Exiled

An Unlucky 13 Standalone

De: Jessie Walker

Narrado por: Liam DiCosimo, Aiden Snow

Close your eyes. I'll close mine too.

Growing up, I was the problem child teachers didn't know what to do with. The troubled teen whose parents wished was never born. The system's made of cracks, and I fell through each and every one, all in a futile effort to protect the family legacy.

They tried to fix me. Doctors… therapists… teachers… pastors... And they failed. Epically.

Now, eighteen, and fresh out of Hell, I'm thrown into the last place I ever expected.

Rehab.

Enter Nolan Dresden. Newly divorced. A recovering alcoholic. Almost double my age. He doesn't think he needs to be here anymore than I do, and all he sees when he looks at me is a privileged little prince.

When a team building exercise takes a deadly turn, stranding Nolan and me out in the wild for a night, not only do we find ourselves bonding over our shared trauma… but surrendering to a current neither of us can escape.

Six weeks. That's all we have together before we have to come up for air. He's worried I'll grow attached. I'm worried he's right.

Like the storms that rage inside me… there's no stopping the inevitable. And when all is said and done, it'll be a miracle if either of us walks away unscathed.

Exiled is a full-length emotional M/M standalone for mature listeners.

Wow

This story was beautifully written. The way the author goes into detail about how autism impacts an individual and how misunderstood autistic people are. I loved going through this love story with Nol and Skylar 🥰 I highly recommend this one

Pulled Apart

This Book…just WOW!!!! Have you ever felt like your heart is being slowly taken apart, like someone is pulling a string and your heart is disheveling moment by moment. There are a few times when you think, this is good, but it never feels complete, then you are…empty…you stare around and wonder how you got there, and why are we there…to then turn and see your heart is safe and fuller then it was before?? You haven’t? Then you obviously have not experienced Nolan and Skyler because that is how this book felt. The narrators did a fantastic job with telling the story and allowing the reader to get lost in the storm. This is my first full book by Jessie Walker (currently also reading Where There’s a Will) and I am ready to read more, this was written so well that I did not have a favorite character. Which, I always have a favorite, but I love Nolan and Sky the same and could not pick between them. I love that they are so different and how they complete each other in a way that I could not have predicted.

Great book

Loved the autism representation was greatly done and the alcoholism was done well also loved the story and the characters

such a beautifully heart wrenching story

first let me say that the narration was top notch on this one. this book is very well written with so many ups and downs. Yet it was also full of hope which is exceptional when writing a love story with so many ups and downs.

Highly Recommend this must read/Listen you will not regret it

Narrators.. you did such ama amazing job! You made me feel it. Amazing! I’ll be listening again and again.

Amazing

First time reading this author and it was amazing! Wanted to start at the beginning of this series but I’m a narrator snob and this was the first book o could tolerate both narrators. One was almost a no go with the feminine whine at times. Story was amazing-great love story with a HEA. Going to try and be more opened minded and listen to some of the others in this series.

Loved this book!!

It took me a while to finally start this one, but once I did I didn't stop! It's beautifully written. It will crack your heart open and then heal it back!

Great!

This was my first book by this author and I absolutely loved it! what an epic love story filled with all the emotion and challenges that brought all the feelings. Aiden Snow is always a favorite and was amazing here and Liam really nailed some emotional scenes so well.
