Summary

Generation versus generation, traditional versus contemporary, these men are about to learn a lesson in architecture and love. Can they prove that the old and new can be the perfect design?

A successful New York architect, Thomas Elkin almost has it all. Coming out as gay and ending his marriage before his 40th birthday, he needed to start living his life. Now, four years later, with his relationship with his son back on track, and after a few short-lived romances, this esteemed traditional draftsman thinks he knows everything about architecture, about life.

Cooper Jones, 22 years old, is about to take the architect world by storm. Talented, professional, driven and completely infuriating, Cooper is the definition of Generation Y.

Starting an internship working with Thomas, Cooper is about to knock Tom's world off its axis. Tom can teach Cooper about the architecture industry, but Cooper is about to teach Tom what it means to live.

Short but very complete and enjoyable story

With this being a novella at only 3 and a bit hours long I was expecting either a cliffhanger, or a story that wasn’t filled out enough. I was delighted to be proved wrong. I’m now astonished at how short it was. It left me feeling happy and satisfied, and eager for the other books in the series following these characters to come out to find out what they do next. N.R. Walker really is a very talented writer and I’ve loved loads of their books. They always have believable characters and I get absorbed in the stories.

Well worth the wait for this Cooper Jones thing 😁

Woohoo!! Tom and Coop are FINALLY on audio. Thank goodness Nic decided to give this particular series to Nick J. Russo...he brilliantly captures Tom and Cooper, just as I'd imagined them to be. Puddle of goo big-time, and I have two more audios to look forward to. TOTALLY worth it...I feel like I've been waiting forever for this series.

***Book review dated September 2013***

This book was my read of choice on a recent trip from London to Lisbon, and well worth the wait. As is usual for me with Nic's books, it's a total keeper. 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Shortie review. Thomas Elkin, a 40's something architect meets up with his son who has brought a friend with him to dinner. The 'friend' Cooper turns out to be one of the interns that Tom is interviewing the following day....and Cooper won't let anything stand in his way...of his job or a relationship with his friend's father!! Wonderful.

Architects do it on the level

Delightful, funny, cleverly written and well crafted tale of surprize autumn/spring romance between Tom a senior partner and Cooper the intern. Such a nice surprize after many book fails lately. Excellent narration.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Well done Audible, another gem.
