About this listen

At only 32, Bishop Stockley has lived a hard-knock life. After doing five years in a federal prison, Bishop is back at his dad's trailer and working for his landscaping company, thrust into a legit world where he's no longer the alpha - a world where a criminal record is the least of his disadvantages, because Bishop can't read or write.

Bishop already had the deck stacked against him, but he wasn't afraid of hard work to change his situation, and he did want to change. Especially after he encountered Edison Scala, a kind-spirited office manager who didn't hesitate to come to his defense...a man that saw past Bishop's grass-stained coveralls. A man who wasn't intimidated by his stern features and his silence.

Bishop knew Edison was off-limits. He'd made personal vows to himself when he was released from prison, ones that he never intended to break. But, when Edison asked him about providing landscaping services at his home, there was no way he could refuse. He hadn't expected Edison to feed him, praise him, encourage him, and look at him the way he did - as if Bishop was somebody.

Contains mature themes.

I’m so glad I decided to check out some of the included audio books that came with my Audible subscription. This one was a beauty. It had a great storyline and was very well read. The characters were well developed and interesting. It also contained several interesting arcs. Firstly there was the one about Bishop and Trent being newly released from prison and going straight instead of back to their old gang. That required some adjustments. Then there was the one of could an ex prisoner be worthy of love. The one that held my attention best was that of adult illiteracy and how it affected Bishop and how he perceived himself. I certainly hope this is the start of a series and that there are more stories to be read or listened to. I’d like to know what happened to Trent and also to Bishops father. It was certainly worth listening to. I’m going to look for more by this author.

Great Story

The story is great. The narration was very average and almost had me not completing the book.

liked the story. it was quite sweet. fair bit of Fluff. I would recommend it. I did find the narrator frustrating at first but I realised he spoke very slow. once I sped it up it was fine.

Was Pretty Good

as with the Nothing Special series the characters in this book are deep and multifaceted. Bishop who believes himself stupid but is not and Edison bright as a star. both lonely, in many ways the polar opposite of each other in upbringing, but their connection is true and perhaps their worst enemies are not the ex or colleagues but their own insecurities. loved it can't wait to read the next in the series.

amazing

Really liked the story and made me laugh on many occasions. Skylar was an interesting character and Bishop just made me melt he is such a big teddybear. Narration was really good except sometimes the female voices sounded the drag queens. Whilst the men just sounded hot. Thanks Great read.

Really enjoyable.
