About this listen

I've been drowning for a long time. I never thought I'd find someone who knows what that's like....

Self-proclaimed playboy, Aiden Vale, has it all - good looks, successful career, plenty of cash in the bank, and an endless supply of men who know the score...that one night is just that. So the last thing he wants, or needs, is to forge a connection that might mean revealing more of himself than he's ready to. But when fate intervenes, putting Aiden in the path of someone who threatens to knock down his carefully constructed walls, he's quick to realize the young man he's become infatuated with is hiding a painful secret.

I finally have a shot at freedom. I'll never let anyone take that from me ever again....

Ash Valentine is just looking for a way out, and the last thing he wants or needs is another man controlling every aspect of his life. Desperate for the cash that will help him flee his abusive boyfriend, Ash accepts what is supposed to be a temporary job at a local coffee shop. But nothing prepares him for the gorgeous and enigmatic Aiden Vale, and the small acts of kindness the charming coffee shop regular bestows on him or the new friends he begins to make along the way.

Terrified of once again becoming too reliant on someone else to take care of him, Ash refuses Aiden's repeated offers of help in any form. But when it becomes clear that there's something more behind Aiden's need to save him, Ash begins to wonder if he's found someone who needs saving just as badly.

I know he wants to save me, but what if he's the one who needs saving....

As their tentative friendship turns into something more, long buried secrets begin to surface. When Aiden's need to protect Ash clashes with the younger man's desire for independence, memories of the one he couldn't save begin to tear at the fragile cords of Aiden's soul, and he's forced to face a truth he's been hiding from for a long time.

Absolutely brilliant series

I loved this book and have reread it many times. It was harder than I thought it would be to listen to what happens to Ash but given that I knew how it would end did make it a little bit easier.

The narrative by Michael was brilliant as always. He brings the characters to life even more if that's at all possible.

Absolutely brilliant 10 ✨ from me.

Excellent

I felt like I walked every step with Ash and Aiden. Looking forward to reading the next collaboration. Well narrated.

Another good one

I really do love listening to Michael Pauley whilst in the car, he makes a great story even better.
Both Sloane and Lucy write excellent books.
Any of them are a must listen.

Love this series

Aiden and Ash's story was not an easy book to read given the subject matter (please heed the domestic abuse trigger warnings!), but it was even more like being attacked with an emotional jackhammer in audio. Michael Dean did an amazing job with this wonderfully angsty yet sweet material.

Caution: tissues and chocolate (or your choice of comfort food) are likely to be necessary. Also, I don't recommend listening to this whilst driving or if you have to multitask! 5*

Terrible narration negatively impacted the story

The reviews for this title, specifically the narration, amaze me. Unfortunately it has to be the worst performance of a book I've heard, so much so that I can't even fairly judge the merits of the story as it was so negatively impacted. The narrator veers between sounding like he's about to burst into tears and robotic, the inflections and pace completely off the mark. I'm afraid I will have to abandon this audiobook and try reading the print version instead. It sounds like this narrator has done other titles but I'm sorry to say I will have to avoid them.

Disappointing

Difficult subject matter occasionally but the MC's were so annoying. Struggled to finish this book.
