Publisher's summary

Would you live a lie to hold onto the one you love?

Dean and Jason are best friends, like brothers since boyhood, now architecture students and college roommates. They've always had each other's back, but when one walks in on the other with another man, everything changes. How do you explain to your best friend that he's the one you've always wanted, that until now your life has been a lie?

Desperation and shame are two dirty words that run through Jason's veins. He carries the scars from a wayward priest who stole his innocence and left him shattered. Meanwhile for years he's watched Dean pursuing woman after woman, as his own heart slowly breaks.

When their world blows apart, they learn the powerful bond between them has more fire than either understood. Can two broken souls find the light in their darkness and come together to make a whole, or will sins of the past be forever unforgiven?

Hooked

Loved it! Loved it so much I stayed up hours past bedtime to finish it. Narration was good and drew me in. Loved the storyline. Love Dean and JJ. Great wrap up! I would love to watch the movie!

kinda dissapointed

First of: Im not that big of a fan of audibooks with 2 narrators and I blught this one course of Iggy Toma. Sadly this book was moostly read from Deans prespective so I didnt get as much Iggy I had hoped. Not that Eric London didnt do a good job, actually suprised me. I just dont like when you get used to one persons narration and someone els do the voices different.

Now for the book... Im not one to complain about a little agnst here and there, but in this its so maxed out of agnst and missunderstandings that I found myself getting a little angry when I listened. And Dean didnt make things better with what an asshole he was to Jason when he found out he was gay. He made it out that now his life was so out of order he didnt know what to do with himself, so he go all out on being an idiot!
It was still an interesting story, just wish it had been better. Also I was hoping for a complete m/m romance but there are some m/f that Dean insist is ok, but once Jason hook up Dean explode. =__= Sigh!

GRRRR!!!! But - It's a Keeper!

I was ready to kill Dean for over a Third of this book! But I also realized this is probably a realistic reaction for some people. Dean and Jason are an interesting and complicated dynamic. They were both really good people. I really liked Jason. It saddens me how people believe whatever the church says without any investigation or self-examination. How a parent could reject their child is beyond me. This was well worth listening to and I will listen to it again! Both narrators were good, pacing was pretty good. I am going to check into more of Ruth's writing!

I don’t know what to make of this book

Dean spent WAYYYY too much time being a completely selfish POS to his supposed best friend. He eventually came around but I was eye rolling the whole time.
The ending was acceptable.

What a beautiful live story

From beginning to end it’s a beautiful love story. After many incidents that could have broken them up they just got closer. Beautiful.

omg

this story was so amazing!!!
I listened from start to finish in 1 day!
for sure saved in my favorites

good

great book. had me crying at some parts of the book. but over all its one of my favorites.

Good!

Loved my first adventure with this author. The story was well paced, the characters had depth and growth from begining to end, a ND it took me on a journey. I can't wait to see what this author has in store for me next!

Pleasant surprise

I had this book on my TBR list for a long time. I finally listened and I’m so glad I did. I hated Dean through half the book, but then he turned it around. He was there for Jason when he needed him most. You won’t regret it if you spend a credit on this book, go for it.

intense, sexy and at times downright scary!

i would absolutely recommend this book to anyone that likes romance novels with substance. it reminded me of Felice Stevens "Through Hell and Back Series" which you will like if you enjoyed Unforgiven and vice versa. Chapter 50 was a nail biter and it nearly overwhelmed me emotionally.
