About this listen

“One of the most spellbinding, profound, beautifully told romances I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading, this is the kind of story that stays with you, moves you, changes something in you.” (Natasha Is a Book Junkie)

Headstrong Ruben woos, wins, and walks away from the man he crushed on for a year. Big win? Big mistake. And a second chance is going to cost him.

After months of persuasion, Ruben scores a weekend alone with Henry, the first man he’s ever been attracted to. It’s awesome. Too awesome. Cue the dust cloud.

Cautious Henry, Ruben's former high school history teacher, needs a wake-up call and Ruben appears to be his siren, but when he bolts, Henry struggles to find closure. Henry’s solution seduces Ruben from afar, takes Henry out of reach, and alters thousands of lives.

Now all Ruben wants is for history to repeat itself and give him one more moment with Henry. One moment will do. Ruben will make sure of it.

Named a Top Book of the year in the HEA USA Today column Rainbow Trends.

Stand-alone age-gap literary romance novel. HEA.

No matter how I review this, I won’t do the beautifully poetic writing justice. Alice Archer has written an incredibly thoughtful and evocative romance about Henry, a shy history professor, and Ruben, his star-struck student. That probably sounds tawdry, but in this case it’s not, in fact, the two MCs spend lots of the book communicating, analysing, and resisting each other, two planets that cannot escape the pull of each other’s orbits no matter how much they try. In some ways the relationship is not as important as the cathartic and healing personal memories (everyday histories) that Henry and Ruben unlock in each other and the people they meet - just reading and listening to these histories made me feel transformed. Audiobook narrator, Daan Stone, perfectly matched the lyrical mood of the book with such a sensitively nuanced and gentle tone, I never wanted it to end - why haven’t I come across many more works by him?

I felt transformed by this book!

I just loved everything about this book. I was fully invested from start to finish. And the narration was spot on. I strongly recommend this book.

A truly beautiful love story.
