Publisher's summary

Rod Nelson is used to being someone's good time, and that's fine with him. Spending his days at his adult toy store, Rods-N-Ends, he never knows who he'll meet. The second Landon Harrison walks in, he has Rod's full attention. It seems as if Landon wants him too, so why won't the man jump in the sack with him already?

Landon never thought he'd return home to the town where memories lurk around every corner. He has to admit, Rod makes the adjustment a lot easier. He keeps Landon laughing. Despite the fierce attraction between them, he's not willing to risk his newfound friendship to get laid.

Neither man wants something serious, but the more they're together, the harder it is to keep their hands to themselves, until eventually they stop trying.

But flings between friends are never simple, and as they attempt to shift gears, diving into their first relationship, they're slammed with setbacks. If they want to truly move forward, before they hit the open road together, they're going to have to let go of a past that could make them crash and burn.

Contains mature themes.

Good story

I enjoyed the story. I've pretty much loved all the Riley Hart books. But I was turned off by the way Sean Crisden chose to give voice to Rod. High pitched, loud and nasally. Nothing sexy about that. But still, the story is a good one and I did listen to the entire thing.

Mature and Sexy

I really loved Rod and Landon’s story. It was sweet, sexy, and a mature story with a little bit of angst to make sure we were fully invested in these two.

These guys are fun and flirty, but I also loved that they talked, and pushed past the surface to build a friendship first. I appreciated that Landon demanded more than just sex from Rod. Though in someone ways they are opposite, they shared a love of spending time together. They also shared the terrible father lottery. It became a centre point of their story as they try and work through the baggage they’d been left with.

As expected from Riley, this is a well-crafted story that kept you engaged the whole way through.

I enjoyed the audiobook, narrated by Sean Crisden. Not my favourite, but still enjoyable.

Worth the listen!! hot hot hot and funny!

You will need to get pass Rod's character's voice. It can be annoying... but when you get used to it, you get it! That's how it's supposed to be. And then, you'll like it better than any other voice. Keep this in mind when you listen to this book. Imagine Rod as a twink with eyeliner. He does have a girly voice. He's not your typical masculine man, like Landon.

The story is quite interesting. A biker with a twink. Odd mix but they work well together. Their interaction is so funny and charming. I really enjoyed their bickering. Landon wants to be friends and Rod just wants to f**k. That's the start of the book. The intimate scenes are hot hot hot! Aren't they always with Riley Hart!

This book is definitely a good listen. I noticed other's comments where they don't like Rod's voice. Get pass this because the book is worth it. Enjoy!

Sweet story

Enjoyed story, however the narration of Rod’ s voice was a little disappointing. The rest of characters were above standard and the story line itself was good.

Good story, awful narration

The narrator voice really killed my interest in this book. I have listened to all the 3 books in this series, and I am very disappointed because of the voice of the characters.

Excellent

Love it, I struggling to put it down, especially like the parts they both realize they need each other to overcome the problems from their past. The narrative was perfect, loved it.

Narration needs help

Ugh narration for this one was hard. I hate when they ruin a good character with a terrible voice choice and that's exactly what Crisden does to Rod. The overall story is great so probably best read on your own.

Understanding Feelings

The story is perfect... two people who were inadvertently searching for the time, place, and person to effectively move their lives forward to a place of love, laughter, and living. Landon and Rod searched each other’s desires, comforted each other’s fears, and in the end held each other in love. The journey was something tender with all the actions of erotic exploration. I very much enjoyed the story.

Rod and Landon will get your engines running!

I loved this book. CROSSROADS (Crossroads #1) was so amazing that I was hesitant to continue with the series, but SHIFTING GEARS is a more-than-worthy follow up, introducing Landon and Rod (who made a cameo appearance in CROSSROADS). Bryce and Nick appear as supporting cast, and the story here does not disappoint at all. When you turn the last page, all you will want to do is rev up and shift into 3rd. Narration by Sean Crisden is off-the-charts amazing! Highly recommended.

Love It!!!!!

love the way one book seamlessly continues and tied I to the other. looking forward to number 3.
