Slick's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews 
 The third book in A.M. Arthur's Perspectives series is very good; it is emotional, complicated, endearing, and as always from this author, incredibly well written. While I didn't enjoy this one as much as I did the first two in this series, I wouldn't have missed it for anything. 
 Porn star Jon will do anything for Henry, the father figure in his life and the man he feels he owes so much to, so helping him track down the grandson he never knew he had is a no brainer. But what surprises Jon is the immediate connection he feels with the reclusive and damaged Isaac. I'll be honest that from the start I wasn't sure how Ms. Arthur was going to make this paring work. Both Jon and Isaac have some big time issues but Isaac's seem insurmountable; however she did an excellent job of letting us see their friendship develop over time, them begin to trust one another and eventually see them move to more. 
 There was a lot of feeling in this book at Jon broke down Isaac's barriers and as Isaac figured out how to help Jon deal with his own issues. And then there was Bear, a stray kitten that pushed Isaac into opening up his life to something other than himself and giving him a reason to want more. 
 What disappointed me in this book was a subplot that seemed almost out of place, it didn't flow well throughout the book and to be honest the added drama it brought wasn't necessary. 
 The Heart as He Hears It is an enjoyable and emotional story of two young men finding love despite the odds.
