Born Again Sinner

By: Daryl Banner

Narrated by: Chris Chambers, Sean Crisden

Length: 10 hrs and 2 mins

Publisher's Summary

"Cody Davis is gonna make a sinner out of me."

Yes, I know exactly who he is. The wounded soldier at the end of Willow Street. Intimidating. Devastatingly handsome. Muscular body chiseled from stone. Deep dark eyes that dare you to come near. Attitude for days. And I just became his caregiver.

Everyone warned me to stay away from him - including my father, the respected minister of our small town of Spruce. But clearly, I'm too stubborn to heed good advice, especially when Cody Davis is as frustratingly attractive - and persistent - as they come.

As the preacher's son, I have strict morals I must live by. But each day spent with that aggravating hunk makes me question them. My safe and fragile world is turning upside down, and I'm not sure I have the strength to stop it.

And even worse: I'm not sure I want to. Temptation this bad never looked so good. This soldier is gonna make a sinner out of me.

Contains mature themes.

Finally, an audio book with realistic sex

I loved this book because it is a good...not great...but good story line and well developed characters. This book gets extra high ratings from me because when it came to the pivotal sex scene they did the obligatory conversation about safe sex but as what often happens in real life there is no condom to be found and the two main characters discuss it and decide to proceed anyway. I get that we all have to be concerned the spread of HIV and STDs. However today, with PrEP there is much more condomless sex going on. No value statement on whether good or bad, just that it is reality. I hate when a very good, very realistic story gets to the sex and then it turns into a commercial for safe sex. I mean really, not every gay man ALWAYS has condom and lube in the night stand next to the bed, or when it is sex in the shower and all of a sudden a condom appears...really?

First M/M romance for this straight girl

I used my audible credit and got “Born Again Sinner”, my first M/M romance novel. First off the book was amazing! It had me laughing, tearing up, and waiting on the edge of my seat. Made me think of some of my brothers by choice... the innocent one and the foul mouthed military man. I think that’s why I feel in love with the story, I could relate to both of the main characters! Secondly, the guys who recorded the audiobook are awesome! They aren’t just reading the book they bring the characters to life!

Cody is the best character ever

Give this book a chance if for no other reason than for Cody. I have known men exactly like him and this author caught that perfectly. Such great character building. He's harsh and rough around the edges, but he's real. so good.

2 narrator

I really enjoyed the book and i would recommend. my only issue was the fact that there were 2 narrators. it was annoying/distracting having 2 different voices for each character, especially the main characters

I really want to see how this pair unlikely pair made out in the years to come.

Who Says Erotica Can't Be More Than.......

I have been enjoying the line of stories aimed at gay men. But, every once in awhile, something happens that catches you by surprise. That's what happened to me when I listened to this story.
Oh, it has all the adult action that I expected.
But, what I didn't expect was to be, well, touched,
I've been out a very long time and I've been to hell and back more than once about being gay.
But, I'm still here. And my partner is on the other side of the country. He's going through a rough time. And, I didn't realize how much it bothers me that I can't help him until I got to the Chapter where Cody has to... I won't spoil it for you, but you'll know it when you get to it!
I sat here with tears streaming down my face quite to my surprise! I don't get like this very often, but I guess I needed it.
So, to Mr. Banner and Messers Chambers and Crisden -- thank you doesn't seem like enough.
So, if you need some hope from most unexpected source or even if all you want is an old-fashioned boy-meets-boy, bot- almost-loses-boy, other-boy-almost-loses-boy-and-more , boys-finally-stop-being-stupid story and you know the rest of the story-- here it is!

Heat and sweet!

I really liked this story. It’s both sweet and full of heat (and a whole lot of Southern sass, too!).
I loved how both characters evolve, or better, reveal hidden parts of themselves as the story progressed. Cody, who is super though and honestly quite scary at the beginning, starts to thaw pretty soon to Trey; Trey on the contrary, whom you would expect being the meekest of the two, being less experienced and unused to standing his ground, reveals a surprising inner strength and determination to get what he wants.
I actually enjoyed the double narration, and I never had any problems identifying which character was speaking at any given moment.
