Publisher's summary

"I fought one war on the battlefield. Now I fight another in my mind."

Jay is always on the run - always looking for the next place to start a new life. But no matter how much he moves, he can't escape the painful memories that haunt him. As he settles into his latest job in the warehouse at a glass bottle factory, he finds himself the target of his co-workers' teasing. When he takes a stand against one of the bullies, a fight breaks out. His boss, a war vet named Reese, steps in, and Jay accidentally shoves him to the ground, revealing Reese's prosthetic leg. Jay's sure he's gonna lose his job, but he's blown away when he's given another shot.

Reese is annoyed by the new guy. Jay is reckless and temper-prone. Maybe Reese shouldn't have given him a second chance, but his attitude reminds him of his war buddy - a guy who he cared deeply for and who he lost under tragic circumstances. He just hopes Jay doesn't let him down.

When an accident in the factory triggers one of Reese's PTSD episodes, Jay returns the favor by being there for him and keeping anyone else from discovering the incident. Reese wants to move on and forget it ever happened, but Jay won't let it go. And as much as Reese tries to keep his distance, there's a heat - a passion - between them that he can't resist. It leads them to the bedroom again and again, but Reese quickly realizes they've ignited more than the sparks they create between the sheets. And despite the tough-guy façade Jay puts on, underneath there's a soul just as tortured and hurt as he is. He's starting to fall for Jay, but he knows there's a dark storm lurking in the back of his own mind - a storm that will return one day and destroy the beautiful connection they share.

so painful...so wonderful!

Any additional comments?

Between These Sheets is a beautifully crafted emotional, intense and raw story of two men who lives a life in throes of their past and demons and how they form a soul-stirring bond that gives them the courage to find their happily ever after.
Layer by layer, this story unfolds and reaches the hard core of things.
This is a heart felt story. Reece dealing with PTSD had closed himself off from the world. Jay is angry for what the world had dealt him. They both have insecurities and issues but find themselves drawn to each other. Their story is a story of perseverance and nobody is to broken to love!
Loved every moment of it!

Great performance and emotional story

This was my first read/listen from Devon McCormack and holy hell was that intense. I really liked Jay and Reese and their journey. Both men are deeply flawed and can't seem to move on from their pasts. Although I didn't fully understand Reese's grief over the loss of his friend nor his reluctance to give Jay a chance, I still felt for him and his pain. Jay took a little longer to warm up to, but in the end, he showed his vulnerability and his steel as he stepped out of his comfort zone to fight for the man he loved. So . . .respect! Michael Pauley does a fabulous job with this story. His performance didn't have a lot of diversity in the MCs voices, but he does a great job with the emotional aspects of the story. His timing and pacing were spot on. Great performance overall.

I really enjoyed this one

Initially I didn't think I was going to like the story but he more I got into it the more I liked it. Reece suffers from PTSD and Jay from not feeling like anyone could really love him. Jay continued to show Reece his love and understanding, even though he does fall apart at times he seemed to really bounce back and shows Reece how much he loves him. I loved the epilogue that shows us them far in the future and how much they have grown.

5 stars .. a must read.

Story: 5 stars. Both main characters are so flawed. Both men suffered from traumatic past so you bet there was some angst for them to work through but it was worth it.

Narration: 5 stars. I have listened to a plethora of audio books and Michael Pauley is the most amazing narrator ever. This was a great story but the narrator made listening to it terrific... and the way he does a sex scene is freaking awesome.

Overall: 5 stars. This was a challenging story to tell bit the author did an excellent job weaving this tale that was sometimes painful , sometimes sweet but always freaking hot. And I mean freaking HOT.

FIVE STARS ARE NOT ENOUGH!!

This powerful, openly sexual relationship between two very damaged souls was beautifully tied up by the true definition of "salvation." This satisfying HEA touched on such painful events, it showed the author's skill in ultimately redeeming their realities. It brought the reader/listener to a very fine conclusion.

I read the book when it first came out, waiting to enjoy Michael Dean's sensual magic once available. He NEVER disappoints my expectations; his deep, unapologetic approach to exploring their passions is second to none.

This is one of my FAVORITE books & I recommend it to anyone hungering for a mature love story!!
