About this listen
I sing to survive, and he’s never been with a man. When he looks at me, it’s everything.
Devin
I hadn’t planned on falling for anyone, especially him. After escaping a suffocating Mormon past, I built a new life—working at a queer-owned bakery, singing in a band, embracing skirts and eyeliner like armor. Then Brandon walks into my world with his shy smiles and stammered compliments. I can't look away.
He says he’s never been with a guy. But every time his eyes linger, every time our fingers brush, I wonder…is he just curious, or as lost as I am? I want him. But I’m not sure where to start.
All I know is, my heart races when he’s around.
Brandon
I was just trying to get through college. Keep my head down, finish my degree, and figure out the rest later.
Then Devin appears—in eyeliner and combat boots, belting out lyrics with a voice that cracks something open in me. He takes my breath away. I’ve never let myself act on an attraction to a man.
But Devin? He’s different. He makes me want to push past the doubt and fear. And even though I’m fumbling through every new feeling, I can’t stay away.
I just hope I’m strong enough to be the man he deserves. On a Different Mission is the first book in the Rock U series and a spin-off of the Mesa Boys series. It follows the growing popularity of a college rock band and showcases each band member’s quest to reach their HEA.
This novel features gender and bisexual awakenings, hurt/comfort, and rockers with found family.
Each book features a different couple and can be listened to as a standalone or as part of the series in order. Explore a world of rebel rockers finding love and solidarity today!

New to me, author and narrator, and I'm hooked on both.
There were two great main characters, each with good backstories and well-defined personalities. There were also lots of side characters who made the story even better.
The story revolves around Devin, a young, naive Mormon and Brandon, who are both at college and finding themselves within the gay community. Well written, very traumatic pasts/presents that are handled well.
I recommend this book/audio.
The narration was good. Finnley Cole is new to me, but he was clear and concise, and I enjoyed listening. I did speed up the narration to 1.15 on Audible, but this is normal for me.

On A Different Mission is a wonderful romance between two college guys who have come to learn who they are and what they want. Brandon is now determined that Devin is the guy for him and his shy and hesitant flirting is completely adorable. Neither have been with another man before so it's a whole new experience for them both but they are so suited to each other. Devin explores more of who he is in his identity and Brandon is so supportive of him and clearly shows him how hot he finds everything about him. They have a great group of friends, especially their best friends, Olivia and Layla, who push them both to be themselves and happy. Nate and Dana, Devin's bosses, are fun and have a go at playing matchmaker. Devin also takes up singing in a band and they turn out to be a fun group of guys that I can't wait to get to know better as we go through the series.
The drama comes in the form of Devin's family. He was raised in the Mormon community which his parents and brother are still a part of. Knowing that's not his path, he now hesitates to tell them, sure that he will be abandoned by them for being true to himself. Brandon is so great here as he offers nothing but support, as do his new band mates and bosses.
I am surprised that this is my first book from this author. I've really enjoyed Devin and Brandon's story, especially the growth of Devin's characters with where he's come from to how comfortable in himself he is by the end. You can tell that a couple of the couples we meet have their own story and I've now found that I definitely need to go back and read the Mesa Boys series.
A recommended college romance with two guys who are exploring and sharing new things together and finding their HEA.
