About this listen

Forensic investigator Dustin Reed stopped believing in fairytale romance in high school. Ever since his best friends scared off his loser ex, he's been a chronically single scrawny geek, afraid of being used. Love blossoms around him, while his family wants him to get hitched to the right class of man. All he can seem to find is hookup app encounters, but Dustin wishes someone would sweep him off his feet for love, too.

After his tour of duty, now-forensic photographer Leo Sanderson is glad to be home. Behind his muscles lies a heart of gold, but school and his new job aren't resonating with him. Nobody has his back anymore, but he's fine on his own. He's never clicked with the women he's dated, but bumping into Dustin in a gay bar is making things fall into place...a little faster than he'd like.

Hooking up while avoiding labels isn't a bad idea: Leo's figuring himself out, Dustin's unwilling to hand over his heart, and they both work together. But Valentine's day is coming and they haven't been seeing anyone else. In fact, neither of them want to. Every fairytale has to start somewhere; why not the bedroom? Can they get past their insecurities and admit to each other and the world what they really want?

Trace is the 4th book in the Significant Brothers series and it's my favorite so far. Trace is a bi-awakening story and I really enjoy those. Leo has recently returned from a tour of duty and he's still figuring himself out. Dustin hasn't had much luck with relationships.

I liked how Leo didn't runaway from Dustin when he starts to realize that he might have feelings for him. He's never wanted a guy before but there's something about Dustin that calls to him. Dustin is leery of getting involved with a straight guy but he can't seem to help himself with Leo.

This really was a sweet story with a few exceptions of some homophobic characters. I thought it was pretty low angst and I loved how easy it was to listen to. Greg Boudreaux always does a wonderful job and his performance of Trace is no exception.

I'm really looking forward to listening to the next book in this series.

A complimentary copy of this audiobook was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author and/or narrator.

My favorite of the series so far.

This series just continues to completely kill it! It’s the perfect amount of fluffy fun with always just a dash of conflict, enough to keep you interested, but not enough to add any unnecessary angst. Dustin and Leo were just so perfect together. They went through so much personal growth and exploration on their journey to love and I just incredibly enjoyed being along for the ride.

Fluffy feel good fun!

I'm really really loving this series!! I love it that in each book we have the great romance and the great friendships. The way those guys care for each other is so heartwarming! Leo's journey in this book touched my heart. I love reading books about people discovering their bisexuality later in life . An he was such a sweetheart, both him and Dustin. I loved it! I can't wait for the next one! And the narrator as always was fantastic!!

wonderful!

I loved Dustin and Leo! such a refreshing story and approach to sexuality, with to practical thinkers. I loved Leo's approach and embracing of his realised sexuality. I could relate to Dustin's family situation and it's angered me that his parents couldn't just be happy for him. as these two were rather practical they "talked to each other" and most if the time quicky came around to saying what they wanted! so refreshing! I look forward to Tyler's story up next 😍

best one yet!

I loved this book by E. Davies because all the characters, but especially the two main, romantic characters behave like adults throughout the story. There is no false drama, no contrived plot devices, only two men who are finding themselves and as part of that, working on establishing a firm, healthy relationship. I loved it that they were connected by their jobs of forensic investigator and forensic photographer. Greg Boudreux's performance perfectly fits the story. He makes both men sound like the adults they are, while still making them and their relationshp hot, hot, hot. Another superb entry by this perfect combo of author and narrator/performer.

Love this series and this book is just as good as the others.
Dustin is fed up being set up by his mother to the right sort of man, he's also been very unlucky in his grinder hook-ups. So meeting a random man in a bar, was he that lucky.

Leo had just finished his tour of duty and is a photographer. He ends up back in his home town, not knowing anyone anymore and went to a bar where he bumped into Dustin. Always interested but never found the right woman, so when Dustin started talking to him, he thought why not and started talking. An HEA.
Greg does an excellent job narrating this book.

This is a lovely book, as is the whole significant brothers series, they are so much fun.

The Significant Brothers series is quickly becoming one of my go-to listens whenever I want something upbeat and low angst. Greg B's narration is always on-point with these books, and now that I'm 4 audios in I barely have to think about which voices belong to which characters. Leo and Dustin's story had the potential to be something grittier, since both men work for the police department, but much to my relief, the majority of this story revolved around their budding relationship and not anything gruesome. I loved how open and communicative Leo and Dustin were as they navigated the early stages of their hookups. I've read so many stories lately where poor communication ends up wrecking things, so it was very refreshing to see these men sharing their feelings with each other from the start. I thought the plot was well paced with the romantic developments in the story, and while no singular moment stood out as shocking or unexpected, I'll admit that I didn't see that twist with Dustin's family coming. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing how yet another Significant Brother got is happily ever after.

**I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this book. This review expresses my honest thoughts and opinions.   

This romance was such a lovely, feel-good story

What a wonderful series! I absolutely love the feel good nature of E. Davies books. I've read enough of their novels now that I can bank on it. Trace is book four in the Significant Brothers series but you can absolutely read them all as standalones.

The series is centered around a group of friends who bonded in high school. Each of the stories is unique, a different trope and very different characters, but the friends play a significant part in each others lives.

With audio performed by the marvelous Greg Boudreaux, what more do you need to end the day with a smile!

Another Great Episode, Boudreaux is Perfect!
