A Lion in Tails

I was really interested in this book because I have read others by the author in the past, but not this one. So when the opportunity to do an audio review for it arose, I quickly jumped on the chance to do so.
I thought the story was a good one, it felt rushed at times, but it was still an enjoyable story for me personally. I would more classify this as a rainy day read; one that you read while under a blanket on a cold rainy day. I think that Mr. Grey did a good job with the story and keeping it interesting without adding a lot of extra details in it. The story did flow easily and was just one that I did like.
While I enjoyed the story itself, I felt as though the narrator wasn’t the right fit for the book. There were several times when I debated just turning off the audio because I just couldn’t seem to get into his reading of the story. I will be giving audio’s another shot in the future, but I don’t feel as though this narrator is one that I will listen to again.
If I was just rating solely on the book, this would be a solid 4 star book for me. However, taking the narrator into consideration, it is a 3 star overall.

Life can definitely hand out some surprises and for Larry that's just what's happened in the past few months. He's a financial advisor and when his sister was killed in a car accident, she left the raising of her son, Angus, to Larry. He is doing the best he can, but basically he feels like he hasn't got a clue most of the time. He doesn't know that most parents feel that way, and Larry just wants the very best for Angus. In preparation for Larry's annual Christmas party he holds at his home for friends and clients, Larry takes Angus to rent a tuxedo for the evening and they meet Joshua.
Angus responds to Joshua more than he has anyone else, except for Larry, since his mom died, so when Angus asks if Joshua can come to the party, of course Larry invites him. The fact that Larry finds Joshua attractive has nothing to do with wanting to see him again. The party is a hit, and the attraction between Larry and Joshua heats up when the guests leave. Can Larry figure out how to have a healthy relationship when he's been used in the past, and still have all the time he needs with Angus? Can Joshua help Larry to see how great they could be together and what a nice family they could all be?
This was a nice story that reminded me that family and love are way more important than gifts. A good one, Andrew!

This story has a sweet build up. A terrible mess up. And hope that you can make things better.

I know I've said this more than once, but it's so true and deserves repeating; I'm always delighted to pick up an Andrew Grey book. He entertains with a realistic approach to genuine life situations and makes sure the characters are thoroughly introduced before he allows any hanky-panky to develop, and then it's usually a matter of love making as opposed to just plain happenstance sex. This realism keeps me turning the pages, causing me to feel like I'm existing alongside the characters as if Mr. Grey had deliberately written me into the story.
So make yourself a coffee, a hot toddy or my personal favorite, a tall glass of OJ straight up; sit back, relax and enjoy this delightful little Christmas tale of tails. Oh, and don't forget the tissues.
