About this listen

Most people called it a cult. But for 20 years, Josh and Caleb called it home. In Paradise, there is no television. No fast food. Just long hours of farmwork and prayer on a dusty Wyoming ranch and nights in a crowded bunkhouse. The boys of the Compound are kept far from the sinners' world. But Joshua doesn't need temptation to sin. His whole life he's wanted his best friend, Caleb. By day they work side by side. Only when Josh closes his eyes at night can they be together the way he craves. It can never be. And his survival depends on keeping his terrible desires secret.

Caleb has always protected Josh against the worst of the bullying at the Compound. But he has secrets of his own and a plan to get away - until it all backfires. Josh finds himself homeless in a world that doesn't want him. Can Caleb find him in time? And will they find a place of safety, where he can admit to Josh how he really feels?

Warning: Contains a hot male/male romance, copious instances of taking the Lord's name in vain, and love against the kitchen counter. This book was previously released under the title In Front of God and Everyone.

This book melted my heart, broke me then mended the damage with the most beautiful HEA ever.

Such beautiful souls of those helping people escape a wretched exploitative upbringing among religious madness, they deserve the world. If I lived in a 3rd world country (cause thats what America must be when it allows cults like this to exist) I’d help save people too.

I could not turn off this book, listened in just 2 sessions and loved every second. The spice was so hot. Interesting and great story made me sob and howl with ugly crying. Superb narration was total perfection.

Superb

Josh and Caleb run away together from a religious cult. As they learn to live in the normal world they discover that they're in love with each other. A lot of issues occur. I adore the narrators and how they portray the love Josh and Caleb have for each other.

This is the story of Joshua and Caleb, two young men (20 years old) who grow up in a misogynistic religious cult and have to hide their sexuality. Events happen which result in the two of them running away and starting a new life with Maggie, a former runaway from the same cult. The story is very touchingly told as these two young men, particularly Joshua, navigate their way in the outside world and explore their sexuality, learning to overcome the conditioning of their strict upbringing.

I really enjoyed this story, especially listening to the superb narration on audio. It was heartfelt, romantic, spicy... everything one would wish for in a romance. I was so gripped that I stayed up half the night to finish it. Well recommended.

Touching and sexy young adult gay romance
