters. The story was very interesting and warm. It had unexpected twists.

Steamy!

I enjoyed this book. The story felt natural and not rushed. The love scenes were very entertaining. I blushed a few times!

Awesome!!!!!

The story was very real and “fairytale” at the same time! It’s wonderful to read about gay love and not having promiscuous undertones.

Beautiful Story! ❤️

Wow! This was my first book by this author and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was well narrated and the story was brilliant. It's not frequent that I read books and really like both main as well as the side characters. If I had any minor complaints, they would have been the mother's selfishness with her choices which clearly affected her children's lives so negatively. Not once did she apologize for what she did and it caused the relationship between her and Storm to suffer greatly and was left unresolved. I also felt that the author leaving the situation between Jeremiah and Johnny with no closure took a little away from the story, as did the decision to not include at least one reunion with them and their dad. For that reason alone I deducted a half a star from the rating of the story itself.

Though I joined audible some time ago and have over a dozen books in my library, this is my first time listening to a book straight through with barely any interruptions...it was THAT good! And while I have every intention of listening to it again, I also look forward to reading Andre-- the next book in the series. Well done, Jayce Ellis! 4.5 ⭐

Nice story

This was a good book overall… the story started off a little slow, but started to get a bit more interesting like about 60-65% into the story. I’m going to surmise that that fact was due to the fact that this book is apart of a series, and it is building up to one “grand climax”… either way I’m gonna try to check out the other books in this series at some point and see how I like those.

So Real!

I enjoyed the hell out of this book!!! I found myself grinning and sometimes LoL! The story of these guys meeting and getting together felt like life happening rather than fictional fantasy. Don't get me wrong, I love a good suspension of disbelief but that wasn't necessary here. I liked how you heard the story of the guys work life, social life and love life. Woven together in such a way it was like hanging out with friends! I felt like the guys were a great match.
I thought the narrator for Jaramiah was perfect and spot on. The narrator for Collin sounded a bit to old but it wasn't so much that I couldn't settle in and really enjoy the story.
Overall, I recommend this book highly and after listening to the preview for the next book in the series, I'll be getting that one!

Great Story

Awesome book! I truly enjoyed I also like the narration. This book was a breath of fresh air.

Love this

I love that they found each other and helped each other through their struggles. I love love

Typical twink meets knight in shining armor

I had high hopes for this book. I was looking for originality. There’s no real plot/climax. It’s also overly unrealistic. Booooooooo! I wish I could get a refund or at least 9 hours of my life back.
