My Review:
Overall: 4.5
Performance: 4.75
Story: 4.5

Wow, what an amazing and creative debut novel. Huge kudos to Davidson King for knocking this one out of the ballpark. This book was incredible.

Snow lives on the streets. Everyone calls him Snow because of his pale-white complexion and hair. He comes upon a group of guys picking on a kid and steps in, offering whatever to get the guys to leave the kid alone. That kid just happens to be the nephew of one of the most notorious mob bosses around, Christopher. As a result, Snow is taken into Christopher's household.

I loved Snow. He's this great mix of streetwise, but maintains an incredible heart. He's kept his level of compassion and empathy even though he's had a hard, awful life the last few years, but isn't so naive as to ever wonder or doubt just how ruthless Christopher can be. Bravo to the author for maintaining that balance with both Christopher and Snow...without taking it too far in one direction or the other which could have really ruined the story.

The story was fantastic. While I wouldn't classify it as romantic suspense, it came darn close. There's always a threat hanging over Snow because the guy who had Christopher's nephew is pure evil and cannot sit by and let Snow go without paying.

Also, I really like this one in audio. There are two narrators which I tend not to like in m/m because their voices sound too different when they are reading the other character, but this one flowed perfectly. I loved these two narrators together.

All in all, I can definitely recommend this one. Now, I need to go read the other two books in the series, but the debate will be...read them now, or wait and hope they come out in audio.

awesome stories.

loved it, superb writing and characters. I highly recommend this audiobook you won't regret it.

Excellent story that should have only been read by Joel

As always Leslie’s incomparable narration sucked me in right off the bat, but unfortunately Alces narration was awkward and jarring. He tended to not breathe properly so he’d rush through sentences running out of breath and it constantly took me out of the story. I haven’t listened to anything else he’s narrated, but this book wasn’t for him.

Rescue Repeat

Saving the kid from thugs was the beginning for Snow and he would risk everything again to save little Simon. Finding out Simon's guardian, Christopher, is the head of an infamous crime family and extremely handsome just figures. How many times will Chris have to save Snow before they can appreciate each other's gifts? Excellent start to a thrilling series.

Snow rising

The story is great enjoyed every minute. The performance was outstanding. Can’t wait to listen to the next book
