About this listen

Jasper Warren is a happy-go-lucky young man in spite of the tragedy that’s marred his life. He’s on a road to nowhere with his roommate, Lacy, whom he adores, and a dead-end retail job in Chicago.

And then everything changes in a single night. Though Jasper doesn’t know it, his road is going somewhere after all. This time when tragedy strikes, it brings with it Lacy’s older, wealthy, sexy uncle Rob. Despite the heart-wrenching circumstances, an immediate connection forms between the two men.

But the secrets between them test their attraction. Will their revelations destroy the bloom of new love…or encourage it to grow?

I have listened to several audio books that David Allen Vargo has performed for Rick R. Reed and have enjoyed all of them. The Secrets We Keep is an emotional and compelling story. I knew from the blurb that there would be a sad event but it brought the two MCs together in an unusual way and I loved it.

Rick R. Reed’s writing never fails to make me feel a lot of emotions and they are almost always thought-provoking; The Secrets We Keep was no exception.

This is no insta-love story and I enjoyed the emotional journey that this audiobook took me on. David Allen Vargo’s audio performance contains great sound effects that I think add to the story and I enjoy listening to his voice.

This was a sad, emotion filled story of 2 men brought together by grief with a sweet HEA. It was low heat and a slow burn and a bit angsty as neither man felt really worthy of love. I was sucked into this story from the very start and could not put it down. Both characters were wonderful and I loved them together. There is alot of resistance despite instant chemistry and I liked that it was a realistic slow burn as they developed a strong connection. I absolutely loved this story and would recommend it. This is the 6th story that I hace read by this author after just recently discovering them and I have loved them all. Looking forward to reading more by them.

I am so glad I got to listen to this story. The Narrator was a pleasure to listen to. He expressed all the emotions and brought the story to life. He gave each of the characters their own distinct voice that suited each of them perfectly and made the story easy to follow.

Absolutely wonderful

The narration by David Allan Vargo was perfect. Jasper is going through life happy with his pretty unexciting life. He has a roommate Lacy who means the world to him. They are pretty close or so he thought until an event happens that turns Jasper’s life upside down. The girl he lived with and thought he knew is totally different that her true identity.
When Jasper meets Lacy’s uncle, he finds out the girl he has lived with, shared so much with is totally not who he would have ever thought she would be. As Jasper gets to know Rob he also reexamines his life.
Growing up Jasper faced plenty of tragedy. What happened to his family would be enough to scar anyone for life. Jasper’s feelings for his dad change as he sees things from a grownup perspective.
This story has a few unexpected twists that made me and a great ending

This was an incredible listen that was so well written, i loved the characters and the storyline the way they interacted and their story and the struggles that they faced made this so realistic. It wasn’t an easy journey for them and this made listening to their story both rewarding and hard. It is full of emotion and hope and the narration gives it so much more.

incredible

Jasper lives with his friend Lacy, who seems to be in love with him. When tragedy strikes, it brings an older man, a wealthy and famous writer into his life. It’s a tragedy but also brings two souls together. Great narration by David Allen.
