About this listen

Kellan
She’s gone. And I don’t care. At least that’s what I tell myself, but she also left me with a really big mess to clean up. My siblings hate me. As they should. I may be twenty-four, but no part of me feels up to the task of taking care of my four younger siblings. I barely have my life under control, but it doesn’t matter now. I have temporary custody, and I’m going to do everything I can to make sure it’s not only permanent, but also the best thing for these kids.

Phillip
I haven’t been a social worker long, but I already know, without a doubt, this case has the ability to break me. Four minors left with their oldest brother—a brother still fighting with addiction and so much bitterness, it’s stifling. But I won’t give up on them like the rest of society. No matter what, I’m going to find a way to make sure this arrangement isn’t merely temporary—I just need to make sure I don’t lose my head or my heart in the process.

Only Temporary is an extremely emotional MM romance. Kellan has to take on the role of parental figure of his four siblings. He is doing the best he can. Phillip is the social worker that is assigned to their case. I really love how these two men came together.

Colt Carter and Lance Isley did a fantastic job narrating this book together.

Brilliant narration from Colt Carter and Lance Isley


Kellan finds himself taking on a lot, his four siblings and he has no idea how to cope. We hear how he grows in character and confidence. Loving the rule as guardian. Philip is a social work who sees the good and finds his new assignment is a man who is yes looking after his siblings.
I loved how this book has steam, but we have so much more. Addiction, family and growth.

I loved Kellan and Philip so much . Kellan had so much on his hands even before he had to take responsibility of his siblings but he was determined not to let them down and with Philip jt hey managed it. Great narration as usual and it’s the first book narrated by Colt Carter I’ve listened to.

Amazing

This is a great sweet traumatic book. There’s so much baggage to sort through. The characters are well written and realistic. A brilliant performance.
