About this listen
"It just figures that the first guy I'm bringing back to my place is cute, single, and totally off-limits...."
Sean Anderson has spent his life waiting to get the hell out of West Virginia. His plans got derailed when his dad shipped him off to "pray the gay away", but he's over it, ready to prove that he's a grown-ass man who can take care of himself. Of course, he'd have a better chance convincing himself if he could stop lusting after his grumpy roommate.
Army veteran Cooper Hill returned to Vermont minus one leg and one career, but determined to build a new life. When an army buddy asks Cooper to keep an eye on his nephew, a junior at the local college, Cooper can't say no. He's expecting a sheltered kid. What he gets is a gorgeous young man whose brilliant poetry gives voice to everything Cooper's been trying to express. He wants Sean more than he's ever wanted anything. And somehow, miraculously, Sean wants him too.
But wanting each other isn't the same as being good for each other...especially when past pain threatens to write its own verse in their song.
Contains mature themes.

Broody amputee is actually the wholesome teddy bear
This might be my favorite in the V&V series. Really candid and realistic exploration of queer identity and trauma. From the beginning chapters, you think you know these characters’ archetypes and how the story will go. But then a few crumbs are dropped and you realize you had it backwards. That leads to I think one of the best earned HEAs I’ve read. Will look for more from this author.

The title has nothing to do with the book
This book’s title should have been “Kissing Cooper”. The title “Heartsong” had nothing to do with the story, no one wrote or performed a song, one character played the guitar, but other than that, totally left field title.
I didn’t love the way that the author wrote the internalized homophobia. I get that it was relevant to Sean’s character, but some of the things he said and felt were quite unpleasant to read. I also felt like there were moments when the author gave more details to a scene for no real reason. The story moved slowly and yet kind of manically at times. The character Sean was constantly full speed ahead, or slamming on the breaks. I’m surprised Cooper didn’t get emotional whiplash.
I did like the disability representation with Cooper’s amputation. He was treated both with care, and like a fully capable man, and wasn’t wallowing about his lot in life, but just out there living it. There were things he recognized that he couldn’t do, and for those he’d ask for help instead of hurting himself to prove something.
