Resumen del Editor

Trevor Dixon has made too many mistakes to count. Sober for 13 months, he's determined to do the right thing: rebuild his relationship with his family and help his brother get Rock Solid Construction off the ground. Failing them again isn't an option. Too bad the first estimate Trevor goes on alone is for an uptight doctor with a superiority complex.

A hand injury took away the only important thing in Dr. Simon Malone's life - performing heart surgery. He doesn't do well with people and has no family, but being a damn good surgeon? He always had that. Now he doesn't know who he is. The last thing he wants to deal with is the young construction worker who blows his shot at remodeling Simon's home.

Trevor and Simon form an unlikely friendship. The more time they spend together, the more Trevor starts wondering if maybe Simon's not as straight - or uptight - as he thought...and maybe Trevor's new attraction to Simon runs both ways.

There are too many reasons they shouldn't be together: They have little in common, their age difference, Trevor needing to focus on his sobriety...yet there's something about each other that they just can't shake. They don't feel so lost when they're together. But with their footing so unsteady, forming a relationship that's rock solid seems impossible. There's blow after blow, and the last one just might be powerful enough to crack their foundation for good.

Lovely Love Story

Any additional comments?

This story was ROCK SOLID! I loved the emotional connection between Trevor and Simon. And the way their lives were interconnect was sad and creative. This turned out to be a lovely love story.

a very intense story with great development

a very good story with much more depth than it appeared at first. very engaging and a good representation of the struggles of early recovery though the work it takes to stay sober was minimized. as an aside, Trevor would have never met criteria for admission to a 30-day program in this day and age! LOL

Rock Solid is solid

Solid performance by a solid narrator reading solid writing. Not a story that moved me deeply in any direction or one I’m likely to remember months from now, but a decent enough way to pass a few hours.

Great book!

I went into this book simply because it was Joe Arden narrating. I wasn't overly concerned with the plot. However, once I got into it, it just sucked me in. The huge obstacles that both Trevor & Simon face are so tough to overcome. I wasn't expecting the tears to get me at the end, but I'm a softie, so I shouldn't be surprised.

The narration was overall great because it's Joe Arden and his voice is HOT. The one thing I can say is that since he voiced both characters, sometimes the switch between them wasn't so clear and could take me a minute to catch up that the POV had switched.

Overall a HOT listen and really enjoyed the book!

This was a Rock Solid read!

Simon's and Trevor's story was totally emotional. It was beautiful and a wonderful read. It was about facing a dark part of ones life, that could totally tip the scale toward a point of no return. However, I'm glad to say this was not the case. Their love was the balance that kept them from tipping over to the dark side. Their love was amazing. And that love landing them on solid ground. I highly recommend their story. ENJOY!

Great Story, Good Narration

I liked the relationship between the two main characters as well as the side characters. There was enough angst to feel appropriate for the subject matter without being too much. I haven’t listened to much from Joe Arden, but I liked his voice for this story. I did wish that there was more differentiation between male voices. I forgot who was supposed to be speaking more than once because all the men sounded the same.

Performance/Story

The story was so good I couldn’t stop listningen. I listen when I was cooking, washingup, sittning in the soda etc! And the narrater was very good. Thank you! 😎

enjoyable...

Working back through this favorite author's work and enjoying it. This is a favorite narrator as well and I enjoyed listening to this but I will say that both the author and narrator have developed/ honed their skills and their more recent work is stellar. I would say give this 30 min to get into and then you'll start to settle into the writing and narration.

Memories

Brought back memories of seeing a loved one go thru the same thing. How hard it is to fight the demon every day. in this story the recovering addict was able to get help and stay clean. However, my loved one let the demon take their life.

Awesome start to a new series

t was a great story. Poor Trevor put himself through a lot as a teenager & young adult. But we see that he is working hard to keep clean & take control of his life as well as showing his twin, mother & the people around him that he is a better man. Poor Simon had a devastating injury that caused him to be unable to perform surgery any longer and is kind of a bitter lost soul. What I loved is that Simon never doubted Trevor and stood by his side. Things were not easy in the least for these two but they did make through it together. I can't wait for the next book in this series.

I enjoyed the audio book but the narrator did not distinguish the voices good enough. There are some points that I wasn't real sure who was speaking.
