Publisher's summary

My name is Jason Atkinson, and I married a serial killer.

My world shattered on a cold April morning when they took my husband away in cuffs.

The life I knew, the man I loved, and the world I believed in was nothing but a lie. He stole my trust, my happiness, and my faith in humanity, and I’m not sure how to move on.

With my mental health hanging by a thread and a media circus following me everywhere I go, escape seems like the only answer.

Shedding my old life and starting fresh.

A new city. A new job. A new name.

Maybe everyone will leave me alone and let me wallow in peace.

But Skylar Dawson, a student almost twenty years my junior, has a different plan.

Everything about him is endless - his eyes, his smile, even his babbling mouth.

He shines with a blinding inner light I can’t ignore.

He’s a ray of sunshine in my dark world.

Skylar Dawson will not be ignored.

But will his energy and patience run out when he realizes I’m too tormented and broken to love him back?

This is a hurt/comfort, student/teacher, grumpy/sunshine, age gap (25/43) MM romance novel with a moderate amount of angst.

Great Listen

I listened to this straight through, could not pull the earbuds out of my ears, until about two hours left in the book I only listened with one earbud in (when you finish the book you’ll understand). Definitely makes your heart pound, hope there is a book 2. Definitely worth the credit.

Intense, broody and satisfying.

I've read a couple of Nicky James books before and listened to Nick Russo's narration. He's a magician with his voices and an amazing performer. I'd pretty much listen to anything he narrates. I found this book to be more broody, dark and titillating than I expected. I felt that Jason wallowed excessively in his misery so much that it became a bit too much at times. Some of the storyline was fairly predictable - which I don't mind, because it all makes sense. And there were enough twists and surprises that kept it interesting too. Skyler's character was a lot. He was annoying and adorable all at the same time. Overall I enjoyed the listen. The last few chapters I couldn't put down until I was finished. Kept me on edge. I'd liked to have seen a few more storylines developed and although I left satisfied, there were a couple of closure I'd like to have seen. The m4m sex descriptions were borderline erotica, so if you're sensitive you might find this awkward.

Brilliant Narration

Nick J Russo narration is outstanding. He really is a versatile performer . His many voices were distinctive and fit characters personality and ages.

And even though , I was certain I knew and was correct - who were/was the villain/villains , antagonist character/characters (no spoilers from me ) once they were/was introduced , I still enjoyed listening to this thought provoking , intense and thrilling story.

Fabulous

Great story, great writing. Chef’s kiss to the depth and details of psychoanalysis and emotion.

Really enjoyed the tension between MC. The climax in the end almost turned into some sort of thriller, which I can honestly do without, but great book anyway.

The narrator is AMAZING, so much dynamics and emotion. Definitely one of my favorite! Made the book even more enjoyable.

A chillingly beautiful experience

A truly heart felt story. This forbidden romance between professor and student was beautiful, flirty, funny, at times heartbreaking, suspenseful and a touch traumatic. I enjoyed their relationship. Skylar might be the younger one but he was very mature and exactly what Jason needed to help him through his guilt and depression. I do not believe Jason would have survived if not for Skylar's loving personality, his tenacious habit of never giving up on Jason no matter the obstacles in their way. This was a thoroughly enjoyable listen that has left me with a major book hangover. Nick J Russo's narration was simply brilliant. Each character had their own unique voice and he captured the many different emotions portrayed throughout the book perfectly.

I really enjoyed this story. The storyline became so intense I had to take a break. Wow what a wacko morgan and Reggie were (sorry if I ruined something here. But the story and narration was just great. Really enjoyed worth the credit.

Wow

What a great story that develops at a good pace and I love that it is set in Canada for a change. Nick J Russo gives his best performance to date. Ten out of ten. Highly recommended for anyone who loves a good contemporary romance with a bit of a thriller twist at the end.

Much better than I expected!

I was apprehensive about getting this one. Serial killer love story = oxymoron. Give it a chance, it's a sweet story about overcoming monumental grief and depression with the help of another. All the while falling in love. Surprisingly enough it's funny too!

Absolutely brilliant

Honestly, I was hesitant to listen to this one, but I am so glad I did. It is truly one of the best books I've ever read. Jason and Skylar were flawed but likeable, and their journey together was tragic yet beautiful. The angst was believable and not overly dramatic, while the sexy times were equally wonderful.

I absolutely, 100% rec this book.
