Sin and the Preacher's Son

By: Bonnie Dee, Summer Devon

Narrated by: Gary Furlong

Driven from his family when his sexuality is exposed, Jonah discovers drama, passion and intrigue in a traveling carnival - and in the enigmatic owner, Rafe Grimstone. The preacher's son and the lord who's rejected his former life in England feel the heat of attraction from the moment they meet.

Open-hearted Jonah is willing to risk hellfire and damnation for brief moments of pleasure with Rafe, but the older man is frozen in a past he can't escape, no matter how far he runs. As Rafe struggles to choose between responsibilities of his present and his past, mysterious accidents assail the close-knit carnival community. Will the perpetrator be revealed before the traveling show is ruined? And will Rafe finally reveal his true self to Jonah or continue to mask his identity like the changing images in a house of mirrors?

Almost perfect, but just misses

First, the story line was excellent and creative. I've read Bonnie Dee's stuff before and was hoping she didn't let me down. She didn't. I loved the story. It was well-written, the heat and sexual tension was perfect throughout, and just the right amount of sex. The problem was that after all that build-up and Jonah promising to show Rafe the next step in the wonders of physical intimacy, what we got after them spending weeks and weeks apart was "here we go, it's about to happen...fade to black."

This seems to be a common thing in m/m romance and it's extremely frustrating, which is too bad, because the rest of the story was so good.

Having said that, the narration was absolutely glorious. It took me a few minutes to get accustomed to Furlong's phrasing and pacing, but once I did, it was wonderful. I will definitely check out other books he narrates, now.

Worth the read

seriously listen to it in one day. got invest in the characters of the story. poor Sam.

Good story but...

I enjoyed the book but thought there was too much sex...boring sex. Found myself fast forwarding through those scenes. Plus, I felt the ending was rushed. Regarding, still recommend.

Good historical love story

I would have liked to see more character development. Also a glimpse at life in the new world, er old world they return to. Or a part 2!

I liked it.

When I was younger I saw a movie with much the same carnival plot except it was a circus. But it didn’t take away from this story. I liked it.
