The Geography of Happiness - Audiobook

Oh my, this was gorgeous. Jay Hogan rarely lets me down and I'm pleased to say the relationship with Gary Furlong as narrator of her Mackenzie Country stories is still a winning partnership.
This is Spencer's story. Bisexual, commitment phone, country vet falls for bi-curious visiting single Dad, Terry. Their relationship develops over the space of four days, a ridiculously short time, but the connection between them, as Hogan writes it, is perfection. I believed in them as a couple and shed occasional tears as Terry made the hard decisions and Spencer pushed for more.
Hannah, Terry's daughter, has JIA and I can understand how her and her condition are the focus of Terry's world, and just how much he doesn’t allow himself anything that could interfere with that.
And after three books with Spencer popping up we funal find out more about the charismatic vet and why he's determined not to be pined down.
I loved this book and I adore this series. I hope it's not the last time we visit the Mackenzie.

Love Jay Hogan's world of connected characters. Love these books.

When I pick up a Jay Hogan novel to read or listen to, I always know I'm going to enjoy it. With two lovely MCs, Spencer and Terry, along with Terry's daughter, Hannah, who played a big part in this story, it was easy to hope that they would find their HEA.

The cast of side characters was also a great addition, and many come from previous books in this and other series.

Hannah has a little-known illness which goes with a lifelong disability that Terry has been dealing with as a single parent. Terry's inability to 'let go' of his teenage daughter and let her follow her dream of going to a school of arts is a big part of the storyline and affects the potential relationship between him and Spencer.

Spencer has always been a bit of a player, never wanting more than a one-night stand, until he meets Terry. Terry has never felt much sexual attraction until Spencer, which has him evaluating his thoughts on his sexuality. I enjoyed the connection between these two and liked how they opened up to each other, admitting things they'd never admitted to anyone else, getting to know each other, on a very fast timeline.

I wasn't sure how they were going to make a relationship work past the week they spent together, but where there's a will, there's a way, as they say, and they get their HEA in the end.

Gary Furlong once again does a great job narrating the story and bringing the characters to life.

Been dying for this audiobook, and it didn't disappoint. Gary Furlong is outstanding as ever in bringing us back to Miller Station! and I've been wanting to meet the man who would finally turn the head of Playboy Vet Spencer. Turns out it was Hot!Dad Terry, the whole time. True to Jay's style, there's a ton of self-discovery, wonderful Bisexual representation, loads of family and medical drama and angst over how to choose one's path and build one's future. Home is never a place, but a person. These two men learn that in spades. (and if you're wondering if all the boys from books 1-3 make cameos, heck ya they do... and Jay gives them tons of room to breathe, with a little extra at the end!) it's a can't miss entry!

Audio book update I just love this series. I thinks it's OK to say can be read out of order because I have and enjoyed just fine. Each book is a different couple, some different stations but many couples do appear in each book so the more you've read the more you know who's who.
I love the setting. It's set in New Zealand and instead if cowboys we have sheep farms mostly. This book is a large animal vet and Terry a single dad to a teen that has debilitating arthritis.
They go to Miller ranch so Zach can work with her service dog. That's where Terry meets Spencer and finds he has feelings he doesn't want to deal with.
The story is very interesting and there is lots of feels. If you like lovely scenery, charming characters, cute kids, adorable dogs, a bit of humor and sweet heat this is for you.

Now I have to say the audiobook was amazing. The narration nailed each character he adds in sighs, means even sobs holy cow it is like being there so if at all possible I recommend the audio if you can get it!
