Resumen del Editor

At only 32, Bishop Stockley has lived a hard-knock life. After doing five years in a federal prison, Bishop is back at his dad's trailer and working for his landscaping company, thrust into a legit world where he's no longer the alpha - a world where a criminal record is the least of his disadvantages, because Bishop can't read or write.

Bishop already had the deck stacked against him, but he wasn't afraid of hard work to change his situation, and he did want to change. Especially after he encountered Edison Scala, a kind-spirited office manager who didn't hesitate to come to his defense...a man that saw past Bishop's grass-stained coveralls. A man who wasn't intimidated by his stern features and his silence.

Bishop knew Edison was off-limits. He'd made personal vows to himself when he was released from prison, ones that he never intended to break. But, when Edison asked him about providing landscaping services at his home, there was no way he could refuse. He hadn't expected Edison to feed him, praise him, encourage him, and look at him the way he did - as if Bishop was somebody.

Contains mature themes.

i love this author!

Man I love AE Via! I LOVED Bishop and his relationship with his dad. I super loved how the author handled Bishop's learning disorder and I adored the relationship between Bishop and Edison.
While I'm not sure I really saw the creepy stalker co-worker thing working out quite like it did, I was psyched to see Edison begin to stand up for himself and I loved how Bishop was there for him.
The pacing and gentle progression of this love story are what kept me captivated and wanting to just keep reading.
This was awesome and 5 stars aren't enough!
Highly Recommended!
Audio
Tor Thom kicked butt in this! I love his voice and I thought he fit Bishop’s voice perfectly!
Thoroughly enjoyable and well worth the wait!


5 of 5 stars

This was TRULY a love story! Wow, folks!

What a truly wonderful book! REALLY! I shed tears of sadness, cried with laughter, and wanted to hug the daylights out of the author for writing such a beautiful story. The audiobook narrated by Tor Thom, who has the deepest richest male voice I have EVER heard, lent his considerable talent to this INCREDIBLE book. A. E. Via gives us Bishop Stockley, an illiterate but talented landscape designer, and Edison Scala, an executive officer who has battled with his weight and with loneliness for most of his life. I pulled and cheered for this couple so much as both are such very beautiful men. And on the surface, both were men I wouldn't ordinarily like at all! I am amazed at the writer's ability to make me love her characters and anticipate the next book of her series so much!

I loved this book even more

This it’s such a beautiful story. It deals with trials and tribulations, failures and triumphant moments. Bishop is such a loving man and is trying to live his best life. He fails to understand his worth and what he brings to the table. His lover is lonely. Bishop helps to fill that space. And then there’s Trent - a tortured soul in his own right.

Most importantly this story highlights the ingenuity it takes to make it in our society with this disability.

awesome and at times had me laughing out loud.

Awesome underdog story. Loved the characters Trent and Mike as well. Trent cracked me up...

MM Redemption Romance

Honestly, this was not what I expected at all. It was way less angst than I was figuring on. It was perfect for both Bishop and Edison, as they deserved the best. I was happy to read about an MC who was not a perfect 10, and struggled to be where he was. It was nice how much Bishop loved Edison and loved the way he looked. I adored all the food talk and cooking, as I am a foodie! I really like how Bishop lived for himself and made sure to keep pushing forward and I enjoyed how Mike and his relationship just got better and better. I thought the storyline in this was good and it made me want to read Trent & Wood's story sooo much. I cannot wait to dive in. Tor Thom is a great narrator and this was no different for this book. If a great redemption story is your jam, definitely pick this up.

Five stars

Great book the emotional connection to cope and withstand all that happened to both men and coming back from it. the writing and performance as well as the story great.

AE is awesome the narrator is horrible

I LOVE AE VIA I love her books but sweet Jesus the narrator is horrible. They really should do a repeat of this book with Aiden Snow. I have tried three times and I can’t listen to him anymore so I’ll just read the paper copy or go back to God and Day.

Incredibly romantic and great narration!

This romance has some cheesy and dramatic parts, but it’s entertaining enough and I LOVED Bishop and Edison. These guys are head over heels in love and so into each other. Bishop is hardly quiet about how attracted he is to Edwin and it’s so s*xy! I appreciate that their relationship is pretty dang solid and, for the most part, they communicate and work through issues together. Bishop does hold back some things about himself, but when they come out Edison totally understands why and they move forward together. Definitely pick this up if you’re looking for something really romantic. I’ve also listened to the audiobook and I loved it. The narrator, Tor Thom, does a great job!

Good story

This is a great story if you can get past the narrator who almost ruins the experience. I almost had to give up, but I wanted the story so I stuck with it. This guy should not be reading books unless he’s trying to put the listener to sleep.

All The Goodness!

This book was excellent!!! It has the perfect amount of sweetness and love with a funny best friend, obnoxious, trouble making, side character and food. The spice was great and the HEA was nice! Really looking forward to starting the next book now! Loved Trent and can't wait to meet Wood!
