About this listen
Silas
My home is my sanctuary. Or is it my prison? Some days it's hard to tell.
I've confined myself behind these walls for protection. I have my reasons, but that doesn't change the profound loneliness I've discovered in the process.
Then one day I find myself drifting toward the window to see him. Corey Marshall, my new neighbor. Quiet, reserved, and cute as can be. He infects my thoughts, becomes the image I fantasize about.
I want to taste his lips, smell his scent...feel what it's like to be inside him.
And soon, watching becomes exchanging gifts and messages, which becomes so much more.
It's wrong to want this as badly as I do, but I can't help myself. I crave him so desperately. It's hard to tell if what we're doing is going to make me lose my mind or change my entire world, but it's too late to turn back now....
Corey
I've never been quite right. Too high or too low. Pain is my constant companion...at the hands of my abusive ex, and often from myself. The sweet relief is only temporary, but in those moments, it's like I can finally breathe.
Then I meet him. Silas Rizner calms the chaotic storms inside me. He makes me feel loved, treasured, even when I don't deserve it. I cherish the moments we share - cooking, cuddling, and when Silas reads to me until I fall asleep. When he's inside me, it's the only time in my life I've ever felt complete.
Silas becomes the glue that holds me together, that bandages my scars. Inside the walls of his home, we're almost safe, but our demons are always there, waiting to break free.
We're a mess. We're broken, chaotic, beautiful; we're in love.
But not even love can slay our monsters. No, only we can do that.
Unless our monsters destroy us first.
TRIGGERS: Self-harm, depression, anxiety, mentions of past domestic violence.

Eye opener
Listening to Michael Paisley introduction was interesting and appreciate him explaining about the story. When I first started listening to it, it became clear why he’d hard done so. As the book went on I cam to a point that I nearly stopped, but continued and thought the book was well written and of course love Michael Pauley’s narration well done

Heartbreakingly beautiful
Gorgeous story but VERY heavy. I didn’t find it as triggering as others seem to have but I’ve read a lot of heavy, dark stuff. Heed the trigger warnings at the beginning if you’re sensitive to DV, SA, (both off-page) bipolar or agoraphobia. The authors have handled all of these issues with the utmost respect throughout the course of the story.
Silas and Corey have independently experienced horrific assaults, which have shaped their present lives. Corey moves in next door to Silas and learns of his agoraphobia and the reasons for it, whilst he’s also dealing with the aftermath of an abusive relationship and pre-existing bipolar. The two men slowly fall in love through a series of gifts, notes left in windows, calls and eventual visits.
Despite the heavy material this is actually a very tender, beautiful, moving love story. Highly recommend.
