About this listen
Mark Jennings is at a crossroads. His finance job in the Atlanta nonprofit scene stresses him out, his mother is dying, and his relationship with Brian Jacobs has crashed and burned. He needs a distraction, some way to relax, and a massage seems like just the thing. He never expected his massage therapist, Antonio Roberto, to become his best friend.
Despite their differences - Antonio is a divorced single father-the two men forge a firm friendship that weathers Mark's reconciliation with Brian and Antonio's questionable taste in women. Over the years, Antonio remains constant in his support, though others in Mark's life come and go through a revolving door.
When a young boy runs away from the group home where he works, Mark finds another door opening. Through it all he holds on to the things his loved ones taught him-about family, about friends and lovers, about life and death. Most importantly, he realizes that sometimes the greatest gift of all is a second chance.

A beautiful epic romance!
Mark Jennings is highly stressed, he’s left his cheating boyfriend, Brian, his mother is dying, and his job is always busy. He seeks out regular massage therapy from Antonio Roberto and so begins a long-term supportive friendship between a gay man and a straight man. This is an epic love story that takes place over years. It’s told in vignettes, skipping in time to each important event. Often the vignette starts in the middle of the event and the background is filled in after a while. The jumps can seem abrupt and at first I felt at sea, but I quickly got used to this writing style and came to really enjoy it. There are plenty of wonderful subplots that add to the rich story: Antonio and his son, Mark’s family, Mark and Brian, job changes, and deaths. I was attracted to the story by the setup but stayed for the characters and the absorbing plot. 🎧 Audio narrator John Solo is a firm favourite, but this was released in 2014 and John was not at the height of his powers then - his performance is fine, but less smooth and natural than now.
