About this listen

Ben

Wake up. Smoke. Get drunk. Sleep. Repeat.

I’m about to start my senior year of high school, and I don’t see that cycle changing any time soon. I’ve spent most of my life just trying to make it one more day, a precarious war in my head—one I was barely winning. But then he forced his way in and showed me what I was missing. A boy I’ve always looked at a little bit too long. He’s no better than me, though—he’s barely hanging on.

Damon

I’m careless, and I probably shouldn’t have gone out of my way to hook up with a very pretty, very straight boy. He wants more than I have to offer. He may not even realize it, but it’s written all over his face. His bright eyes drill into me in a desperate attempt to rip me apart and dive inside, but what he doesn’t know is that would be the worst decision of his life. I’m no one’s savior.

Cruel and Careless is a new adult MM romance with an HEA, and can be listened to as a standalone. It includes dark themes that may be triggering to some listeners.

OMG LOVED IT

so ill not contain any spoilers FYI, i can see how this would be a hard read for some people, especially if you've struggled with addiction or lost someone to addiction, i had a hard time listening to parts, but im glad i saw it through, i understand this books not for everyone, and i absolutely understand how it can hit hard, i dont suggest this title if addiction related stories cause triggers, cause half of the novel i kept feeling high and it kept me awake, cause after listening non-stop my brain sent me back to certain times and places, but its got a HEA, so it all worked in the end, i honestly cant wait to listen to the rest of the series, oh and narrator wise, absolute perfection!!! i wana give the narration 10 stars, im a bit biased though, Kirt Graves could read the frikin dictionary and make my knees week, ever since i first heard him narrate WolfSong i gobble up ANY and all books he narrates, Iggy Toma is also great i really really enjoyed this one, great job!!

Another set of sad boys to fall for

Such a beautiful heartbreakingly beautiful story. And MM romance that is swoon worthy for sure. A little too short for me but the narration was amazing and i enjoyed the story and characters!

True to Title

This is not an easy listen, but it's a good one. Realistic characters with real life issues that have to fight and claw their way to their HEA, but they make it. Excellent duet narration by both.

Wow!! Great story

I just want more. Bring on book two. Bailey Nicole can sure write a great story. It has all the feels. Insta attraction, first time MM. Drug abuse and screwed up parents. This one has it all. Including the HEA we all want for this couple. Iggy Toma and Kirt Graves really brought this one to life. They did an amazing job keeping me into this story and all of the characters. Well worth the credit and your time to listen.

Love these BOYS!!!

It was SO GOOD to be back with these boys!!
This was wonderfully narrated by Kirt Graves and Iggy Toma.
Ben has had a tough life. His mom is plagued by addiction, his dad by depression which Ben inherited. He really tries to make the best of his life and do what he loves, partying with his friends. But sometimes sweet Ben has a hard time keeping the smile on.
Then he meets Damon. Ben only knew him in passing in high school, but always knew there was something about him. Damon is older, cool, mysterious. Ben’s never been with a man before, but one night is all he needs to know he’s all in for Damon.
But this romance isn’t all roses and rainbows. Ben struggles with depression and staying motivated to be in school, while Damon’s addictive habits are getting harder to overlook. They’re toxic together but can’t bear to be apart.
These boys beg the question of what to do when the person you love is not the person you need?
These boys are troubled and really trying to make it work, but their demons won’t stop getting in the way.
Emotional, raw, sexy, hopeful, and hopeless.
Welcome to the Worthless Boys.

Beating the odds!

Another engulfing narration by Iggy Toma and a new narrator for me, Kirt Graves! Nailing both of these characters was absolutely stunning and engaging.

Both of these characters have their own demons, adding in drugs, alcohol, and depression is a recipe for disaster. Their rocky past just adds to their toxicity.

A raw and emotional rollercoaster of emotions, dealing with addiction and mental issues, grasps the readers attention to the end. Fantastic audiobook/storyline by Bailey and our worthless boys!

Enjoyed this book so much!

Im really bad at writing reviews so bear with me 😅
I'll start by saying that I've loved all the books that I've read from this author. I already read this book a while ago, and went searching for Bailey Nicole on IG so I can stalk her. After I read this book, I went on Amazon to read all her other work. Shes an amazing writer!
When I heard this book was going to audio i went running. There's something so different from when you read a book yourself and when you listen to a audiobook and the narrator's bring the characters to life. The two narrators did an amazing job. Now, I really need the second book to be released ASAP. Teddy and Liam's story is one of my all times favorites from this author. I've actually read and reread the second books so many times its not healthy.
Definitely check the triggers. It talks about addiction and one of the main MCs has a problem.
One thing about this book, it shows you how addiction can change a person behavior, and how they become very selfish. That they might love, but they love the high more, and how someone's addiction can hurt the ones around them.
⭐⭐⭐⭐

Broken Boys MM Romance

Damon and Ben are the epitome of broken boys from a poor south Florida neighborhood who have had rough lives and are just trying to survive day-to-day. They face difficult circumstances as they fall in love, and drug addiction leads to toxicity in their relationship. Even though the HEA felt a bit rushed, I’m glad they got there. I don’t know how realistic it is for someone to stay clean after one 60 day rehab stay, but this is fiction and in my mind they are living happily loving and supporting each other.

I'd really like my $25 back!

I'm learning the hard way that the samples of these stories can be quite misleading. Between the sex and drugs and the wildly unrealistic HEA, I'm at a loss. I suppose, shame on me. It is is "fiction" after all.
