About this listen

The Fischers are the only family Brennan has ever known, and when they adopt him, he has no plans on doing anything to jeopardize that. Even if it means pretending Josh Daly doesn't make his heart pound every time their eyes meet.

The tension eases once Josh heads off to a Christian university on a baseball scholarship. Brennan stays put in Elm Grove to work at his family's drive-in movie theater and take classes at the local community college.

But when Josh comes home for summer break, the feeling not only returns, it transforms into a loud and commanding drumbeat he struggles to tune out.

Finally admitting who he is feels overwhelming. There's a reason Brennan remains a virgin and when he realizes Josh might be one too, the chemistry between them becomes impossible to ignore. Except acting on his attraction throws everything Josh has been raised to believe out the window.

Plagued by fear and self-doubt, they finally surrender, placing their trust in each other and their undeniable connection. But facing the world together takes the sort of faith that will either strengthen their bond...or shatter its very foundation.

Contains mature themes.

Sweet Young Love 💜

It’s a summer romance years in the making. Josh and Brennan live in a small town and had known each other since they were kids. Their family background is so different from each other. Their story, their friendship, their journey to self discovery and making each other be their own safe haven.. it’s beautiful.
It’s young love, it’s innocent but also pure and fierce.

Such a well-written coming of age summer romance. Iggy Toma’s narration was awesome. The bonus scene was a great treat. 💜

Started slow...but hang on, it's worth it!

This book reminds me that sometimes love does come softly. I enjoy Christina Lee's work in general and when I read the blurb for "A Breath Apart" I added it to my library with haste. It sat for months tho, until I needed a refreshment from all the mafia romances I had been indulging on for a while. I was worried at first, although Josh and Brennan are charming to get to know...their story drags a bit; seemingly filled up with day-to-day interactions with family and friends, etc and religious angst - which did help in the small town environment building - but in this case it seemed to slow things down. I think this was a book that should have been told in duel 1st person POV instead of 3rd person for 1 character and in diary form for the other. I think this created a slight disconnect but not overwhelmingly so. Every now and again I am all for slow burns...but really? It isn't until after chapter 13 that things kinda start to heat up. Anywho, I stayed the course because I felt like there was something around the corner...and it was! Josh and Brennan ended up being one of the most innocently beautiful couples I've come across in a long time...but don't let the innocence fool you, there was a bit of 🔥. Iggy Toma is a very talented performer; he really brings the characters to life.

4 stars - worthy of a repeat listen

Oof…

Not gonna lie at first it was a bit slow for me, but the story itself really keeps you engaged. It’s a sweet romance, that hits you right in the heart, a sweet hea that shows love can conquer the crappiest societal values.

Iggy for the win!

I loved this book so completely... Except, I think the bonus scene ruined it. (I know most people want details, but having this scene tacked on at the end was a mistake. It would have been better to have the scene part of the original flow). Besides that, this book is perfect in every way. A really sweet, but profound story. Good, well developed characters, interesting side players and Iggy Toma outdid himself with the narration. So, so good! Highly recommend. ❤️❤️

Beautiful!

I loved this BL romance so much. it was such a beautiful and satisfying love story. I felt it in my soul! Heartwarming and at times heartbreaking the character development was some of the best writing I've read or in this case listened to.. the narration was superb. This novel had the most sensual love scenes that were both sweet and sexy at the same time. Full of wisdom and truth it made me wish that every person could read this story and gain understanding about the world in color...and the potential for everyone to live a life with honesty empathy tolerance and love. I will definitely read this again and recommend it.. rhank you for writing such lovely compassionate stories.

Realistic

I liked all of it. It was realistic and not overly graphic in describing the sexual acts. It was a clean touching story that had some heart. Very well told by the master of narration Iggy Thomas.
