Love Him Steady

On the Market, Book 4

By: E.M. Lindsey

Narrated by: Nick Hudson

"Whatever happens in the future, whatever we become in life, know you’re the best thing that ever happened to me."

Taking up shop in the former kosher bakery, Wilder Torres breathes new life into old traditions, but there’s a darkness about him most of the residents in Cherry Creek don’t want to touch. He’s a kind and quiet man, but Wilder hides scars under long sleeves from a vicious attack that nearly took his life, and he’s determined never to let anyone close enough to hurt him ever again.

And then he meets Lorenzo Moretti, a stranger sitting on a park bench, looking like the world had just kicked him in the gut.

Wilder has seen that look before, for years whenever he looked in the mirror. He knows the disaster that lies ahead, but he can’t deny wanting, even if he knows it’ll be hard work. And Wilder also Lorenzo deserves someone to remain steady and love him through it all. Even if he can’t find the ability to love himself.

Different and interesting

Lorenzo doesn't know who he is, or even who he wants to be, and in his insecurity and dissatisfaction he is rather hard to like. But he isn't a bad person, and he sincerely wants to change. I enjoyed his bumbling journey, and I especially enjoyed how he was given the opportunity to see his past assumptions in a new light. How you view yourself significantly affects what opportunities you see in life. His lovestory with Wilder is not alone what makes him find his way, for which I was grateful. I enjoyed the book a lot, and look forward to the next in the series!

Amazing!

I recently read this book. The audio version is so much better. It truly comes to life. Wilder and Lorenzo stole my heart. They're both so, I don't want to say broken because they really aren't. Damaged I suppose is what I'm going for. They're exactly what the other needs and they come into each others lives at the right time.

I'm super picky about narrators and Nick Hudson just jumped pretty close to the top. He was very easy to understand. Sometimes in audiobooks side characters come off sounding silly, and that wasn't the case at all in this one. I was fully engrossed from the beginning.

Beautiful

Loved this one from EM Lindsay! It was a beautiful friends to lovers story and I totally fell in love with Rocco and Lorenzo! Cherry Chreek is a great setting for a story and thisbone was so well written. Nick Hudson is fantastic and I hope he decides to stay in the business for a long while as he is quite talented!

You soothe the wound in my soul

On the retrospect, it might not have been a good idea to do this book as a standalone since there are a lot of characters from the previous books in the series. Usually, I go for fluffy and romantic type of love stories but this book is a little heavy on angst and trials.

Both main characters has a lot of inner demons they had to overcome and they are both two very lonely men who are somewhat detached from the world. Although it’s a bit heavy handed in angst, the hurt-comfort part was really quite satisfying to read. Plus, Nick Hudson did a wonderful job narrating this story. I think I would check previous books in the series to better enjoy this booo. Might do a relisten on this one after I have finished listening the previous books in the series.

Wilder and Lorenzo

I've enjoyed this series and the cast of eclectic characters. They have some interesting and heavy issues but they finds ways to help each other in either friendship or love. I love quirky small towns and this is definitely that. It was a little hard to get through he start a little slow moving and ok we get it, Lorenzo was lost , had a superficial life with no one who really cared about it...that lingered and repeated a little too much for me. But overall Iiked the story and Hudson does a fantastic job with the narration.
