The Secrets in My Scowl
By: A.E. Via
Narrated by: Tor Thom

Broody and a loner, Jacob has created his own monster. He was burned before and refuses to let himself feel. Top it off with being the best divorce attorney in the state, and he finds himself jaded when it comes to relationships. Wild has move his wedding planning boutique into the same building across of Jacob's office. And when these two first meet, there is no way anything would ever develop between them. Until Wild sees Jacob. Really sees the man. This is a beautiful love story of hurt, deceit, and hopelessness that has the chance to be turned to love, trust and a bright future. I absolutely love the story line, the characters and the reasons for the scowl. A E Via brings out the emotional turmoil of young love and how it shapes our lives. This story is realistic and compassionate. Wild is unpredictable and funny, protective and loving, the total opposite of Jacob and it makes the story show just how love is found in the most unlikely places.

Tor Thom voices this one from his heart. Both characters are emotionally charged and he pulls out the feelings for each. He creates each one with a voice that fits the character, from the broody Jacob to the creative Wild. It's heartfelt and sensitive, brought to life in a fantastic performance.

Loved this! Jacob was hard to like at first. I understand why but ugh he was an ass in the beginning. So glad Wylde came into his life. Wylde was perfect for him and I really loved his personality.

I enjoyed this book even better the second time around. A cynical divorce lawyer and a hopeless romantic wedding planner, you can't get any more opposites attract than that! I love how Wylde didn't let Jacob's gruffness put him off and took time to understand why he was the way he was. This was definitely a story of Jacob's growth and understanding that your past doesn't have to define you. And of course the hot sexy times that I love from AE Via!
