Always hiding his tormented past along with his scarred body, Kaden James finds it difficult to keep a job. Luck finally turns his way when he finds work as a cook on a Montana ranch, where he meets terrifyingly handsome Logan Michaels. Logan is different from any man Kaden’s ever met, and before long, he finds himself falling in love with the big cowboy.

But Kaden’s nightmares won’t let go of him so easily, and he’s not just jumping at shadows. He has nearly a lifetime of abuse, horrifying memories, and pain addiction to overcome. Can Logan's gentle touch help Kaden heal inside?

What made the experience of listening to Touch Me Gently the most enjoyable?

The narrator was very good. From the volume of his voice to the enunciation of the dialog he was wonderful.

What did you like best about this story?

The theme of perseverance was very nice.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The moment the little girl died was heartbreaking.

Easy listen, but very emotional.

Would you listen to Touch Me Gently again? Why?

Yep- it was a good story, with some action, like breaking a horse and defending a lover. It kept my interest for a while. I needed breaks from it every once in a while because of Kaden's violent past, but that's my damage, not the story's.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I liked the horse that Kaden finally broke, mainly because they were so alike.

What aspect of Jeff Gelder’s performance would you have changed?

It was kind of flat. That's semi-unfair because I compare all narrators to Holter Graham, who's the best narrator ever. Mr. Gelder did a descent job, though.

Who was the most memorable character of Touch Me Gently and why?

Logan because he was so kind and protective of Kaden and his little sister. He's the typical hero, but fights his feelings until Kaden really needs him.

Any additional comments?

I tried this story on a whim and wasn't disappointed. I love happy endings and this one had a great one.

A good listen while doing chores

I love that most of the story is fluff and romance spiced with comfort when needed. The characters aren't perfect, and I liked the pace in which they developed. The antagonist is a bit too much at times, but as he is hardly there it doesn't matter. I didn’t much like the last hour of the story, which is the reason why the story only gets 4 stars instead of 5. The first many hours are filled with meaning full moments that shows the slow healing, hope to move on, and the occasional draw back. While there’s also some (probably just as many) in the last part I just didn’t like the new characters introduced and their effect on the protagonist.

This is one of my preferred scenarios traumatized guy getting help to get healed and currently one of my favourite books. If you’ve heard Chasing Seth and found it ‘not quite heart-warming’ then don’t judge this book from that. Chasing Seth was a fine book well worth at least one listen, but this one is so much better.

Great narration and story

it's more of a preference but I didn't like the writing style. The author wrote it so they were always repeating the character's name with an action. The narrator spoke in a similar volume so there was no variance. I started to tune out the story and had to rewind it, realizing I missed it. It has a good premise (shoulder shrug).

I really wanted to like it

Slow to build, as a good love story should be. The story skirts the boundaries of the believable, but that's alright. Who reads romance for realism? It's less focused on physical intimacy than many other audible titles of this genre, and much more focused on the emotional quality of a building love story, which I appreciated. All in all a gentle and articulate romance which is worth the download. Would purchase more titles by this author if they were available, and would reccommend.

Nice, if unlikely romance
