Summary

From USA Today best-selling author Marley Valentine comes a brand new emotional MM romance.

I couldn’t tell you when I fell in love with Gael Herrera, but I wish I knew how to make it stop.

Falling in love with a straight man is a rookie mistake. But falling in love with my soon-to-be-married-to-a-woman best friend is nothing but heartache.

Through all the years, and all the men I’ve fooled around with, he’s always been at the back of my mind. An unrequited crush I wish I could shake. A dream that was never going to come true.

When I whisk him off to a surprise bachelor party weekend in Vegas, I surrender to the idea that this is an opportunity for me to finally let go of my feelings for him and say goodbye.

But after a heated exchange and an even hotter kiss, everything I thought I knew about our friendship changed.

Maybe I had it wrong. Maybe, after all this time, we were more than best friends. Maybe, just maybe, he felt it too.

Ache is an MM Romance narrated by Gomez Pugh and Teddy Hamilton with a supporting performance by Emma Wilder. This is not a ménage romance.

5 Stars

I’m such a huge fan of Marley Valentine’s work. This book was devoured all in one sitting, I couldn’t put it down!! This book has all the feels and the hot and sexy moments you would expect from Marley’s work. And it was fun to have characters from a previous book show up as well. Definitely worth the credit!

So beautiful!

This book broke my heart and put it back together in the best possible way!
As the title suggests, I ACHED for Jordan, for Gael, and even for Elena, and for their situation and circumstances which seemed impossible at times. But underneath the ache, the impossibility, the difficulties, underneath it all, is the strength of a love impossible to ignore, impossible to break, and great as the whole world!
Beautifully narrated by Gomez Pugh and Teddy Hamilton (I loved them both and so much, they were perfect for Gael and Jordan) and featuring Emma Wilder as Elena, the audio was a real hit!

Worth persisting till the end

At first I didn’t really like this, not sure if it was the characters or the story. But I’m glad I carried on.

The middle was brilliant, great story and perfect performance and full of angst, romance then heart break.

Really DID NOT LIKE the whiny female voice and tbh it really did not need it. It didn’t add anything to the story or the characters development.

The very end ruined it for me. It felt rushed. And a shame given the first 3/4 felt like time was dedicated to really slowly let the characters develop.

I still enjoyed it, but definitely not without its flaws.

Superb

I loved this book. The story did make my heart ache for them all. Great HEA. Great narration. This is my 2nd book by this author and pouting to hear it also has a bonus epilogue that I have to read read when I prefer to listen read.

What a rollercoaster

I love everything about this performance.

The voice actors are perfect for the characters they portray and the emotions had me laughing, crying, cheering them on every step of the way.

Perfectly written and can highly recommend to everyone

Conflicted 3.5-4 stars

I've read the original short story. For the first 50% I kept thinking longer is not necessarily better. At 50% we get new material. I was happier with new stuff but the plot just wasn't speaking to me and places felt awkward. I think I enjoyed the original better and should have left it at that and started a new story.
Oh and don't get me started on just talking to each other and it would have solved the Ache

Triggers- cheating!

I think the narration was what made it better than just reading the story.

Good from start to finish

MM romance. I love the characters in this book. A little bit of cheating but they are in Vegas so does it really count? I really enjoyed this entire story and didn’t want to stop listening. The narration was great, I definitely recommend this book. 🎧Audiobook Obsession
