King of Pain

Damaged Hearts, Book 1

De: JP Joseph

Narrado por: Lance Greenfield, Devon Ryder

In an epic love story caught between neon lights and shadowed pasts, two hearts collide.

Their souls are bound by secrets, passion, and the undeniable pulse of the 80's. Anthony Pacini is guarded, haunted, and desperate to break free. Chance Sullivan is a hotter-than-sin rebel running from a fate already written. Together, they're headed straight for heartbreak—or redemption.

Anthony Pacini: A college football player entering his final year at Arizona State. When he's not dominating the field, he's working at Devil Records, indulging his deep obsession with 80's music. Proudly Italian and a passionate cook, Anthony carries the weight of a traumatic past, making him guarded and firmly in denial about his true feelings and desires.

Chance Sullivan: Recently transplanted from Boston to Arizona, Chance seeks to forge a new path far removed from the life previously planned for him as a member of The Doves, an Irish organization with deep roots. Chance shares Anthony's fervent love for 80's music, and the moment he walks into Devil Records on his first day of work and locks eyes with Anthony, Chance is certain of one thing—he must have him.

King of Pain is a standalone with a happy ending. It is the first book in the Damaged Hearts series; each book will feature a different couple. Six novels are planned for the series.

This is a dual POV heartfelt MM romance with all 80's music vibes.

Absolutely loved this!!!!!

King of Pain was ABSOLUTELY FREAKING FANTASTIC!!! I loved this!!!! I went into this only knowing that there were 80s vibes but really completely blind. I’m so happy that I did. Thai was such a fantastic story of strength, courage, forgiveness and vulnerability! The characters were so beautiful and the plot line was devastating and beautiful! The pain and trauma, the tragedy, the redemption! ALL SO INCREDIBLE!!!

Absolutely Perfection!

This is the first book that I’ve read from this author, so I am now a fan for life. From the found family, to the beautiful, unconditional love between Ant and Chance (and Guinness too) this was by far one of the best books I’ve ever read! The way the chapters were titled was so original and made this 80s fan very happy! Lance and Devon made the story jump off the pages with their excellent performances! Thank you for this masterpiece!
