Bio-Mechanical

Irons and Works, Book 4

De: E. M. Lindsey

Narrado por: Scott D. Alford

Having grown up the son of a Southern Baptist preacher, James Gossett was expected to be one thing, and one thing only - a God-fearing, straight, Christian man. It didn’t help that from a young age, James knew he was different. He hid the truth about who he was from himself, and from his family, until a freak accident during a routine simulation right after basic training cost him both legs, and nearly his life. Knowing what he almost lost, James decided to come out - and with that, lost the rest of the blood kin he had left alive. Settling in Fairfield, James rediscovered what it meant to be part of a family who loved him for who he was - but he still had one big secret kept close to his heart. In spite of his promiscuous reputation, James was a virgin, in every sense of the word, and he wasn’t sure that would ever change.

Rowan Balk was dedicated to one thing, and one thing alone - ensuring that no child would ever suffer what he did at the hands of a prejudiced system. Having been torn from his disabled adoptive mother shortly after her MS diagnosis, Rowan grew up with a fire in him to make sure no one ever felt his pain. But his determination came at the expense of ever finding love, and until he set foot in Fairfield, he was okay with that. Then, he set eyes on the quiet, Southern tattoo artist with secrets in his eyes and a mouth he could get lost in for days. But Rowan wasn’t the sort of person who was willing to turn his life upside-down for one man, even if he knew deep down, James Gossett was probably the one. When it’s obvious James wants Rowan just as much, Rowan realizes he can’t say no. So, he makes James a proposition - he’ll help James discover himself in the bedroom, no strings attached, until Rowan leaves the state.

But will that be enough for both lonely men? Or will they somehow find a way to come together, in spite of the distance between them?

so so

The stories are good and the narrator is good as well, but he shouldn't be reading for these characters. It just doesn't sound right.

I love it!

I know I probably sound like a broken record but I love this series by this author. I always enjoy listening or re-reading everything from Ms. Lindsey. I don't have a way with words nor do I write the best reviews, however I am honest and I think she is a great storyteller and the narrator does a superb job bringing the characters to life.

Interesting story

I had to finish the story by reading it because I couldn’t get through the narration. I appreciate the narrator trying to pitch his voice to do different people but he kept making Rowan sound like when you mock an elderly man. It threw me off and I couldn’t get past it.

Love the story not the narrator

I had some issues with the narrator- I just could not get used to his voice/the voice he chose for the main characters. It felt flat to me, lacking in emotion (and this is a very emotional story/series).
It really prevented me from connecting with the characters as I would have liked, I feel like reading it in E-book would have been better.
James and Rowan share a great connection from the start, they have a rather steamy time together but also create a safe space for each of them to be themselves.
I love how the author makes sure to portray healthy sexuality and physical relationships in a realistic way. In particular because this series portrays characters with physical and neurological disabilities, the care taken to make sure it is accurate and respectful is admirable. There is no hiding of less then ideal details, these are human beings and they are far from perfect.
I also like how this story is intertwined in the other books- the plot is not linear, events overlap.

James stole my heart

this book was amazing. the narration was wonderful and the characters came to life. I can't wait for the next book!
