The Virgin Manny by Amy Lane
4.0

This one is all tropes, all the time, but that doesn't make it a bad thing. Heck, that's what the Dreamspun Desires imprint is all about. It is saved by Amy Lane's fantastic and lighthearted writing which frequently had me laughing. Tino and Channing are adorable together, and make a fantastic couple. The secondary characters are a delight, especially Tino's sisters and Jacob.

I'd give this one 4.25 out of 5, if only because the will-he-or-won't-he was dragged out a bit too long and I would have liked to have known more about Channing's background. Mind you, he's still hotter than heck so it's not a total loss.

I listened to the audio version of this and John Solo's performance was excellent. The voices of the characters were easy to distinguish, and the emotional delivery was spot-on. Also, the purr that he put in Channing's voice...oh my goodness!

I recommend this one highly for an enjoyable, uncomplicated, and not overly-angsty read/listen.
