Joel Reading was lonely.
Nineteen years old,
estranged from his family, and seemingly unable to ever get a second date, he'd
surrounded himself with the things he loved most: old books and old music.
When one date got out of
hand before it even began, Joel found himself displaced from a flooded
apartment and on the doorstep of a handsome and older stranger more than willing
to take Joel in for the night.
Gabriel Hunter had waited
years for the right man.
When a distressed Joel
showed up at his door needing a place to stay, it was more perfect than Gabriel
could ever have hoped for. He quickly found himself falling for the complex and
beautiful boy he welcomed into his house and started to believe in a future
with the young man he adoringly called Little Red.
Unfortunately, Gabriel was
a man of many secrets, and they threatened to unravel the delicate relationship
he was building with Joel.
Would Joel be able to see
beyond Gabriel's deliberate omissions and give their love a chance, or would
Gabriel's kind of love prove to be more than Joel could handle?
The Lonely Hearts Stories
are interconnected stories that weave characters together across the releases.
While you would appreciate the characters and their journey by starting from
the beginning, these can be listened to as stand-alones.

Meows...
I found this story a
little weird. Initially, I wondered if it was like a fallen angel with
Gabriel's name and Adonis and Athena and all the someone saving him a few time
and him not seeing the savior, but it is not. They are all human. I also found
Gabriel a bit creepy with the stalker thing going on... but I loved it. The story is unusual, interesting and I
wanted to keep listening to see what was going on and who Gabriel was and how
our little Red would react. The story is well-written where Gabriel comes off
as creepy but also as sweet and loving.
I listened to the audio
version and Loved Kenneth Obi's narration. The voices he uses are good and help
form a vision of the character. The pacing and excitement are spot on too.
If you like unique
stories, Age gap, stalkers, take on children's stories ( I thought of Little
red riding hood and the big bad wolf since he is mentioned as little red and
Gabriel as the Wolf., some hot man-sex and a great romance you will like this!
