Off Base

By: Annabeth Albert

Narrated by: Tyler Stevens

After trading the barracks for a fixer-upper rental, navy SEAL Zack Nelson wants peace, not a roommate—especially not Pike, who sees things about Zack he most wants to hide. Pike's flirting puts virgin Zack on edge. And the questions Pike's arrival would spark from Zack's teammates about his own sexuality? Nope. Not going there. But Zack can't refuse.

Pike Reynolds knows there won't be a warm welcome in his new home. What can he say? He's an acquired taste. But he needs this chance to get his life together. Also, teasing the uptight SEAL will be hella fun. Still, Pike has to tread carefully; he's had his fill of tourists in the past, and he can't risk his heart on another, not even one as hot, as built—and, okay, yeah, as adorable—as Zack.

Living with Pike crumbles Zack's restraint and fuels his curiosity. He discovers how well they fit together in bed…in the shower…in the hallway…

He needs Pike more than he could have imagined, yet he doesn't know how to be the man Pike deserves.

Critic reviews

"Narrator Tyler Stevens captures Zack's agonizing dilemma as he wavers between coming out and bowing to family expectations. He voices Zack as a tough SEAL who struggles with his emotions. Pike comes across as a confident flirt with an unspoken fear of getting hurt. Stevens uses a slightly higher register for Pike and a vulnerable gruffness for Zack, which works well in their dialogue and bedroom scenes. Secondary characters from Zack's military and Pike's academic circles are differentiated and memorable. Stevens makes their courtship sweet and sexy." (AudioFile)

Love this book

This was a cute coming out story, loved it. I want listen to the rest of the books.

too much drama packed up at the end but very good and sweet story. Really recommend this one

Support of Friends

Just when you think you're all alone your real friends step up. An endearing love story between two men. Finding love when you're in the closet and a Navy Seal couldn't be more off-limits. Unsure of who you are and how, where and who will be the one that brings you into the light of your true self. Finding support where you least expected it. I loved the story and fell in love with the characters. Grabbing the opportunity to kiss and feel what you've secretly been wanting is oh, so satisfying. Just the right amount of heat with a few hot descriptions finally fulfills the readers need to take things to the next level. All male cast and great narration.

Annabeth Albert is becoming one of my favorite authors. The character development is so good. The side characters have personality and a good story. The novels are always more than you think they are going to be. So good.

Loved Off Base

I was pleased with this audio story. The narrator did a great job distinguishing the different characters and portraying the characters feelings. I listened to the whole story in a single listen.

Awesome Listen

The narrator is a perfect choice for this one. I absolutely loved the kindle version and had to add the audiobook. I’m glad I did.
