In an epic love story caught between neon lights and shadowed pasts, two hearts collide.

Their souls are bound by secrets, passion, and the undeniable pulse of the 80's. Anthony Pacini is guarded, haunted, and desperate to break free. Chance Sullivan is a hotter-than-sin rebel running from a fate already written. Together, they're headed straight for heartbreak—or redemption.

Anthony Pacini: A college football player entering his final year at Arizona State. When he's not dominating the field, he's working at Devil Records, indulging his deep obsession with 80's music. Proudly Italian and a passionate cook, Anthony carries the weight of a traumatic past, making him guarded and firmly in denial about his true feelings and desires.

Chance Sullivan: Recently transplanted from Boston to Arizona, Chance seeks to forge a new path far removed from the life previously planned for him as a member of The Doves, an Irish organization with deep roots. Chance shares Anthony's fervent love for 80's music, and the moment he walks into Devil Records on his first day of work and locks eyes with Anthony, Chance is certain of one thing—he must have him.

King of Pain is a standalone with a happy ending. It is the first book in the Damaged Hearts series; each book will feature a different couple. Six novels are planned for the series.

This is a dual POV heartfelt MM romance with all 80's music vibes.

I just love a long book with a story worth hanging in there for! At the beginning, for a while there, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to get through to the end. It seemed like the story was going to drag out and the way it was going I thought I was going to have to DNF. But then, things took a big huge turn. My heart kinda turned with it and from that moment on, I was in it to the end. My point being, if you find your self many hours in thinking you might have to give up,don't. Hang in for the ride. I'm not much on epilogues as they are usually just ok. But Ants epilogue was so touching and heart warming. It was totally worth the ride this book took me on!
Overall I recommend this book if you like stories that are (mostly) realistic, slow burn, and span many many years.

I do not have the words to adequately express how much I loved this book. It made me laugh, cry, rage, but mostly it filled my heart with love and joy. I thought this book took me through every emotion when I read it with my eyes. It had NOTHING on the emotions Devon and Lance brought to life with their AMAZING narration. The didn’t just read Ant and Chance they became them! Did someone say Boston accent? It was perfect, natural and in no way overdone! Everything about this audiobook was absolutely PERFECT!

King of Pain is absolutely cathartic and beautiful. Each and every character was beautifully written and burrows right into your being, including the side characters. There are not many books I've read that touched me the way this one did! It is raw and painful, yet beautiful, and meaningful. I lost a little piece of my heart to this book. I will carry it with me forever.

This book is EVERYTHING and the AUDIOBOOK is just as AMAZING!

This Audiobook is my New Favorite! It's Incredible!
