Without You by Marley Valentine
5.0

Deacon is a sad and tortured man. Julian is his dead brothers boyfriend. I love love love a "why am I feeling these things" M/M story. This is a slow burn. Like really slow. But that said , the build up was great. These two men are both insecure, they are both confused (for different reasons), and the are both hurting. This book definitely pulls at the heart strings. As for the narration, because I  did the audiobook, this was my first experience with Tim Paige and I really enjoyed it. His smooth voice delivered the words beautifully. Teddy Hamilton made me feel. His nuances, the ache in his voice, and just his overall performance brought this book to another level for me. I was worried that this book wouldn't live up to the hype, but it totally did. It met every expectation.
