Summary

One heartbroken, lonely man
Another man struggling to find his life again

Ryan Matson dreams of a new life, one with a future where drugs aren’t in control. But lying to himself isn’t helping him achieve that goal. Neither is pretending he’s sober, especially not with Logan Silver, his one-night stand and longtime crush. When Ryan's world implodes and all his hopes for a fresh start vanish, he heads down a familiar, self-destructive path, doing what he does best: running and hiding. Only this time, he’s got Logan Silver searching for him.

And Logan won’t stop until he finds him.

Logan Silver is the man who has everything and yet nothing at all. After losing his brother to drugs years ago, Logan is heartbroken, unable to regain his footing or open himself to others. Except to Ryan, the only one to break through the pain that haunts him each day. He is driven by a need to protect Ryan, to give him all he can—a home, a chance at a fresh start…everything, no strings attached. Then Ryan disappears, taking Logan’s trust with him. And when he returns, insisting on keeping his distance, Logan feels like he’s been used. And nobody uses Logan.

Logan and Ryan are unable to deny their attraction, but this time has to be different: no more lying to themselves and each other. Logan must let go of his heartbreak and fear to support Ryan as he discovers his own way. Because Ryan doesn’t need a savior. He needs to own his truth, believe in himself, and accept that he deserves to be happy. Only then can the two have a future together—one built on a foundation of love and trust—that won’t vanish like clouds in thin air.

From Lambda Literary Award winning author Felice Stevens comes an emotional MM romance full of heartbreak, hope and ultimately love. It's filled with angst, true friendship, and swoony, steamy moments plus an epic happily ever after.

Be advised there is discussion of substance abuse and mental health issues.

Angsty!

4.5 Stars

This book ties in with Felice Stevens' Through Hell and Back series and In A New York Minute and features several of the characters we met there, so while it can be read as a standalone, keep that in mind. Also, this book involves drug use, so if that's a trigger for you, proceed with caution.

This wasn't an easy book to read, as I stated it deals with Ryan using drugs and alcohol to cope with his parents throwing him out when he was 16. This is his redemption story and also a second chance romance which builds up slowly as Logan (a man Ryan hooked up with before) steps in to help Ryan when he finds him working as a janitor at a hotel and offers him a place to stay in. Ryan keeps finding excuses to indulge until he finally hits rock bottom after finding out he'll never be able to practice law again and leaves Logan's apartment. Logan moves heaven and earth to find Ryan, and when he finally finds Ryan, they start over, becoming friends while Ryan rebuilds his life.

I really liked the slow pace in which they rebuilt their relationship, both of them realizing that Logan was approaching the whole matter wrong and Ryan had sort of been using Logan. They had great chemistry, but above all, the support and love that Logan gave Ryan, gave him the confidence to turn his life around.

I loved the cameos from other characters, especially Ash and Esther, both of whom I adore to bits. I also really liked Emerson, Ryan's friend, and was glad he got his HEA in the end.

I loved Kale Williams's narration, He did an outstanding job bringing Ryan and Logan to life and showcasing every emotion they had to deal with throughout the book.

Overall, a heavier, angstier read from Felice Stevens that I really enjoyed and have no trouble recommending.

A very touching story.

I enjoyed listening to this book. The story tackled a difficult subject matter and handled it well. There were times that I wondered how it could ever get to an HEA but it happened in the best way. I always enjoy listening to Kale Williams and this audiobook was no exception.
