Publisher's Summary

Leaving his enormous family behind, native New Yorker, Elijah, decides to move to Brighton Pier for a fresh start. Just when he thinks his new life is going perfectly, he finds out his burgeoning relationship is nothing more than a friends-with-benefits arrangement to the man he was swiftly falling for.

Jake has worked hard for the life he's made for himself in Brighton Pier. Running his own business and spending time with his family and friends is enough for him, or so he's convinced himself. Though he's met a man he cares for, he's adamant about keeping his single life as is. He just hopes their friends-with-benefits arrangement will be enough to keep Eli in his life.

When tragedy strikes, and Jake's world is turned upside down, his instincts lead him to lean on the one person who's become someone special, despite his best efforts to try and push him away. Eli-unable to turn Jake away when a loss so great takes the strong man to his knees-steps selflessly into the void in Jake's life, regardless of the toll it takes on him. As both men struggle to deal with their own emotional turmoil, their lives veering off course, they grow inevitably closer as the days pass. Can two people, drawn together by tragedy, turn a devastating situation into a fresh start? Or is it too late for a new beginning?

Contains mature themes.

Great story

A great heartwarming story. Even got a bit teary-eyed a couple of times. Can't wait to listen to the next one.

Love the Taylor’s

Great start to the spin off series, and a heartwarming and beautiful HEA after such sadness and loss. Still feel like there’s something missing with this author’s books with respect to depth in the story line but the characters do go on a thorough LOVE journey.
This wasn’t one of Kirt’s better narrations but not bad. I am keen for the next instalments, for Zach to be proven wrong and Avery to be sent crazy.

Totally loved everything about this!

Jonah’s brother, Elijah Taylor, loves his job as a tattooist but he’s sleeping with the boss who never wants to commit to a relationship and Eli is beginning to want more. Maybe it’s time to call it quits. Jake likes sleeping with Eli but he can’t bring himself to say how he really feels about Eli. Suddenly tragedy strikes and Jake find himself raising his brother’s two boys but dare he ask Eli for help?

This angsty family romance had three big juicy themes: Jake’s fear of commitment, Jake’s parents’ homophobia and hatred, and Jake and Eli’s struggles as new parents. Jaclyn Quinn does a superb job of exploring each of these issues without it being depressing - she has a way of contrasting the sadness with genuine moments of humour and tenderness that work perfectly together. US voice artist extraordinaire Kirt Graves channels the pain and the love so well here! (Currently free on the Audible Plus catalogue)

Great story about loss, grief and finding love

Great story about loss, grief and finding love told with empathy and charm by Kirt Graves.
Jaclyn Quinn creates complex worlds and populates them with a loveable (and some unloveable) cast of characters. The two boys in this story are beautifully portrayed with truth and humour. Jake and Elijah are circling each other throughout and their story his all of the right notes.
Jaclyn Quinn's worlds always involve found families and present a positive model of what should always be.
Looking forward to the next one.
