About this listen
This is the FoxTales edition of the book previously published by Samhain Publishing. Other than the cover art and description, the book is the same.
Thomas Penrose is a village doctor in rural Cornwall. Popular with patients and friends alike, and handsome into the bargain, he lives in a romantic clifftop tower by the sea. It's a wonderful life - if only Dr. Tom could enjoy it. He's a veteran of the conflict in Afghanistan, fighting a lonely battle against alcoholism and PTSD.
Determined not to inflict his troubles on anyone else, Tom keeps himself to himself. But fate has other ideas, and brings a handsome surfer crashing to his feet after a dreadful wipe-out on Porth Beach. Just another crazy surf bunny? Not a bit of it - Flynn Summers is one of Cornwall's heroes, a fearless search-and-rescue helicopter man. Why is he risking his beautiful neck in the stormy off-season waves?
Despite the rocky beginning, Tom and Flynn become friends. Both are concealing sorrows behind a tough façade, and for once in his life Tom thinks he's met someone who can handle him, shadow-side and all. But Flynn isn't a free man. He's unhappily locked into a bond of obligations and bad memories with formidable pilot Rob Tremaine - and Rob has no intention of letting Flynn go.
As Tom and Flynn begin their high-risk, high-reward romance, will the tides of the past sweep in to destroy their new love?

Another amazing romance from Fox.
Love lust m/m romance. Some danger and abuse but ultimately a brilliant story. I was transported to the cliffs of Cornwall and felt I was reliving the experience with the characters.

What a delight!
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this. Set in Cornwall, a place I know, the characters are delightful and beautifully rendered by the narrator. The Irish wolfhound is perfect. The plot is quite dark and twisty but with moments of sheer wonder. The ending is a disaster followed by a perfect HEA.

Spellbinding
I loved this book from the first paragraph. The story is enchanting, the characters three-dimensional and the narration pitch-perfect.

Poetic
Written like a piece of poetry. Descriptive and deep, slow to get going and I didn’t get enough connection at the end but the story was sweet, the spice very low.

Wonderful novels
I have just discovered Harper Fox and are currently devouring all her audiobooks. They have a perfect balance of dark depth, character development and sexiness.

gripping
I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook, in the car, on the bus and just while doing household chores. I felt an immediate connection with the lead characters and would like to know how.life progressed for them a few years down the line...

Beautiful Language & Gorgeously Narrated
Harper Fox has an elegant conversation about emotional abuse, sexual violence and mental health with two complex, engaging, grown-up characters in Tom and Flynn. It was a close thing, their respective mental and emotional trauma stayed this side of needing on-page therapy, but their restoration, healing and then coming together was otherwise eloquently written. Though the romance draws you in, there is lots of action and IMO it presented Tom and Flynn as both equally masculine and balanced – none is stronger or more dominant and though both are in peril (at different times), neither is a damsel. I also loved that the abusive relationship got on-page time and Robert was as carefully drawn. In addition to the damaged protagonists there is also a damaged dog, Belle. She is beautifully written and without overpowering the romance, she signals important shifts! A shout out for the perfect chapter headings.
Chris Clog's narration brought nuanced moments to my attention by his vocal choices. For example, at the 70% mark, the story takes a bonkers turn? Like? Eyeroll and snort your way through it but be attentive for the exquisitely observed moments when Robert’s attachment to Flynn is explored and Mr Clog magnificently performs the hell out of them. Or Flynn's vocals that Clog perfectly imbues with sex appeal, laughter, fear, shame etc as written but listen for when Flynn demands that Robert has got to let him go and then pin drop silence –just spectacular! CC also made considered choices with the characterisations and I appreciated that even the villagers, some only getting a line or two, felt real and vivid. Chris Clog’s lovely accent, controlled pacing and well-modulated tone makes this one of my favourite re-reads.

Almost a Barbara Cartland
This really is a modern day gay romance novel. Even I as a gay man found the sex scenes too long and overblown (forgive the pub) and the endearing sweet nothings a bit fake and tiresome. But he captured Cornwall and the Rescue teams well. This is my second novel by this author and narrator duo. I think it will be my last.

Pretty Good
A thoroughly enjoyable story. I really enjoyed the descriptions of the landscape and the character interaction.
I think, on this novel alone, that I will read further stories by this author
What an excellent narrator - he certainly takes some beating !!
