Love is strong for these strong men
I was captivated by this series when I first read the books. There is excellent building up of storylines and the characters of more than one book appear in the other volumes.
The narrated was good, however sometimes I had to get used to tone and type of voice that was chosen for a character. However it did not deter me from listening the complete bundle. Looking forward to more in this series.

Yummy
Nothing beats 21 hours of nonstop sweet, sexy, hilarious MM stories! Susan Hawke created a big gay world full of amazing characters, interesting plot lines and spicy scenes! Michael Dean is, as usual, an amazing narrator and brings passion and life to yet another wonderful collection of stories! Hawke’s characterization of all the main and side characters in these stories was amazing. Each character is full of depth and intrigue. They are so full of their own personality and morality, their quirks and individuality making each one stand out from the crowd. The plot of each story is vastly different and keeps listeners/readers hooked on every word. From angst and new love to sexual tension and heated moments, the stories will keep you on your toes, laughing and eager for more. Michael Dean is one of those Narrators where I pick a book based on two factors: MM AND Michael Dean is reading it. He brings emotion and oomph to every character, thought and scene. His voice is crisp, clear and laced with enthusiasm. His narration of this story is wonderful!!

Read at 1.15 speed on Audible.
Brilliant series when I read these, bringing them to life by Michael Dean just made them better.
Each book is brilliant in its own right. Fun, laughter. Put 5 together and you get 21hrs of pure heaven.
Book1 How Not to Blend we meet Sassy Drag Queen (Kandi) Andy, Dr Hottie (Corbin), his son Grayson and Gam Gam. Great main characters and side characters. Hilarious, b*tchy but brilliantly written. Great story, covers Bi, nonbinary, father/son relationships as in coming out. Grandson/Grandma relationships when both are full of sass. Seriously a must read/listen. This shows the issues families go through when a child shows as nonbinary.
Book2 How Not to Tuck. Short novella but a must read/ listen. We again meet Honey Combover (Larry) and Godric Sheppard. Honey is hilarious and has a problem with his/her ability to tuck and tape. Seriously we are talking laugh out loud incidents. This book shows issues at work and discrimination that LGBT community go through.
Book 3 How Not to Sin. Rev Gabe meets Seth, this is a great book about a Rev who runs an LGBT friendly church, but some of the towns residents don't believe its needed. And a guy who runs a Holistic Healing shop and yoga studio. They both face and fight the anti gay hate group together. Another book that hits heads straight on to yet another issue LGBT go through.
Book 4 How Not to Wait Prequal to the series. 10 years before present day. Another short but no less brilliant, Shaw (College student) meets Nick (Dads best friend, ex Navy). Shaw has always wanted a night with Nick, does he get lucky?
Book 5 How Not to Break. Ten years later from book 4, we meet Nick St Cloud again and this time he's running his bar/club and celibate. After living with guilt for 10 years, he meets Shaw again, but will things be better this time around. We have a stalker and a natural protector. Again a great book and rounding up the 5 book audio. Just Great, seriously a must buy. What's not to like. No cliffhangers.

Scary moments on the way to love 💘
You don't want a stalker ever especially when they are fitting your security alarm 😏 but if it paves the way to the love of your life there's a happy ending.

Great value, lovely stories and great narration
This compilation of stories includes the first 4 books plus the short prequel story 'How not to Wait'. I have read all of these books previously but in this case the audio is WELL worth enjoying as well. The narration really added to the stories with distinctive voices that really bought the books to life. The first two books are a hoot - particularly Honey/Larry and Godrick with some genuine uplifting feel good moments to go alongside them. I have to admit that How Not to Sin wasn't my favorite book when I read it - but I found myself enjoying Seth and Gabe's story much more in audio. Nick and Shaw are the most frustrating couple! The story in this one is really strong and I love the mystery element but goodness me I wanted to just smack Nick around the head and give Shaw a huge hug!!!
Susan Hawke is such a great, versatile writer and this compilation really shows how she moves from humour to quite serious drama easily. I love the way these books mesh together and I will absolutely be returning to them again for another listen.

A great bundle and deal
This is a great bundle of romance novels from an author I came to know through her shifter romances. Her handling of contemporary non-shifter characters is equally masterful. My particular favorites are the first and third books, How not to Blend and How not to Sin. I adore any book that involves a barista/coffeshop and when you combine that with a great drag queen I'm sold. Sin deals with homophobia in the church and its effect on the clergy and I was completely drawn in and felt so sad for the characters struggling to live their authentic lives and worship in spite of that. Michael Dean gives his usual flawless performance. Every character is distinct, which is incredibly difficult in a bundle where listeners tend to binge, and his ability to hot all emotional colors is fantastic.

Great series
I absolutely love this series.
Realistic, emotionally compelling characters who feel like they could be your best friends in a small town setting and a wonderful sense of found family.
Michael Dean is of course excellent at bringing these complex characters to life so vividly.
