About this listen

The Brothers Grime is Jack Masterson's way of helping people in crisis after disability ends his career as a firefighter. Jack's people get to a scene long after the physical trauma ends. They don't solve crime or rescue the victims. They help people move on. The new job is all Jack wants or needs, until he gets the call about old flame Nick Foasberg's suicide. Ryan Halloran's cousin Nick has been on a downhill slide for a long time. Despite that, Ryan does everything he knows to help. Ryan only understands part of what happened between Nick and Jack in high school, but after Nick's suicide, Ryan agrees both he and Jack need closure. They work together to clean the scene and despite the situation, heat flares between them. Jack is keeping a painful secret and fighting his attraction to Nick's lookalike cousin, Ryan. Ryan calls himself a magnet for lost causes and worries Jack might be the next in a long line of losers. Despite his misgivings, despite the past and the mistakes they've both made, Jack gives Ryan something to look forward to, and Ryan gives Jack a reason to stop looking back, in Grime and Punishment.

Enjoyed the story but narration was bad

I enjoyed the story and the MC 's but really disliked Dave he lived in so much fear he was almost cruel the Jack. He was so OTT with his drama (not coming out) and then was jealous when Jack wanted to move on with a man who really cared about him because Dave was going to loose HIS f#%k buddy and have HIS secret get out. Jack was nothing more than an afterthought for Dave. The HEA was hard won because Jack was so depressed from his chronic pain and had lost so much he felt he didn't deserved happiness so he took the crap and forgave his so called friends much to easily. Jack, hands down, is one my favorite characters and so deserved this Happy Ending!!!

The narration really took me out of the story so many times that it was painful. The voice was ok to listen to but the reading was choppy, Hard to tell who was speaking at times and when characters were just having conversations there were stops in in the middle of sentences. The narrator was was almost shouting when characters were supposed to be talking and when angry or excited it was said in a whisper. The narration just did not flow. A better director for the narration would have made this a 5 star review.
