Publisher's Summary

Benny DeMarco is the nicest guy you’ll ever meet. He works hard, takes care of his little sister, and pays the bills. Childhood bullies and an abusive stepfather invade his dreams, and at times he wishes life would grant him a do-over. Would he like a boyfriend? You bet. But Benny knows love isn’t for him. He’s been looked over, looked through, and looked past all his life. Even worse, the one guy he’s been in love with for almost two years is the biggest flirt who will sleep with anyone. Anyone except Benny.

Gino Acosta smiles to keep from crying. Everyone he meets tells him he’s beautiful and sexy, but Gino knows the truth. His outside may be perfect, but inside he feels dirty and unworthy. Bounced around as a child, he yearns for someone to love and a family to call his own. He hops from man to man, desperate to belong, believing the lies he’s told, but all he finds is a body for an hour or two. Things would be so different if only he knew - the man he’s searching for is waiting for him, right under his nose.

Benny starts dating the “perfect guy”,and it’s okay if there’s no spark - that’ll happen eventually. Won’t it? Gino’s fast-paced modeling career has taken off, but once again, he’s trading his body for a dream. When Gino’s world explodes, Benny must fight for what and who he really wants. Gino must learn to trust what people tell him - that he’s got so much more to offer than a pretty face and a moment of pleasure.

If all your life you believe you’re nothing, how do you move past heartbreak and hardship to reach for everything?

Great team of Narrators

4 Blue Roses
4 Blue Flames

Narrator Kale Williams joined Michael Pauley to deliver a refreshing performance. Usually, author Felice Stevens's books are done so expertly by Michael Pauley, but this shake up was a fabulous surprise. A change is as good as a holiday and all that shit....

Kale Williams has a sophisticated smooth sexy voice and in contrast with Michael Pauley's gruff and gritty performance, they work very well together.

They both read at the same pace and there is nothing worse if one narrator sounds like he is falling asleep and the other sounds like a horse race commentator.

The series just got so much interesting with the cross-over of characters from other series. Drew popped up from A Walk Through Fire (Through Hell and Back Book 1). I love it when the authors do that. It is even more special if they start to referrer to other author's characters.

I definitely recommend this audiobook. Did find it emotionally deeper und if you are in the mood for some deep stirring, then this is perfect.

Happy Listening
