About this listen
Tucker Wright’s Clues for Life:
What’s a four-letter word for an utterly oblivious, totally commitment-phobic, heartbreakingly gorgeous man with a pet pig named Bernadette?
That’d be D-U-N-N, as in Dunn Johnson, my very best pal and fishing buddy since I moved to Licking Thicket.
What’s a six-letter word for a nerdy, crossword-loving town doctor who’s doomed to be hopelessly, thoroughly, irrevocably, in love with that straight best friend for the rest of his born days?
That’s T-U-C-K-E-R, as in me.
But when I agree to let Dunn be my 24/7 dating coach, and he decides to get our whole crazy town in on the act, there’s only one six-letter word to describe the pair of us.
I-D-I-O-T-S.

Conor: It starts with a drunken text pic. The kind I would normally never send. Only, instead of it going to the flirty hotel bartender, it goes to some random stranger who actually responds. Wells: The first thing I notice about Conor Newell when he sits down in my high-rise conference room is how delightfully nervous he is. Then I see his tie. The same geeky tie that’s held hostage on my phone. The one that belongs to my anonymous late-night texter. And it changes everything.

Story
I left my family and tiny Texas hometown 15 years ago to escape small-town gossips and to give my mom and sister the chance at a better life. But when a phone call from an attorney back home informs me that my sister passed away, leaving me custody of her newborn baby, I'm shocked out of the steady life I've built for myself running a tattoo shop in San Francisco. The thing is: I don't do babies. And I don't do small towns. Or commitment. And I especially don't do family.

Story
The job at Sunday Orchard was supposed to be temporary. A chance to gain some work experience, to have some fun. I had not expected to be welcomed into a family of gorgeous and weirdly efficient lumberjack-types, or to find purpose in the tiny Vermont town whose claim to fame seemed to be apple-based products and copious amounts of charm. And I most definitely hadn’t expected to fall for Knox Sunday, my grumpy, burly, fifteen-years-older, reluctant roommate, with his infuriating lectures, his hot-as-fire body, his superior attitude - I’ve never been one to put down roots.

He promised to never leave me. But when I needed him the most, that was exactly what he did. Wilderness guide Xander Reed has spent fifteen years trying to forget the night he turned to his best friend in his darkest hour, only to find the young man who'd sworn to always have his back was turning his on Xander instead. Two thousand miles and fifteen years of building a new life in the quiet backcountry of the Rocky Mountains should have been enough to put the memory of Bennett Crawford out of his mind.

Love this series
Once again May and Lucy have hit it out of the park. Dunn and Tucker are completely adorable. Dunn is a lovable dairy farmer who can’t see what is right in front of him and Tucker is a crossword loving doctor that is hopelessly in love with his straight but not so straight best friend. They are the cutest couple who are so in love with each other right from the beginning and the story of their journey to happily ever after is funny and heartfelt.

Amazing performance saved the day
Wow. I’m a huge Lucy Lennox fan and adore Micheal Dean. But this one really missed the mark story wise. I was truly looking forward to Dunn’s story from reading Liars. He seemed so sweetly ignorant and funny. I couldn’t imagine though, how pervasive his absolute lack of self awareness actually was. Or how freaking ANNOYING it would be after chapter upon chapter. As the clear protagonist in this novel, it was wearing. I couldn’t find very much redeeming in his character even though he was well loved by his community.
Additionally, Tucker was bland. The authors gave him
Strong dialogue but fell short. We’re told time and time again how brilliant he is, to the point smacking us up side of the head! But I couldn’t see it. Why would he put up with the interactions over and over again!
So there you have it. Two superficial characters we should like. But I honestly spent the whole two thirds of the book grinding my teeth.
In a nutshell, here’s the saving graces:
1. Michael Dean’s performances are insanely good. Voices were clear and he gave life to every scene that often curled my toes they’re so good.
2. The surrounding cast of characters are funny and the premise of a community who knows a character is gay (and don’t mind) and in love with his best friend but don’t to tell him, is hilarious if far fetched.
3. Town of Licking thicket and all the other sexually charged and smart, funny entendres.
4. Witty dialogue that made me laugh out loud.
And the path to ruination:
1. Giving the protagonist the name Dunn Johnson and then having every single character refer to him in his full name no less that 118 times in the first two thirds of the book. Michael Dean is a SAINT for not messing that up (I heard Don Johnson in my head every time to the Miami Vice soundtrack) it was so bothersome a repetition, that I actually started counting. If I could hack it, I’d recommend it as a drinking game, although I’m not sure I’d survive it. Perhaps, the authors and the editor didn’t notice given that it’s likely not so noticeable in print, but as an audiobook? It’s pervasive and inhibiting. Kudos again to Mr. Dean!
2. Two unloveable main characters. One, too unself-aware to be likeable, and the second, so bland. I really need to feel something for the main characters in a romance, and I didn’t feel anything but frustration and pity respectively.
