Update, I just reread this one with the audio. Narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Dane Anderson.

This book hit me hard the first time, but this time... I cried so much! These men performed this with their whole chest. Isaac and Jensen are an amazing love story. I hope everyone gives this romance a chance.

This was powerful and beautiful. I knew I was gonna fall so hard for Isaac and I was pleasantly surprised by Jensen. I loved how Sara Cate took two characters that are in such odd circumstances and brought them together.

This book handles some heavy topics but it handled them with care and I felt hopeful and pleased at the end. These two deserved an HEA so badly and though it wasn't easy, their romance feels true.

4.5 Stars
3.5 on the spice scale

CW: Self harm, homophobia, religious trauma, and more, see author's note.

*thank you to Sara Cate for an ARC of this title.*
