Heal

An Age Gap Gay Romance (White House Men Series, Book 7)

De: Nora Phoenix

Narrado por: John Solo

Del feels broken. Can Issa be the person to help him heal?

President Delano “Del” Shafer is grieving the loss of his wife, Sarah. Now that the culprits behind the Pride Bombing and all the killings are caught, everyone has been able to move on...except Del.

His friends have all found love. Even his son is happier than Del could have ever imagined. Yet he is stuck, unable to move past the grief, the loss, and the loneliness. He has the most coveted job in the world, but he’s tired of it all. If not for Issa, his 20-year-younger body man, he wouldn’t even make it out of bed most days.

Issa, with his unfailingly sunny disposition, his infuriatingly stubborn optimism, his endless care for Del. Issa, who becomes the sole reason Del is still standing, is still smiling, is still clinging to the hope that things will get better. Issa, who is making Del feel again, laugh again, live again.

But can he also make him love again?

Heal is the last book in the White House Men series, a continuing MM romantic suspense series that needs to be listened to in order. It contains a sunshiney assistant, a slightly grumpy president, sweet hurt/comfort, an age gap, and the happiest of happy endings.

The love and respect.

This series was amazing I enjoyed it very much. it was beautiful, the love, commitment, understanding and the respect they all had for each other. I believe I will be repeating the series a couple of times.

Perfect Finale

I hate the last book in a series. You begin the story knowing it is the end. There are loose ends to be tied up. A good bit of it will be dedicated to this housekeeping.

Forget all about that. This is not only a full story of a relationship in itself, but also finishing up all the stories from this series, without feeling like it is doing housekeeping at all. It has the HEA/HFN ending for the whole series without being forced or cheesy and wrapped up the suspense/political intrigue part of the plot successfully as well.

Very well done!

I enjoyed the white house men series and I will definitely listen to it again

Fabulous finish to an amazing series

Wow this is sort of the marriage between a gay West Wing and either the movie State of Play - Each book had a fabulous romance and took us in to the back story of intrigue and suspense. It starts with a terrorist bombing of a Gay Parade and moves along to the assignation of a President and who is behind them both. Even without the romances and sexy times I would have loved the books as a fabulous suspense series . But couples in each book were so well developed and their romance so very well done. This is going into my re listen to folder John Solo did an incredible job.

whole series must tead

it's attention grabbing from book 1 to the last page of the final book. I was truly sad for it to end

Love a good series

Finishing Heal felt like saying goodbye to close friends. I loved each and every one of the couples.

awesome!!

I have devoured every book in this series. each story was unique and the characters all have my heart. Del's story was extra special because all loose ends were beautifully tied up into a tearful HEA. These books were smart, romantic, hot 🔥 and Del, especially, deserved his time. Thank you for this journey.

Great series.

Great series full of emotion. Up down and sideways the stories kept me entranced with all the characters. Have the bonds between all these people and the underlying plot of suspense and mystery was great.

enjoyed it - excellent ending to the series

📖 Story comment: this book is a masterpiece, and I ran the full gamut of emotions. It's like an epilogue for each of the couples we've met through the seires as they settle into their relationships and begin new lives. Del and Issa's story is charming, as Del's term as President comes to a close, and his new life begins with Issa - who is a perfect fit for him in every way.

🎧 Narrator comment: I enjoyed John Solo's narration and think he's done a good job narrating Heal. The concistency of character voices has been good throughout the series, with each character having their own voice so it was easy to tell them apart, he has good timing, inflections and intonations, and has done a great performance bringing the series to life.

Series Review: All the feels

I wasn't sure about this series at first. It's more story and less sex than a lot of her other books, or at least it seemed so at the beginning of the first book. However, it was a crucial part of the series, laying the groundwork for what had become my favorite series in quite some time. This series blends a REALLY good story, with some really great love and growth scenes, and just enough sex to keep things going. I'm not used to books in this genre to have such a compelling story, but all of the books in this series have a storyline that could be part of a Hollywood movie (OK, maybe with fade to black scenes). I love the growth of Milan, and all those who witnessed the Pride bombings. I like how even the domestic bad guys were described with just enough bad characteristics to be believable but not so much to actually care about them. If there's one character I would have preferred be developed differently it was Kenn.I would've liked to see him not appear or be treated as a child, but developed more of an adult personality who is in a Daddy/ Boy relationship. He was 22 for most of his book, but I got the impression he had the mentality of a very young 18 year old. I realize part of that was to infer he was introverted and didn't have many opportunities for social development, but if have liked to see him come into his own once he had a Daddy, even if not in his own book.

As always John Solo's narration was awesome! I loved how clear it was to distinguish between the characters in different books as they came back into each other's stories. And I think this was the first time I heard a British accent from him - awesome! Of course there was the to be expected "cock-tail" pause that is almost as synonymous with a John Solo narrated book as the "tada" at the end. I can't imagine anyone else doing this series justice.
