A fantastic emotional story - It's a pity that the series is now over.
From the blurb:
My scars are both visible and hidden. I’m lonely, but I do okay…I think. I’m still a bit of a disaster, but I have a job and a roof over my head, and the medication keeps my demons at bay. What I don’t need is a babysitter, but try telling my overprotective brother that.
When I first saw Luke, I couldn’t stop staring—his beauty and strength captivated me. As I get to know him, I realize he’s the calm to my chaos—the light to my darkness. Of course, he’s straight, so I can’t have him. But all it takes is what I thought was a hot dream, and it appears we’re both open to change. The lines are blurred, and he doesn’t have a problem with that…or me. I don’t deserve him, but he doesn’t see it that way. He’s perfect.
But he doesn’t know what I did. If he knew the ugly truth, I’d lose him. Luke and I can only ever be temporary, so I keep my secrets.
When the past threatens to catch up with me, I have a choice…keep the secret for the sake of me and my brother…or take a chance and tell Luke everything. But damn it, I can’t even get that right.
Is it too much to ask to love and be loved and have a chance at the future I desperately want…with Luke? The past is dead. So why won’t it stay buried?
Lesetiger's review:
I loved the Men of Fairlake series and find it almost a pity that My Chaos, His Calm is the last volume in the series.
Romeo Alexander has a wonderful writing style; he writes with great sensitivity, and once you start reading or listening to the story, you can't escape its pull.
This time, the story is about Felix and Luke. Felix and his brother Grant, who owns the bakery, had a difficult childhood, and Felix still struggles with the shadows of the past. But thanks to his brother, he has a stable life. Nevertheless, Felix sometimes tends toward chaos. When he meets Luke at a Christmas party, the two quickly become friends. Luke is understanding and you just have to love him. He is calm and steady as a rock. The connection between the two is immediate, and what starts as friendship quickly becomes more. But what if there is only one person who is not playing fair? Then it gets very emotional, and I wanted to give Felix a hug and tell him that everything will be okay again.
This is a wonderful story, as full of love as it is deeply moving. It is filled with emotion and passion, as well as hatred and destructive rage. But in the end, love triumphs.
As always, Michael Dean delivers an absolutely convincing performance. He captures the emotions perfectly, reads vividly, and brings the characters to life. It was an absolute pleasure to listen to!
