Publisher's summary

I was living in darkness. Cold and alone, I was gripped by the agony of loss and grieving for an existence I no longer believed I could have. Then he appeared in my life and I thought that maybe, just maybe, I’d been gifted with another chance at happiness. That I might be allowed the privilege of loving and caring for another man.

That I could have my very own boy....

A new beginning is more than Malcolm ever dared wish for.

Now that Malcolm has claimed Seth as his boy, he’s determined to be the perfect Daddy for the man he adores. Whatever his boy needs, he’ll make sure he gets it. But more than that, he’s sworn in his heart to protect him with his life. Seth’s bastard of a father and the twisted church that abused his boy had better stay away from them — or else.

Seth has discovered comfort and safety in his Daddy’s arms.

Finally, Seth accepts that a life filled with joy is possible. He believes that love is what matters more than anything and that he has nothing to be ashamed of. However, the demons of his past still taunt him, lurking in the shadows of his mind where they try and snatch away his happiness. Sometimes it seems as if his lingering fears will never be vanquished.

And sometimes, being afraid is a warning that should be heeded....

Note: For the Love of a Boy is the continuation of Malcolm and Seth's journey of love, redemption and healing in the Father series trilogy. The first book, In the Name of the Father, should be read prior to this one. However, you can be assured that none of the books in the Father series end on a cliffhanger and that this age gap, Daddy/boy series with lots of hurt/comfort contains a sweet forever after.

Father Series listening order:

Morticia Knight AWESOME series continues!

Oh, my goodness gracious! Morticia Knight keeps up the very fine work she initiated with 'In the Name of the Father, Book 1' of the Father series. We find that Malcolm (daddy) and Seth (boy) have solidified their relationship, each filling a need for the other that is so beautifully depicted and described in the books. Seth is still recovering from the severe abuse he suffered as a child in one of the worse churches I've ever read about in fiction, and that's saying something! (The LGBTQ+ community has suffered terribly from the attitudes, opinions, and doctrines of the church. And the toxicity has found its outlet in literature!) Malcolm's commitment to keeping Seth safe and happy after all he's endured is wonderfully endearing. But an old evil finds its way back into Seth's new world and, thank goodness, that terror is beautifully and triumphantly resolved. Nick J. Russo's performance as perfect as ever. He handles the story with such tenderness and sensitivity. What a joy to hear him read book 2 of this series as well.

More Healing

Seth and Malcolm's relationship is blooming beautifully. While Seth still has his inner demons he is fighting, he has Malcolm there to help him. We get to see Seth start to move forward when more discussion is brought up about bring the church and this father down. Nick, once again does a fantastic job telling their story. How he is able to bring such vulnerability to Seth's voice is amazing.

Great continuation

I am really loving this continuing series, it's perfectly satisfying my need to know what happens next. I also love the slow build up of the relationship and that everything is not instantly perfect. The narration is ok, there were times it got a little odd I'm not even sure what my feelings are on it but not the best work of Russo for me.

The progression of life

This is a continuation of book one. We get to see the characters deal with the progression of life and the challenges that it brings with it.
Seth with the after effects of his past that will never completely leave him and Malcolm with his sorrow as well that he will have to slowly move away from.

I loved seeing these two form a deeper bond as they navigate their relationship and find what works for them.

The narrarion was done perfectly. Each emotion was articulated so well it was as if you were experiencing it with the characters. An enjoyable listen for sure. I'm eager for the third book to complete this series.

You are my devotion


It always break my heart when I hear or read about these conversion camp horror stories. I really can’t fathom how parents could do that to their children. That being said, I am really glad to have listened this book.

Seth and Malcom continued their journey to love and living life to the fullest in this story. Seth is trying his best to become a human wholly and and Malcom has devoted himself to his previous boy and help him overcome his traumas.

This was fun, heartwarming, sexy and very enjoyable. Could be a bit angsty at times but all that bittersweet angst was worth it. NJR did an absolutely fabulous job of narrating this beautiful story. Loved it.

Great Continuation of Their Story

I enjoyed this continuation of Seth and Malcolm's story. The narration was great, and I was happy to see that it was the same narrator. Malcolm and Seth are perfect for each other. Both of them are helping each other heal in different ways in a way only they can. I can't wait to listen to the final book of their story.

Malcolm & Seth

This is the continuation of the first book and we get to see how both Malcolm and Seth are coming along in their relationship. Malcolm is truly a wonderful Daddy for Seth. He's very patient, understanding, loving, and protective, just what he needs. I really like seeing how much Seth is opening up and settling in with Malcolm. Seth is really coming into his own and finally starting to heal. I can't wait for the next one to come out in audio. The narrator is spectacular with these characters and with the overall tone of the story. I voluntarily reviewed a gifted copy of this audio book.
