Without You

Marley Valentine

4.15 AVERAGE


Wow. This book had me from the very start. The way Marley captured the emotion in the first chapter was just so very relatable. I was sobbing the first entire chapter. Julian and Deacon had a beautiful story about loss and love. “It’s about what’s in here,” he explains, tapping a finger to my pec.”That’s what called to me, and that’s the only thing that matters” ❤️

This was my first Marley Valentine book and I really love the way they write.

Priceless love story

How do you explain that a book/audiobook is worth more than the price of "admission"? I can tell you this book is priceless. I can try to convey the soul warming effect. I can tell you the tears aren't always a bad thing but how can I express the total joy and absolute need to share this on you? How do I get you to know that it's beautiful, it's sexy (how can in not be!?!), and its 110% romance?

This book is without a doubt one of the most heart warming, soul touching, everything books! Easily a new favorite and will always smile at the thought of it!

And let's not forget the ever talented Teddy Hamilton, who makes me simultaneously soothed by his voice and turned on! (Sorry for the awkward and creepy way that sounds, Teddy!) Teddy has a way of making a story his. Making his voice and the character a living breathing being. Thank you for telling me Deacon's story, it wouldn't have been the same without you...

Tim Paige, while you are new to my ears, I look forward to hearing more from you. You did a great job and I can say with all honesty that I think you will become a new favorite of mine as well.

And last but not least Marley, you have crafted a story that burrows into the heart of a person. It gets in deep and creates a shining light of utter joy. Like feeding a plant the light continues to shine and create warmth and a lasting impact long after the words are done. Thank you. Thank you for giving me an HEA for a brother who never got his own.

Julian and Deacon.

I listened to this on audio.

These broken boys, dealing with tragedy in their own ways and finding their way to each other. The emotions they felt, I felt too.

They journey to be together was heartbreakingly beautiful.

absolutely recommend.
