The One Decent Thing

Santa Rafaela, Book 1

By: Eliot Grayson

Narrated by: Chris Chambers

Everyone says kindness costs nothing. It's a lie. Kindness can cost you everything.

Sebastian

The only decent thing my high school bully ever did for me got him sent to prison. Aidan was a jerk, but he saved me from making the worst mistake of my life, and in return, my parents ruined him. Now that he's out, I'm determined to make amends. No matter what he needs, no matter how long it takes, I will make it all up to him. But first I'll have to figure out how to hide my attraction to my sexy, confusing new roommate.

Aidan

Saving him cost me everything. I have nothing and no one—except Sebastian. He's determined to make good on a debt I never asked him to repay. He's offering me money, a place to stay, and help adjusting to life on the outside. But all I'm really wondering is . . . who can save Sebastian from me—the desperate bisexual ex-con who probably wants more from him than he's willing to give?

Contains mature themes.

Great book

Would love a part 2 and a little more spice. Reading the 2nd book now.

Such a great book!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and cried and laughed out loud. The authors perspective and depth of understanding in the unusual circumstances make this book an amazing read

A beautiful story of love and decency.

I loved the characters of Sebastian and Aidan. They have both suffered so much, yet, when push comes to shove, they both work mightily to help the other out.

unnecessarily angsty

it was sweet a lot of angst a little too much unnecessary drama. the epilogue, and I don't think I'm giving anything away here cuz we all know there's an hea, proposal was just unnecessarily angsty. I like a good tearjerker, but this wasn't that. it was just kind of weird. I liked the narration though and the characters so it was a good listen.

Thoughtful and sincere

finally! another book that at least mentions cleaning and prepping prior to having anal sex. authors don't need to go into great detail, but this concept that a lot of authors have regarding m/m romance that anal sex is going to be just terrific without cleaning up beforehand, or, right after a big dinner is fairly ridiculous.
The premise to this book was sad, but I loved how the two main characters came together because of it. nicely narrated.
