5 stars for Joel Leslie. He did an awesome job here. Each character had their own voice.

3 stars for the story.

Collin came from a family who was well off. They had his future planned out. He was headed to Cambridge. That is until it all comes crashing down one night.

Patrick is the stable master. He has been working for Collin’s family for many years. He move from Ireland and had a nice life going in England. Until one night he is caught in an indecent act and his life is threatened.

Collin saves Patrick from death and they are both placed on a ship to be sent to an Australian prison. They have to rely on each other during the journey and when they arrive they have to do the same. Things get heated between the two during their time spent. However, it appears Collins feelings are much stronger than Patrick’s.

Single POV makes it harder to pick up on Patrick’s feelings for Collin. But not knowing Patrick’s feelings is the point I suppose lol. I really like the side characters in this story and was really rooting for Robbie and Emily.
