About this listen

When you’re young, everything seems brighter, more hopeful, and like anything is possible.

Which is great. But it can also lead to so many mistakes.

Mistakes you promise yourself you’ll never make again.

You promise yourself you'll be smarter, guard your heart, and make better decisions. And you won’t ever let anyone crush you again.

But what happens when you’re confronted with the past?

Nash Davis is settled and happy, helping his brother and his wife pursue their dreams. But when his biggest regret comes crashing back into his life, will he have the strength he promised himself he’d have? Can he keep his walls up? Or will Adrian Walker’s presence be too much?

Will it lead toward an inevitable backslide to where they began? Or can there be a future after so much pain?

When Nash and Adrian are thrown together in the Ozarks for months, they’re about to find out.

Backslide by Nicole Dykes is a contemporary gay romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Devon Ryder and Theo Sinclair.

I love Nicole's books. She does an amazing job pulling me into the story and making me feel what the characters are feeling. I loved the relationship that bloomed between Nash and Adrian. It was messy but I couldn't help but root for them. I really enjoyed getting both of their points of view throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

Devon and Theo did a great job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you like MM romances, second chance romances, or contemporary romances.

Backslide is a second chance romance between a man in the closet, but tired of being oppressed by his own family and his obligations, and the guy he left behind.

It's sweet and hit at the same time.
Nash was living a quiet and lonely life with his brother and their family. He was content, but not happy. He was just living.

Adrian was faking in everything. He was dating a girl that he didn't love, working for a father that he didn't respect, or that respected him, and forever in the closet.

Until they meet again, when he was supposed to propose to his girlfriend in the grounds of Nash's family cabins.

It's good to see Adrian finally stood up for himself. It was good to see why he left Nash behind, even if I hated him for it.

As always I was in love with Nash's family and the accept he had from his brother and sister in law.

I'll be definitely be listening to Outcast!

Both narrators did a great job here!

Sweet second chance MM

I don't know why this story caught me unawares..... I liked the cover art and the author, so I went in blind. Such a great ride. the book was a quick listen and packed a lot in in a short amount of time. It did not feel rushed and the narrators did an amazing job. I am looking forward to so mch more.
