Broken Promises

An MM Hurt Comfort Age Gap Romance (Soho Knights, Book 5)

De: Oliver Takely

Narrado por: James Joseph, Derek Duvall

Jason is successful, confident, and unlovable. Living in the heart of Soho with his found family brothers, he masks his trauma with more sass than you can throw glitter at. After love burned him once, he vowed never to let it happen again. One night, one time, no attachments. That’s how he survives and protects his heart.

Patrick knows loss too well. His husband’s sudden death shattered his world, and he believes he’ll never feel that kind of connection again. Then Jason storms into his life. A pint-sized spitfire with haunted eyes. Fifteen years younger than him, a boy who he shouldn’t want but can’t resist. Patrick’s daddy instincts are to hold, to heal, to care, but Jason refuses to be saved.

Their undeniable attraction spans a year of push and pull, as all of Jason’s brothers find their happy endings around him, leaving him with the possibility of being alone, as he has been all his life. When Jason gives into his desire for Patrick, his past mistakes come back to bite him. His ex-husband, a ruthless mob boss, wants him back. And he doesn’t care who gets hurt in the process.

In the explosive final chapter of the Soho Knights series, all the questions will finally be answered. Will everyone’s baby brother, Jason, finally get the happily ever after he truly deserves, or will it come at the price of another devastating loss?

Although this book can be listened to as a standalone, the timeline runs across the entire series, so does include spoilers for the other books in the Soho Knights series. These aren't excessive, but not possible to avoid completely.

Lovely narrators

I really enjoyed the tone and sound from the narrators. They did a good job bringing the characters to life. The begging was fantastic.

I will say this is my first book by this author and it doesn't completely feel like it should be a standalone. I felt like some details were just glossed over as I assume they were present in the other books.

Jason was such a sweetheart who really just needed someone to love and challenge him. His ex was terrible to him.

Patrick lost his partner and hasn't been interested in anyone else until Jason walked in. Unfortunately Jason was in his hit it and quit it era so Patrick has to work for more.

I think this had huge potential so I think if I had read them all it would have been so much better. The connection with the "brothers" was so sweet and I wanted more of it.

For me the Daddy/boy dynamic is very hit or miss. I think it worked really well in this book and was really hot to listen to Jason begging Daddy for what he wanted. And Daddy calling out his brat.
