Skyler finally had it all...
...but for the third time, the state had taken everything away from him.
It wasn't his fault, though, or was it?
If only he hadn't been so stupid...
If only he hadn't been so careless...
If only he hadn't fallen in love with his best friend, Cameron.
Now, sitting in the social worker's SUV, he stared at his new house and the strangers standing on the front steps. His life had been an uphill climb, and now he had to start over.
Again.
One day, he might call them family, but he had finally learned his lesson.
This time, Skyler wouldn't be stupid.
This time, Skyler wouldn't be careless.
And no matter what, he definitely, absolutely, wouldn't fall in love with another cute boy.
Skyler Phoenix is the first book of the Love Grows in Honest Places series.
Get it now.

Good Listen

The narration was pretty good, but sometimes it wasn't clear if Skyler was just thinking something or actually saying the words out loud. Also, the "giggling" was a little weird.
I received a free copy of the audiobook through StoryOrigin and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

Representation: Gay
Skyler Phoenix is a gay romance about Skyler Phoenix, who is abandoned by his foster parents when they find out he is gay. Skyler doesn’t understand how they can promise to love everyone at church but choose to hate him because he’s different. Skyler’s social worker told him to keep his chin up, but that is hard when he doesn’t know if he’s headed for the streets or the orphanage on the other side of town.
Honestly, I’m a little ashamed to admit this but I always fall victim to the misconception that indie published books are of a lower quality than traditionally published. I am so happy to say this story proved me incredibly wrong! This is a great story from an unknown to me author who perfectly captures what it’s like to not be accepted by “family” because of your sexuality. He did such a great job with balancing religious trauma and romance, no easy feat! While I have no experience with the foster care system, I thought this was a great example of some of the horrors within. Overall, I just really enjoyed this story and I hope it becomes way more popular soon!

The narrator was a little annoying with his "festive" voice or the female voices. It sounded fake and over the top. Other than that he was okay.

I read this on my kindle a couple years ago and enjoyed it so much that I decided to try the audio book. I should have re read the kindle version. The narration is so over the top, especially the Tracy character, plus it drives me crazy when he bursts out laughing after reading “Skyler laughed”. Now I don’t think I will ever be able to read the book again without hearing the narrator in my head.
Good story, not so great narration

Then we get to the middle of the book when Sklyar meets his third foster family, the Kelleys. This was okay, if not a little too good to be true. I did immensely enjoy Dale and Liara. I love that their relationship is so open and the way they talk to CK and Skyler, and how supportive they are. It's from about the point in the story when Skylar starts going out with Kalin that things begin to fall apart for me. I do like Kalin, and they make a cute couple, but the story seemed to stumble here and made the last bit of the book feel like it lasted forever, and I ended up losing some interest in the characters. Some of the dialogue, especially once Skylar makes it to the Kelley household, is a bit much. Teenagers do not talk or even act in some of the ways described.
I did listen to this as an audiobook, and the narration was a bit much at times. It was hard to decipher between many of the male voices, which seemed very stereotypical surfer dudes. The female voices came out as overly Valley Girl in most cases. Giggles were also a little weird.
Overall, I did enjoy this book and took many great moments from it.
Overall, a good story
