S.E.X. Audio Review~ Falling for My Roommate by Garrett Leigh~ Narrated by Dan Calley

Falling for his roommate gives ex-footballer Micah the second chance he deserves, and what could be better than loving your best friend?

Micah

I’m a broke ex-football player with a bum leg and PTSD. Last summer, I had two choices: the streets, or find a cheap room to rent in the city. I chose the second option, which landed me with a brand-new problem, because I hadn’t banked on my roommate becoming my best friend. Or that before long, I’d find myself head over heels in love with him.

Trouble is, even if Sam likes me back, I ain’t fit to be no one’s boyfriend. I don’t know how. All I do is wade through every precious moment and hope that he doesn’t regret the day he ever met me.

Sam

I’m a gay book nerd with no business falling in love with hunky athletes. Micah is the dictionary definition of beautiful, inside and out. He just doesn’t know it. And he definitely doesn’t know I’m ridiculously in love with him. The embarrassing kind of love.

He’s all I can think about.

But it’s not as simple as loving someone who doesn’t love me back. Micah is damaged goods - at least, that’s how he’d put it. The world has chewed him up and spat him out, and he thinks he deserved it. That he’s still the battered mess he was a year ago.

I want to shake him, and shout in his face that he’s not. To force the truth on him and make him believe in himself the way I do. But I can’t save Micah. One day, perhaps, he’ll realize that he already saved himself.

PREVIOUSLY REVIEWED~ CONTAINS AUDIO REVIEW

Falling for My Roommate by Garrett Leigh was an angst filled tale of two very different men who found each other at a low point and build a lasting relationship based on a friendship of love and understanding.

I adored both Sam and Micah. Ms. Leigh, one of my favorite authors, has a way of creating flawed and realistic characters that draw you in- suck the marrow from the bone- and deliver a transfusion of sensuality and awareness.

Depth of imperfection radiated throughout, with credible storyline and even more so, credible characters. Characters whose survival of the soul depended on each other and modern medicine- where mental distress could be overwhelming and not made light of. All problems are not fixed in a novel when the words The End are written, but continue to develop throughout with the knowledge that even when you finish the book, the characters evolution will continue, and transform them into something that only your imagination can conjure.

Ms. Leigh is a masterful artist and has honed her craft to the fullest. A story worthy of a read.

Audio Review - Dan Calley

Whenever I read a book, in my mind I create the voices of the characters as I envision them through the author's eyes. My musings did not do justice to the voice of narrator Dan Calley. His accent was amazing and I was catapulted across the sea to the U.K. and the lives of Sam and Micah. The distinction between the two men was palpable and the inflection resonated throughout as I listened. 

Already a wonderful story, Mr. Calley's narration only enhanced and elevated Falling for My Roommate.
