About this listen

After a whirlwind romance, a man with a painful past learns to trust the musician who makes him believe in happy endings.

Matt Argento knows what it feels like to be alone. After a childhood of abandonment, he never imagined someone might love him - much less someone like Rhys Nyland, who has the voice of an angel, the looks of a god, and the worship of his fans.

Matt and Rhys come from different worlds, but when they meet, their chemistry is incendiary. Their romance is unexpected, intense, and forever - at least, that's what their vows promise. Suddenly, Matt finds himself living a life he never thought possible: safe and secure in the arms of a man who feels like home. But when Rhys leaves to go on tour for his new album, Matt finds himself haunted by the ghosts of his past.

When Rhys returns, he finds Matt twisted by doubt. But Rhys loves Matt fiercely, and he'll go to hell and back to triumph over Matt's fears. After secrets are revealed and desires are confessed, Rhys and Matt must learn to trust each other if they're going to make it. That means they have to fall in love all over again - and this time, it really will be forever.

Contains mature themes.

Sometimes you need to be reminded that more than a few their life’s been dreadful, to meet someone who will love and will cherish you that’s perfection.
A sad but beautiful audiobook the ending was perfect.

Matt grew up in foster homes feeling unloved and abandoned. Rhys came from a happy home. Unusually their romance is short on the “falling in love” phase and long on the angst of two people trying to make their relationship work. It was hard work watching Matt continually spin his wheels, never feeling he was good enough, never feeling he deserved to be loved. I didn’t enjoy the angst but I appreciated a more realistic portrayal of someone with low self-esteem self-sabotaging their relationship and struggling to believe they are loveable.

Angsty but realistic!

I enjoyed the first book Riven, although Caleb had some testing moments. However Matt is a complete mess! His self sabotage attitude was unbelievable in most parts. It was also a little difficult to accept that someone as giving, talented, not to mention hot as hell guy like Rhys would put himself through the things Matt did.

The new interesting character introduced in this book was Grin. He sounds like he would be an interesting character to read about. I hope we get to hear about him in the series.

I loved Rhys, I mean he’s the ideal guy but there was something seriously wrong with Matt!

The writing is so good, and the narrator does a near perfect job. High angst, high reward

Heartbreakingly beautiful
