I'm not the obvious choice to run Burlington's coolest wine bar—quiet, brooding, clueless about tannin content, and always one wrong turn away from another downward spiral.



But no one seems to mind that I'm a wreck. Besides me. I just focus on getting through each shift until the night a beautiful stranger appears, looking as lost and damaged as I feel.



When a mutual friend calls in a favor, the sexy newcomer winds up crashing on my couch. I don't know if it's his melodic Cornish accent, or his ocean blue eyes, or the rock-hard body with the mysterious scars, but I get the feeling whatever happened to him runs far deeper than those wounds.



Having Jax in my home makes my chest warm. Makes me shiver. Makes me want more. But I've got a pile of baggage and I don't want to be a burden on anyone let alone a man who seems to have enough demons of his own.



Our chemistry is off the charts. His arms feel like home. The last thing I want is to screw this up. Is it wrong to hope we can heal each other? Or will one of us die trying?

These boys are so sweet, and the journey they go on separately and together is a pleasure to watch. I love the sense of family around them; the side-characters elevate the story to a 'love'.

Sweet story

Enjoyable listen but would have preferred one narrator as neither could do the others accent with the Cornish accent sounding Irish from Michael and the American one not too much better from Dan. Enjoyed all the English references and wording and laughed at the Wagin wheel reference, who knew they were an acquired taste ! ;)

Garrett Leigh gets better and better! Two taciturn guys, with shattering histories behind them, slowly build love and new lives between them. Excellent narrators who managed to really capture their characters. Enjoyed every moment - and bought a print copy as wellll!

Always a pleasure to read a new Garrett Leigh

A subdued yet rich tale of two complicated men discovering in each other the fortitude to acknowledge and confront, both individually and with each other, the scars of their traumas. Garrett Leigh's tackling of issues related to post-traumatic stress, anxiety, abandonment, codependency and self esteem were expertly navigated in Heartscape. All characters felt rich in personality. The chemistry between Jax and Tanner was raw and intuitive. Highly recommend Heartscape, especially for queer audiences dealing with ongoing mental health issues. Our relatable main characters are the driving force of the narrative, the sex scenes were (refreshingly) more infrequent and did not break the flow of the story being told or become repetitive. The intensity and desperation of the sex scenes also felt in-character for our MCs, acting as a vehicle for further communication between Tanner and Jax that complemented their guarded but volatile emotional states. Overall a surprising little gem with narration that I personally really enjoyed. A tactful handling of serious mental health issues and a conclusion that offered hope to our MCs without falling into the tropes of "sex will save us", or that love automatically solves everything.

An unexpected gem

Well read. Great Story. Relatable issues (PTSD). Great chemistry between characters.

More words needed but I'm feeling lazy.

Loved it.
