Story
Jett is accustomed to people thinking he’s an intimidating, aloof loner. He doesn’t really mind, even though finding a special connection to someone would be nice. Opening his own tattoo shop on Cravenwood Block is a dream come true, but he isn’t prepared for the determined little ray of sunshine who walks through his door and turns his entire world upside down.

Story
This week hasn’t gone the best for me unless you count Casimir, the sexy ancient vampire, bringing me back from the brink of death (and tying my fate to his in the process). Not that it matters if the werewolves and vampires don’t stop their ridiculous feud, because someone is targeting them and widening the divide between our communities with each body they leave in their wake. But as the alpha’s son, I have a plan to fix everything. I’m going to convince Casimir to fake date me to show the others that we can work together. I mean… what could go wrong?

Story
When Sorcerer Adrien Danvers takes on a job that leads him into the slums of England, he never imagined he'd end up with not one but two apprentices. Despite his doubts about himself, he's the only chance the two pre-teens have to escape their hellish life. When Sir Hugh Quartermain contracts him to deal with the mysterious circumstances surrounding his home on the Isle of Man, Adrien finds the more time they spend together, the more his walls come down around the beguiling engineer—an unusual occurrence and a terrifying prospect.

Story
I live a simple, small-town life. Helping with the family restaurant, my side gig as a ride-share driver, hanging with my best friend, and making the most of the extra time with my ghost grandma. The only exciting thing to happen to me in the past year was when Gabe moved to town—too bad Nonna scared him off. It’s hard to impress a guy when your dead grandmother calls him the devil.

Story
When you can talk to ghosts, things are bound to get spirited. The ghosts have been there since before I can remember. When I was a kid, they doted on me, but as I got older, they got more demanding. I’ve spent my whole life seeing and talking to dead people and trying to pretend I’m not, because the living just don’t understand. Nobody wants to be around the freak who claims to see ghosts. Until I go to Mannix Estate.

Being invited to my cousin’s wedding really shouldn’t be a big deal except, oh yeah, I haven't seen my family for a decade. My parents turned their backs on me, and I’ve done everything since to become successful and show them what they've lost. Only it’s kinda hard to be a success when you’re a walking trainwreck.

Publisher's summary
Ollie isn’t one to hold back, so when he sees a sexy older man in the Cravenwood diner, he goes right ahead and opens his mouth. Getting shot down doesn’t deter him, but maybe he should focus more on the new boss he’s getting at work before he continues trying to hook up with the stranger.
Sebastian is one bad situation from considering himself washed-up. He took the job on Cravenwood Block as a stepping stone up and out of the hole he’s found himself in, but he has no plans to stick around. If he could just find a place to live and get started on working through this temporary obstacle, he’d be feeling a bit more confident.
Ollie and Sebastian don’t have any business getting involved, but fate seems to have different plans. Too many things keep bringing them together—forcing both men to see maybe there’s more between them than their messed-up pasts.
*Ollie & Bash: On Cravenwood Block is a steamy, opposites-attract, roommates-to-lovers, boss/employee, age-gap M/M romance featuring a man not looking for love and a younger music director with no filter.*

Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Romance can be a little complicated when you get sucked into a wormhole. Just ask high school English teacher June Flint. One little solar flare happens and suddenly you find yourself 85 years in the future. Eighty-five years from your dream job. Your ailing mother whose only companion in this world is you. Your favorite stuffed-crust pizza from DeLucia’s on Sunday nights. But when June’s cell phone inexplicably picks up a signal, she’s able to call back to the present—more specifically, four weeks before she accidentally time traveled.

Beyond Cravenwood door #2
Ollie & Bash
The Cravenwood Block crew are so much fun to read/listen to! Ollie & Bash's story is so sweet overall, and their connection and relationship soars over the age gap that Bash seems to think should matter. The guys discover they both had rough childhoods in one way or another. And come to discover a fascinating fate-like coincidence between their remaining families. This story just kept giving more and more reasons to love these two! There were some tense moments that encourages the guys to confess their feelings--to themselves, and one another, but very low on the angst overall.
The added side characters for each of our MCs were wonderful additions to the crew in this story as well. They all add a small element of humor and meld in well with all the love shared between the guys.
I received an authorized copy of this story/audiobook and am volunteering my honest review.

Great Gay Series Book 2 in the On Cravenwood Block
Cravenwood Block, named after the developer Robert Cravenwood, was established twenty five years prior within a city when the proposed plans were to demolish the buildings for a parking lot. Cravenwood saw the potential in renovation and revitalization of the area creating a community with a community near midtown.
Cravenwood Apartments Towers, better known as CAT A & B, have unique upper floor housing arrangements similar to dorm suites complete with 8 bedrooms. Tower A's Cravenwood employee residents are the focus of this series. Well developed relatable characters, Ollie and Bash are the second two of the eight roommates, featured in this book. The rest of the roommates were introduced in first book will be elaborated in their respective books. With this information reiterated in each book, you do not have to follow the series in order. The books overlap timewise.
Ollie & Bash features a meet cute, soon to be co-workers, age gap, roommate to lovers with a bit of suspense troupes.
Oliver aka Ollie Meyer is another secure in his skin as twenty four year old a gay man, director of music at the Education Center. In the prime of his life, he has no qualms of pursuing what and whom he wants. Bash, a significantly older man with a wise old owl persona, is firmly in his crosshairs not once, but twice before they meet as new co-workers.
Leighton, from the previous book, and Ollie are best friends with much the same personalities. Their energy and mischievousness feed off one another.
Sebastian aka Bash Evans finds himself unwillingly is starting over at forty two years old as the director of the Cravenwood Education Center, a position he was overqualified for. Middle aged with a bitter taste from his previous University job from across town, he is only looking for a brief stepping stone till he can get his life back on track. An unfounded scandal lead him to resign making the need to distance himself from the immediate past. Not looking to make deep connections, he tries to ward off Ollie's Labrador Retriever, "let's be friends" advances. LuLu, the aunt who raised him was the only reason he stuck around, that is until now.
Ollie and Bash are about to find out that even though age may separate them, shared similar life experiences are about to unite them. Overcoming obstacles from both their individual pasts and their shared current circumstances aren't the only things they have in common.
Parallels with Jett & Leighton, while present, doesn't make this a cookie cutter one mold fits all series. There are plenty of new ideas and storyline varieties that makes this book a stand alone read.
Oliver Young-Apstein again gives a pleasant performance that could be improved by better distinguishing the multiple male characters. Definitely better than virtual voice narrated, but not as great as other narrated books by voice actors.
My second criticism is for whatever reason, the menu/chapter function was not present on this book. This is the first book I've encountered this issue. There was no ability to go forward or backward through the chapters other than in the thirty second intervals. I had to listen to it completely on one device, otherwise it was starting over from the beginning.
