Faith & Fidelity

Faith, Love, and Devotion, Book 1

De: Tere Michaels

Narrado por: JP Handler

Reeling from the recent death of his wife, police officer Evan Cerelli looks at his four children and can only see how he fails them. His loving wife was the caretaker and nurturer, and now the single father feels himself being crushed by the pain of loss and the heavy responsibility of raising his kids.

At the urging of his partner, Evan celebrates a coworker’s retirement and meets disgraced former cop turned security consultant Matt Haight. A friendship born out of loneliness and the solace of the bottle turns out to be exactly what they both need.

The past year has been a slow death for Matt Haight. Ostracized from his beloved police force, facing middle age and perpetual loneliness, Matt sees only a black hole where his future should be. When he discovers another lost soul in Evan, some of the pieces he thought he lost start to fall back in place. Their friendship turns into something deeper, but love is the last thing either man expected, and both of them struggle to reconcile their new and overwhelming feelings for one another.

Finally in audio

Any additional comments?

I love this series, well, mostly I love Matt, Evan is too much of a martyr for my taste. Sadly I don't like the narrator very much, he sounds like he's going to cry most of the time, if they stick with him for the rest of the books in the series, I won't be getting them.
But, if you've read the blurp and listened to the sample and thought "wow" then go for it, it really is a good series.

Love Evan and Matt

I loved this book so much I had to get an audio copy too. Matt and Evan are the most gorgeous couple ever!!!!

I love this book.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This book is so emotionally honest and that's what makes it one of my favorites.

I noticed some other reviews didn't like the reader, but I really enjoyed him.

I can't recommend this book enough.

the narrator messed it up

i like the story and how the lead men discovered love. i would have enjoyed the story more if i didn't spend the whole time trying to figure out who was talking. every character had the same tone which made it, at times, difficult to follow.

LOVED IT EMINCELY! !!

I want more of this storyline for the next 20 years or more for it felt like the story is over or complete.

overwhelmed with this magnificent history

beautiful history where it teachers us what really is important in life......Real love, whatever form it comes, bc,love is love,and that is all.

Great story. Good narration.

Really enjoy this series. Intense emotional story that is well written. Narration is decent fit.

Revisiting a favorite story

What did you love best about Faith & Fidelity?

The story, the set up between two previously straight men, who come to find that they belong together.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Faith & Fidelity?

The happy ending, as the problems and doubts are resolved and the men decide they do belong together.

Would you listen to another book narrated by JP Handler?

Yes, but he is stilted at times, sort of robotic. At other times there is no difficulty.

Any additional comments?

A worthwhile tale, one I've reread multiple times. It is a pleasure to have an audio version available.

Narrator detracts from the story

This is actually a very good story and I love the family of one of the main charaters. BUT the narrator is really weird. The story starts out with the death of the wife of one of the MC - and he (the narrator) sounds heartbroken - and at first u think "Whoa hes really getting in to this" but no... I dont know - mayby he should have taken some personal time to get over what ever is making him miserable, because he sounds on the verge of tears all the time. My advice -READ the book instead!

I didn't mind the narrator

I actually put off listening to this book b/c of all the terrible narrator reviews. But I got to tell you, I didn't mind him. It is not the best I've heard, but it is certainly not the worst. But I thought he did an OK job. I only wish he had more diversity for Evan and Matt; sometimes I couldn't tell who was speaking b/c they sounded so much alike.

This was one of my favorites as an ebook and I really enjoyed it in audio form as well. Actually it has been a while since I read it, so in listening to it, I actually picked up on a lot. This is the story of a cop mourning the loss of his wife and finding joy with another man. I think they call it "latent homosexuality" and it hits both men. But what makes this story so powerful is the courage shown by both men to be with each other. I'm going to get the 3rd book, which picks up the story and skip the 2nd, because it is with a different couple and really doesn't have Evan & Matt. The 3rd book deals with what happens AFTER the HEA of this book.

It was worth a credit to me, but for others apparently not.
