Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I was instantly drawn into 'Tough Guy' by its unique blend of raw emotion and sports action. Thom's narration is a standout, bringing a depth of feeling to Ryan's anxiety that's both moving and relatable. The pacing is spot-on, allowing the romance to build naturally, with just the right amount of tension and release. I loved the way Reid explores the complexities of mental health, making Ryan's struggles feel authentic and never overshadowing the love story. My only critique is that some secondary characters could have used more development. But overall, this is a fantastic listen that had me cheering for Ryan and Fabian from start to finish.
