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.

Coming out!

Fabulous story of a man coming out at 47yrs of age. Narration was excellent. Nora knows how to tell her stories. Can't wait to listen to book 2.

A good start

I put off reading this for a long time before it is a two part story. I don't always like those, means more credits and more time. Maybe more waffling. This one has so much in it that it is hard to imagine how it could have been told in one book.

While the book is about two characters, Kinsey and Benoni, it does seem to be more about Kinsey and him coming to terms with who he really is. There are so many lessons to be learned in this, one being how evil religion can be to many people just because they want to express themselves in a different way, or their sexuality doesn't fit in with what that organisation thinks.

It was a great start and I will finish my review with the second book.
