    About this audiobook

    A 1920s Hollywood gay romance


    "Silent Sin delivers in spades with romance, drama, rich infusions of historical details, and a happy ever after worthy of the movies." --Joyfully Jay


    When tailor Marvin Gottschalk abandoned New York City for the brash boomtown of silent-film-era Hollywood, he never imagined he'd end up on screen as Martin Brentwood, one of the fledgling film industry's most popular actors. Five years later a cynical Martin despairs of finding anything genuine in a town where truth is defined by studio politics and publicity. Then he meets Robbie Goodman.


    Robbie fled Idaho after a run-in with the law. A chance encounter leads him to the film studio where he lands a job as a chauffeur. But one look at Martin and he's convinced he's likely to run afoul of those same laws—laws that brand his desires indecent, deviant... sinful.


    Martin and Robbie embark on a cautious relationship, cocooned in Hollywood's clandestine gay fraternity, careful to hide from the studio boss, a rival actor, and reporters on the lookout for a juicy story. But when tragedy and scandal rock the town, igniting a morality-based witch hunt fueled by a remorseless press, the studio brass will sacrifice even the greatest careers to defend their endangered empire. Robbie and Martin stand no chance against the firestorm—unless they stand together.

      This story is so real. The personalities are genuine, characters are likeable (really likeable) and plot has real growth and carries great meaning. I don't know much at all about early Hollywood but all of this worked with almost no need to suspend any disbelief. I think I'll listen to it at least one more time.

      This was the vibe of the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, but with two sweet men and a lovely romance arc. It was lovely and sweet, and I couldn't put it down. It got me right in the feels.
