Publisher's Summary:

A novel in the Tav series

Davo's a pretty average guy. He has a decent job, owns his own home, and spends his weekends at the pub. He fully accepts that he's gay, but doesn't want to be one of those gays who are girly. He likes football and other masculine pursuits, and firmly avoids anything that could be seen as femme - including relationships that last beyond 15 minutes.

Then Davo's friend and gay idol not only gets a boyfriend, but also adopts a baby girl. Davo is seriously spooked and scuttles down to the pub. That's where he meets Lee, cute from her cherry-red hair to her pretty little dress and pointy red shoes. Davo is charmed - but how is that possible? He's gay. Isn't he? Then Lee tells him he's actually a guy - he just likes to wear women's dresses occasionally. Thoroughly confused about an attraction that's out of character for him, Davo begins the long journey to where he can accept himself without caring what everyone else thinks.

Humorous & Fun Listen

Any additional comments?

Sure, you have to bear with the story a bit to get through some of Davo's thickness in the beginning...but it's worth it to stick it through.

Wonderfully pitched with romance, humor, very little angst, and some very hot sexy times, I especially loved Dave Gillies performance. His character voices, his pacing, and timing are all done really well.

A thoroughly entertaining listen.

4.5 stars- Bring on some happy

I didnt know what to expect when I signed up to review this audiobook. I hadnt previously read anything by the author, but saw some of my Goodreads friends really enjoyed it and was intrigued by the Australian narrator. By the time I was a third of the way through, I was recommending it to others. You Are the Reason made me repeatedly smile, sigh, and laugh. Its the perfect choice if youre looking for something lighter with good character development but low angst.

Upon first meeting Davo, I wasnt sold on his character. He had a causal, friendly vibe that appealed and I liked his sense of humor. However, he was so anti all things femme and wore his reproach like a badge of honor that I couldnt quite like him. This ended up being a prime set-up to a major character overhaul that lasted much of the book. While this book included the story of Davo and Lees romance, it more precisely followed Davo as new people and experiences in his life forced him to evaluate his discomfort with anything he deemed too femme, stereotypically gay, and pink. I really liked the way Miss Kaye approached his character and developed his personality steadily. Over the course of the book the reader learns the details as to why Davo has these assertions, and I was surprisingly empathetic to his character considering how much I initially balked at his negativity. I think this was helped in part with how quickly Davo acknowledged his shortcomings and became committed to changing for the better, never blaming others or trying to insist they change to make him more comfortable. I also really liked Lee. The story is entirely from Davos point of view, so the reader doesnt get to know Lee quite as intimately, but his character did have a good amount of depth and I found his personality interesting and completely charming.
