from 65 reviewsI stumbled on Jay Hogan's Auckland Medicat Series and fell in love with it immediately. I listened to all of them non-stop, they were that captivating. The characters were wonderful, REAL, and the stories were heart-warming.

This was my first time listening to Gary Furlong, and it won't be my last. He's a perfect narrator for Jay Hogan's wonderful, heartfelt story.

As a man of "a certain age", this book has become so precious to me. While I'm in a very strong and loving relationship, it's still wonderful to read/listen to a story of love at an experienced age. This book was wonderful. I've already listened to it many times.

I loved, LOved, LOVED this series. ALL of them. I laughed, I cried, I screamed, but I couldn't stop listening to them, ALL of them. (Yes, I'm an audiobook fanatic) All of the characters, all of the situations, all of the curveballs that life throws at these characters are real, and Jay Hogan makes them ALL real and believable. Expertly written and beautifully narrated, I fell in love with all of these audiobooks. Even though I can get them through Hoopla, I'm going to buy them to add to my always love and keep collection, they're that good. And, as I allude to in my title, I wish there were more of this series.

I lost count of the number of times I laughed out loud listening to this book. Tai and Emmett are so hysterical as they fight the chemistry happening between them. And then, when they connect, a bonfire explodes and the story is beautiful. But, as someone who had to merge a child into a passionate gay relationship, I truly loved Jays way of blending the love of a parent with the love of a lover, as Leo learns of and accepts with open arms the new development in his father's life. Beautifully and amazingly written.

As a homosexual "man of a certain age" I can't communicate how much I loved this story. It is so beautiful and so agist positive. I too was not looking for love anymore, it just wasn't going to happen when, WHAM! there it was, staring me in the face with all the love and positivity and POSSIBILITIES of the future. It was mind-blowing. JUST LIKE THIS BOOK.

I really don’t know how to say this anymore: Jay Hogan never fails to amaze and entrance me! I think all of my reviews of her books are more or less a variation of this core sentence!
Unguarded is a sweet, but emotional romance, with a widower veterinarian who is bi but not out; a super flashy gay man down on his luck and in search of his way in life. A cute 10-year-old boy still reeling from losing his mother and a menagerie of super cute animals make for a funny and entertaining read.
The depth of Emmet and Tai feelings takes them by surprise, as well as the reader. I could not stop rooting for them and hoping they would find their HEA and that nothing bad would happen to them!
This is the only book I have read so far in the series, and it can absolutely be read as a standalone. Of course now I am curious about both the established couples which are mentioned and for some characters who haven’t found their happy ending yet, but they so deserve it!
![Unguarded - Audiobook](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0549/3991/0240/files/unguardedaudiobook_70x70.webp?v=1710657898)
Romance with older men is hard to come by, and I absolutely loved how the author manages to introduce both Jed and Nash who, though still vibrant and full of life, have a few decades under their belts and both their bodies and minds show it! Though Nash has been trying with all his might to retain the body of a much younger man (something which seems to be required in the gay scene especially when hooking up with much younger men, which was the norm for him) he allows himself to mellow and accept his age when he starts to see Jed. Jed on the other hand, does not have any pretence about his physical appearance, he’s been married to a woman for most of his live and just wants to focus on his kids and his granddaughter. He has suppressed his bisexuality when he married his wife, and though he’s been divorced for many years, he doesn’t see the need to explore that part of himself, especially when the last thing he wants is a new relationship.
The book is so full of emotions, fear but also longing, sweet moments and heart-breaking ones; it shows all that is family: the good, the bad, and sometimes, the ugly!
There’s a reason Jay Hogan is one of my favourite authors and that’s her capability of transporting you so deep into a story you feel like you know the characters, you feel their pain and their joy and everything they go through, you live it with them. No wonder I’m left with such a book hangover the day after!

This book gave me so many feelings, it filled my heart with emotions and hope. If I had to sum up the book in one word it would be that: HOPE. In the mist of all the grief, the pain, the fear that both Penn and Kurt are facing, there’s still hope and the sense of wonder at what the two of them can be capable of overcoming and creating together.
Kurt may be only twenty years old, but he has been through so much in his young life, that he had t grow up fast. And if in some aspects he has all the cockiness and recklessness of youth, he also has a strong head over his shoulders and proves to be the rock in Penn’s storm.
Penn is 30, he has made a life for himself in Australia, far from the land he loves and from a father he can’t seem to see eye to eye with; a father who is now on death’s bed and has demanded Penn came back to manage the winery at the southernmost edge of New Zealand, which is as much Penn’s soul as it represents his complicated relationship with his dying father.
I love being transported in the beautiful land that is New Zealand by Jay Hogan’s magical words. Her writing style just resonates with me, so much so that her books have become an auto-buy for me.

This book was amazing!
Granted, that’s what I say after each and every one of Jay Hogan’s books, but… that’s just how things are for me! Her writing style is catching and her characters are complex men with a myriad of facets.
Here we have two grumpy men, who shouldn’t work at all on paper, and who undoubtedly clash when they meet, but the more they get to know each other, the more their walls crumble and they find in the other what they didn’t know what they were looking for.
Adrian has intrigued me from book 1, he has always been this aloof, mysterious side character, always around, but always on the outskirts, and now we really get why: he has his fair share of secrets and burdens.

Stef and Cass couldn't be more different from each other: Stef is city "born and bred", he's a fem out and proud gay man from Auckland who's idea of roughing it is a three stars hotel and cannot fathom a place where there's no brunch. When his best friend's boyfriend gifts him a 2 day riding trek in the locations of LOTR (Stef's secret nerd guilty pleasure) and he meets Cass, the half-closeted, bi trek guide, whose heart and souls are in the Southern Alps. The attraction is immediate but their lives are so different and apart, plus they've both been hurt in the past.
The book is incredibly sweet and despite the heavy flirting from both men, there are just a couple of super hot moments between them. As a matter of fact, it's really a case of love at first sight, given that the main part of the book takes place in just the two days of the riding trek.
Very well written, with great character development and beautiful scenery description. Another 5 stars from me to this incredibly gifted author.
