Jem and Tean: Guys Gone Wild is a collection of short stories. It includes the following:

  • “First Dates”: A prequel to The Lamb and the Lion books, this short story shows Jem and Tean as they are set up on blind dates—with disastrous results.
  • “Cheap Seats”: Jem and Tean go to the movies. Jem insists it’s an epic bromance date. Tean insists they’re just casual acquaintances. When their movie is sold out, Jem tries to score tickets another way, while Tean insists that he does so without lying or breaking the law.
  • “Supertrope: The Birthday Episode”: In an homage to the television supertrope of a birthday episode, this short story features Tean trying to plan the perfect birthday party for Jem after learning that Jem has never had one.
  • “Jem + Tean: Guys Gone Wild”: A collection of six vignettes from Jem and Tean’s weekend at a cabin in the Wasatch Mountains.

Please note that the first three stories have distributed previously to mailing list subscribers.

“Jem + Tean: Guys Gone Wild” is exclusively available in this collection.

I feel like Greg knows exactly how much pain you can take and fills the gaps with these amazing shorts so that you’ll keep coming back again and again. I love Jem and Tean so very much and getting to see them in their element is always a treat.

Greg always delivers!

Although I enjoyed the ebook, I enjoyed the audiobook more, both for Jeff Harding's narration and because of seeing Jem and Tean not only in their own series but also in the Iron on Iron series.
These short stories give a foundation to Jem's sometimes unsavoury behaviours and Tean's anxieties. As well as, explaining why they work so well together.
This collection made me smile, cringe, and laugh and ultimately left me with a warm feeling.

As is always the case with these collections, most of the stories were available as 'extras' via the author's newsletter, although there's also one completely new one included at the end. I read "First Dates" (a prequel to bk 1, The Same Breath, in which Jem and Tean go on unsuccessful dates, separately), "Cheap Seats" (between The Same Breath and The Same Place, in which the guys go to the movies) and "The Birthday Episode" (between The Same Place and The Same End, in which Tean decides to celebrate Jem's birthday after he learns he's never had a birthday party) when they first appeared (and I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard as when I read "Cheap Seats"!). The fourth - and final - story is new and set post The Same End, so Jem & Tean are in the early days of couple-dom and are as cute as ever).

I always like these little glimpses of "normal" the author gives us in these vignettes, of moments when the guys are having a bit of a break from being beaten up, shot at or put through the wringer, and these short stories manage to be funny and upbeat while staying true to the characters.

Jem & Tean series 2 is coming in Feb, so this release is timely :)

I would happily listen to J.F. Harding read a shopping list, so having him in my ears again, reading words by one of my favourite authors is a treat; his portrayals of Jem and Tean are perfect and he absolutely gets their dynamic.

Charming, funny and expertly narrated

I have always enjoyed Jem and Tean stories from Gregory Ashe’s The Lamb and the Lion series. Straightlaced wildlife vet Tean and grifter Jem – an unlikely pair if ever there’s been one. The snippets included in this relatively short audio were super cute and I liked them.

First up was ‘First Dates’. Uh…oh my God. Turns out both men could be disasters – although I’ll give Jem the win for the most creative way to turn around a sinking ship. Am I mixing metaphors? Truly a cute story.

‘Cheap Seats’ was a bit harder to listen to. Why? Because I could imagine myself as Tean – with an overeager boyfriend who will stop at NOTHING to get the best tickets for the new superhero movie. I felt Tean’s humiliation as Jem sank farther and farther into his ruse. In the end, I suppose things worked out. I still felt uncomfortable. Maybe because I used to be a cinema manager? I suspect most readers will be just fine with this one.

‘Supertrope’ was also super cute. Tean at his most dedicated – trying to give Jem something he’s never had. Many of us can’t relate to Jem – we had caring family and/or friends who gave us birthday parties. When Tean discovers Jem hasn’t had that, he sets out to plan the perfect party. And is Tean’s way, sort of goes overboard. Another cute story.

Finally is Jem + Tean = Guys Gone Wild.

Man, did I ever empathize with Jem. I am NOT a camping person. Not even glamping. Tents? Where’s my orthopedic mattress? Primitive plumbing? Count me out! Jem comes around eventually – because he loves Tean – but I felt his pain.

These stories were narrated by JF Harding who always does an amazing job with these two very different characters. I enjoy everything JF narrates and I think he and Greory make magic each time they embark on a project together. Very enjoyable.

Fun glimpse
