Great story

I love Felice's writing and this was another great story. I have read the book and it was a joy to listen to as well. Chess and Andre are viewed as the perfect relationshp but no relationship is perfect. They have been together for 9 years and love each other fiercely but both keep secrets from the past. When they get engaged they secrets come out after Andre's ex lover is determined to ruin their relationship. I loved how strong their love was. It was quite emotional but I enjoyed listening to it. I thought the narrator did a great job too.

Great narration and entertaining story

After reading the blurb of "Footsteps of the Past", I was very curious about the audio book. In addition, I was curious about Denis Lambert, because I did not know this narrator yet.
To say it right away: The audio book has captivated me from the beginning. On the one hand, this was due to the wonderful and fluid writing style of the author and the entertaining story. On the other hand, it was due to the narrator, who really had it in him to inspire the listener with his voice and his performance.

Andre and Chess have been together for 9 years and seem like an absolute dream couple to the outside world. But all that glitters is not gold and both carry secrets from the past. What happens when these come to light?
I took Chess into my heart right from the start. He is an incredibly strong and very likable character, yet so full of self-doubt about his past. I could well understand why he had reservations about putting his cards on the table for Andre.
I had my difficulties with Andre in the beginning. He seems to genuinely love Chess, but I had doubts about how seriously he really takes his relationship with Chess. After all, he was too quick to dismiss the photo of him kissing another man, in my opinion. Yes, he wasn't in bed with the other man, but still he should have been in control. He also didn't have enough assertiveness with his mother for my taste, especially when it came to the situation with Kyle. But of course, that's what made the story interesting and I slowly started to understand and like Andre.

The story captivated me and was suspenseful and I listened to the audiobook in just two days. It was very emotional, heartwarming, exciting and entertaining and besides the authentically portrayed main characters, there were interesting side characters. In particular, Chess's friend Wolf intrigued me and I'm really looking forward to listening to his and Spencer's story in "Beautiful Mistakes."

The audiobook was incredibly well narrated by Denis Lambert. It absolutely blew me away and I will be on the lookout for more audiobooks that he reads. Denis gave the characters different voices and you could hear the emotions of the protagonists very well. He has a very pleasant, almost velvety voice that is very easy to listen to over a long period of time. And again, his voice for Wolf somehow fascinated me. I already can't wait to hear Wolf's story.

Highly recommended!
