Braving His Past

De: Patricia D. Eddy

Narrado por: Greg Boudreaux, Tim Paige, Grace Grant

Graham Peck had his life planned out. Serve in the Coast Guard like the rest of his family. See the world. But an innocent New Year’s kiss - with another man - leads to a vicious attack that forces him back into civilian life. A life he has no idea how to navigate.

Until he hooks up with a group of deadly, battle-worn soldiers. They don’t care who he loves - as long as he stays on mission.

Quinton Silver can’t make it down his front steps. Not since the man who was supposed to love him turned out to be a monster. Inside, hiding under an assumed name in a city halfway across the country from his deranged lover, he’s safe. Even if he is alone.

Desperation leads to a chance meeting, and while Graham and Quinton have every reason not to trust one another, they’re drawn together by an unstoppable force neither can control.

Can they heal one another? Or will one wrong move lead Q’s stalker right to his door?

Braving His Past is book 8 in the award-winning Away from Keyboard series. This M/M romance features some sensitive themes, including recovery from sexual assault. While characters from other books in the series make appearances in this book, it can be read as a stand-alone.

Only OK

Too much angst. Not enough sex. Narration was great. Greg Tremblay is always really good

Love this series

I love this series, and this is another great entry. I am always looking forward to the next book.

I wish this author wrote more MM!

I'm really sad that this author doesn't write more MM because I really enjoy her writing, but I only listen to MM. It's just personal preference.
I really DID enjoy all of the characters in this book, and as much as I don't read MF, part of me does want to go back and hear each of their stories.
I love a good hurt/comfort, and we definitely get that with this book. Both Graham and Q have their own pain and trauma that they have dealt with and are still dealing with, but I didn't feel like either of them played the victim card... though they had moments where they struggled, their strength was evident, and I appreciate that characteristic.
The plot moved quickly and didn't drag at all. Had enough action to keep my attention, and the ending was great.

Another action packed AFK novel from Patricia Eddy

PDE has hit it out of the park again with a action and emotionally packed novel! I love how she writes about the "beautifully broken" and how these couple work with each other to accomplish and support each other with work goals. With this both she has also addressed alternative lifestyles in a loving and sensitive way.

Audio Review: Narrated by Greg Boudreaux, Tim Paige, Grace Grant
I received this audio as part of an ARC and while I love audiobooks I had some hesitation because I have had hit or miss results with male narration! Greg and Tim are fantastic! Great intonation and inflection! Thank you! Not to mention the swoon worthy Texan accent.

Good book

This book not only shows love, kindness and patience, but it also show that blood doesn’t always make a family the people who have your back at any given moment can be family.

Great story

Wow!! what a ride. Two men both fighting demons, who knew they could help each other.... Family isn't always blood.. Awesomely Great Narration. well worth the credit and your time to listen. It's definitely a standalone.

Danger, Danger

This story is the acting out of just because you paranoid doesn't mean people aren't out to get you. These two men have a strange meet up. They seem like an unlikely pair that don't seem like relationship material because of the baggage they carry. Yet you can feel their connection. This story has some hard moments with violence and assault. I listened to the audio version that only amped up the tension. It was really no fun to reach a dramatic moment to go into work. This book had me on the edge of my seat.
