About this listen

Chaz

Rafael is the best friend-with-benefits a guy could ask for, but I had to go and screw it all up by falling in love.

Everyone gets sick of me eventually. My birth parents, the endless conveyor belt of foster homes, even the band that became my family. Why should Raf be any different? When he wants to take our friendship to the next level by welcoming me into his world of collars and pet names that make me feel wanted and cherished, I know it can’t be permanent. No matter what he says, there’s no way someone like him could actually want me forever. But I’m going to enjoy pretending for as long as it lasts.

Rafael

I spent so long pining after my best friend, I didn’t even realize the perfect guy was right under my nose.

Chaz is an adorkable goofball who’s kept a band full of hotheads from melting down on numerous occasions, and he and I are perfectly in sync in and out of the bedroom. Turns out he’s also a natural submissive who just might be the pup I’ve always wanted...if I can convince him this thing between us is meant to last forever, and not just be a one-hit wonder.

Collaring Chaz is a surprisingly sweet M/M rock star romance loaded with angst, band drama, contractual pup play, a cinnamon roll MC struggling with mental health and addiction, and a dominant rock god who saves him.

This book is OK, if you've listened to the first one you'll be fine with this one. the thing which lets it down is the narration by Kaeomakana - his voice is nasal and high pitched, his secondary accents are ridiculous and annoying. Michael Dean is, as always, great and the saving grace which stopped me returning this book.

One brilliant narrator, one really irritating.

I adored book 1 and immediately bought the next 3 books in this series only to be disappointed at having to listen to the nasal whining voice of Chaz’s narrator. I listened to book 2 straight after book 1, close enough to notice some things that didn’t make sense with the timeline and plot. Not a good experience. Michael Dean carried this book because he is a wonderful narrator and he made this story bearable. Listening to Chaz spoiled my enjoyment of this book. The grip on accents was tenuous as one kept being Irish for some odd reason. I’m grateful Chaz’s narrator is not involved in the rest of this series or I’d have returned them. I am looking forward to book 3

Great story spoiled by a whiny narrator

Great story, follows on from Dante and Cash, but covers mental disturbance and consequences with careful descriptions. Vivid picture of touring and stress when a group are famous.

Misunderstanding on and offnstage

The narration of this book is dire! The voices are inconsistent and change accents randomly - one character became Irish at several points in the book

There are also some timeline inconsistencies in the first third of the book which are annoying

The story itself is flimsy but I did make it to the end and will continue to book three. Book one was much better

Dire narration!!

I really appreciated how sensitively mental illness was dealt with in this story, showing the impact but not making it the main plot.

Well done kink as well with some very hot scenes.

Long journey but HEA

This book reads like a badly written gay 50 shades fan fiction. It is not good. The worst thing though is the awful narrators. They have the tone all wrong. They sound stupid trying to fake accents (none of which are consistent), the cadence and inflections are all wrong. I have no idea how someone thought this was a high enough standard to publish. Asking for a refund.

Bad story terrible narration

I started the first book of the series (Taming Dante) and I absolutely loved it, so I came to the second with similar expectations. However, there are a few things that made the experience bad and -most probably- destroyed the book.

The one, major thing was the narrator of Chaz. Out of every single audiobook I've read, his voice is far the most annoying, emotionless, robotical and comical voice I've heard. The side characters that were voiced by Chaz's narrator were similar to listening to a cartoon villain or a parent trying to act out a different character in a children's book. It threw me off and everytime he was on, I wished the chapter would end and Rafael's one would come up.

Other than that, I felt that the story was much more superficial that the first book's, with the BDSM playing a very small and rather irrelevant role in the story. It was not so much connected to either of the main characters' built-up and, honestly, other than adding a kink element in the sex scenes, it served as nothing more than a character quirk.

I did appreciate the subtleness and respect of the mental illness described and, of course, the erotic scenes were pretty well written and acted out.

I honestly believe that I would have liked this book so much more if a different person was casted for the role of Chaz.

Was hoping for more
