Narrated by: Chris Boykin

The Bully Boss Behaving Badly

Casey Uhlig is a big man with a temper to match, and in the past his rage has cost him boyfriends and respect. The anger is a roadblock, but he has been too busy building his company to get a handle on it. One morning, Casey’s temper explodes when he’s furious with his computer and he terrifies a beautiful boy from the tech department. The boy runs, but his frightened eyes haunt Casey, and he decides it’s time to learn to apologize.

The Scared IT Geek

Angel Gaffin has had a difficult life. He grew up with an abusive father and doesn’t respond well to violence. When his boss, Mr. Uhlig, blows up at him, he heads home to hide. What he doesn’t count on is his boss tracking him down to apologize. Angel is shocked by the feelings one apology stirs up in him.

Power Play to Grow Closer

A date with Casey leads to a relationship that both scares and comforts Angel. Casey is older than Angel and that difference feeds into Angel’s craving to have someone protect him. Angel hands over his trust. Problems arise because while Casey might be trying now to be a good person for Angel, his past coming to light might tear apart the fragile connection they’ve established. Will Casey be able to grow as a person and become the man Angel needs, or will he give in to his anger and pain, and ruin both their lives?

Grabs you and doesn’t let go!

This story is one that really tugs at your heartstrings - Angel is a great person who seems to have drawn the short stick. His dad is horrible and abusive and, at first glance, you think Casey is going to be the same. Ki Brightly proves us wrong - that both men are strong and deserving of love. A beautifully emotional story and a good performance by Chris Boykin makes this a great listen!

Casey & Angel

Casey is Angel's older boss who has some anger management issues. Its caused issues in the past, and he still needs to work through it. I liked them together, and Angel was a sweetheart. Casey could be a hero/protector for him. Casey really needs to control his temper if he wants things to work. Angels father is a terrible person. Casey has things in his past that can cause problems for him and Angel. I did feel Casey took too long to come clean. He also really needed to work through his anger issues sooner.

Chris Boykin was new to me, but I feel like he did well and I would listen to him again.

Amazing

This book went straight to my heart.How could Angel live in such fear of everything. How could a man Casey never control his temper,yet here they were attempting a relationship. I loved this book and narration. I received this audio free for a honest review

Love this story!

I honestly love this story and have been back to reread it several times. The narration was decent, pretty stilted in the beginning but it does smooth out for the most part as the book goes on.

Dark & Twisted in a Good Way

Dark and twisted story with likable (for the most part) characters. Angel's father reminded me of my own and how truly hateful people can be. Mild d/s relationship between the two MC's, plenty of angst and no cheating. New to me narrator does a wonderful job of making the story that much more interesting. Highly recommend!
