About this listen

They're not looking for love, but it finds them anyway. Can two very different men find common ground and claim a future...together?

Foster

Things I love: my kid sister, the no-hope dogs I rehabilitate, my job as an EMT, and maybe my new friend Dutch.

But Dutch isn’t gay, and physical attraction isn’t something I feel often. Are these feelings real, or am I just tired of being alone?

Dutch

This is all Hazel’s fault. Hazel the Hazard.

Hazel made me come to first-grade safety day.

Hazel blurted out—loudly—about the beautiful fireman.

Hazel invited the beautiful fireman over for a party.

I swear I’m not gay, but Foster Jennings is the most beautiful man I’ve ever met, outside and in.

Dutch is the single dad of a precocious daughter. He moved to Piedras wanting a better life for Hazel and himself. Things are shaping up: He’s landed a permanent job at Brooch Resort, and Hazel has quit having nightmares that someone is going to steal her away.

Then everything goes sideways; Dutch’s past threatens his future, and he doesn’t know where to turn.

Something is wrong; Dutch is pushing him away and won’t tell Foster why.

When Hazel goes missing, Dutch can’t hide anymore, he needs his... Foster to help him get Hazel back.

Real Hazard is book four in the West Coast Forensics series, is dual POV, and can be listened to as a standal-one but may be more fully enjoyed if you start with Real Trouble.

I love the West Coast Forensics series and was really looking forward to this audiobook. Dutch is a single father who has moved to Piedras Isalnd to put his past behind him. His daughter Hazel, with her sweet and irresistible nature, has arranged for paramedic Foster to be invited to their home. Foster is lonely, but he has been taking loving care of his little sister since the death of his parents in an accident.

I really liked the dynamic of how the initial meeting developed into a friendship and more between Foster, who is demi, and Dutch, who didn't even know he was bisexual. It was wonderfully described and you could feel the sparks between them right away as you listened. Great chemistry and the emotions were great portrayed. The story is really sweet and 9 year old Hazel played a big part in that. You can't help but take her to your heart. She is very smart and clever and is brilliantly voiced by Michael Dean.
In general, he delivered a great performance. He did a fantastic job of protraiting the emotions, giving the characters appropriate voices and his way of narrating Hazel was just sweet. The audiobook was very entertaining, the relationship develops slowly and at the end it gets really exciting. A sweet and heartwarming story

The Story :

Foster is an EMT on the island and meets kitchen manager Dutch, and his daughter Hazel, at a school event. Hazel is an absolute hoot and invites Foster over for a tea party. Slowly but surely Foster and Dutch develop a friendship that they both desperately need.

With Hazel constantly wrangling invitations, these two wonderful characters soon spend every spare moment together. Without any relationship angst or upheaval they soon fall for each other, declarations are made and a beautiful romance begins, with a lovely balance of sweet and heat.

But drama does comes calling for Dutch when people from his past come to threaten the life he has built for himself and Hazel. Once the threat is over Dutch and Foster get to enjoy their lives together and their HEA.

This is an enjoyable and engaging read with a great cast of characters, including those from previous books in the series.

The narration :

Michael Dean gives a flawless performance with each characters tone and cadence maintained throughout the entire performance. Each character was clearly distinguished from the others and his enthusiasm for the story never waned. It was a very enjoyable listening experience.

Beautiful Demi/bi awakening romance

This is one of those books that are a must hear for me. First because is part of one of my favorite series written by Elle Keaton, second because the voice actor is Michael Dean, and I am a huge fan of his narration's style, beautiful voice and acting skills, and third because Dutch and Foster's story is full of amazing characters (I loved Hazel especially) and even if there is a little angsty, the heartwarming and steamy moments and the chemistry between them balanced out any angst I could find. A very enjoyable book! Loved it!

Loved it!

We have it all in this book: two men, one young daughter, an independent disabled sister, opposites attract, slow burn, and all set on the island of Piedras.

Dutch and Forster are two people who shouldn't work, but they have Dutch's daughter Hazel to thank for that.

It's a really good addition to this series. Some of the old characters pop in, but not enough to stop it from being read as a standalone. Would recommend.

The narration was yet again on point, but did we expect anything less from Michael Dean? Always a 100% performance.

Loved this sweet story about sweet good-hearted Foster, and ex-bad-boy, now-loving-single-dad Dutch. The story is quite a slow burn, seeing as Foster is demi and Dutch has never even realized he was bisexual before meeting Foster. Hazel (aka Hazard) is the most cute and sharp 8-years-old there is!
This book is perhaps lower on the mystery and action than the other books in the series and focuses more on the budding friendship and relationship and then on all of them becoming family!

Always a pleasure to be back to Piedras Island!
