Summary

Life isn't always fair, and that's something that Llewellyn Gardner knows about firsthand. His life was on the fast track until one night of extreme passion changed everything. Now eight years later, he's still living with the aftershocks of that night. Everywhere he turns or runs, there's another reminder. What the hell do you do when you try to drown your demons only to find out they can swim?

Shane Smith, Jr., owner of Smith Construction, could see the emotional turmoil within his new employee - it's why he hired him. There was something about the gorgeous, misunderstood man with the overly expressive eyes that came to their small town with a past no one was willing to overlook. Shane could see the good in Llewellyn, and those eyes of his were a clear window to his soul. Shane wasn't going to let the man live a future of solitude because his past had been plagued with deceit.

Llewellyn wasn't sure what to think about Shane. After years of protecting himself from being tricked twice, he was now faced with worry again. What would happen to him if Shane didn't believe his truth and walked away? Llewellyn wasn't sure he'd be able to survive being left alone. Again.

Contains mature themes.

Narration

Absolutely stunning, emotional book.
So well written, the characters came to life, I didn't want to say goodbye to any of them... well, perhaps one or two but I don't want to spoil it for others!
Highly recommend!

Beautiful

Ohhh! I struggled with the rage at the beginning of the book. I wanted to throttle that little twot-waffle and his family too. But luckily, I was healed by the beautiful souls who are Llewlyn and Shane. Loved the ending with Ace too. Just all the love xxx
Healed a horrible month long slump 😊🥰

A.E Via does it again!

honestly, although the theme of rape freaks me out, I found this story to be fantastic. listening to Aiden Snow narrate is like listening to a full cast narration. he brings EVERY character to life and I love listening to him do this. Via and snow are a perfect combo! xoxo

I couldn’t stop listening

After seeing a poor review I wasn’t sure about this book but I couldn’t put it down!
The MCs are really likeable, the story line is so heartbreaking but gripping. All you want is justice, I found myself frustrated at the mc treatment but this just showed i was so invested in the story.
Excellent narration from Auden Snow as always.
Another superb novel from A E Via… thank you.

An emotional rollercoaster

I really enjoyed this book. I got into this authors book through the Nothing Special box set, and although this book had a totally different vibe I still enjoyed it just as much. It was very emotional and cried at several points, my heart completely broke for Llewellyn.

A Brilliant Book

I've listened to quite a few books by A. E. Via & this is yet another brilliant book. I don't know how she does it but long may it continue.
Also having Aiden Snow to narrate is a master stroke. That man pulls you word into the story & you feel everything the characters are feeling.
I would definitely recommend it.
