Parker Sawyer fell into my life like a bomb. The first sight of her hit me like an explosion, changing everything.

My mind, my heart, my life. The goals I thought I had and the dreams I thought I wanted.

Nothing was the same after Parker.

The night I fell in love with her, I let her get away. This time, there's no escape.

Parker can run but she won't get far. This time I have a plan. By the time this is over, I'll have the one thing I've wanted all these years.

Parker will finally be mine.

Good story, the female narration is not so great.

The story is good and I love this series, but the female narration is almost unlistenable. She is the same with every character. The cadence and the way she reads is almost like fingernails on a chalkboard. I really can’t stand her narration…makes me want to not listen to any books she narrates.

Action packed with great plot twists!

**Audiobook Review**

“Rebel Heart” is an action-packed and heartfelt story that has all kinds of plot twists that kept me listening as I fell in love with Nash and Parker’s second chance at love.

When Nash and Parker meet, it was almost an instant love for them. But one thing stood in their way, Parker was marrying Nash’s brother, Tyler. Nash and Tyler have never been on good terms and he is instantly not happy that his brother is marrying Parker. Fast forward six years later, Parker is ready to leave Tyler after too many lies. Nash comes to help her. Parker, however, needs to live on her father’s estate to fulfill the terms of his will so she can get her inheritance. But through a work connection, the two are brought back together. And Tyler is not happy about it.

This story pulled me in from the beginning and had so many twists and turns that I could not stop listening. It’s not a weird love triangle, it’s about two people finding each other at the wrong time under different circumstances. Nash is the good guy who you would want in your corner and will always have your back. I loved how he was instantly there for Parker and never tried to push her into anything she wasn’t emotionally ready for. I loved Parker from the beginning and how hard she worked to stand on her own two feet again after leaving Tyler. And her rebuilding her relationship with her family was special.

Joe Arden and Lucy Rivers were so great as Nash and Parker. Their characters are emotional and they did such an amazing job bringing all the events to life. Joe Arden was great as the growly protector and Lucy Rivers portrayed Parker perfectly.

Nash and Parker are 🔥🔥🔥

“The day my brother got married was the worst day of my life.” - Nash

This story was performed by, Joe Arden (Nash) and Lucy Rivers (Parker), and together they delivered a 🔥 performance that had me listening well into the night! 🫠

This is a second-chance romance with suspense, plot twists, angst, and steamy moments between two people who battle to defy fate.

Nash first meets Parker on her wedding day when she is about to marry his brother, the man she believes is her forever love. There is an instant attraction and a chaste exchange between Parker and Nash that neither can forget......

After a few years of marriage, Parker learns that her husband isn’t the man she thought he was and turns to Nash for help to return home to her family's safety at Sawyers Bend.

Will Parker find her one true love? Will Nash win the battle to do the right thing?

Well, I won't kiss and tell!! 😉

I confess I was a newbie to Ivy Layne’s work, but not anymore! Book 4 of the Hearts of Sawyers Bend series, Rebel Heart, has me hooked and burning up the pages of the other books in this fantastic series!

Having not read the earlier books in the series didn't hinder my reading/listening pleasure; however, I've read other reviewers recommend starting at book 1 to fully immerse yourself with all of the characters that feature in the series.

Caution: This series is an addiction of the heart so get ready to “just one more chapter” your way into the night!

“Nash had saved me. More than once” - Parker

Love it

I loved the Siri I can’t. I can’t wait for my books to come out. All of ivy lane books are great.

Loved Nash and Parker!

Rebel Heart by Ivy Layne was a suspenseful and steamy romantic ride that captivated my heart from start to finish. Parker and Nash have a pretty complicated love story, but when they finally overcome the challenging obstacles and find a way to be together indeed, the sparks do fly! This is book four of The Hearts of Sawyers Bend Series but can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

Joe Arden and Lucy Rivers narrate this audiobook and are both spot-on bringing Parker and Nash to life. Joe's performance of Nash was charming and protective which of course made him swoony and hard not to fall for. Lucy did a great job portraying all of Parker's vulnerabilities, past pain, and determination to start fresh and love Nash. Both narrators did a great job showcasing Nash and Parker's undeniable chemistry.

Overall, I enjoyed this audiobook! It was full of suspense, danger, spice, and of course a HEA that made my heart happy. I'm looking forward to more from Ivy Layne.
