Publisher's Summary:
Tracy Brandt considers himself a lucky man. He has a wonderful family, good friends, and a dependable job. His love life, however, features a cheating ex who, though out of the house, is not yet out of the picture - with a past that just might get Tracy killed.
Homicide inspector Cord Nolan wants nothing more than to show his best friend's little brother that he's a reliable man, but to do that he'll have to get Tracy to look past the player he used to be. It'll be a tough sell; reputation is everything, and Cord's is tarnished by his past indiscretions.
Tracy and Cord have spent five years trying to suffocate their fiery attraction under a blanket of grudging antagonism. When Tracy finds himself with a target on his back, Cord finally has the chance to ride to the rescue and break through the dam of Tracy's reserve. But he'd better be careful: if Cord is breaking the floodgates to wash away the past, he's going to have to hold tight to Tracy to make sure they're still standing when the tumult recedes.
Members Reviews:
Matter of Time Lite
If you liked A Matter of Time you will like this book. It is complete with a "Jory and Sam like" MCs, namely Tracy and Cord. It has a good murder mystery and protector vibe, a loving family on Tracy's side, and all round fun listen. Although there are a couple of characters that seem to go nowhere; which leads me to believe there may be a sequel. The narrator does a good job overall and really kept me engaged. I actually like the audio better than the ebook. Worth a credit.
Actually better than the ebook version.
What made the experience of listening to Floodgates the most enjoyable?
Yes. The narrator had a pleasant voice, he inserted some acting into his narration but wasn't over-the-top.
Would you recommend Floodgates to your friends? Why or why not?
I don't actually know anyone else in my circle who reads m/m romance...
What about Michael Anthonys performance did you like?
Pleasant voice, sounded like he actually enjoyed narrating the story, and characters were distinct enough that it wasn't hard to follow the dialogue.
If you could rename Floodgates, what would you call it?
It's All About Breckin.
Or
There's Something About Breckin
Or
Being Breckin
Any additional comments?
Story would have been a lot better if the whole thing didn't revolve around the ex-boyfriend. He wasn't even interesting or likable but everything was about him.
Mary Calmes=Crack for the Soul.
Would you recommend Floodgates to your friends? Why or why not?
Well, I finished this little "gem" on the way home from work today.
What can I say that every other review hasn't already?
My Audible App: "MICH, YOU HAVE TO READ THIS!"
Me: "Ok, But Audible, I keep rating Mary Calmes books with like 3 stars worth of eh!... Why do you keep recommending them to me!!??"
My Audible App: Because apparently you like books with 2 hot guys getting themselves in all sorts of shenanigans, HEA's, and I think cops and Russians?
Me: SOB, it's a conspiracy.
Well, the narrator was good. Relaxing to listen to and was a perfect fit for Tracey, the main character. Oh Tracey. He was sometimes so VOID of common sense through the book that I had to wonder how he put both shoes on in the morning.
Listening to the storyline is a whole other bag of WTF.
