Falling Embers

Men of Fairlake

By: Romeo Alexander

Narrated by: Michael Dean

One freak accident is all it takes to rip open the closet doors and threaten the peace I’ve fought my entire life to gain.

Isaiah Bently is everything I’m not. Rich and charismatic, with a smoking-hot body earned through years of hauling people out of burning buildings, he’s the kind of guy everyone either wants to be or wants to be with.

So imagine my surprise when an on-the-job injury forces us together, and I’m faced with the realization that what Isaiah wants...is me.

His sweet, playful touches reawaken a part of me I’ve spent my entire life trying to deny, and it isn’t long before the simmering attraction between us turns explosive. Behind closed doors, I give him everything he asks of me and more.

But secrets like ours never stay hidden for long. And when my lifelong tormenter discovers I’ve fallen hard for another man, I’m faced with an impossible choice. Bring my relationship with Isaiah out into the open, and risk losing everyone I’ve ever cared about....

Or turn my back on the only person to love me, all of me, exactly as I am

Great

I enjoyed this story. The characters are interesting and I enjoyed the way there storyline plays out. I think it was a interesting and engaging experience. The narration was perfect.

All the feels

This is the first time I’m writing a review, which surprises me because I’ve listened to several books by Romeo Alexander so far and I haven’t found a single one that I didn’t absolutely love. They’ve made me laugh, cry, smile and want to hear more! I can’t decide which one I’ve liked best so far. ❤️

Love this series

love this series, each book gets better and better. excellent character and relationship development. perfect narration.

Isaiah and Julian

Omg the cute-ness! Isaiah helps Julian heal both physically and emotionally. Also this book is H-O-T! Being with Julian in his head while he battles internal homophobia, and feeling seen and not judged by Isaiah! This is my favorite book in this series so far. But I also said that about the last one too lol. Obsessed with this small town!.

Well done grump/sunshine story

I really enjoyed the story of Isaiah and Julian. It’s very much a grumpy/sunshine story. Both characters have their personal struggles. Julian really struggles with accepting his sexuality. Isaiah was a favorite. Despite his past struggles (which still bother him) he takes it and forges his life on his terms.

The narrator, Michael Dean did an excellent job giving Isaiah and Julian their own distinct personalities. Typically audiobooks aren’t my thing. The narrator has to really capture different characters voice and tone to bring the character to life. Michael nailed it.

Overall a great story that I’d recommend to others.
