Isobel Starling
French male model Simeon Duchamp has a lot of explaining to do.
Two years after a breakdown Simeon is off drugs and booze and wants to stay that way.
On his road to reclaiming his life and modeling career, Sim first needs to apologize to the man he hurt the most—his ex-best friend and object of his unrequited affection, Pieter Bayer. Pieter now has a long-term partner, artist Emily Raven, with whom he shares a baby son. Sim is amazed when Pieter accepts his apology, and invites him into his family.
Closeness to Pieter sees Simeon's longing for his friend is rekindled. But then, when Simeon meets an attractive older man, Bastian Roth at an Art Exhibition, he realizes that there is a soul more broken than his, and Simeon feels compelled to help. Simeon's connection with the troubled Bastian Roth turns his world upside down. He has to decide whether to allow himself to fall for the man who wants him or pine for the man he can never have.

Loved the German and French accents, and the foreign sentences, and he's capable of portraying both Bast and Sim in a lovely way!
The book is fascinating, although I would have liked to smack Bast a time or two, or three.
Great narration!

The audiobook is narrated by Gary Furlong. He does a great job giving each character their own voice and making their personality shone through that voice. Clean recording and easy to listen to.

Dub/con/sexual assault
I put the warning there because I feel that this should have been a part of the blurb for the book.
I thought this was a beautiful story. One broken man, trying to get his life back together after mistakes from the past; one broken because of a broken heart.
After Simeon goes through treatment for his problems, he reunites with his one "true love" who is completely devoted to his new family. In comes Bastian, the beautiful stranger. After a night gone terrifyingly wrong, one thinks all hope is lost. However, due to circumstances and changing thought processes, our two MCs find their way back into each other's lives.
I absolutely loved the way Starling chose to have Simeon help Bastian find his way back from his self shame. The dynamics between the MCs are a mix of volatile and sizzling. The slow burn build up made the romance seem more legitimate, although it speeds up rather quickly after a short time.
When the past comes haunting, we see both characters relapse, which is shattering. But after they both hit, not rock bottom, but dangerous lows, they find a way to get back to themselves.
I do have to say that I adored Emily. Her sensuality and personality added to the story for me. I thought she was a wonderful secondary character; I actually enjoyed her more than Peter, which I found amusing.
I absolutely adore Gary Furlong's performance. He really brings the characters to life. He is wonderful to listen to when foreign languages are involved. Just beautiful.
Happy listening!

A surprising new book

Now about the story:
WHAT I DID LIKE is the way the story unfolded, with twists and surprises along the way, like Isobel does best. Their relationship was sweet and touching, even with its rocky violent start. I loved how they both had something the other needed, they complimented each other almost Yin and Yang like. This book revolves around healing and understanding past mistakes, and I felt it was incorporated into the story very well most of the time. I like that they talked about things and did not just rush in and deal with the fallout. I feel like she managed to create a wide range of relationships between many different characters and it made the book rich and beautifully layered.
This was a good book to me mostly because of its potential, and I wish it was more consistent. while reading it (before I listened to the audio) I had some issues with the book and at times it confused me. Some parts were delicately handled and the characters rich with depth and uniqueness and others were almost soap opera shallow. I have to say I did not like the beginning, where some parts were overly detailed and repetitive and others flew by and appeared under developed. I am glad I pushed through and finished it but there were still parts I felt did not balance well. I was surprised by that because as I said I loved her books, and her writing style is usually more cohesive and consistent.
Surprising sweetness and unexpected turns

The narration by Gary Furlong was exceptional. He is one of my favorite narrators. He does such a great job giving distinct voices to each character and he is always spot on with expressing the characters’ emotions.
