Secrets and truths

I love this book. It definitely can hurt your heart. You will feel a range of emotions with it so prepare for the roller coaster. Knox the one people are friends with but no one really knows. Aston the social butterfly. These two are oil and water. One night changed everything. All that was left was years of anger and grudges. Being in the same friend group made it difficult but they kept to their corners until one college class changed the course. That course will change everything for both of them.

Michael and Silas did such a great job of bringing them to life. The emotions were shown so well. You felt it all right along with them. It was such an easy listen for me once I started I didn’t stop so be prepared to be pulled in.

Knox and Aston

4.5/5 ⭐
3.0/5 🌶️
5.0/5 🎧

I love Aston and Knox so much. While this has hurt/comfort elements, I don't think I'd call it that. It was very much enemies to lovers with hate spice galore and I loved every moment. Their push and pull was so insanely seggsee.

Everyone should have a friend like Katie, just saying. She was such a highlight of this story and I was so happy there was never any jealousy about her presence. She was exactly what Knox needed and I was so happy she was there.

The audio was fantastic. Pink Flamingo did an amazing job like always. I loved listening to Michael Gallagher and Silas Hart, they were both tremendous.

Angsty, Emotional & Steamy~Terrific Story & Listen

Ashley James pens another winning novel set in her “Deepest Desires” series, a captivating MM enemies-to-lovers romance, an emotionally moving story. Aston Walker and Knox Finnegan met at a party and had a moment, a moment that Knox wished never happened and one that caused him to hate Aston. Aston had no idea what he did to cause that hate, but two years later, both were attending the same college and were in the same class, and were paired to work on a class project together. Knox was not happy about but had no choice but to go with it and Aston was a good sport about it, despite the angst. The chemistry between these two is undeniable, but nothing could ever happen between them because Knox was straight and being anything other than that would be problematic with his family. Except he could only deny himself for so long. It was great to see him finally give in to his deepest desires, because Aston and Knox were great together and for each other. Knox struggled with his inner demons and when he goes back home during school break, he faced his biggest demon, his abusive father. While he shared his struggles with a friend, I wished he would have shared them with Aston. I get why he didn’t, but if he did, it would have saved them a lot of heartache. Ashley James put these two through the wringer, and hearing what Knox had to endure was gut-wrenching, and I was proud of him when he finally freed himself of that hatred. Knox and Aston’s story was not an easy one, but it is one that needs to be heard, fiction or not, because it happens, sadly, and the author kept it all real. It is a beautifully written story, the world building and character development is absolutely fantastic. There is never a dull moment, the drama is non-stop, and it is high in angst, emotions and steamy romance. Ashley James, thank you for another great story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 Michael Gallagher and Silas Hart were the perfect cast to bring these characters to life and did so with a complete understanding of who they were portraying, giving each a voice that was fitting. I loved how they took their roles and owned them, sounding believable and just as I imagined they would sound. They set the right tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling every single one. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to and their performance elevates the story to another level. Thank you for another fantastic listen.

Forsaken Desires

Omg, talk about being confused about your Sexuality. But I understand what he was going through, with a father like that who wouldn't be afraid, and a mother who doesn't care doesn't make it any easier. I hate both parents. I think the best thing that happen to him was his BFF Katie, because he really need some like her. but I'm also glad that Ash was there too. Knox really needed them both and because of it he finally was able to know what real love was. awww just writing this is making me wanna cry. but Ashley James does it again. makes me fall for these characters and let's not forget how good the narrators where on bring this little book to life. all in all this was an amazing story. I can't wait for the next book. I want to know who's next to fall in love.
