The Skeptic

Lost Boys, Book 1

By: Kelly Fox

Narrated by: Declan Winters

I'm a gay preacher with more tattoos than sense and more notches on my bedpost than years in the ministry.

You've heard of those romances where the priest is seduced by the worldly outsider? Yeah, this isn't that.

I'm also not totally settled on the existence of God. Call me a skeptic, but when you work with abandoned and abused teenagers, you tend to have a few questions for anyone calling themselves divine.

Having lived in Seguin most of my life, I've always been the troublemaker. Most of my queer friends fled this place just after high school, but we all know that the only reason any of us made it out alive was our shop teacher, Mr. Paige. He lovingly called us his Lost Boys. Now that his health is failing, the Lost Boys are coming together to support him and his family.

To be honest, I may have been more supportive of Mr. Paige's son than was totally appropriate for a guy in a collar. Turns out, just like the Lost Boys, Holden had good reason to leave Seguin all those years ago.

Despite his history, I'm hoping he's willing to find a reason to stay.

The Skeptic is a spicy, emotional romance that features a faithless preacher, a hot nerd, and the phrase, "Forgive me, Father, for I am about to sin."

So freaking good!

This story absolutely destroyed me in the best way possible when I read it. Listening to it with Declan Winters flawless narration made it so much more. Hearing the characters come to life with his voice and perfect emotion for every situation within the story is perfection.

All the Feels

Just read this book for the second time. I have read most of this incredibly talented author’s books. The love, grief, challenges and persistence are portrayed so beautifully. I also deeply appreciate her sense of humor and her ability to discuss difficult topics so compassionately.

The Skeptic

I absolutely loved this book. When it released on audio i didn’t hesitate to buy and listen. Great narration, great heartfelt story, great cast of characters. One of my favorite books of 2023 🖤 can’t wait for this series to continue

So Good!

This is an amazing story about tender long lasting love and the broken pieces that get us there. With a side of devilish humor.

So good

I loved this book when I read it and the narration takes it to another level. This story makes me ugly cry and use so many tissues, but it is wonderful and uplifting.
