Summary
He was the best thing that ever happened to him...in the worst way.
West Balkany lived his life by one rule: make your own luck. And that means fighting his slum lord when his building starts falling apart, forcing himself to finish school no matter how much he wants to quit, and most importantly, never do something as stupid as falling in love.
Unfortunately, that last part isn’t so easy when his gorgeous one-night-stand who dragged him into a bar supply closet and made him see god, keeps turning up everywhere he goes.
But he doesn’t have time for Jake- no matter how much he wants to. His father’s health is failing, his deli is barely getting by, and now he’s facing a massive legal suit against Larsen Property Management for trying to kick everyone out into the streets. He also knows that Jake is hiding something, and he’s pretty sure whatever it is, it’s enough to turn his life upside down.
But Jake also makes him want to try, and that’s what scares him the most.
Jakob Larsen spent his life running from the man his father always wanted him to be, but that all comes to a stop when the man announced he was leaving LPM. He finally has a chance to prove to both his brother and to St. James that he can turn Larsen Property Management around and do something good for the people his father has been tormenting all these years.
The problem is, he’s just not quite sure how, when no one trusts him to do the right thing.
And it doesn’t help that Jakob has found himself distracted, falling for a gorgeous, stoic deli owner who has no idea who he really is. All Jakob has ever wanted was to be truly loved, but now that he’s found the one person he could see himself growing old with, he has to face the truth: everything they have is based on a lie.
Will he ever be a man worthy of forgiveness, or will he have to face the fact that everything he touches turns to dust?

In The Closet Again.
MM, low angst, humorous, steamy romance with a HEA. With great narration from Nick Hudson this story was extremely easy to listen to and with great characters and a fun and steamy plot I thoroughly enjoyed it. The second book in the series, I feel due to the background story continuing on from book 1 that it's best to listen to them in series order. I can't fault anything as I loved it all.

My favorite so far!
5 Stars!
This was such a fantastic addition to the series. It can totally be read/listened as a standalone, but I think you'll enjoy it more if you read the first book in the series first.
I loved West, he was a sweetheart. I loved how devoted he was to his cause and to his family, even when he couldn't be with them. I liked Jake a lot, and even if my suspicions from book 1 were confirmed and he was hiding who he was from West, the conflict wasn't drawn out for too long, even if it only came to play in the last third of the book. In the meantime, we saw Jake become the man he wanted to be and he was very supportive of West. They were super hot together, too, which was definitely a bonus! They had fantastic chemistry and watching their relationship progress was a treat.
I loved catching up with Carter, Henryk, and Rhys. I hate Jordan with the fire of a thousand suns and I was a bit disappointed he didn't get more of a comeuppance. Same with Jake's father, the man deserves a slow, very painful death. LOL
Nick Hudson did a solid job with his narration. He gave each character a distinctive voice and made the experience even better for me with the emotions he managed to convey through his voice.
Overall, a fantastic audiobook! I was totally invested in West and Jake's HEA and loved seeing them both sharing time with their friends and West's family. Well-written, angsty, sweet, engaging, and steamy, you definitely can't go wrong with this one!

Romance and secrets…
West and Jakob time for romance. West is struggling through life, his studies, his deli and specially his apartment. When he meets Jake, the lonely feeling starts to fade but Jakob has got a big secret to tell. Fake it til you make it. They are both good guys, who have issues. I like that West is so independent and Jakob wants to do the right thing. And yet that secret could destroy them. They do get their hea though. Lovely narration.

Amazing story!
West and Jakob were a great couple in that they had so many differences that it just worked so well. West grew up without and inherited his deli, which is barely hanging on. Jakob is the son of the cold, rich, power hungry landowner in town who cares for no one unless they are making him money. By lies of omission, these two end up together, forming a deep connection based on lies.
I really did enjoy this story, but I hadn't read or listened to Book 1, so I felt a little left out. There were definitely references to projects going on, as well as three or more important characters making an impact in this story, so I'd suggest starting with #1 first.

West stole my heart!
Story: Another visit in St. James and another look at interesting characters struggling with their place in the world and mechanisms ruling it. I loved West's character creation a lot! We get an in depth glimpse into personalities and inner turmoils of both MCs, but he definitely stole my heart here.
The whole story is very contemporary and touches on themes that a lot of people struggle with. It's a great emotional read.
Narration: Nick Hudson does a great job at conveying the emotions from the pages! I am a huge fan of his voice and performative skills.

Another fantastic love story
Listening to a new E.M. Lindsey romance is always a treat for me, and West and Jakob's story was no exception. I fell in love with them in the very first chapter, and despite the less-than-ideal circumstances it was a joy to watch them find their way together. Neither man was expecting anything to come out of their hot-as-heck anonymous hookup, and that's why their romance felt so genuine despite their completely different lifestyles. Jakob wasn't looking for someone to shower with money--in fact it often seemed like he was trying to escape his upbringing and find out who we was as a person without his inheritance. The fact that Jakob's company was responsible for the majority of West's living struggles was a horrible kind of irony, and while I didn't agree with Jakob's decision to hide the truth I understand why he did it. His and West's connection had the potential to be something magnificent, but the stigma behind Jakob's last name would have shut down their relationship entirely. I'll admit that I was a little skeptical at how easily West dismissed his initial impressions of Jakob, but I can't complain too much when it led to some heartwarming bonding moments and steamy nights together. I've read other stories where the wealthier half of a couple tried to throw money around to fix all their problems, and I appreciate that Jakob never did that to West. Their relationship always felt like it was on even footing, and I honestly found myself forgetting about their different upbringings in the face of their growing affections. If I ever had any doubts about West and Jakob's feelings, their road trip back to West's childhood home erased them. I knew there was no way West could stay in the dark about Jakob's identity forever, but seeing just how good things were between them made me ache for the inevitable betrayal. Thankfully, West wasn't the type of man to hold a grudge unnecessarily, and Jakob had already proven himself to be nothing like his father. Nothing made me happier than when the two of them agreed to give their romance a second chance, and getting a peek at their quiet, happy life together was the perfect way to close out their journey.

All You Touch
E.M. Lindsey did a fantastic job with this story. They really do a very good of giving us what we need while maintaining realness. So good! Jakob and West both have meaty journeys alone, but they are perfection together! Hudson did a great job of narrating. I do always speed him up, but that's a preference thing.

Loved the book, enjoyed this performance even more
West and Jake have explosive chemistry in their one night stand, but West is fighting for the survival of the family business and to save his and his neighbors' homes from a slumlord. As soon as we know who Jake is, we can see the explosion coming and still it's heartbreaking. It is a rough road to rebuild trust but so worth reading about in this wonderful, heartwarming story. I loved this when I read it,but it is even better to hear the performance by Nick Hudson. Hearing West's pain at what he feels is a betrayal and Jake's desperation to make things right was heartbreaking. I don't think there's an audiobook performer out there who does the HEA joy and wrap-ups better than Nick Hudson.

Enjoyable diverse read
Interesting story and characters. I liked the redemption/finding his own way arc for the wealthy character as well as the family the two leads made for themselves. Always love EM's themes of found family/acceptance and communities that embrace differences in everything from sexuality/gender identityt to religion to varying disabilities. Great read and solid narration.
