About this listen

Eight months ago Jude Lucen fled his partner, his career, and a hospital in Boston after a suicide attempt. Now back in Philadelphia, he feels like a complete failure. Piano has always been his passion and his only escape. Without it, he has nothing. Well, nothing except a pathetic crush on the most gorgeous man he's ever seen.

Faron Locklear came to Philly looking for a fresh start and has thrown himself into tattooing at Small Change. He's only met Jude a few times, but something about the red-haired man with the haunted eyes calls to him. Faron is blown away by Jude's talent. What he isn't expecting is the electricity he feels the first time they kiss - and the way Jude's needs in bed speak directly to his own deepest desires.

Jude and Faron fall fast and hard, but Jude has spent a lifetime learning that he can't be what the people he loves need. So when the opportunity arises to renew his career in Boston, he thinks he has to choose: music, or Faron? Only by taking a huge risk - and finally believing he's worthy of love just as he is - can he have the chance for both.

Contains mature themes.

Jude has my heart. His story was beautiful. A story of acceptance & understanding of yourself & from ones who love you. Was so happy hear the latest news about Daniel & Rex. I love when the characters from other novels are woven through. Riven! ❤️ Roan Parrish’s novels are fantastic & the characters find ways to burrow in our hearts. ❤️

well written, well portrayed. a bit more depressing than I was hoping for. the depictions of depression are well done and kind if impacted me. the characters feel well developed. the braiding/hair playing is a bit on-the-nose.

I loved this one so much! Jude's struggles with depression very much hit home; I could have been listening to my own struggles with his thoughts because I had so been there with the same in the past. The steamier scenes were hot but also beautifully worded in a way that certainly did the artistically-minded characters justice. And as always, Greg Boudreaux was a delight to listen to.

Lovely and sometimes heart-rending
