Between Sinners and Saints

By: Marie Sexton

Narrated by: John Solo

Levi Binder is a Miami bartender who cares about only two things: sex and surfing. Ostracized by his Mormon family for his homosexuality, Levi is determined to live his life his own way, but everything changes when he meets massage therapist Jaime Marshall.

Jaime is used to being alone. Haunted by the horrors of his past, his only friend is his faithful dog, Dolly. He has no idea how to handle somebody as gorgeous and vibrant as Levi.

Complete opposites on the surface, Levi and Jaime both long for something they can find only together. Through love and the therapeutic power of touch, they'll find a way to heal each other, and they'll learn to live as sinners in a family of saints.

Lovely

When the sinner becomes a saint because he’s a sinner. An absolutely amazing story about redemption, forgiveness and happiness.

Thoughtful slow burn, happy ever after gay romance

'Between Sinners and Saints’ by Marie Sexton epitomizes the thoughtful, slow burn but ‘happy ever after’ gay romance novel.

As vividly brought to life through John Solo’s perfect narration, the story of a developing trust and eventual love between Levi Binder, a 30 year old Mormon bar tender, and Jaime Marshall, a frightened, lonely massage therapist, is incredibly moving.

As the story begins in Miami, Levi is interested in only two things - surfing and sex. Jaime is leading a troubled existence with only his work and his dog, Dolly, to fill his days.

The situation changes - slowly - when Levi is referred to Jamie for help with recurring muscle and nerve pain.

Addressing some of life’s most difficult issues such as abuse, rape, and the destructive nature of the beliefs of many organized religions, Sexton certainly doesn’t sugar coat their traumatic effect.

Ultimately though, through patience and understanding, Levi and Jamie find the love and happiness they both truly desire.

With increasing family acceptance, they move to Charleston, SC to begin their new life together where they realize their own ‘happy ever after’ ending.

A Must Read! Worth 100 Stars!

What made the experience of listening to Between Sinners and Saints the most enjoyable?

This story is about sacrificing your old habits and putting someone special first.
Levi is real shallow and take risks he shouldn't have. Then he realized that sleeping around wasnt everything. He had alot to give up before he round all of his rewards and learns family is everything.
Fantastic story and should be on your wish list for Christmas.

WONDERFUL M/M ROMANCE!

This was such a wonderful m/m story about putting someone else first. I just loved Levi and Jaime. I loved how tender and patient Levi was with Jaime. I felt so story for what happened to Jaime but with time and the love of Levi he was able to move pass his tragic pass. I'm so glad that Levi and his family were able to overcome their issues with him being gay. John Solo did a great job narrating the book.

Heavy on religion

Not a bad story, and, unfortunately the LDS church position on homosexuality and gay marriage are real issues for many families - but the religious aspects of this novel are not just incidental to the story. It wasn’t a “light” read, even with an unlikely HEA.
