What a roller-coaster!

a heartbreaking and beautiful story.

the little Easter egg of 'don't you dare' was cute!

Broke my damn heart in the best possible way.

Ugh this was SO GOOD. Predictably, the voice actors who did the narration were perfection. Purchased because of them, but seriously impressed with the story as well. Can't say I "enjoyed" every second, because I spent quite a few chapters sobbing like a baby... But it was very, very good. Will absolutely be listening again when I have more tissues. Also, brilliant to see a tear jerker with a solid HEA to heal the wounds. Will be checking out more of this author's work.

Oh my god this book!

I cried for Easton, I cried for Can and I cried for David. Such an emotional book. You can’t put this one down. It is a master piece. Keep you drawing to the book.

Michael and Zachary did a fantastic job. Zachary had that stern Con voice down pack.

Loved it! Highly recommend.

Heartbreakingly Beautiful!

Such a true telling of what relatable heartbreaking grief actually looks like in the real world, how we can get lost in our thoughts and grief and the strength of love that can pull us through. So many raw emotions (that were felt by the great work of the narrator’s); but balanced by the beautiful reluctant stepbrother, enemies to lovers story that’s doesn’t just happen over night as in some books, but rather decades of fighting the attraction pull, battling what’s right, societal norms and more; in this slow burn romance, sexual exploration (for one, the other is out) and mending of bonds, that takes on a wild ride and with a HEA. So well written - became so invested in the characters, was great to see the cracks in the armour and vulnerability underneath, and so much depth in the characters. There were also some fun laugh out loud moments and banter, sexy smirks and steamy spicy sessions of course!
Highly recommend, one of the best MM books I have listened to yet!
(Follow this with CE Ricci’s book - ‘Don’t you Dare’, there is a fun cross-over putting characters from both books in the background of each other, see if you pick it up! It’s also another great MM book by this author!)

Painful and beautiful

I absolutely love CE Ricci’s writing and that’s held true with this book. I had to keep opening the kindle version just to highlight lines. The two voice actors did an absolutely phenomenal job, i don’t think I’ve heard this level of expression before. You could feel the pain and anguish. Just a beautiful story of grief and forbidden love.

Sorry but can someone loan me a heart? Mine is broken!

I read this book back in January and loved it but as I’ve been getting into Audios I thought I’d give this one a go and I’m glad I did the narrators have done an amazing job bringing the characters to life and with such raw emotions. Recommend to everyone! Bring your tissues!!

A binge worthy story.

Ive fallen in love with both Canaan and East. They are so different and yet so drawn to each other. Their story has made me cry laugh, wiggle in my seat and jump for joy. So well written and drawn out. their story spanned their younger and teenage years through to their adulthood, but in such a way that i was completely enraptured by them at every turn. The Narration was wonderful and encapsulated their characters so well. Easts tantrums and exuberance was perfectly shared and as was Canaans naturally protectiveness and complete inability to resist East. So good. Highly recommend.

One of my favourite books

I really enjoyed listening to this book even though I’ve read it a few times before. The only thing I found was that particularly in the last part of the book, the narration was spoken so fast I had great difficulty in understanding what was being said. I found I had to keep replaying sections and still found it hard to decipher the words due to the speed of the narration.
