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.

Slow burn romance

Great narration as always from Greg. I found the story dragged abit would have liked a bit more angst between the 2 MC not a lot of plot though did find the the novel interesting how it touched on people's mental health how bulling can cause depression and anxiety if that person is already sensetive Didn't hold my attention as much as book 1 Roan Parrish is a great author any books I've read in the past have always been good.

Yes, I get it. Now, move on.

This lacked plot, tension and character development. At least 75% of this novel is Jude telling and thinking he is worthless. I have patience with that and won't call it whining, maybe because the narrator was great. There was no place in his head for thinking how great Feron was or planning to change his ways. And that makes this not a romance.
Another shortcoming were the long monologs. That is not natural speech.
