Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

I absolutely adored The Dating Game. Davies' narration is a joy, his ability to convey emotion through subtle shifts in tone and pace making every scene feel genuine. The story moves at a perfect clip, never lingering too long on misunderstandings or conflicts, instead focusing on the slow burn of Owen and Nathan's relationship. I loved how their friendship was the foundation of their romance, and how Northcote handled their sexual exploration with care and respect. My only critique? I wish it had been a bit longer - I was left wanting more of these wonderful characters. But that's a testament to how engaging this story is. If you're looking for a feel-good, sexy listen that'll leave you with a smile, this is it.
