About this listen

I’m done hiding who I am.

Pretending to be straight, to be the loving, devoted husband and successful ER doctor everyone wanted me to be, has been exhausting.

I numbed the pain any way I could, and in the end, it cost me everything. My job, my marriage, the relationship with my grown kids.

But now I’m in recovery, and for the first time, I’m living my true life as an out gay man.

I need to get my act together, to get healthy again. Benoni is my new personal trainer...20 years my junior. He makes my mouth water and certain other body parts react. Oh, and he’s also my son’s best friend.

I’m 47 years old. It’s time for a clean start. But where does Benoni fit in?

Clean Start at Forty-Seven is part one of a duology, an emotional MM romance with an age gap, first-time gay, loads of hurt/comfort, and the beginnings of a beautiful Daddy/boy relationship. It contains themes of opioid addiction and religious homophobia. Please check the trigger warnings at the beginning of the book.

The slowburn

I just loved the slowburn, so well written and understanding for Kinsey who is in recovery and basically lost his former live . Benoni is such a Daddy in everything he does. I am looking forward to the second book.
John gave the book a smexy layer through his narration.

Wow

I had the distinct pleasure of reading the ARC version of this book and I thought nothing would be better but WOW was I wrong.

This audible is now my absolute favourite I had to stop what I was doing twice and just cry, it was so moving. I can't wait for the second part box of tissues at the ready.

A surprise!

First of all, I love John Solo as a narrator. Possibly one of the best in the genre, so I knew this would be a great listen (and I was right!)

I obviously didn’t read the description very well, as this story is actually across two books which I didn’t realise until I was suddenly at the end credits - oops. So I did listen initially, feeling this was the slowest of slow burns, but it was amazing anyway. Phoenix covers some of the issues in this book (addiction, religious homophobia) with real taste - it was very well done. Kinsey and Benoni are both beautiful characters, don’t think I could pick which I preferred. Looking forward now (that I know) to the next book and to see how their beautiful relationship continues to develop to complement each other even further.

Slow burn but emotional first book

Religious trauma and drug addiction are not simple topics to handle, and get it to a hfn/hea without making clichés must have been a challenge. Nora made it in the most perfect way.
I loved the books (I’ve also listened to the second when I write this).
In this book we get to know both main characters from their younger years and what made them who they are today. How they meet and slow and gentle fall for eachother.
The book is a HFN, and you don’t want to miss the second one.

And John is the king of emotions, fits perfectly for this book.
