About this listen

Leaving his life in New York City behind, 33-year-old Ira Hughes has moved back into his childhood home to help care for his ailing father. His overbearing mother quickly guilts him into looking after her interests in the family curio shop. That means dealing with her business partner, Colton McCabe, the bully who made Ira's teen years a living hell.

Ira is now forced to confront painful memories from his past. As he watches his father fight for his life, and his relationship with his mother becomes even more strained, he begins to find unexpected comfort in his time with Colton. Could it be that Colton is not the high school horror he used to be? Is the bane of his youth now becoming the love of his life?

Romance

This story gives you all the feels. The main characters are better known as frenemies and old wounds come to the surface very quickly. However, time and life experiences have changed them and they reluctantly fall in love. There is a great story that flows alongside the relationship which I really enjoyed. The narrator is really easy to listen to. I would highly recommend if you just want something quick and heart warming to listen to.
