Summary

Mercer
When my high school crush, Gawain, walks into Fifties diner on that February evening, ten years after walking out of my life, I’m stunned. He's still hot, and I still can't resist him. We share a meal that leads to a whole lot more. But when he reveals the truth he hid ten years ago, I have to face the decision of sending him away forever or living with the hurt he’s caused.

Thought You Were the One is a 6k gay romance short story about second chances, high school crushes, and the power of redemption.

This is really more like a prologue.
It is a second chance story. Ten years have passed when Mercer and Gawain come face to face with each other. Neither expect to discover what has happened to the other. I would have liked this better if it were longer but for a short story is is a good quick read.

This is a sweet, but super-short story about a second chance. It’s more like a prologue about a long-time absence, family issues, an unexpected reunion. The ending was surprising and I wish the story had been a bit longer.
I liked Mercer, but I don’t like the dynamic between Mercer and Gawain. This one didn't feel real to me without me being able to put my finger on it.
Michael Dean did a great job as always. He has a pleasant voice and he portrayes the emotions well.

The narration was good.

The questionable consent (overt deception) really missed the mark for me. I didn't feel a desire for it to be longer and I'm not sure if I even got a sense of the authors writing it was a little too quick for me.

This is a super-short, sweet MM second chance romance with past crushes, long-time absence, unexpected reunion, family issues, secrets, confessions, redemption, and a surprise ending. That's a lot to squeeze into 36 minutes, and I do wish this story had been longer. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the sweet connection that Mercer and Gawain shared. They both deserve an HEA.

The narration by Michael Dean was perfect as always, emotional and heart-felt.

I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

So I'm not completely sure how I feel about this one. I'm thinking it's more a 3.5. While I enjoyed the meet cute and knew it was going to move super fast, it's only half an hour so it has to be fast paced, it was the twist that has me not sure how I really feel about this story and then on top of that was the reaction from Mercer. He was too okay with the twist lol or maybe it's just me, I know I wouldn't have been as chill as him. I enjoyed the snippet of them after that night and I really liked both characters, I feel this would be a good story to flesh out more. As he usually does, the narrator did a great job.
