The narrator read this book more like a children's book than an adult M/M romance and I actually cringed at the sex scenes. The narrator has that ever so slightly wobble to his voice and kind of a formal accent that gives his voice an elderly feel. I finally guessed his age to be around 65, though I never got confirmation. I even attempted to look him up online mid-book to see what I could find out about him. I kept trying to place the age of the narrator of this book as he was reading.

A few narrators have made books that might have been mediocre into absolutely fabulous reads. This can be hit or miss, and I have really visceral reactions to some narrators. When you read a book yourself, you have your own idea of how the character sounds, but when you have an audiobook, the will of the narrator is forced upon you. **2.5 stars** Audiobooks are extremely subjective. But Patrick's silence leaves Ken wondering what Patrick wants. Ken's heart is set on a new beginning - with both Patrick and Hanna. Ken doesn't realize he's fallen in love until the doctors send Hanna home, saying there's nothing more they can do: Hanna will either recover or succumb. But over the past months, he's watched as his neighbor nursed his sick child, and once he meets Ken, Patrick starts to crave a life with him-a life he isn't sure he can have. An injury robbed him of his voice, and the idea of introducing himself to new people intimidates him. Maybe the mysterious care packages that appear for Hanna don't qualify, but they bring a spark of hope into his and Hanna's tired life - and so does Ken's neighbor, former singer Patrick Flaherty.įor two years Patrick hasn't been able to focus on anything but the life he should have had. But ever since Ken Brighton's partner left him, Ken has spent his days at the hospital with his daughter, Hanna, hoping for a miracle. Doing it alone is overwhelming - especially when that loved one is a child. Caring for a loved one with cancer is tough.
