Told from the single POV of out and proud Broadway actor, Jonah, he’s surprised when he finds out he’s the heir to property in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
Jonah plans to leave New York only for as long as it takes to settle his uncle, Samuel’s, estate, but when he learns the estate includes a cemetery and he starts to fall for the gorgeous groundskeeper, Luka, Jonah finds himself with some hard decisions to make.
There were a few things that kept me from loving this – I was disappointed I didn’t find out what the feud was between Jonah’s mother and Samuel, the pacing was a bit slow, and I was hoping for some more levity or humor, but overall the story was a light listen made better for Joel Leslie’s narration.
Joel’s performance made the characters feel real and relatable and the setting feel authentic.
Buried Passions is a sweet romance with some character growth, a realistic setting, some insta-love with plenty of chemistry, and a very happy ending.
