Summary

Short-tempered, arrogant heart surgeon Jason Garcia grew up wanting a close-knit family, but believes he ruined those dreams when he broke up his marriage. The benefit of divorce is having as much random sex as he wants, and it's a benefit Jason is exploiting when he meets a sweet, shy man at a bar and convinces him to go home for a no-strings-attached night of fun.

Eight years living in Las Vegas hasn't dimmed Abe Green's optimism, earnestness, or desire to find the one. When a sexy man with lonely eyes propositions him, Abe decides to give himself a birthday present - one night of spontaneous fun with no thoughts of the future. But one night turns into two and then three, and Abe realizes his heart is involved.

For the first time, Abe feels safe enough with someone he respects and adores to let go of his inhibitions in the bedroom. If Jason can get past his own inhibitions and open his heart and his life to Abe, he might finally find the family he craves.

Derivative

Tacky and predictable. Sex too frequent. Writing adequate but dull. Reader fine but annoying when tries to make lead man butch. Regret purchased.

I listened half

Very amateurish, for an author who wrote several novels already. Shallow characters. Weird, unattractive sex talk. No plot. All tell and no show.
I don't know the narrator 's influence on my detachment and the repellent sex scenes.

Sweet and hot!

They hook up early in the book and slowly work their lives together. There are minor bumps on the road, mostly a grumpy stubborn man afraid to connect to another man more than at the hips.
It is sweet and hot and Ezekiel does an excellent job making the story come to life.

as good as the ebook

The story is always full stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook. I can't listen to an audiobook without knowing the book, that's not possible for me.

The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. It took me a little bit, to come into the narrator, but at the end, it worked. I only have to take a few breaks between. I'm just not yet finish with the book, but I listen enough to give a review.

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!

To my ratings:

5* - very very good
it's like an A+

4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A

3* - it's more then a one-time-listening.
it's like a B

Lovely story, hate the narration

I love this story and I've read it several times, but the narration is cringe inducing. Haven't been able to finish it after several stops and starts.

Great Story

Well up to Cardeno C standards. The narration was good. The story made me laugh and cry. And for me the story is complete no loose ends. And a good ending.

Outstanding story: Love, Need, Hope & Family.

What made the experience of listening to The Half of Us the most enjoyable?

Ezekiel's narration is outstanding. The voices wonderful. Just as I imagined them when I first read the book.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I loved Abe. He's such a sweetheart with his desire to love Jason despite his faults and to take on challenging teen children. Jason himself is wonderfully strong and driven, and chastened by the mistakes he felt he'd made in the past. The desire of both men for a family is tangible.

Have you listened to any of Ezekiel Robison’s other performances? How does this one compare?

This is my first Ezekiel Robinson story, I'll be sure to look him up in future.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Definitely! I laughed and cried! Cardeno C's writing is so beautifully sensitive and funny, but the characters are genuinely developed and drive the story too, so it's moving.

Any additional comments?

This is a must read/listen for fans of gay romance. A classic!
