This one was WONDERFUL. I can already tell it'll get a relisten.
Super sweet guys, hot smut (smidge of well-written D/s in there too, which I always appreciate), lovely story with small amounts of angst, just perfect.
Greg obviously not a problem AT ALL to listen to.

There are a few things I always love about this series. It’s always fast pace in the beginning, but slows once they get the initial meeting behind them. The couples are always having fun and make me laugh. The couple always stick together during hard times. Alec and Tyler are no different. This series is such a good read/listen and I find it to be such a great comfort.
Alec and Tyler don’t have it easy but they keep it together. And I think I’ve said this in every E. Davies review on this series, I just love how the couples stick together when facing their problems. Too many books you have the main couples breaking up, but not here and I love it. Worth the read or listen.
If you listen to this series then you will get the pleasure of listening to the great Greg Boudreaux who does such a fantastic job, and I just love him bringing this series to life. I could listen to him all the time!

Continuation of this great story about 6 high school friends all finding their soul mate. This book was about race car driver Tyler, who meets personal trainer Alec after a major smash on the race track. The two work out a way to be together and love each other. Great updates from all the other characters.

okay compared to the last book Trace, this book had parts i loved and parts i got annoyed with.
I expected Alec to hold off the sex with Tyler at least for a lot longer than what happened.
I did enjoy the racing aspect, i think i would have enjoyed more of that instead of it being talked about and only seeing one race... but oh well.
Overall cute low angst story. now on to the last significant brother, Josh, can't wait to see who settles him down.

The Significant Brothers strike gold again. Well, at least E. Davies does when he writes this book. It is always great to follow up with and see all of the brothers again, but even more fulfilling to see another brother get his HEA. You know it's a good series when you can name all of the brothers, their SO, and their occupation...without looking back at other books. That is a challenge for me, I tell you, and I didn't need help. That's how much I apparently love these guys. lol
In Clutch, Tyler finally settles down. He doesn't want to be formally out as a race car driver, even though he has never actually hid in the closet, and he isn't into relationships. After a really bad crash, Tyler needs to see a physical therapist, and Alec is totally dreamy. There is great chemistry between them. Alec is not out at his job and doesn't really want to be. Much like Tyler, he is worried about how his sexuality would affect his career. He also doesn't want to get involved since he is one of Tyler's medical professionals. The guys form a great friendship, but very quickly find the other irresistible. After a while, they decide that happiness is more important than image.
There was pretty much no angst regarding the relationship, and communication was present for the guys. I loved getting to watch them come together and find someone worth being happy for. It was also great to see all of the other guys again. I'm looking forward to Josh's story.
Edited to add:
I did a re-read by listening to the audio book, and I loved it just as much as the first time I read it. Greg Boudreaux does a great job giving life to these characters. With 6 books and 12 characters in a series, I could imagine it would be hard to remember and be consistent with the voices book to book, but Greg does it brilliantly. I loved the audio version.

This book was just what I needed - and what I expected from Ed Davies. It was a sweet read with very little angst, a great romance between two guys who'd never looked, or wanted, something more than a hot one night stand.
Both Tyler and Alec were well drawn characters, each unique personality perfectly complementing the other. This book's also quite amusing at times and is liberally sprinkled with song lyric references which had me chuckling a lot.
Ed is an auto read author for me, I know what I'll get from him but with enough variety that it never feels like I'm reading the same book twice. His Significant Brothers series has been a hit throughout and I've not disliked a featured couple yet.
This pair though I really loved, they were both super sweet and both, while seemingly outwardly very confident, had moments of shyness and doubt and Alec's blushes were delightful!
They're also incredibly sexy together and I think this book has some of Ed's most racy scenes in it including one of my perennial favourites - wall sex!
I loved the support network outside of the Significant Brothers in this one too. Tyler's team at the race track and their WAGs were great and central to the plot, which was also nicely paced and believable.
The epilogue's super sweet too and now I can't wait for Josh's story - which I hope will be Book Six and, sadly, probably the final one in this series of the high school best friends who stuck together once they all realised they were gay or bi.

The fifth book in the Significant Brothers series, Clutch is all about Tyler’s high-paced life as a racecar driver—until a crash sidelines him and sends him right in the arms of Alec, the physical therapist responsible for healing him. The chemistry between Tyler and Alec is instant and intense, and Tyler does not shy away from it. However, becoming a couple with Alec will require Tyler to come out to the public, and Tyler will have to see if the racing world can handle it. Alec has his own doubts. He’s not exactly out either, especially in his professional life. But together, both men will have to decide if love is worth the potential professional costs. Hint: it totally is.
