Kohan has a simple life but he’s happy. The only thing that’s missing is that special someone to come home to at night. That is until he literally bumps into Ares, a man who sparks his interest, but he rushes off before Kohan can talk to him. When he sees the stranger again, Kohan is determined that he's not going to let him escape this time.
What Kohan doesn’t know is he's falling for a guy that has been through more than he could ever imagine, and when Ares’ dark past catches up with him, there might be a chance that neither man will walk away unhurt.

We all dream of finding that one true love, the person who completes you, and when you find them you should hold on tight to them. But what happens when that dream turns into a nightmare, one that you can’t escape from? Ares is running from a past that almost cost him his life, a past that changed everything.
When he meets Kohan he’s scared of letting someone in, scared that history will repeat itself, but finally he sees that not everyone is out to hurt him. He sees that maybe someone could love him without causing pain.
But when the thing Ares is hiding from appears again, it takes him right back into that dangerous past and he doesn’t know if he will survive it this time.

My name is Ares, and the man I married is the person who will probably kill me.
I want to leave.
I want to escape.
I don’t want to die.
My name is Ares and I want Someone To Hear Me.

Please Note this book contains scenes of domestic abuse that some people may find uncomfortable.

5.0 out of 5 stars The emotional journey this book took me on was like no other
Reviewed in Australia on 29 June 2017
The emotional journey this book took me on was like no other.

Ayres and Kohan meet by chance and as the dark secrets in Ayres life unfold the story only gets better and better.

The way Kohan loves Ayres is unconditional. The kindness and patience he shows makes your heart melt, but will Ayres finally let someone in.....?

I was totally in awe of how this book was written. The author wrote about an extremely difficult subject, so how can I put it "nicely" that it was impossible to put down.

It had me in mixed emotions, laughing at the flirting and sobbing at the heart wrenching pages.

A brilliantly written book. The words just flowed so easily.
My first by T A McKay but certainly not my last.

Someone To Hear Me was a good read, and a little heartbreaking.

My heart broke for Ares and all he had been through and all he. went through at the end to protect those he loves.

Kohan was so good at reading how to be around Ares and how to read what he needed and I loved how protective he is.

2.0 out of 5 stars Almost fantastic
Reviewed in Australia on 31 December 2021

Besides the numerous spelling and grammar errors, and the fact that several lines and paragraphs were repeated, the first 80% was really great! I’m not sure if the identity of a certain person was supposed to be a twist or not but it was very predictable. I was happy to overlook all of this as it sucked me in and was a great story. It was shaping up to be a 4-5 star.
However, I don’t know what happened in the last 20% ??
The characters actions didn’t make any sense and it was super rushed, what should have been 200 pages squeezed into 50. Also, the bonus chapter should have been just a normal chapter at the end, not after the epilogue. That doesn’t make sense at all. And there are so many loose ends not tied up by the very end so I’m left with questions and wanting more- but not in a good way. Quite disappointed actually.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this and you'll be a better person - a more understanding one, more patient, more loving, more appreciative
Reviewed in the United States on 9 June 2017

Some books you read because they're fluff - they pick you up and make you feel good, happy, loving.
Some books you read because they're intense - nail-biting, making your heart beat faster, making you sweat.
And then there are books like this one - brutal yet brilliant, sad yet beautiful, heartbreaking yet filled with hope. Ares will simultaneously break your heart and fill you with awe - awe at his strength, awe at his courage, awe at his ability to not only survive but still be a functioning (albeit somewhat broken) human being. And Kohan, dear, sweet Kohan - what a beautiful knight in shining armor, what a beacon of hope, what an amazing (although not perfect) man.
This is a tough read, I will say that. But when you think about the Ares' of the world - the real men (& women) who endure brutality at the hands of the one who supposedly loves them.....aren't a few tears from you a small price to pay? Damn right they are - and you'll not only feel better when you make it to the end....you'll be a better person - a more understanding one, more patient, more loving, more appreciative.
How can you not be?

Someone to hear me,
with a title like that l knew l would need tissues,it was such an emotional read,
there was so much pain , so much courage and so much suffering.

Ares was like a fragile flower, his confidence completely destroyed,
his body bearing witness to the abuse he suffered at the hands of someone he loved.
Scared and lonely, he struggles to live a life that he wishes.
Until you learn about what he had to live through, you then realise he is a survivor.

Kohan is sweet and kind and easy going, not having that special someone in his life,
his best friend Sophie is loyal and funny, totally without any filter,
together with his big loving family and his job he is content with his life.

An accidental trip has Ares stumbling into his life ,
like a hurricane his life is turned upside down,as he tries to befriend this enigmatic man.
Nothing prepares him for the reality of Ares, as he tries to gently coax him out of hiding.
With a strong attraction, and lots of sexual chemistry
these two try to navigate the choppy waters of a life filled with fears of all kind.

This story is not an easy read, l felt so many different emotions,
knowing that there are people suffering like that daily is a horrible feeling.
l loved Kohan with his endless patience and Ares with his strength and ability to love again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellently written, powerful and emotional, but could use some better editing.
Reviewed in the United States on 2 June 2017

First of all, this was excellently written. The emotions came through so well. It was heart wrenching to read what Ares had been through. It was heart wrenching to be inside his head when he was doubting himself, thinking he was nothing and was not worthy of anything good in his life. Being in Kohan's head was powerful as he got to know Ares and worked to help their friendship grow.

Poor Ares is just trying to move on with his life after escaping his abusive husband and putting the man in jail. He meets Kohan, who just wants to be his friend and help him fight his inner demons. The two have their ups and downs, eventually becoming more than friends. Kohan is the perfect friend right from the start. He's there for Ares, not flinching or running when Ares reveals parts of his past. Kohan is understanding, attentive, and listens without judgement. A good ending, after they go through a few days of hell.

Although this was a good book, the typos kept bogging me down, and this is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. There were two spots in the book where an entire paragraph was repeated! What person/people edited this? There are words missing as well (although I know some of that is the way the British language is), and then there are missing endings on words for past tense, present tense, and it's 'they rolled the stretcher PAST me', not PASSED me. Sorry to be nit picky, but those types of things should have been found by the editors (especially the repeated paragraphs!).

Bruises, and scars are what cover his body! But the broken man inside is what destroys Ares soul! Years Ares stayed with is husband who physically and mentally abused him trying to find the love he so desperating wanted but the last time he tried to kill him Ares finally left! Now he is broken and after so long afraid of everyone decides to at least get out and get a job at night! Then he runs into Kohan and something about him makes Ares want to open for the first time! He wants to have a friend! Someone to finally trust. Someone that can hear him even though hearing has been taking from him!
Kohan sees Ares as the strongest man ever for what he has been through! Even though what Ares needs is a friend, Kohan can't help but fall in love with him and wants nothing more than to protect him!
Broken man who wants to love and man who will do everything in his power to be the strength that he needs!
