    Yanni's Story

    Narrated by Joel Leslie

    About this audiobook

    When Yanni Tomaras is kicked out of his family home, his parents' final words are religious insults and an order to never return. Homeless and desperate, he's lured in by Lance-charming on the outside, an evil predator underneath-who abuses Yanni until he finds the courage to leave.

    Yanni should feel free. But by the time Spencer Cohen finds him, he's resigned to being handed back to Lance and once again being caged by fear.

    Starting school and a part-time job, Yanni begins to reclaim his life. But a love for silent films leads him to Peter Hannikov, a man with a kind heart but who's twice his age. An unlikely friendship between them blooms into so much more. Neither man knows what he wants, at first. Finding out exactly what he needs is Yanni's story.

    "I'd spent years as a bird, caged with my wings clipped, tormented and beaten. I thought I'd escaped when I'd left my abuser, but in hindsight, I could see that I was still caged, this time by fear and self-doubt. Spencer and Andrew, and Andrew's parents, opened the door to the cage that confined me. But it was Peter who taught me how to fly."

    Contains mature themes.

      This is my favorite book of the series! I loved the story & the complexity of the book made it very realistic.
    • 5/5
      I loved the first three books in the series that featured Spencer and Andrew, but I always wanted to know more about Yanni. His story touched my heart, and I was rooting for him to have his happy ever after. And that happy ever after had to start with Yanni taking control over his life and rebuilding what he once lost. The story was extremely emotional and pulled no punches when it came to Yanni opening up about his abusive relationships, first with parents who threw him out for being gay, and second with Lance, his abusive ex-boyfriend. Yanni has to find his own purpose and self-autonomy before he can fully embrace the love that’s waiting for him with Peter, his perfect match. Once Yanni and Peter got together, the sex scenes and romantic scenes were incredible. I loved the daddy kink, the age gap, and the hurt/comfort themes of this book. N.R. Walker did an incredible job with this book.
    • 4/5
      It is well written and read but I feel like it should go with a lot of trigger warnings.
      It's not the easiest book. It deals with abandonement, homelesness, violence, sexual assault and prostitution. It's written in a respectful way and it's not overly graphic but still - def not a feel good story. Plus the daddy-son dynamic might be problematic for some people. So- approach with caution.
