About this listen

Jules van der Meer... He's somebody I shouldn't want, someone I can't have.

The forbidden fruit. The desire not to be indulged in. He's wealthy, successful, important... everything I'm not.

I'm half his age. Immature and desperate.

It's what they all say—the men in the night with the fancy clothes and the shiny cars, with enough money to make me do whatever they please.

But him... well, he looks at me like I'm the answer to his prayers, a diamond in the rough. He doesn't realize how wrong he is, though.

I'm poison—putrid and vile. I'll seep into his pores, wrap around his bones, and destroy whatever light he has left until he's just like me...

Nothing but storm clouds and devastation.

Storm Clouds and Devastation is book two in the Hidden Affairs standalone MM series. This book features a significant age gap and touches on heavy issues such as mental illness.

The content could be very disturbing, although there are adult themed warnings it was a lot harder to listen to than I expected.
I thoroughly enjoyed the first in the series which is why I listened to this one but found it didn’t have the same vibe at all.
The narration is good as you would expect from these two.

Very dark not like the first book

It is not often that a book floors me, but this book is outstanding. The subject is heavy, but the reward is oh so worth it. I love the characters as we meet Bohdi in book one and he just comes across as a brooding young man, but get under the surface and your heart will fall apart at his story. Jules is the guy he meets as a blast from the past who tries to help him heal. I don't want to spoil it, but honestly it will stay with you long after it finishes. Beautiful narration and don't forget the Kleenex for those tears.

What a book!!!

It is hard to put in to words how great this book and the narration is. The internal pain Bohdi is living with is so raw and you feel it in the narration. I sometimes had to pause the book to take a breath. But it was so worth it, because as the story evolves and the characters relationship develops, you are right there with them and you cheer them on. The story line is so organically written and it keeps you in a chokehold. This is the kind of book you bond with and it stays with you, but omg it hurt my heart on the way to the hard fought HEA.

Raw and beautiful

heartbreakingly beautiful

Another cracking story from Ashley James.
This was a beautiful and captivating love story and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The 3rd act drama hit hard and was followed by a delightful HEA. The narration was perfection.

Excellent story 👏👏👏

While the difficult to read episodes of abuse at the hands of family are difficult to hear, I understand why they are there. What worries me is that the author doesn’t understand how the so called‘champion’ of the MC is also engaging in non consensual sexual behaviour and in addition stalking the MC in ways that are seriously abusive.

MC’s Savior an abuser too

A lot darker than I had expected. Could've used some trigger warnings for certain content besides being told the book has "heavy content". I'm not one to shy away from the darker subjects, but I prefer to go in with a rough idea of what I'm getting into. There were moments when I had to stop to take a break.

Despite the lack of warnings, I will say that Ashley James did a phenomenal job at depicting disordered eating and the toll it really takes on people. I connected a lot with Bodhi and really felt as if I were going on his journey with him.

The narration was amazing! I cannot get enough of Teddy Hamilton and the way he brings characters to life. This book is the first time I've listened to Liam DiCosimo, and I've got to say he did just as well at bringing Jules to life.

Very emotional
