About this listen

Don't miss the epic conclusion to Caspian Hart and Arden St. Ives' love story!
If you love someone, set them free...

I thought I'd be okay when Caspian Hart left. He was a brilliant, beautiful billionaire with a past he couldn't escape. And I was...just me: an ordinary man lost in his own life. It would never have lasted. It should never have happened. Not outside a fairytale.

And I am okay. I've got my job, my family, my friends, and everything Caspian taught me. Except it turns out he's going to marry his ex-boyfriend. A man who doesn't understand him. A man who almost broke him. And I've finally realized it's not enough for me to be happy. I need Caspian to be happy, too.

Problem is, I've already done all I can to help him. I've followed his rules and broken his rules and learned his secrets. And he still won't believe I can love him. So now it's his turn. His turn to fight, and trust, and hope. It's time for Caspian Hart to choose me.

Gosh, what to unpack about this installment? It is funny, poignant, compelling, suspenseful, and oh so satisfying. Ardy has more adventures -- with George, Bellrose, and, of course, Ellery. But, I loved every part of this story, or rather, culmination. Joel Leslie turns in a bravura performance capturing all of these elements. His commitment to the story -- and comic timing -- are second to none in the industry. I urge you to take this journey. You will NOT be disappointed!!

Perfect culmination of the trilogy!

I’m obsessed with Alexis Hall’s sense of humor and writing style. I literally LOL and strangers look at me like I’m deranged. But, I could give two Fs. I will always buy all of his books. This series is buried in layers of angst, torment, self-deprivation, self-deprecation and love. Some parts are hard to listen to and I wish there would have been some retribution in regard to LS’s web of wrong-doings; however, all-in-all I really enjoyed closure to a beautiful story. Joel Leslie is perfection. His inflection and timing is gold.

All the love for this series.

There is a lot of personal growth in this book. George was absolutely delightful. I do kind of wish there were a few more details of Arden's work with the magazine, and more resolutions for the personal stories of the side characters, but overall this was a good story of two people learning how to be together by taking time apart. Arden carries the story, I love him dearly. Caspian has grown on me considerably as a person, though I still feel like of the two Caspian is the lucky one.

I’m in love with this series. Alexis Hall is amazing and writes such wonderfully complex characters. Arden and Caspien’s story was beautiful, complex, heartwarming and hilarious. And Joel Leslie does a fantastic job narrating.

A vivid conclusion to the trilogy. I admire Hall’s commitment to take us into the tangled mess of the human condition and into its heights of awareness, humor and generosity - at times an almost gothic tale of grasping at shadows and at others a sort of giddy romp through life’s most thrilling possibilities. I especially responded to Arden’s tendency to blurt truths and to trust his own youthful understanding of human nature when confronting the entrenched, obstructionist viewpoints of more seasoned characters. Colorful or severe, each character gets their treatment as a unique creature, contributing their gifts or danger to the world of this story. Through the rollicking ups and downs, rude discoveries and nakedness, the protagonist manages to blossom in a way that feels like a birth. Exciting, entertaining, moving and inspiring. Yay!

Thrilling, complex, compelling

I do not write reviews as often as I should. I feel guilty about my laziness, considering how much creative energy so many of my favorite authors put into building the stories I compulsively consume like so many chips. In my defense, I read so much that a great proportion of what passes before my eyes (or through my ears) fails to leave a lasting impression, especially with genre fiction which is often so trope-laden and formulaic that it all blurs together with little to distinguish it.

Not so the Arden St. Ives series. Ever since Glitterland, Alexis Hall has been one of favorite authors, whose every release is an auto-buy. But even among all the superlative novels I've enjoyed from this source, these three stand out.

I've been waiting to pounce on this final installment ever since the end of the second book, "How to Blow It With a Billionaire." So much so that when I woke up at 3:00 a.m. on release day, I had to get up and download the new book and start listening right away (which pretty much put paid to any more sleep.) With so much anticipation on my part, one might predict that the reality would be disappointing in some aspect or another. Seriously, though -- the only complaint I can come up with was that it was not nearly long enough!

This series keeps the reader engaged in every way. The language alone is enough to make me swoon. I want to roll wantonly around in the rich and sensuous vocabulary. The characters are so well-drawn that it is hard to believe they are constructed rather than birthed. The plotting deftly avoids the usual cliches, and I was delighted not to be able to predict the ways in which the story unfolded. The emotional dynamics had me snorting with laughter one minute, only to tear up at a poignant moment later in the very same scene. The themes of shame and identity (among many others) added multiple layers to one's experience of the story. It might be easy to look at a plot synopsis of this series and dismiss it as just another porny gay romance. As someone who once earned an English degree, I would be happy to classify it as literature. It just happens to be literature which explores complex aspects of the human condition through kinky sex. (And hot kinky sex, at that!)

When the book ended, I found myself sitting listening to the silence through my earbuds for a while, vainly wishing for more. While the HEA was very satisfying indeed on the main character front, I would have very much enjoyed seeing some additional scenes with all the other key players. I can't help but hope for an Ardy Aftermath that would distribute measures of deliverance and retribution, as deserved. (Even if it might be a little predictable.) It is just hard to say goodbye without knowing the actual details of what happens next. However, even if no more of the Arden St. Ives story is forthcoming, I can at least appreciate my imperfect memory in that I can look forward to many enjoyable re-reads. Thank you, Mr. Hall, for the many hours of reading pleasure you have delivered to this very grateful reader!

So good. Words fail. Buy this book.

Arden St. Ives is my favorite character in all M/M fiction, but I can't separate the character created by Alexis Hall and Joel Leslie's performance of him. I've listened to the series twice, and I think the third book is flawed as Arden wanders through sexual escapades that, without Caspian, are less interesting than his sexually and emotionally charged interludes with the billionaire. The book is funny, entertaining, and endearing even when it is outrageous and wanton, coquettish, and slutty, to draw from the previous book in the series, because Arden is all those things. I've since listened to about a dozen Joel Leslie books since listening to this one, and as long as he's doing an English accent, I could listen to him read the obituaries . . . for hours.

I am a bit sad it’s over after following Arden and Caspian through three books! Well written and beautifully narrated!

Great end to the trilogy!

Great audiobook, then final book was fantastic. Arden went thru his struggles and learned from them and in doing so was able to be who Caspian needed and to be the one to show Caspian what he needed. I would have loved a bit more follow up on Bellerose and Ellery but overall a great series!!!

Arden and Caspian such a great story!!
