Audiobook
Publisher’s Synopsis:
Nikolas and Ben discover that bonds aren’t forged with blood or scars, but in the hearts of men strong enough to love. Siberia in winter isn’t a place for good men. There is nothing Nikolas won’t do to keep Ben alive. Nikolas has exorcised his demons, but when they end up stranded in Russia, the monster inside needs to be let loose. Ben discovers the truth of the adage, “be careful what you wish for”!
Nikolas then faces an enemy he can’t defeat: Ben Rider himself. Discovering a new family, Ben realizes he’s been living too long in the shadows cast by Nikolas’s all-consuming love. For the first time, life apart from Nikolas is possible.
Is Nikolas strong enough to let Ben go?

Rellim’s Thoughts:
The Bridge of Silver Wings is the third book in Wiltshire’s More Heat Than the Sun series. These books follow the same couple and each book builds off some events from previous ones. While this is a complete story and could be enjoyed on it’s own, I’d definitely recommend starting with Love is a Stranger. It’s possible this review contains spoilers to earlier books.
This is my favorite of the series so far. I think because, while they still have a few misunderstandings, Nik & Ben’s relationship is fairly solidly established. So I got to enjoy them even more as a couple. They both have a LOT of baggage and their communication skills aren’t always the best – so there’s still some things to work through, but it doesn’t take over the story as it did in some of the past books. There is a MAJOR shift and I literally hollered out loud in delight. You’ll know when you get to it.
Again, Wiltshire gives us multiple stories in a single book. Survival takes on a new meaning and unseen dangers far beyond the tsunami in Conscious Decisions of the Heart. At the same time, Wiltshire’s humor shines through and I couldn’t help but laugh several times throughout the book.
I’m loving this series and can’t wait to continue.
Narration:
Gary Furlong. Still awesome. I cannot get over how seamless his narrations are. Wiltshire has a complicated text full of various accents, voices, and emotions. While the other books are all out in ebook form, I’ll be waiting for the next audiobook (which I think are scheduled for this Summer) because I cannot fathom experiencing Nik & Ben without Furlong’s performance.
I received a free copy of this audiobook from Decent Fellows Press and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
