Audiobook Review: Love You So Hard (Love You So Stories #1) by Tara Lain


Third Edition

Craig Elson’s life has hit rock bottom. Even though he’s one of the best strategic planners around, a more confident guy takes credit for his work, and despite being a good-looking man, he suffers insults from the slimiest creep at the bar. Taking care of his beloved mom, who has Alzheimer’s, uses all his funds, leaving him in a plain, depressing car… and a plain, depressing life.

Until he sees gorgeous grad student Jesse Randall and his T-shirt that reads “I Would Bottom You So Hard.” The message seeps into Craig’s soul, and he asks Jesse to teach him to top.

Jesse’s had his eye on the quiet hottie who comes into the coffee shop, and he’s more than eager to perfect his tutoring. He sets out to get Craig a new job, a new apartment, and a new life so far outside plain and depressing that it’s unrecognizable.The problem is, Craig loves his lessons—and his teacher—too much to want to graduate. How can Craig reach the top without losing his sassy bottom?

Reviewer: Shee Reader

This story has everything: a gorgeous guy with low self esteem, a series of bad days at work and lots of pressure, a confident hotty and a bunch of fake dates. Perfect!

After seeing a guy who stole his ideas promoted above him, Craig decides to take some leave from work and decides to proposition the adorable guy he’s seen at the coffee shop.

Jesse has had his eye on Craig, and when the opportunity presents itself, he leaps at the chance to ‘tutor’ Craig in how to top. Of course all this pretend boyfriend stuff leads to true love - hooray! - but will Craig blow it (and not in the fun way!)?

This is a wonderfully entertaining, fast listen that is narrated beautifully. I liked everything about it and will definitely be looking out for more in the series.

I liked how the author dealt with the awful truth of caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s. Craig is obviously a good guy and Jesse is just what he needs. The HEA is adorable.

Highly recommended.
