Spencer Cohen Series Book Four<\/span><\/p>\n

When Yanni Tomaras is kicked out of his family home, his parents\u2019 final words are religious insults and an order to never return. Homeless and desperate, he\u2019s lured in by Lance\u2014charming on the outside, an evil predator underneath\u2014who abuses Yanni until he finds the courage to leave. Yanni should feel free. But by the time Spencer Cohen finds him, he\u2019s resigned to being handed back to Lance and once again being caged by fear.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s 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\u2019s story.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d spent years as a bird, caged with my wings clipped, tormented and beaten. I thought I\u2019d escaped when I\u2019d 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\u2019s parents, opened the door to the cage that confined me. But it was Peter who taught me how to fly.\u201d<\/p>\n

120,000 words. Can be read as a stand alone.

**Please read the trigger warnings there are things mentioned in this book that may not be for everyone.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Yanni is basically just trying to survive each day. He’s tired of running. Tired of hiding. He has no choice though. If his ex ever finds him, he will more than likely kill him. Yanni is staying with Andrew’s parents, The Landons, while waiting for a room to come available. He is enjoying his time with them so much. Since his parents are no longer in his life, it is nice to have parental figures. And the Landons love him like one of their own and he is beyond grateful for that.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you’ve been paying attention, we met Yanni when Spencer found him for his ex, thinking he was doing good but soon found out that was not the case. Spencer is also the reason for Yanni and Peter meeting. The 2 meet up as friends for afternoon matinees and chats over coffee for a while and both find themselves wanting more with the other. Peter is so patient. Giving Yanni the time he needs to work through the trauma caused by his ex.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Some swoonworthy lines from Peter…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“What do you need right now? Do I give you some space rn or do I give you a hug? I dont want to get it wrong.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“I wanna hold you and tell you it’ll be okay but I dont want to scare you off.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Peter is also a Daddy looking for his Boy. Now normally that would turn me away from a story because its just not my thing. But this book is by N.R Walker. I’ve loved all the words I have read by them so I trusted the process and I’m so glad I did.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Yanni was broken before Peter. I don’t know that he could have fully healed without Peter. Peter makes Yanni whole. He is the other half of his soul and Yanni needed all of Peter to heal. Especially the Daddy side. This was a beautiful story.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
