About this listen
Gray Andino is a Denver cop with a pain kink and a history of falling in love with the wrong people. He’s jealous of his friends’ newfound happiness, but with a brain that won’t shut up and a need to argue everything, finding his own soul mate seems impossible, so he settles for meaningless sex and doling out pain with willing subs.
Subs like Avery Barron.
When Avery asks to stay with Gray for a few weeks, Gray reluctantly agrees. Avery may be the perfect sub, but as an accidental roommate, he sucks. The younger child of rich, indulgent parents, Avery is an entitled slob with a disdain for rules, a lack of ambition, and an obsession with social media. Gray tolerates his presence, but when Avery breaks one of Gray’s ground rules, he punishes him and takes away his phone.
Deprived of his usual echo chamber, Avery feels lost until he discovers a local Tap House, a piano, and his buried love of music. The more Avery plays, the more the community around him blossoms. For the first time in his life, Avery has a purpose and goals for the future. But the thing he longs for most - Gray’s love and respect - may be forever out of reach.

I could appreciate this but didn’t love it!
Gray Andino is the most handsome of the Heretic Doms. He’s a good cop but he lives on the edge. Avery Barron is a spoiled rich kid, kicked out by his parents. With nowhere to live, Gray’s mother asks Gray to give Avery a place to stay until things settle. Avery has burnt every bridge, he’s exhausted everyone’s goodwill, and he’s a royal pain in the butt to Gray. Avery is a rabid keyboard warrior, he and his friends attack each celebrity faux pas and misstep, casting judgement and dispensing justice from the safety of their devices. Can Gray get through to the self-absorbed Avery or will he also kick him to the curb? Cue the flogging! So … like the rest of this series, this repentance romance had some great plot lines / characters and sizzling sex scenes, and covered some uncomfortably confronting but thoughtful issues. Marie Sexton bravely tackles the divide between the left and right sides of politics and she makes an impassioned plea to just listen and treat each other with respect - fair enough. Unfortunately, she doesn’t spare the rod with us, in fact, she beats us over the head with it: there’s a lot of repetitive politics and lecturing from the characters and the plot grinds to a halt each time this occurs. It’s a worthwhile topic but less would definitely have been more than enough. Audio narrator John Solo made it bearable - he’s THAT good.
