Yanni's Story

Spencer Cohen Series, Book 4

De: N.R. Walker

Narrado por: Joel Leslie

When Yanni Tomaras is kicked out of his family home, his parents' final words are religious insults and an order to never return. Homeless and desperate, he's lured in by Lance - charming on the outside, an evil predator underneath - who abuses Yanni until he finds the courage to leave. Yanni should feel free. But by the time Spencer Cohen finds him, he's resigned to being handed back to Lance and once again being caged by fear.

Starting school and a part-time job, Yanni begins to reclaim his life. But a love for silent films leads him to Peter Hannikov, a man with a kind heart but who's twice his age. An unlikely friendship between them blooms into so much more. Neither man knows what he wants, at first. Finding out exactly what he needs is Yanni's story.

"I'd spent years as a bird, caged with my wings clipped, tormented and beaten. I thought I'd escaped when I'd left my abuser, but in hindsight, I could see that I was still caged, this time by fear and self-doubt. Spencer and Andrew, and Andrew's parents, opened the door to the cage that confined me. But it was Peter who taught me how to fly."

Contains mature themes.

One of my favorites

NR Walker really hit this slow burn story out of the park. Nuff said. Just read it. Although you can read this as a stand alone, i would recommend reading the first three in this series to get the full picture of Yanni’s story.

Yanni Story is Power

What is happening now is sad Hopeless and it took time healing to take that power back too himself or herself

Joel Leslie makes this!

I want to start by stating that I’m a big NR Walker fan, and I have LOVED pretty much everything she ever wrote. Mostly. But this wasn’t my favorite, unfortunately, it just hit me wrong, and I couldn’t get over the “daddy” kink. I think that’s pretty mild and only people really sensitive to the issue will notice – but that was my overshadowing impression.

I really loved the series and was happy to see Spencer again! But I wasn’t that involved in this story as I have been in the past.

The writing was good and I’m still a super fan!

While this is not my favorite NR Walker story, I still loved this series in it’s entirety and was so thankful she chose Joel to narrate. He is able to give the vast myriad characters such depth and to perform all the deeply emotional scenes to perfection.

Highly recommended in this format!

Good book

I put off reading/listening to this one for a long time. Finally did it.
I did not realize it was a “daddy kink” kinda book. I also was a lot of sad and painful stuff in the book.
It was a great story. It just was a bit much for me. I guess after Spencer Cohen I expected this to be a bit more quirky comment and funny..

Very well narrated.

one of the best books I've read

Yanni is heartbreaking, painful, beautiful, frustrating, and triumphant. it's not for the faint of heart, but there's rarely been a more satisfying happy ever after. the strength of Yanni, George Jordan Tyler Skyler and Colin will inspire you to be grateful for what you have, and thankful for groups that save people like them. there but by the grace of God go I. And seeing Lance pay for his crimes is validation for those of us who never saw our abusers caught and punished. A five star book if I ever read one. A special thanks to Joel Leslie for a wonderful performance.
