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.

Love the series!

So sweet. Cody is such a decent, nice man & severely misunderstood. Deserved to meet his match in patient Trey

Wow

This had me in tears WHAT AN IN DEPTH JOIRNEY!!!! 10/10 from start to finish it just felt like I was there with them

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.

Just one more time.

This is a story that I could listen to over and over. And probly well fantastic narrator great story. Not often do I find myself giggling or blushing but I giggled and blushed a little bit. Why doesn't this ever happened to me....

This book should have theme song: 'Unbroken....'?

A story about two people. Each with their own lives, and burdens, ahem... challenges. Don't know if it's the cynic in me, or just because I was born in a decade where men fought wars, and landed on the moon, but this story rides the wave of heroes, who had to overcome. Both what was asked of them, by society. One obvious, the soldier, the other more subtle, the reverend son. Told with compassion, talent and set in a piece of society that is probably where the growing is done. Also, where a lot of prejudices can fester. Setting the stage of what I hope is a more modern take on LGBT... (quite frankly I can't keep up with all the letters for that I apologise), but pick up a copy of this and listen. Just listen. Life is too short to not ad variety to it. I truly enjoyed this book. The story and the narration. The core reasons why I buy Audible books. Mr. Banner can expect some more purchases of his works, if this one is a sampling of his writing. Thanks to Audible and the staff, for providing high quality material and production to a bibliophile like myself.

Great Story!

A great read that reminds us that as long as there is life, there is always hope. No matter how bad our circumstances may be or what darkness we endure, our world can completely change with the next person who walks into our lives. Never lose hope!

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?

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

Breathtakingly beautiful

I did not expect to love this book as much as I do. As an active duty Soldier I know EXACTLY what this story is about as I have lived some of this on my own life. My heart swells knowing that this book was written because it is the closest representation to my own lived experience. I hope to find my own Cody Davis one day.

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!
