Resumen del Editor

After a whirlwind romance, a man with a painful past learns to trust the musician who makes him believe in happy endings.

Matt Argento knows what it feels like to be alone. After a childhood of abandonment, he never imagined someone might love him - much less someone like Rhys Nyland, who has the voice of an angel, the looks of a god, and the worship of his fans.

Matt and Rhys come from different worlds, but when they meet, their chemistry is incendiary. Their romance is unexpected, intense, and forever - at least, that's what their vows promise. Suddenly, Matt finds himself living a life he never thought possible: safe and secure in the arms of a man who feels like home. But when Rhys leaves to go on tour for his new album, Matt finds himself haunted by the ghosts of his past.

When Rhys returns, he finds Matt twisted by doubt. But Rhys loves Matt fiercely, and he'll go to hell and back to triumph over Matt's fears. After secrets are revealed and desires are confessed, Rhys and Matt must learn to trust each other if they're going to make it. That means they have to fall in love all over again - and this time, it really will be forever.

Contains mature themes.

All the stars!!

I have to admit that I delayed reading this story because I was afraid it would turn me into a blubbering mess. Now I really wish I hadn't waited. I found this story to be very moving. And while it didn't turn into the blubber-fest it easily could have been, I am grateful that the author took a bit of pity on us and kept the angst levels right on the edge. I already knew that the narrator, Greg Boudreaux, is exceptionally talented, but his ability to draw me into the psyche of each character (including the dog), of making me experience the ups and downs that each character experiences (including the dog), took this story beyond the next level. He handled the emotions of the characters, and of the story like a maestro. I don't believe any other narrator could have delivered this story so skillfully, beautifully, or as real.

Another Gem From Roan Parrish

The concept of writing a love story about a couple that’s already married is unique, but challenging. When I first heard that Rend would be about Rhys and Matt, a couple that is already established in Riven, I wondered if perhaps Roan Parrish was backtracking and telling the story of how they met and fell in love. Then, as I began reading Rend, I realized there were some flashbacks to their beginning, but this is a story of a couple almost two years into their relationship. So I wondered where Roan was taking them in this story. How do you make a love story interesting when the couple is already together? I was a little worried that outside influences might emerge to cause trouble for Matt and Rhys, but I should’ve known better where Roan Parrish is concerned. Inner conflict. The inner conflict that Roan Parrish writes so beautifully was enough to turn Matt and Rhys’s world on its axis. She’s so damn good at taking you into a character’s psyche and making you ache right along with them though their struggle. Rend is a story about two souls so deeply in love that they want to spare the other from sadness and pain.

Greg Boudreaux’s narration is superb! I like how he changed his voice to suit each character. He tells the story so beautifully and captures every emotion from joy to pain so fluidly. The ache in his voice during some of Matt’s more painful moments brought tears to my eyes.

fantastic

great book and narrated very well wish there it was a series. 👍👍2 thumbs up

Tragically beautiful

My God! It was just so tragically BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Roan Parrish, new favorite author!!! Like, EFF!!!! Greg Boudreaux, new narrator for me, excellent acting my dude!!!! Loved every minute of this amazing story!!!!

not enough stars

Greg Boudreaux played me like a fiddle with his story telling. I felt it all through his words....the actual words of Roan Parrish, which are woven so painfully beautiful and quite the ride. I don't like reviews that tell me the story. I like to read a review that tells me how great it is and to "pick me!" when you are searching for your next best read. here it is, folks. buckle up! LOVE

I'll be short about this, in the best possible way

The book is great. Greg Boudreaux did a stellar job in narrating it. He is one of the few narrators who really add a dimension to a story, who makes the characters come alive. Five stars, all around.

I dare you not to cry

Anther great offering We met Rhys and Matt in Riven and now here is their story. Again, great deeply emotional characters you simply love and cheer for— I had tears rolling down my face at one point. I liked Riven better but this is still a great story. And Theo shows up with some regularity (yay!).

Top 10 Read Of The Year!! (Yes, I’m calling it now because this book was freaking MAGIC!)

WOW. This series gets better and better each book. Matt and Rhys are so amazing and freaking soulmates. This is a love story I can live in. It’s strangers to lovers, and the story happens when they are already married which is so unique and their chemistry is palpable. The most intimate and steamy book I’ve ever read because of the level of intimacy! The character development is chefs kiss, this author knows how to deliver. Gah! I need more. This book is raw and real. Dealing with healing from your past and growth and change in life and an example of never giving up on your marriage. A true love story! I will re-read this over and over again. The narrator was fantastic!

So many feels

This book is seriously freaking awesome, the writing, the narration - totally kick**s. My emotions were all over the place, but in the best way. I laughed, I had to hold back from crying, and then I laughed again. It was funny, witting, emotionally wrought, and so sexy. I loved Rhys & Matt and seeing Theo & Caleb from the first book in their eyes, hanging out with them, was so sweet. Roan Parrish & Greg Boudreaux brought these guys and the other people in their lives to life.
I really enjoyed the first book, Riven, and this one was even better. I can't wait to hear Raze when that comes out. (And I'm totally going to go back & re-listen to Riven, I want to revisit Rhys & Matt from Theo & Caleb's perspective, now that I know everyone better).
Seriously, get this book.

Greg brings this to life

I read this beautiful book but listening to it was such an emotional experience. Well done Greg!
