Over and Over Again

Written by Cole McCade

Narrated by Philip Alces

When Luca Ward was five years old, he swore he would love Imre Claybourne forever. Years later, that promise holds true-and when Luca finds himself shipped off to Imre's North Yorkshire goat farm in disgrace, long-buried feelings flare back to life. The lines around Imre's eyes may be deeper, the once-black night of his hair silvered to steel and stone . . . but he's still the same slow-moving mountain of a man whose quiet-spoken warmth, gentle hands, and deep ties to his Roma heritage have always, to Luca, meant home.

The problem?

Imre is more than twice Luca's age.

And Luca's father's best friend.

Yet if Imre is everything Luca remembered, for Imre this hot-eyed, fey young man is nothing of the boy he knew. Gone is the child, replaced by a vivid man whose fettered spirit is spinning, searching for north, his heart a thing of wild sweet pure emotion that draws Imre into the compelling fire of Luca's frustrated passions. That fragile heart means everything to Imre-and he'll do anything to protect it.

But can he resist the allure in cat-green eyes when Luca places his trembling heart in Imre's hands . . . and begs for his love, over and over again?

Contains mature themes.

Reviews for Over and Over Again

[Blair Legarde · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Quite possibly the slowest burn I've read recently, but absolutely worth it in my opinion. The angst, the pining, the growth, the many differences to overcome and the fantasy of it all just swept me away. I'll be daydreaming about my own Imre for months. /sigh

[B Lynn · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

There's no way anything I could say would do this gorgeous book justice. I can't remember a more beautifully written romance. The writing blew me away and the narration by Philip Alces was magical and perfectly captured the beauty in these characters.
Slowest of the slow burns.
Huge Age gap that in no way was pedophilic or even cringy.
Such a magical listen.

[Sylvia Greene · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

The main character is barely tolerable so hard to finish.
