Publisher's Summary

Cooper has spent the last three years running from a painful past. He's currently moving from town to town, working in restaurant kitchens, and playing his violin for tips. As soon as he starts to feel comfortable anywhere - with anyone - he moves on. He's aware that music may be the only human language he still knows. Ironically, the one man he's wanted to communicate with in all that time is deaf.

Shawn is part of a deaf theater group at the nearby college. Shawn wants Cooper as soon as they meet and he begins a determined flirtation. Cooper is comfortable with down and dirty sex, just not people. As far as Shawn is concerned, dirty sex is win-win, but he wants Cooper to let him into the rest of his life as well. Cooper needs time to heal and put his past away for good. Shawn needs to help Cooper forgive himself and accept that he can be loved. Both men find out that when it comes to the kind of healing love can bring, the sleepy beachside town of Santo Ignacio, "St. Nacho's" as the locals call it, may just be the very best place to start.

Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some listeners may find objectionable: Anal play/intercourse, male/male sexual practices.

Beautifully written and moving redemption romance!

After a terrible accident lands his best friend in jail, a guilty and self-hating Cooper drifts aimlessly for 3 years before washing up in Santo Ignacio, a small Californian beach town, where he gets a job at Nachos, the local gay bar. There he meets Shawn, a beautiful local deaf boy, and Cooper finally stays to heal. But when Jordan gets out of jail and begs for him to return home to Minnesota, Cooper can feel his old life pulling him back down. I absolutely loved this, Cooper’s accounts of working at Nachos were poetic and hypnotic, like a Hemingway memoir. Confronting Jordan and the tragedy in Minnesota was hard but good and I loved to hate Stan, the self-important pastor, who had insinuated his way into Jordan’s life. The chemistry between Cooper and Shawn was scorchingly and tenderly well-written, I love how they used text and signing to overcome the communication barrier. I also really loved Thomas Fawley’s audio narration, he had an age-appropriate voice, he had a mesmerising cadence that totally suited the poetic text, and his flattened affect for Shawn was perfect.
