Roland Wilson is a
haunted man.
A decade since his last successful gallery showing, Roland’s life has crumbled. Imprisoned by his own mind and taunted daily by painful memories, he finds his only comfort in drinking. With a life that has devolved into nothing brighter than variants of gray, he sees little point in his existence when a delivery boy with eyes of inspirational blue shows up at his door.
Adonis Smith wants something he can’t have.
In his mind, Adonis lives up to his name. He’s six-feet tall and built like a god, but in reality he’s just Donny—a short, nothing-special twink that no one takes seriously in or out of bed. Then he meets Roland, a beautiful, yet brash, struggling artist who is consumed by his own shortcomings. Donny knows he shouldn’t get involved with the handsome and tempestuous man, but the more Donny sees of him, the more he wants Roland to be his...for good.
A mutual inspiration.
As the feelings between the two men develop into something colorful and vibrant, it seems each has finally found what he needs. When Roland enters a spiral of self-destruction, it derails his relationship with Donny and sends them both into a tailspin. On their own, each man will need to decide if he is strong enough to stand beside the other and face the future together.
Will they be able to rediscover the best parts of each other before the colors between them fade for good?
The Colors Between us addresses what it's like to live with depression and may be triggering for some readers

Cat gives this one 5 Meows...
I loved the first book in this series so much I couldn't wait for this one. I actually liked this one even more. Once again we get a unique story but this one deals with a serious social issue...depression and alcoholism. Roland is a painter that feels he lost his inspiration and doesn't realize how good he is e drowns himself in Vodka and his life spirals even more. then he meets Adonis who has issues of his own. Donny is a small man and is always considered a twink when he really likes to top. He meets Adonis and finds out he is a painter and Donny wants to be an artist as well.
I loved the story and was drawn in from the beginning. Kenneth Obi's drunk voice for Roland really hooked me and intrigued me. I could see Roland's personality through his narration.
If you like an age gap, a smaller man topping, stories dealing with depression and finding a new life, and cute kittens you will like this one!
