About this listen

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.

Heart wrenching

Such a gut wrenching, emotional story. It was heartbreaking and so painful. Llew deversed so much better. The start of this was book was incredibly painful and aiden snow does a phenomenal job of portraying that pain. Absolutely brilliant listen and book

Beautiful

Ohhh! I struggled with the rage at the beginning of the book. I wanted to throttle that little twot-waffle and his family too. But luckily, I was healed by the beautiful souls who are Llewlyn and Shane. Loved the ending with Ace too. Just all the love xxx
Healed a horrible month long slump 😊🥰

Saddest story

Wow, what a rollercoaster. The story is heartbreaking and sad for nearly 15 chapters before MC1 meets his love and saviour, so if that slow build up is not your thing I’d avoid. But if you like an angsty story this is for you. I still feel sad after finishing the book even though they get HEA

Narration

Absolutely stunning, emotional book.
So well written, the characters came to life, I didn't want to say goodbye to any of them... well, perhaps one or two but I don't want to spoil it for others!
Highly recommend!

My demons swim 😭

This was everything!! My heart shredded for Llewellyn, what an absolute angel he was, he took it all and made himself smaller to hide himself from everyone he could. Shane was such a sweetheart, he healed my heart whilst healing Llewellyn.

Aiden Snows voice is soooo 🤤

Emotional Roller-coaster

This is a dramatic story with an arc running the emotional gamut from tender and sweet to terrifying. The reader imbues each individual character with their own recognisable voice and does total justice to the story. Highly recommended.

An emotional rollercoaster

I really enjoyed this book. I got into this authors book through the Nothing Special box set, and although this book had a totally different vibe I still enjoyed it just as much. It was very emotional and cried at several points, my heart completely broke for Llewellyn.
