How long would you wait for love?

Max Kaufman was kicked out of his home as a teen, and his life has been an uphill battle ever since. From addiction and living on the streets, to recovery and putting himself through nursing school, he’s spent the last 10 years rebuilding his shattered sense of self. Now he’s taken a job as a private caretaker to Edward Marsh III, the president and CEO of one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. Max soon learns Marsh’s multibillion-dollar empire is a gold- and diamond-encrusted web of secrets and lies.

The longer Max works and lives with the Marsh family, the tighter the secrets tangle around him. And his heart - which he’s worked so hard to protect - falls straight into the hands of the distant, cold, and beautiful son of a dynasty....

Silas Marsh is set to inherit the family fortune, but his father is determined his heir be the “perfect” son. Before Silas can take over the company and end its shady business practices, he must prove himself worthy...and deny his true nature.

Silas must choose: stand up to his father by being true to himself and his undeniable feelings for Max or pretend to be someone he is not in order to inherit everything. Even if it means sacrificing a chance at happiness and real love.

Best of the best

Greg Tremblay and Zachary Johnson deliver everything to this already outstanding story. Emma Scott has terrific writing chops to blend great primary and secondary characters, despair, love, angst, and pain. Every emotion has you praying Silas and Max can find their way through hell to one another. Dastardly father and sweet tormented brother with emotional/psychological issues. This is the second book I’ve listened to with narrator Zachary Johnson. He’s excellent. I hope we get more MM from him. Highly recommended.

More Than a Simple Book

The major plot line of this book is obviously patterned on the Purdue Pharma OxiContin scandal. The major difference is in the book the owners of the company ultimately took responsibility for their company’s actions and made financial restitution for the aggressive marketing to their victims. In real life the extended family that owned Purdue Pharma forestalled legal action so they sold out their shares leaving the company’s corpse/assets and new owners to be consumed by bankruptcy judgements by the victim’s claims. In selecting the above plot line the author, Emma Scott, allows us to see the injustice between her fictional just solution and real life legal but morally unjust solution. She also provides a great background to set the love story of our two protagonists, Max and Silas. She also explores the horrors of addiction (Alcoholics’ Anomalous and Narcotics Anomalous) and PTSD gay deprogramming trauma. The audiobook is more then capably narrated by the team of Greg Tremblay and Zachary Johnson. The upshot is a great book that satisfies both on an emotional and intellectual level as well as the aesthetically pleasing narration.

More than what I expected

This is not a typical gay love story. Some of the portrayed events in this book hit too close to home (sadly), but it brings you to tears, laughter, and heartwarming love. Should be everyone’s must read no matter what your viewpoint may be as it demonstrates true compassion, respect and apathy to do the right things in life.

All the love

I loved this story when it first came out in print and nothing has changed in Audible. An emotional story with amazing characters.

I’m a HUGE Greg Tremblay fan. His narration was perfection as always.

This was my first listen to Zachary Johnson and I’m a bit on the fence. I didn’t hate it but I didn’t love it. It did not deter me from the story though. His voice is just a lot deeper than what I normally prefer.

My new favorite author!

This is my 4th book by Emma Scott and I’ve not been disappointed! Beautiful stories with depth and complexity. I love the brother’s role in this one!

Someday… a prince will come

Ms. Scott, truly a Bach or a Beethoven, with her baton in a marvelous way being the writers pen. I look forward to her next adventure.

Daddy issues + self reflection

This book.. Is so sad. It's so sad!
Conversion therapy is so sad! I would re-listen to this for sure, but it's a hard one to listen to... And to think this type of thing happens CURRENTLY is mind boggling too, which is probably why I'm more emotional about it than I would be. Also, not a real spoiler but my dad & I had a decent relationship growing up, except we never talked about me being gay, and this book... Oh... It's a lot of emotions if you don't have a good one with yours either.

Narrator for Max had a clear and warm voice, but Silas' voice recordings were a little bit noisy/staticky, which pulled me out of the story sometimes, probably a quality issue more than anything.

The anger in both the MCs fuels their own personal relationships with their families, but it doesn't get in the way of each other (not too much anyway). It has a HEA ending that felt just right, and an epilogue that neatly tied the knot into a perfect bow without being rushed. It was just enough.

Best Romance Novel I’ve Listened To

A true story, realistic, and emotional. Not too much gratuitous sex, but enough. Great themes and authentic human interaction. I highly recommend this book.

Emotional Circle of Love

it's hard to believe that parents/ people can put the ones they love through sh!t like this. I just wanted to take them both and smother them with love ❤️

Great read, fantastic narration with all the feels. HEA couldn't be more deserved for Max and Si...

I mean those 5 stars!

The book is excellent all by itself. However, Greg Tremblay & Zachary Johnson’s narration shot it to the stars. Excellent. Excellent. Excellent.
