Publisher's Summary

From USA Today best-selling author Marley Valentine comes a brand-new emotional, second chance, gay romance.

Two halves of a whole, Arlo Bishop and I were both unwanted kids brought together by the foster system. Dealing with the aftermath of neglect and abandonment, we grew up side-by-side and found solace in one another. 

We wanted. 

We needed. 

We loved. 

Desperately.

But somewhere along the way, Arlo wanted and needed and loved drugs more. So I did the only thing I could and broke my own heart to save his.

Now, four years later, I’m back in L.A. and face-to-face with my past. Not only does the pain and hurt of our mistakes linger between us, but so do our feelings.

I didn’t plan on a second chance, fear of history repeating itself making it hard to forgive and even harder to forget. But with only one touch, one kiss, I was taken back to where it all started.

Two halves of a whole, Arlo Bishop and I were made for for each other. But we were no longer the unwanted foster kids.

We were grown men.

And I wanted nothing more than him.

Unwanted is book one in a brand-new, emotional LGBTQ+ series that follows a group of foster siblings who are banded together by their pasts. Each book can be listened to as a complete stand-alone.

Fantastic

Such a powerful story. Two very broken men who loved each other once and always, but had not seen each other in years. Until Frankie got a call to return home.

There was so much love and longing and pain. The love they have for one another was as strong as ever, but they have to learn to see each other as the men they are now. They have to choose this life.

It’s a slow burn with so much hurt / comfort that makes you want to wrap them all up in your arms and keep them close.

Marley always knows how to destroy you and put you back together again, and I adore her for that. And with dual narration by Jacob Morgan and Zachary Johnson you will be utterly entranced by this story.

worth it

I love the rough draft of this story. Kids who grew up in the foster system and find family in each other. Beyond that, Arlo and Frankie's love arc through addiction was beautiful to read. My only issue with this story is without the side characters, there isn't enough to keep me entertained. If the accident didn't happen, if we didn't have the matchmaking or relapsing from another member occur, there wouldn't be enough from the main characters to stick with it. Regardless, I did enjoy the book and still think it's worth the listen.

Worth a credit!

I found that the story dragged in some parts but, overall, believable and steamy hot 🔥! Jacob and Zachary, as always, did an amazing job. I only wish there was a book 2. 🤞
