Halo

The Beginning of Always, Book 1

De: E.M. Lindsey

Narrado por: Iggy Toma

One mistake: Victor got into the wrong car. One decision: Oliver didn't kick him out. One lie: neither of them knows who the other person is—at least, not until it's too late to turn back.

There are many words for what Oliver does for a living, and none of them are very kind. Oliver's time in that industry is nearly at an end, so when a gorgeous older man with sad eyes stumbles into his path, Oliver finds it impossible to turn him away.

Victor looks at him like he's an angel, even when Oliver feels like a devil, but he knows better than to hope. After all, men like them are only ever destined for star-crossed love.

As months of separation carry on, Oliver realizes that maybe he really is willing to fight for what he wants and, more importantly, for who.

Halo is a standalone novel featuring an age gap romance, the best hot wings known to man, the merits of good gas station burritos, aquarium dates, meteor showers, lava lamp mood lighting, kissing hands, and the most hard-won happily ever after you may ever hear.

Loved this!

Wonderful narration by Iggy Toma who is one of my favorites. The story had just enough angst and the characters were just sooo loveable!

Sweet love story, FAVORITE narrator!!

This was a very tender love story, read by my favorite narrator!!!! I loved the characters helped each other to become self aware in positive ways.

I think that’s the best thing I’ve listened to this year

We’re all basking in the queer joy of Heated Rivalry right now. This book gave me queer joy too. The writing is good. The narration is good.

The character with cerebral palsy is written in such a “real” way. It’s just part of him. There’s no preaching or teaching. It presents challenges sometimes, but they learn to navigate those together. This is one of the most honest representations of a physical disability that I’ve encountered in fiction.

I fell for both these characters, and I’m so happy for their happy.

The world is rough right now. I needed the feeling this book gave me. Gonna hold onto it as long as I can.

Just as good the second time!

I absolutely love this book. The disability rep is stunningly done and the love Oliver and Victor find in each other is so perfect! They each bring baggage to the relationship but also equally bring comfort and care to the other.

Beautiful story🔥❤️👏

First and foremost, the narration is outstanding. Iggy Toma is perfet for this book. He gave all the characters the perfect personalities. This story is a beautiful healing love story. You definitely find yourself rooting for the main characters. Lace panties and leg braces make for a great romance. 👏❤️🩲
