Castles in the Air

De: Felice Stevens

Narrado por: Kale Williams

One heartbroken, lonely man
Another man struggling to find his life again

Ryan Matson dreams of a new life, one with a future where drugs aren’t in control. But lying to himself isn’t helping him achieve that goal. Neither is pretending he’s sober, especially not with Logan Silver, his one-night stand and longtime crush. When Ryan's world implodes and all his hopes for a fresh start vanish, he heads down a familiar, self-destructive path, doing what he does best: running and hiding. Only this time, he’s got Logan Silver searching for him.

And Logan won’t stop until he finds him.

Logan Silver is the man who has everything and yet nothing at all. After losing his brother to drugs years ago, Logan is heartbroken, unable to regain his footing or open himself to others. Except to Ryan, the only one to break through the pain that haunts him each day. He is driven by a need to protect Ryan, to give him all he can—a home, a chance at a fresh start…everything, no strings attached. Then Ryan disappears, taking Logan’s trust with him. And when he returns, insisting on keeping his distance, Logan feels like he’s been used. And nobody uses Logan.

Logan and Ryan are unable to deny their attraction, but this time has to be different: no more lying to themselves and each other. Logan must let go of his heartbreak and fear to support Ryan as he discovers his own way. Because Ryan doesn’t need a savior. He needs to own his truth, believe in himself, and accept that he deserves to be happy. Only then can the two have a future together—one built on a foundation of love and trust—that won’t vanish like clouds in thin air.

From Lambda Literary Award winning author Felice Stevens comes an emotional MM romance full of heartbreak, hope and ultimately love. It's filled with angst, true friendship, and swoony, steamy moments plus an epic happily ever after.

Be advised there is discussion of substance abuse and mental health issues.

Meh

Main character did not resonate. The guy seriously needed therapy and was extremely controlling. Not what I want to get invested in with this type of story. Character development was weak. Not written with much sensitivity/accuracy about recovery.

So so beautiful!

Another masterpiece by Felice and Kale team! Cried my eyes out and then I was so happy to see the other characters, especially the grumpiest of them all, Ash. Kale is a virtuoso and made this beautiful story even more amazing! Thank you both so much! And now, even though I had another audiobook to listen on my list, I will go back to Ash and his brothers’ stories because all of them need a re-listen along with The New York Minute!
