Publisher's 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.

It hurt my heart but I loved every moment of it

First, I loved this book from start to finish and I think the narrator did an excellent job. Second, I do not recommend listening in public places if you can't handle emotion. I don't normally show emotion, especially while listening to books, but I cried real tears at parts. The anguish was palpable and so well written. 10/10 would recommend but be prepared for the beautiful pain <3

Tragic story but with redemption and healing 💕

I really enjoyed the story! It was heartbreaking and I really was not expecting the storyline or angst and trauma that the MMC goes through ( blurb is very vague) The hurt/comfort trope is well done ( one of my favourites!) and the HEA is so sweet and deserved 💕 The sexy times are 💋

Be prepared for an emotional roller coaster 🎢

This has to be the very best mm solo story I have ever read/ listened to.

I adore A.E. Via's writing and her beautiful stories.

The narration was impeccable, Aiden Snow is stellar and soothing as usual.

I'll wait about 24hrs, then I'll have to read it again ❤

Absolutely amazing

This book shook me so hard. It's really heavy at times but the tough bits make the good bits feel even better. The way the story progresses from such a dark place that gradually fills with light is so well done I couldn't stop until I could finally come up for air.

Beautiful

A very beautiful, touching story! Things are not always as they appear.
Remember to be kind. We never know what may be waiting around the corner.
