A Clean Break

Gay Amish Romance Series, Book 2

By: Keira Andrews

Narrated by: John Solo

They've escaped to the outside world - but can they really be free?

David and Isaac have found happiness in each other's arms. In faraway San Francisco, Isaac's brother Aaron helps them explore confusing "English" life and move beyond the looming shadow of their Amish roots. For the first time, David and Isaac can be openly gay, yet they struggle to reconcile their sexuality with their faith. At least they don't have to hide their relationship, which should make everything easier. Right?

But while Isaac thrives at school and makes new friends, David wrestles to come to terms with the reality of the outside world. Haunted by guilt at leaving his mother and sisters behind in Zebulon, he's overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of the city as he works to get his carpentry business off the ground.

While David and Isaac finally sleep side by side each night, fear and insecurity could drive them miles apart.

Contains mature themes.

I’m still crying

This dragged a bit. It’s very angsty too. So if you’re not into that it’s a lot. Triggering to those who might suffer from sexual assault, anxiety and panic attacks and alcoholism. There’s a lot here. I just wish more people saw David’s severe depression and pain. He is such a good person and it’s so hard to see him unravel. If the bartender was a real person omg I’d go see him and give him a hug. The sister in law too. Both of them were fantastic. Clark not so much. 😒

Love this series

Although I thought the end of this second book dragged a bit, I was right in there, invested. Am starting Book 3 tonite. Narrator Solo is, as always, top notch.

soo relatable

I love this book! I resonate so deeply with Aaarons feelings and David's experience in the world. I still sometimes struggle with culture shock and all that goes along with leaving the Plain culture . Thank you for this book Keira!

A Clean Break

Another fascinating read with David and Isaac. I was so happy to continue reading their story and following with them as they assimilated to ‘English’ life and the struggles they encountered along the way. I also loved the introduction of Aaron and Jen and how they so easily welcomed David and Isaac into their lives and so gladly helped them. I love seeing relationships and individuals finding the support and acceptance they’ve always craved. It makes me so happy. Can’t wait to start book three!

I listened to this and found the narrator fantastic. John Solo, well, solo narrates the whole series and did fantastic on all the parts. It was easy to differentiate characters and he was easy to listen to. Would definitely listen to other books he narrates.

Excitement and Pain

I spent most of the story worrying for David and hoping someone would notice his pain even during the excitement of being I the world. I loved Isaac's family and their help. The ending well since I finished listening to the book on the way home I can't wait to get home and order the next book. But as chaotic as the ending was at least you are left with hope.
