Playing by Ear by Avery Cockburn


Why start at the beginning of a series when you can start at the end....

From the blurb:

“Did you think I wouldn’t love you if I knew what you held inside?”
Peregrine Hull is losing his sight. But he’s adapting, even thriving in his work as a journalist…and a cam model. When he meets a gifted Glasgow street musician who not only accepts but embraces his secret sexy side gig, Perry’s life seems to be falling into place.

Jamie Guthrie is losing his mask. A decade ago, he fled his family of rich, ruthless gangsters to survive on his own. Content to (barely) make ends meet as a busker, he avoids any spotlight that could expose his identity. No one has ever known the real him—or wanted to—until Perry.

When Jamie’s family reaches out in their hour of need, will he risk everything to look after his dangerous, dying father? How long before Perry’s inquiring mind discovers the truth?

To find the happiness they deserve, Perry and Jamie must learn to see each other—and love each other—for who they are.

Fall in love one last time with the Glasgow Lads series, following the LGBTQ football/soccer teammates as they find their happily-ever-afters!

Note: Playing by Ear, like all the Glasgow Lads novels, can be read as a stand-alone, as it features a new couple, a happy ending, and no cliffhangers.


Heather's Review:

Despite being the 5th book in the series, this was my first introduction to The Glasgow Boys series and what struck me was how intense and deep this story was.  The characters have so many layers and secrets, things they hide and things they struggle with, but that makes the story richer and thought provoking and the HEA that much sweeter.  I love how understanding both men are with each other and how much they click!

I will have to go back and read books 1-4, but this book really does stand on it's own and makes me want to add everything else to my TBR.
