About this listen

Standalone M/M romance novel.

I was afraid to fly. He made me soar. After years of climbing the ladder of success in the music industry, I finally had everything I could want. Yet I still found myself wandering through life alone. Captain Evan Roth was the one man I never saw coming. Tall, dark, mysterious...Straight. We were both damaged beyond repair and searching for something so elusive we weren't sure it even existed. But, when two broken souls collide in midair, falling is a given. I just never expected to crave the spiral down.

My first novel/audio by Aly Martinez, I have not read the first in this series,.I have to say I was completely captivated. A steamy, gut churning emotional journey that will grip you right to the end.

I found this novel while searching for M/M romance with Aiden Snow narrating. ( I first encountered his phenomenal voice in A.E. Via's "Nothing Special" audio book series).

The opening few chapters had me hating Henry's character and wanting to slap him while inwardly shouting at Evan to just walk away.... (I almost walked away from listening to the book) but I had to know what was going to happen to Evan. However as the story unfolded I began to feel a degree of sympathy and understanding for Henry, gradually becoming totally wrapped up in all the characters lives. Then the "spiral down" became a plummet that I literally felt in my emotional stomach (again I almost stopped listening).......EVAN!. The climb out of the emotional dive kept me listening to the end..... WOW. You know you have read a good story when you quite literally feel the same highs and lows of emotions expressed via the characters in your own gut.

My favourite line and one that REALLY spoke to me personally:-

"This doesn't make you gay, Evan. It just makes you mine."

The narration was top notch. I am a big fan of Aiden Snow and now I will be checking out Teddy Hamilton and Lucy Rivers too.

I hope Aly writes more M/M stories for audio a.s.a.p

Completely different from what I have expected, but loved it anyway. Especially since I choose it due to having 2 of my favourite narrators rather than an author. But I wasn't disappointed at all.
Loved that book explores bisexual theme, especially since I haven't read many books about it.
Loved that it was still a romance with enough sex in it, that actually felt more real than some other MM books I have read. In a way I feel that I wanted a bit more of sex in there.
One thing I did enjoy a lot: it wasn't wham bam and here goes love in few days time. I enjoyed that story was spread over few month and it made it much more realistic.
And I read and listened to it at the same time. So highly recommend both book version and scorching hot audiobook.

Not what I have expected

I quite enjoyed this. there were a couple of moments of frustration for sure but overall it was a good read

Aiden & Teddy are amazing 🎙

Only happy news is they take each other's hot mess out of the dating pool. This book doesn't know if it wants to be a comedy, a mystery, a searing indictment on the foster care system, the struggles of accepting/finding one's sexual identity or a touching family drama. Ultimately, it hits on too many issues and succeeds at none. As always, both Teddy Hamilton and Aiden Snow are excellent and highly respected performers, but no one can save this from being a muddled and confused story.

Loathsome Characters

The reader does such a good job with such meager material. This is the skill of writing exhibited at its most basic level.

The poor reader!
