About this listen
Are you for real?
From the outside, it looks like model and influencer Mason Nash has it all—beauty, fame, and fortune. With his star rapidly rising, and a big contract up for grabs, Mason’s on the verge of hitting the big time.
When an opportunity arises to co-host a gardening slot on daytime TV with his ex’s brother, Owen Hunter, Mason is definitely on-board. And he intends to use every trick in the book to make the show a hit—including agreeing to his ruthless producer’s demand to fake a ‘will-they/won’t-they’ romance with his co-host…
Owen Hunter is a gardener with a huge heart and both feet planted firmly on the well-tilled ground. He’s proud of the life he’s built and has absolutely no desire to be on TV—yet somehow he finds himself agreeing to do the show.
It’s definitely not because he’s interested in Mason Nash. The guy might be beautiful—and yeah, his spoiled brat routine presses all Owen’s buttons in the bedroom—but Owen has no interest in a short-term fling with a fame-hungry model.
As the two men get closer, though, Owen starts to believe there’s more to Mason than his beautiful appearance and carefully-curated online persona—that beneath the glitz and glamour is a sweet, sensitive man longing to be loved.
A man Owen might be falling for. A man who might even feel the same.
But in a world of media spin and half-truths, Owen is dangerously out of his depth. And when a ridiculous scandal explodes online, with Owen at its heart, it starts to look as though everything he thought was real is built on lies—including his budding romance with Mason…

Lovely and complex story, perfect characterization
What seemingly is an opposites-attract romance with hunky landscaper/gardener Owen and pouty model/influencer Mason develops into a beautiful story about two men who actually share more than they first thought. Their mutual attraction is clear from the beginning, but their relationship develops while working together on a gardening segment on lifestyle TV show where the producer wants them to flirt onscreen and push the possibility of a relationship on social media to hook viewers into shipping the two. The intrusiveness of social media and how it can affect people’s lives is a thought-provoking theme in this story and adds complexity to how the MCs think about each other and their relationship.
Simon Goldhill is pitch perfect as a narrator, providing both comedy and gravitas as needed. In particular, his voicing of Owen is both so comforting and sexy, you just want to wrap yourself in the warm hug of his voice.
