Healing the Twin

Written by Nora Phoenix

Narrated by Michael Dean

Everyone thinks they know me. Hell, I don’t even know who I am anymore.

We were at the top. Tomás and Tiago Banner, the most famous twins in the world. The sexiest men alive. My whole identity was rooted in being the older brother, in taking care of my twin, in being a model.

Until Tiago fell in love and left me on my own. Now I’m lost, drifting without an anchor. Hurting.

To remain close to my twin, I stay in Forestville, the small town we grew up in. I’ve got friends here, old ones and new. Like Fir, the adorable redhead who had a crush on me in high school. We reconnect, and I find myself sharing things with Fir I’ve never told anyone else.

When the budding friendship between us becomes more, I’m shocked. Fir is not the type for a fling, and I know nothing else.

Our lives couldn’t be further apart. I’m a celebrity, an eternal bachelor who’s always played the field. Fir is the local doctor, a single dad still grieving his deceased husband. He needs more than I could ever give him.

I have a choice to make. Can I become the man Fir deserves?

I’ve never wanted anything more.

Healing the Twin is the third book in the Forestville Silver Foxes series, a contemporary small-town MM romance series featuring hot silver foxes and the men who fall in love with them. Each book can be read as a standalone.

I really like this one. I gotta say, Tomás's story is way better than Tiago's. It's a standalone, but it's got some connections to Book One. If you know the background from Book One, it helps you understand Tomás's emotional struggles. But even if you haven't read it, I think you can still enjoy the love story between Tomás and Fir.

The book is called "Healing the Twin." You'd think it's all about Fir healing Tomás because Fir is the town doctor and Tomás is dealing with physical and emotional issues. But in fact, the healing goes both ways. Fir's got his own problems too. He's lost in the daily grind of work and being a single parent. This story is really about how two lonely souls find each other and become a perfect match. And yeah, there are some steamy sex scenes in there too.

Just like Tiago and Cas, Tomás and Fir have a big gap between them. Wealth, careers, experiences, social positions—you name it. But this time, the gap between the two main characters gets smoothed out through some excellent storytelling. Fir's past idolization of Tomás plays a big role in setting up the story. If it weren't for that idolization, the whole hook-up thing might never have happened. Oh, and when Fir brings up Tomás's past photo shoots from time to time, it's just so darn cute.

I also really enjoy the part where Tomás slowly falls for Fir without even realizing it. Even though he's pushing fifty, he's still taking baby steps towards independence and learning how to love. As a world-class top model, his adorable attempts to win Fir's affection just melt my heart.

Now, I gotta be honest, things get a bit boring and cheesy once the two main characters confess their love and start their romantic relationship.

I'm also a bit disappointed with the audiobook. I think it would've been way better if they switched the voices of Tomás and Fir. The low, deep voice just doesn't match the image of Fir in my mind.

Overall, it's a good book and worth recommending.
