 Bishop

A True Lover’s Story

By: A. E. Via

Narrated by: Tor Thom

Length: 13 hrs and 10 mins

Publisher's Summary

At only 32, Bishop Stockley has lived a hard-knock life. After doing five years in a federal prison, Bishop is back at his dad's trailer and working for his landscaping company, thrust into a legit world where he's no longer the alpha - a world where a criminal record is the least of his disadvantages, because Bishop can't read or write. 

Bishop already had the deck stacked against him, but he wasn't afraid of hard work to change his situation, and he did want to change. Especially after he encountered Edison Scala, a kind-spirited office manager who didn't hesitate to come to his defense...a man that saw past Bishop's grass-stained coveralls. A man who wasn't intimidated by his stern features and his silence. 

Bishop knew Edison was off-limits. He'd made personal vows to himself when he was released from prison, ones that he never intended to break. But, when Edison asked him about providing landscaping services at his home, there was no way he could refuse. He hadn't expected Edison to feed him, praise him, encourage him, and look at him the way he did - as if Bishop was somebody.  

RACHEL'S REVIEW 

Tom Torr literally brought this story alive for me. He breathed life into these characters and gave them their own voices.

The storyline was engaging and the characters were likeable and entertaining.

This was low on the and high on the feels.

If you enjoy an opposites attract, hurt/comfort romance, definitely recommend this one.

  BLURB   I knew the instant I saw him he was meant for me.  I feel like the focus of my life took a hundred-and-eighty-degree shift.  I couldn’t stop thinking about him.  He became my obsession…my descent into hell.  Damn. I couldn’t be sure who the monster was…him, me or my enemies.  My heart and mind will defy all logic but he doesn’t know that.  I’ll do anything for Dillon. He defines my destiny and I will fight for his survival. Our fates are sealed.  I shall not wait any longer.  REVIEW   This book is unlike anything I have ever read. I don't want to give much away, so I won't go too much into detail about the story itself. I wasn't sure what to expect when I started reading this, but let me tell you, I was engaged from the very first page. The twists and turns will keep you guessing and at the edge of your seat. The characters are real, relatable and well fleshed out. I liked that this was in dual POV as we get a perspective of what's happening in the minds of bo

  BLURB  Everyone hopes his road to happily ever after will be carefree and smooth, but too often hair-pin turns and detours seem to get in the way.   Having thought he was on the road to forever before, former Silicon Valley programmer Dan Lassiter is leery about pedaling down it again. His elderly companion Charlie urges him to get to know Rick Reardon whose bakery is across the street from Dan’s bicycle shop.   Under the watchful eye of Charlie, Dan and Rick take tentative steps towards each other, all the while trying to avoid potholes such as exes, homophobes, and family problems.   As summer turns to fall and then winter, they hope that the road will be smooth going from their first date and first kiss to having what Rick’s sister euphemistically calls their “sleep overs”. At each step, though, they are tripped up and wonder why there seem to be so many bumps in their road.   Maybe Dan and Rick should heed some of Charlie’s sage advice or maybe they should listen to their hearts
