Publisher's summary

Lorenzo Moretti and Damon Blackwell have never met, but they're tied together by the same tragedy. They were both there that night. They each lost someone they loved. They've been living as shells of their former selves ever since. Running into each other and realizing their shared pasts? Pure serendipity.

Being together is a tingle at the base of Enzo's spine, a comfort that settles into Damon's bones. No one understands what they went through the night the club caught fire - until now. For the first time, they have someone to lean on, someone who knows all the right things to say and when to say nothing at all. Neither of them has been with another man before, but their shared connection grows from friendship and explodes into something more, something raw and desperate and real. Now, they're dealing not only with their pasts, but their new relationship, the one thing that calms their internal storms.

Enzo and Damon might not know much else, but with every touch, with every word, and every night spent exploring each other's bodies, they know they're in love. They keep each other going, show each other what happiness really is.

But love alone can't get them through. Damon and Enzo must decide if they really have what it takes to work through their trauma and fight for the happily ever after that's waiting just on the horizon.

Straight men in balls deep! Hot hot hot!

Ok, so parts of it is sad because of the way Enzo and Damon met. Other than that the story is about how two straight men's bond grows beyond platonic... it is so gradual and natural... so beautiful. Riley is such an awesome writer and Michael brings the book to life. Awesome! Listening to their chemistry develop is so addictive that you won't want to put the book down until completion. Yummy!

You will love it. Enjoy!

An absolutely beautiful story of...

Loss, finding oneself, redemption, and love. The entire book flowed beautifully from beginning to end, and Michael Pauley did it justice with his incredible narration. Loved it!

Enzo and Damon are wow.

This book is sad 😢 going in and the on going turmoil these two men face is so difficult to imagine dealing with. The family that has lost an adult child due to horrific circumstances. Damon lost his sister and his mother has Alzheimer's and he has to tell her over and over that Katie is gone because she forgets. Enzo lost his brother and is faced with his family members dealing with the loss. He feels that they blame him and wish it had been him. These two men have a chance meeting and really hit it off even before they find out they were both part of the same tragic event. They are drawn together as friends but much more. They learn to talk to each other and work through their grief. They soon realize they are attracted to each other as well but will move slowly. These men are exactly what they need, each other and have fallen in 💘 love. This is a freaking awesome book and the narrator it's perfect for this.

Good and Bad

First, I am a big RH fan but there are times where her writing is a bit well, boaring. I say that will all the respect I can muster as writing a novel takes time and love. This story had good, funny moments but then there were moments that I just tuned it out.
My issue is that it seems to just go on and on with no resolve or pick up in the plot. it all just seemed to drag on.
Michael Dean did a good job with this narration (sometimes he can be too much).
Not a bad story, just not a good one.

Endless love for this book!

I love the book and love the audio version even more.

This is an emotionally charged story. Both MCs have been “existing” instead of living after experiencing a tragedy that resulted in both losing their sibling. It is heartbreaking to read how the loss has affected them and their families.

The tentative friendship grew into a strong bond, Enzo and Damon became the best of friends. Leaned on to each other. It didn’t take much for the friendship to grow into something more. But what if Enzo and Damon have always been straight? Never even thought of being with a man.

Hurt/Comfort. Friends to lovers. Family dynamics. Ms. Hart’s words. Michael Pauley’s voice. All perfect ingredients for an excellent audio book!!!

Listen to this. Fall in love with Enzo and Damon. You won’t regret it!

story good

I'm not a fan of Michael Dean. voice is very deep and he sounds like he's an auctioneer during intimate scenes.

story was descent. gfy is a strange idea for me. but they were cute and I enjoyed listening to them fall in love

Love it!

Riley hart is one of my favorite authors. She never disappoints. Her books always make me feel, and I love that. Endless stretch of blue is about two men who have been threw the same tragedy. There relationship develops slowly, and you get all the feels. Micheal pauley always nails it, nothing new 🥰🥰

Romance During Grief

Enzo and Fancy fall for each other while both going through grief over the loss of each of their siblings. This is an overall low angst MM romance with sweet caretaking undertones and self-exploration of what it means to love another man, which neither of them has done before. Great narration!

Beautiful Love-from-Tragedy Story💔!

Sweet healing after each man experienced devastating loss after a club fire. Each man blaming themselves for not saving their loved one, yet it was obvious that they were simply in the wrong place at a worse time. Forgiving ourselves is always the hardest challenge.

Riley Hart wrote a touching story, laced with delicious, meaningful passion both men were starving for. Michael Dean brought it to full life with his beautiful, rich voice. Both men were so very needy and ready to rebuild their damaged hearts together. A very satisfying, sensual journey that each man was more than ready for.

True "Sexual Healing," if ever there was such a wonderful thing; a truly erotic, romantic story that will touch your heart.

Endless Stretch of Blue

I was happy when this released to audiobook so I could finally read it. I was hesitant only because the subject matter seemed a little heavy. Of course it’s a Riley book so I had to listen and I’m so glad I did! I may have had a few tears but they were worth it. And of course the narrator did a fantastic job!
