Invitation to the Blues by Roan Parrish and Greg Boudreaux
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Eight months ago Jude Lucen fled his partner, his career, and a hospital in Boston after a suicide attempt. Now back in Philadelphia, he feels like a complete failure. Piano has always been his passion and his only escape. Without it, he has nothing. Well, nothing except a pathetic crush on the most gorgeous man he's ever seen.
Faron Locklear came to Philly looking for a fresh start and has thrown himself into tattooing at Small Change. He's only met Jude a few times, but something about the red-haired man with the haunted eyes calls to him. Faron is blown away by Jude's talent.
This lacked plot, tension, and character development. At least 75% of this audiobook is Jude telling and thinking he is worthless. I have patience with that and won't call it whining, maybe because the narrator was great.
There was no place in his head for thinking how great Feron was or planning to change his ways. And that makes this not an LGTBQ romance.
Another shortcoming was the long monologs. That is not natural speech.
