About this listen
Struggling actor Dean only escorts occasionally to pay the bills. So, his first instinct on being offered a job with a strange set of conditions is to turn it down. No date. Don’t switch the lights on. Don’t touch him. I mean, what’s that all about? What’s the man trying to hide? Dean certainly doesn’t expect sex with a faceless stranger to spark so much passion inside him. It’s just business though, right? He can put a stop to it whenever he wants.
Then, Dean meets Justin - a scarred, ex-army soldier unlucky in love. Dean’s given a chance at a proper relationship. He can see past the scars to the man underneath. He’s everything Dean could possibly wish for in a boyfriend: kind, caring, and sweet. All Dean needs to do is be honest. Easy, right? But Justin’s holding back and Dean can’t work out why. But whatever it is, it’s enough to give him second thoughts.
They both have secrets which could shatter their fledgling relationship. After all, secrets have a nasty habit of coming out eventually. The question is when they do, will they be able to piece their relationship back together? Or will they be left with nothing but memories of bad decisions and the promise of the love they could have had if only they’d both been honest and fought harder.

Dean is an occasional escort. His ultimate goal is to be an actor, so he's waiting tables and taking on 'jobs' to help with car repairs, rent etc. One of his 'jobs' is with a man who has specific demands - no lights, must not touch and other things. Dean finds this a intriguing, if not a bit scary. The arrangement goes on, in the meantime, Dean meets a guy called Justin and they hit it off. Dean hides the fact that he escorts, but other than that they are good together. But Dean is also falling for his hidden lover and will ultimately have to choose just one.
David Walker was a great addition to the story. His narration was easy to listen to, his character portrayals believable, distinctly voiced (loved Tom's Cockney-laced accent).
This is a very well written, interesting story and the narration is a perfect way to experience the story.
Very good story enlivened with good narration.

Except things don’t go as planned. Although no words are exchanged, he senses there’s more to this john. Although he’s not allowed to touch, he gets touched. And those touches go straight to his soul. But there’s no future in a relationship with someone who won’t leave the darkness.
Right?
Then he meets a beautiful but damaged man. A man who is judged solely by his scars, and not the heroic acts that led to them. A man who’s been burned by other men who have fragile egos. Who believe what is on the outside is what really matters. But Dean sees past the outer to the inner. He gets Justin in a way few men have. They make a real connection. Except Dean keeps going to see his mystery client in the dark. With all these secrets, things are bound to come to a head. I’ll admit I did see the wreck coming, but it didn’t lessen the impact. I wanted these men to have their happy ending. I got that, thank God.
Okay, a couple of quick notes – the story is told entirely from Dean’s point of view and that worked for me. Justin remained just tantalizingly mysterious. And Dean’s roommate Georgia was brilliant. Her humour, her forthrightness, her honesty. She just hit all the right notes of how a best mate should be.
Finally I’ll mention David Walker. He did a fantastic job narrating the story, and I enjoyed his performance. I will say I found the whispering disconcerting, but it worked well with the storyline. I definitely plan to pick up more H.L. Day books.
