Faded Dreams

By: B L Maxwell

Narrated by: Guy Veryzer

Rory Smith has been playing bass for Blinding Light since the beginning. Sure, he left a few times temporarily, but he’s always gone back to the only life he’s really known. It was all fun and games in his twenties, but lately he wonders if there’s something more out there besides traveling show to show.

Jack Vance has always been a huge fan of Blinding Light, but the real reason he goes to every show he can sneak into is to get a glimpse of their hot bass player. Everyone else worshiped the lead singer Easy Rian. When they found out, he was out and proud, and in a relationship with the new guitar player, many hearts were broken. But not his. His heart only beats for Rory, the white-blonde haired rock god that he can’t get out of his head.

Rory’s played the rockstar game for many years. Not one time in all those years has he met anyone who made him feel the way the cute guy off to the side with the haunting blue eyes does. He’s always kept his heart of lockdown, but maybe it’s time for a jailbreak. His dreams have faded, but they’re not completely gone.

Delivering Love!

I absolutely adored this pairing. The struggling delivery guy Kai who was just genuinely interested in Rory for Rory. It made for an easy and enjoyable listen that they pretty much instantly connected with one another. The feelings were just there! The only angst was the background noise of others surrounding them. They were sweet and so solid despite it all.

Well written and very relatable!

Well written and very relatable! I listened to the whole book in one sitting. I really like it and look forward to enjoying the other blinding light books.

music and love

Rory and Kai story was interesting and entertaining.
Their first meeting was endearing and kind of funny.
I liked the teasing and the shenanigans, also the comradery between them, how easily Kai was accepted by them, and how well he fitted with all their quirks.
I adored their moments together, how they learned new things about themselves, and how they helped each other.
I liked the narrator's voices and accents, as well as his way of bringing to life this story.
