Garrett Leigh is a skilled writer of broken men, and Cass and Jake are broken in their own ways. It’s not like any ménage I’ve read so far, but it works for them. Neither Tom’s with Cass, Tom’s with Jake, Jake’s with Cass, nor Tom’s, Jake’s and Cass’ together. On that note, let’s talk about the story itself, because REAL is what this story signifies. It’s a London story with parts elsewhere, but having the accent in your ears makes it all the more real. Because this is SO British, listening to it only helps to put the story in perspective. There’s a bit in Misfits where Tom calls out Jake’s accent and so it’s magnified and it’s awesome! Funny and (I think) spot on. I don’t know my British accents – but I can tell he does – and he differentiates the various regions superbly. There are no technical errors and he even adds in a bit here and there – special effects for phone calls, etcetera. He is so good with emotions, timing, voice modulation and pacing. What a masterpiece! Craig Beck is easily my favorite “British” narrator and ties in the top three of all narrators. The first thing that NEEDS to be said is that this MUST be listened to. Then Jake finds himself the last man standing, guiding square pegs into round holes, and it's time to dig deep and shine a light for the men he's grown to love. Cass risks everything to push Jake and Tom together, but Jake resists, wary, until the darkness of Cass's deprived childhood comes to call. He loves Tom with all he has, but some days it feels like he hasn't much to give. Tom's explanation of his open relationship leaves Jake cold, but Tom is too tempting, and when hard times force Jake to accept Tom's helping hand, he finds himself between two men who've lost their way.Ĭass Pearson is a troubled soul.

Jake Thompson can hardly believe his luck when he wakes up in Tom's bed. When he meets a striking young man named Jake on the vibrant streets of Camden Town, their heady first encounter takes an unexpected turn. Restaurant owner Tom Fearnes has loved his partner Cass for as long as he can remember, but their work often keeps them apart.
