The Truth Within

Pelican Bay Series, Book 3

De: Sloane Kennedy

Narrado por: Michael Dean

I'm not a fighter. I never was. So how do I make the one man who might just be worth fighting for see that?

At 25 years old, Ford Cornell should have his whole life ahead of him but instead, the would-be artist is drowning in denial and just trying to get through each day. And the boy who once believed life was about following impossible dreams has finally come to accept that it's really only about surviving a living nightmare...one of his own making.

But the bruises are becoming harder to hide.

So is the truth...

I refuse to fall for a guy who won't accept the truth about who he is or what he wants. Not again...

They say bad things happen in threes.

For Sherriff Camden Wells, it's more like fours...or fives...or dozens.

After an ugly lie destroys his career and the man he'd planned to spend the rest of his life with cuts him to the core with the ultimate betrayal, 40-year-old Cam is counting on his new job as sheriff of the quiet town of Pelican Bay to be the fresh start he needs. What he isn't counting on is meeting a young man who makes him want to break all his own rules.

He wants me to accept something that will cause me to lose everything. I may not have much but it's something and something is better than nothing...right?

Ford's gotten used to his role as his older brother's punching bag and being his mother's never-ending disappointment. They may not be the Cleavers but family is family and Ford's seen up close and personal what happens when you don't have anyone in your corner...or when you go against family.

And there's just no way he's strong enough to survive that...

Nothing about us should make sense but maybe that's why it does...

Two men... one living a lie and one knocking down the walls of the closet he was forced to live in for so long. When one white-hot encounter leads to another and then another, Ford and Cam are forced to accept that their need for each other isn't going away anytime soon. But being together means one will need to go against everything he believes in.

So which man will bend and which will break? And what will the truth ultimately reveal?

Worth the Read!

I happened upon this series due to my love of Sloane Kennedy.. Michael Pauley took a few chapters to get use to but the overall feel of this series is more than worth the price of admission..

Excellent story and performance!

I thoroughly enjoyed this 3rd volume of the Pelican Bay series. I looking forward to volume 4 and learning more about Sawyer.

The Truth within

Omg this audio book was absolutely positively amazing. I would highly recommend the audio book r

I love this book in the series hoping Sloane Kennedy continues the series with maddox's friend Jed and the good vet and the old man and his long-lost love and maybe the young boy Riley.

Good.

Good story. Interesting plots and some complicated characters.
Narrator did a good job and made it enjoyable to listen

Heartbreakingly beautiful

Wow, this series so far is so amazing!! I absolutely loved Cam and Ford’s story, it was so heartbreaking and beautiful! I balled my eyes out quite a few times, like when Cam sees Ford’s mural, “Coming home”, gah so many tears and then the epilogue with Walter, so many tears. Damn. So beautiful! I can’t wait for Sawyer, Lincoln, possibly Alex and eventually Riley’s stories. I can’t believe I waited this long to read these books. I listened to the Audio versions for all 3 and have loved them all!!

I loved the book!

I have never shed so many tears! Thank you for writing this gorgeous story! It gives me hope to find the love of my life and create my own chosen family! Please continue this series. I will be the first to listen to it!

Ahh Pelican Bay

This series is such a great listen. I seriously cannot get enough of Sloane Kennedy. Michael Pauley's narration is great as well. I have gotten lost in whatever story I have listened/read of hers. This 3rd installation of the Pelican Bay Series was no different.

I have promised myself to stop spoiling in my reviews so if I slip I apologize.

Cam and Ford's story was awesome. I know this is a work of fiction but sadly some of the things that people in the LGBT community go through are very real. I can only imagine how it would be in a small town. I live a moderately sized city and it is pretty conservative so the actions of some of the citizens in Pelican Bay are not far fetched.

Once again, Sloane has given us these characters that are put through the wringer but still manage to find each other and maybe even hold on to one another. All of her characters tend to be so very well written, even the peripheral ones. I cannot wait for the next book.
