After an eventful and
sometimes uncomfortably public courtship, Simon Murray and Declan Tyler
settled into a comfortable life together. Now retired from the AFL,
Declan works as a football commentator; Simon develops programs with
queer content for a community television station.
Despite their public professional lives, Simon and Declan manage to keep their private life out of the spotlight. Their major concerns revolve around supporting their friends through infertility and relationship problems—until Greg Heyward, Declan’s ex-partner, outs himself in a transparent bid for attention.
Though Simon and Declan are furious with Greg and his media antics, they can’t agree on what to do about it. Declan insists they should maintain a dignified silence, but both he and Simon keep getting drawn into Heyward’s games. Simon and Declan will once again have to ride out the media storm before they can return their attention to what really matters: each other.

This is the sequel to Tigers and Devils, and although I read
(not listened too) that one first, you don’t necessary have too, but it would
be a good idea. All the same charterers are in both books and all play an
equally important role.
This one starts off with Simon and Declan in a loving
committed relationship several years past where we left them last time. Declan has retired and Simon is now working
for a television station. Over the last
several years they have managed to keep out of the spotlight until another big
name football player has decided to retire and come out. This announcement has
sent Simon and Declan world into a tail spin.
On top of that Abe and Lisa are on the outs and Fran and Roger are
having a crisis of their own. Can they
get this all sorted out before Simon hits someone again?
I just love this series, I little long winded in parts but
over all very good. The chemistry not just between Simon and Declan but all six
of them is brilliant. You really feel that you are a part of this friendship,
going through all these issues with them. We did leave it open ended so maybe
another one is in the works? I haven’t checked.
Narration – I just love the voice of Dave Gillies. I’ve
heard him once or twice before and never disappoints.
