Synopsis

Can a jaded porn star with a painful past and a shy nurse who’s been burned before learn to believe in themselves and find their happily ever after?

Rick Fowler enjoys his job as rising internet porn star Adam Swift, but it’s not exactly a career he can bring up on first dates. His few attempts at dating have all been disasters, so he’s keeping his head down and working on remaining sober. When his toxic, perma-cranky Uncle Gerard—the man who took Rick in when he was fourteen—needs round-the-clock care, Rick steps up.

In-home nurse Vinson Larrazzo is always up for a challenge. He definitely finds one in the rude Gerard Fowler—and Gerard’s shockingly gorgeous nephew Rick, who is just as grumpy. And since Vinson’s first priority is always his patient, he ignores his strong—and highly unprofessional—feelings for Rick.

But their chemistry is undeniable, and a snow storm gives them get the perfect chance to explore it. Vinson has faith they can make it work, but to have a future together, Rick needs to find enough faith in himself to own his mistakes and let go of the past—even if that means confronting his uncle about an incident that put Rick on his dangerous, damaging road to addiction. And the fallout of those secrets might be more than Rick’s relationship with Vinson can bear.

Review

A former bad boy is redeemed.

I love the Perspectives series and it just keeps getting better and better. I began reading this series in January of 2017 and I devoured the first three books in four days. The stories are about the models of Mean Green, an online gay porn studio.

I think we first met Rick in book two, The World As He Sees It, and boy was he an a-hole. We read a lot more about him in book three, The Heart As He Hears It and it wasn’t good. Now we finally get a chance to find out the reasons behind Rick being the way he was in those books.

Parts of Rick’s story in His Faith As He Finds It were very difficult to read. I don’t do spoilers so you’ll just have to trust me when I say there were some very good reasons why he was such and a-hole in the earlier books. A. M. Arthur does a wonderful job in telling Rick’s story and redeeming a character that no one probably liked at all in the previous books.

We also met Vinson, Rick’s love interest in this book, in The Heart As He Hears It when he was a nurse taking care of a man who was dying. While he didn’t have a big role, we learned a lot of his nature as a care-giver, something that also plays a large role in His Faith As He Finds It.

Now that I’ve mentioned earlier books numerous times, I should also let you know that you really don’t need to have read those stories to fully enjoy this one. While there are some references to things that happened in those books, His Faith As He Finds It is a complete story and you won’t feel like you’re missing anything if you haven’t read them.

I love it when a book makes me emotional and this one surely did that. The entire Perspectives series is fantastic and so is the Us series that is separate but connected. I highly recommend all of the books in these series. I can’t wait to read more about the characters from the Mean Green boys.

About Author

A. M. Arthur

A.M. Arthur was born and raised in the same kind of small town that she likes to write about, a stone’s throw from both beach resorts and generational farmland. She’s been creating stories in her head since she was a child and scribbling them down nearly as long, in a losing battle to make the fictional voices stop. She credits an early fascination with male friendships (bromance hadn’t been coined yet back then) with her later discovery of and subsequent love affair with m/m romance stories. A.M. Arthur’s work is available from Carina Press, Dreamspinner Press, SMP Swerve, and Briggs-King Books.

When not exorcising the voices in her head, she toils away in a retail job that tests her patience and gives her lots of story fodder. She can also be found in her kitchen, pretending she’s an amateur chef and trying to not poison herself or others with her cuisine experiments.
