Publisher's summary

His world was water and rhythm. Hard work and drive kept Royal O'Connell one step ahead of his competition. His spot on the swim team, keeping his scholarship, was the only plan that mattered.

His world was ebony and ivory. Natural talent and ambition set Camden Morgan apart from the other music majors. His dedication scored him a full ride.

Normally, their paths would have never crossed...but when Royal meets his best friend's new roommate, his big plan and Camden's controlled environment faces a variable that could destroy it all: attraction.

The world they live in had no room for error. That undeniable pull between them was dangerous, and neither one of them could've prepared for the choice they'd have to make.

Love isn't always an easy road, and when everything they've worked for is on the line, they'll have to decide if being together is worth the risk.

Contains mature themes.

A very sweet romance story

The story of Royal and Camden. Such a sweet heartwarming romance.
Royal is a twin, at school on a scholarship for the swim team and meets his teammates roommate. Camden, he's a very introverted isolated piano genius. These boys grow so much, it's such a sweet story I enjoyed it very much the narration was so good.

I felt this story in my heart.

I have listened to this book three times since I bought it, it's a story I could listen to over and over again and if I had it in paperback the pages would be bent and the spin broken from frequent re-reads. As a writer, working on my first MM romance I started listening to MM romances for reseach and now I'm addicted. It helps that Teddy Hamilton and Aaron Shedock are two of my favorite narrators. I could listen to the two of them read the dictionary. The only way it would be better is if it were narrated in duet.

Excellently written

Loved this book and have enjoyed a few others from this author. This book has a lot more prose and eloquence than I think I remember in her other books. It was lighter on the sex scenes which also added a bit more weight to the simple emotions of the moment and she did a great job getting us inside the characters heads. Can’t appreciate the one star reviews that give no feedback on what they disliked in the story, so ignore them. This was a good balance of cute and deep with a sprinkle of angst. I have more or less stopped reading m/f novels but I think I might give the next book a try.

Wow!

An amazing story. Johnson takes us inside the characters, and let’s us feel them. I hope for more like this. The narration was outstanding!

Slow burn

I really enjoyed Royal and Camden's story. It was not at all what I expected and pleasantly surprising. This is a very slow burn but so worth the listen or read. I listened to the audiobook and Aaron Shedlock and Teddy Hamilton did an amazing job with this story.

Just Beautiful!

I am a fan of A.M. Johnson but held off listening to this book - and I regret every minute of it !

I mean duh, Teddy Hamilton and Aaron Shedlock are amazing as always . The author tells a beautiful story of a boy who has only ever had music and a boy who has always been shown love and acceptance .. and how they are perfect for one another. I loved how the subject of mental illness is managed - as something that exists, its not the best but we love the people and we help them manage .

Great story

I really liked this love story, the way how emotions were expressed and described. The main characters are so different and yet they found each other. The one thing I didn't love is the fact that they are 19,too early to find hea,but didn't ruined overall opinion about the book. Narrators were great,as always, especially Teddy.

AMAZINGLY WRITTEN

ive listened to 100s of romances an this has got to be my favorite so far Aaron an teddys voice together is like gravel in the ocean on a stormy night this book was so intensively romantic and shows that there is a deepness to silence. I loved it even the words like a slow but deep melody.

Just a Beautiful Story about Two Beautiful Souls

While this is the exact type of story I love, I purchased and moved this book to the top of my TBR pile because of the narrators, Teddy Hamilton and Aaron Shedlock. Together they are the holy grail of story tellers for me.

I will admit, I felt like this story started slow. I hung in there though and was so glad I did. I really liked how we started the book by watching Royal deal with his attraction to Camden and then having the strength to act on it. Next we see Camden gain strength through the beginning of their relationship, enough to finally come out to his parents. Lastly, we see them grow in strength together as they come out to Royal’s family and the whole school. Loved this book.
