Summary
I came to Whispering Key for a job. That was all. To show the world Mason Bloom could be more than a small-town doctor living a medium-sized life.
Private doctor on a swanky island with a posh resort? Check.
But from the moment I set foot on this island, nothing went according to plan.
I didn’t expect to find the resort falling apart. I didn’t expect the people here to be so charming and crazy and welcoming and real. I didn’t expect legends about shipwrecks and buried treasure. And I definitely didn’t expect Fenn Reardon, the island’s incredibly attractive, incredibly infuriating, incredibly male resident tour guide, to become the one person I can’t live without.
Thirty-five’s a bit late for me to realize I'm not straight, though, right? And I have big dreams that won’t fit on Whispering Key, anyway - dreams that do not include tying myself to a tiny island stuck in the past or to a man who refuses to think about the future.
My head’s telling me I have to leave Whispering Key...My heart’s telling me there might be treasure on this island after all.

Engaging start to the series!
4.25 Stars Overall
Off Plan is book 1 in the Whispering Key series, although it ties up with Ms. Archer's Love in O'Leary series, it can be read as a standalone.
Dr. Mason Bloom has landed the job of his dreams or so he thought until he landed in Florida and discovered that the Five Star Resort he had been hired to work at, was really a run-down motel on a dwindling community and that the guy who was sent to pick him up from the airport seems determined on pushing every button Mason has, including some he had no clue of before meeting Fenn.
I loved Mason, he was a sweetheart, good-natured, hardworking and determined to make the best of a not so good situation (or at least not so good at first), and while he'd always thought of himself as straight, I appreciated that he wasn't all that fussy over his attraction to Fenn. He fit in the Whispering Key community perfectly and I adored how everyone accepted him with open arms. Fenn, on the other hand, was frustrating as all hell. Ugh, I got his reasons why he didn't want to get involved with a straight man, but really, he was so difficult at times and I wanted to scream at him when he kept Mason at arm's length. It was especially annoying because Fenn and Mason had an amazing connection and their chemistry was off-the-charts, they just fit so well together despite being so different and I kind of wanted more for Mason, because it took Fenn so long to realize what they had.
I'm already looking forward to seeing all the Whispering Key people again and discovering more about them, especially Fenn's cousins, who I suppose will be next in line to tell their stories.
Michael Dean did a great job with the narration, the book is fun and engaging, with just a little angst thrown in and he brought that out with his voice and made me become invested in the story. Recommendable!

Whispering Key Book One
An amazing new series written by May Archer and narrated by Michael Dean, Off Plan, promises to be a huge success, if any of her previous audiobooks are anything to go by.
A spin off from the Love in O’Leary series, the Whispering Key series starts off with Mason, brother of Micha from O’Leary arrives at Whispering Key to start a new job as the island Doctor and is met by Fenn, grumpy mechanic/tour guide, only to find the job is not all it appeared to be. The story is well written and characters are well developed. It has enemies to lovers, a bi-awakening and a HEA.
I really enjoyed the beginning of this new series, it was funny, and the sex was hot.
Michael Dean’s narration was excellent as always and I hope he continues to narrate the rest of the series.

Wonderful audio book
Once again, Michael Dean does a great job narrating this book. His different voices for the different characters really brings them all to life and made this book even more interesting than it already is.
I loved the enemies to lovers situation, the snark and back and forth between Fenn and Mason.
I loved how it changed, slowly, into friendship and love. The heat was scorching.
And the ending was absolutely great and opened a lot of possibilities for what's next in the series, and I can't wait

Fun and light
It takes a few chapters to get interesting since it starts very descriptive and insanely slow, but around chapter 5± the story turns hilarious, sexy, gripping, crazy hot, and with that charming May Archer writes after a few chapters. The characters are adorable and so cute together!!! 🥰
My only issue is the narrator. I have no idea why they keep getting him if he talks like the robotic voice of Google Translate.
When he talks with a normal pronunciation, it's ok, but when he emphasizes the words... His faaaaaaace wheeent even pinkeeeer. Thiiiiiissss haddddd to beeeee the beeeest time eveeeerrrr....
Omg please stop... please stop... terrible.

Fun
Loved it.
Funny and fluffy. Attraction and antagonistism. The setting of a run down pleasure island was perfect with Mayor Big Rafe lording it over his son's and luring a big city doctor to his '5*resort'. There's a whole host of endearing side characters (I loved Beale). And tales of long lost treasure and ghosts.
And the romance was excellent. Fenn's past and Mason's new sexual awareness provided enough friction that the conflict never felt forced.I

Fenn and Mason
What a beautiful start to a series. A buried treasure, a falling apart town and a new Doctor. Can't wait to continue the series

Perfect beginning to what promises to be an amazin
I absolutely loved this spin-off of the O'Leary series.
Short and sweet with plenty of laughter, great chemistry, some treasure and of course that wonderful small town feeling.
Great narration by Michael Dean of course.

So much fun with a great relationship to listen to
Absolutely loved it! Need more from Whispering Key :-)
For Fenn and Mason it's hate at first sight..... until it's not. They are such a fun couple to read. Their irritation and verbal barbs to each other is much like flirting and friendly banter.
Mason's new life course is so far off course from what he was planning but he is stubborn and determined to do his job, at least until he finds a new one, but in the meantime the town folk and Fenn wind their way into his heart. Fenn struggles a lot with self worth, even with his family, but it definitely comes out stronger and in fighting talk towards the end.
It's a great relationship to read and they have a brilliant ride full of highs, lows and emotion. There is a fantastic community, full of the normal crazies you'd expect on an impoverished island and you can't help but love them all, even the uncle that seems to have no plan at all to save the island.
This was a lot of fun to read. The MC's and their relationship, the situation that they find themselves in right from the start, the family and towns folk sure do make it interesting! Cannot recommend enough and I'm looking forward to what comes next.
Michael Dean really brings out the personality of the community, so many characters with.....quirks :-) Mason and Fenn's relationship has a lot of highs and lows, especially with how things first start out but right from the start, I loved the narration and how their voices come across, portraying all of the emotions that they feel throughout.
