About this listen

At only 32, Bishop Stockley has lived a hard-knock life. After doing five years in a federal prison, Bishop is back at his dad's trailer and working for his landscaping company, thrust into a legit world where he's no longer the alpha - a world where a criminal record is the least of his disadvantages, because Bishop can't read or write.

Bishop already had the deck stacked against him, but he wasn't afraid of hard work to change his situation, and he did want to change. Especially after he encountered Edison Scala, a kind-spirited office manager who didn't hesitate to come to his defense...a man that saw past Bishop's grass-stained coveralls. A man who wasn't intimidated by his stern features and his silence.

Bishop knew Edison was off-limits. He'd made personal vows to himself when he was released from prison, ones that he never intended to break. But, when Edison asked him about providing landscaping services at his home, there was no way he could refuse. He hadn't expected Edison to feed him, praise him, encourage him, and look at him the way he did - as if Bishop was somebody.

Contains mature themes.

Great story. It takes a while to get going and I just needed a bit more angsty moments but that’s me. The narrator was great and managed good voice changes

Good

I like AE Via’s work for the most part. I enjoyed this book well enough but would have been disappointed to spend my money on it - there are several places where character names are misplaced or confused and it shows very poor editing.

Good enough lacks decent editing

Bishop and Edison are self-aware protagonists in a sweet, slow burn, romantic story!! Bishop has to raise his character game to Edison’s moral compass. Edison has to learn that Bishop accepts his chubby body and naivete. I love that Ms. Via takes her time in building their emotional and physical connection. Though I eye roll the office bully and his cringey shenanigans, I enjoy how his antagonism plays out for our duo. The depiction of illiteracy and an ex-convict’s rehabilitation were plot points that were also interesting to me. This story is not without criticism but it makes me so happy!

🎧 Thor Thom's narration suits this story!! He gave Bishop and his father exactly the same bass, inflections, accents but, demonstrating exceptionally nuanced skill, you hear that Mike has a chestier rumble! The narrator has a distinct audible breath that took some getting used to? Yet, I completely forgot about it during the sensual scenes because TT most assuredly brings the 🔥 HEAT🔥. The narrator has a full-throated bass so colour me surprised at how convincingly he portrays female characters or the softer, genteel, higher pitch vocals for the white-collar characters and then effortlessly moves back and forth with the baritones of the blue-collar cast? A stellar performance!

🤗 Unexpected Surprise!
