The story and characters were there and you can’t complain on the setting, it made me want to go snorkeling for turtles. Sadly this book wasn’t quite what I was hoping for. I’ve had my eyes on An Unexpected Vintage for a while but it never quite managed to reach the top of my mile long TBR list, but now I figured it was time to get to know these guys. Andrew Grey’s books tend to be hits or misses and I never know beforehand which it’s going to be. Not sure why.Īn Unexpected Vintage takes you on a week-long cruise where we meet Gary Keller and Scott Haworth. The locations in the book are beautiful too. It's got lots of hot male sex in it, which is always a plus. I paid less that it would cost in paperback, so it's one more addition to my M/M library for when I get bored of the other stories. So, they were good characters, but no, I didn't cry. Scott was exactly how I thought he'd be, considering his history. There weren't any really bad breathy sounds, page turns, or anything else, so yeah, good.ĭid you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Barron differentiate between the characters, like Fred Berman (a great narrater) and Holter Graham (my absolute favorite and an excellent narrater) do, but it was good, nonetheless. What aspect of Douglas Barron’s performance would you have changed?Īs a studderer, I typically give narrators a lot of room before I start knocking them, so this one was good. I really liked Gary's complete acceptance of Scott, regardless of what others thought and did. Phillip was quirky and cute, but the others were kind of boring. I didn't read the print version, but the audio was pretty good. Would you consider the audio edition of An Unexpected Vintage to be better than the print version?
