About this listen

Imagine what life would be like if panic ruled your world at the mere thought of going to bed at night. For as long as he can remember, Finnley Hollins has been crippled by his extreme phobia of sleep. Every night is a battle, and every morning isn’t without consequences. The root cause is something he’s ashamed to admit to anyone. It’s his war, and he will fight it alone.

When an unexpected turn of events lands the stunningly gorgeous Aven Woods at Finnley’s place of business, his life gets turned upside down.

All it would take is one night together for his secret to be exposed. Finnley wasn’t prepared to fall in love. More so, he wasn’t prepared for his phobia to completely consume his life. Not only is it affecting his job and his relationship, but now it’s affecting his health. What will it take for Finnley to finally admit he needs help?

I loved this story about Fin and Avan and their journey together! Nicky James is so good at keeping the balance between the feeling of the horror anxiety is and what it can do to a person but also the people around that person and the romance with true love and HEA.

Adam Gold bring them to life with his deep, calm voice.

Beautiful story about anxiety

I wish I knew where to start on this other than to say it’s Nicky James, just what I expected. This author is on every list I have. The stories are so above most I have ever read. Every time I read another story from her I have another book to remember. This is one more original. I had not read/listened to it before as I try to catch up on the older stories but it again points out to me the talent of this author. There is so much emotion all throughout this story. Finn is stuck in a life he never really wanted. He has this sleep phobia and has never found anyone who understand how bad it is. This guy suffers every day of his life and has been somewhat lucky worse things have not happened to him because of it.
Aven suffers his own problems. Some of his family does not accept him being gay. When he meets Finn there is an instant attraction. Aven is almost unbelievable. He sticks with Finn when I’m not sure anyone would. My heart went out to both of these guys because it takes so much from both to deal with these issues.
I have to admit there was a few laughs also. I enjoyed Finn’s behavior at Aven’s sister’s wedding.
This is another reason why I watch so closely for this author’s stories. Each is an original idea with very unique characters and their problems.

Unusual phobia

Story: This series is amazing! I did not listen to this story first, but it's definitely a great opener and delivers the same amazing quality as other stories.
Finn and Aven met in very unexpected circumstances, but the instant connection was palpable and the author did a great job showing it. As with all stories in this series, and most in Nicky James' backlist, there is a lot of obstacles ahead of the MCs and the phobia Finn battles is the biggest, but not the only one. The characters are complex and very well created. The descriptions of emotions and mental states are very visceral, but make the reader sink into the story completely. I love that quality about Nicky James' books!
Narration: Great performance by Adam gold! Great voice that was easy to follow and perfectly carried forward all the emotions in the book.

So, so, so amazingly good!

This touching story tells of a guy, Finnley Hollins who has an extreme sleep phobia. With every chapter, I began to realise just how bad things can get both physically and mentally when you are sleep-deprived. The narration is superb, Adam Gold brought Finnley to life in such a way that it was hard to keep the tears from my eyes.

I will never moan that I can't get to sleep again
