Damaged

By: Jeanne St. James

Narrated by: B.B. Franklin

Two scarred souls: one physically, one mentally. Both on the mend, hiding from their pasts....

Mace Walker can't wait to get home.

Being buried deep undercover for the past two years, on the most complex case of his career, has torn him down physically and mentally. Now the FBI agent has come home to recover after having his leg badly injured from a gunshot wound. Arriving home late one night, his relief is short-lived as he's faced with a stranger pointing a gun to his head, acting like he is the one who doesn't belong there!

Colby Parks, a biochemist at the local university, had come to town a year earlier to escape an abusive relationship. She vows never to put herself in that situation again.

Then the perfect opportunity comes along: housesitting for Mace's sister while making the house she purchased habitable. But she couldn't anticipate this big snag: the one wearing the tight Levi's and worn leather jacket, looking like he had just escaped prison.

Being forced to share a house creates sparks between them in more ways than one. However, things take a turn when their pasts catch up to them, threatening to pull them apart forever.

Note: This book was previously published under the title Banged Up but has been re-edited for this release.

Great story!

Damaged is a steam story about Mace an undercover agent and Colby a biochemist. Love the way the author brought these two together and the intense emotions they felt at that moment. The narrator really brought Mace and Colby's story to life. Great writing, believable characters and off the charts chemistry make this a 5-star book.

Great!

Loved the story and the characters. Great narrator too! I received a review copy of this audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Loved this story!

I loved the story and even got used to a woman narrate the male parts. Mace is an undercover cop back from a long mission. When he goes back home to his sister he finds Colby instead. She is courageous and doesn’t back down from burglars. She babysits his home. She has a dark past and he has secrets and enemies. Both have scorching chemistry. There’s suspense and action in Damage. I enjoyed listening to it very much. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great Listen

Another great book from Jeanne St. James. The story was awesome! I wasn’t totally crazy about B.B. Franklin’s narration, but the content of the book more than compensated. I have loved every book that I’ve read by this author,and look forward to reading more.

loved it

loved this story and loved the narration. hope to read/listen to more from this story. Loved Mace's character. Great romance with a little suspense to go with it

Damaged

This was another great story by this author! The chemistry between Colby and Mase was hot! They were perfect for each other. Both had danger in their pasts and were able to be supportive of one another and help each other move past everything they had experienced. There was some danger and suspense, as well as some steamy action between the two.

As for the narration, I thought the narrator's voice was pleasant to listen to. I felt she did well with Colby. However, she wasn't as convincing as the male voices of Mase or Martin. It wasn't as easy to distinguish between overall narration and Mase as it was to distinguish between overall narration and Colby. With that said, I still enjoyed listening to this story and would listen to another book by this narrator.
*I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Copy of this audiobook. This is my honest review.*

Great story...too much sex for me

I really wanted to like this more than I did. It seems to be the beginning of a great story. So much could happen and go wrong. Sadly the majority of this book was sex. Some is good so we can get the feel for the emotions of the character but too much just ruins it and takes away from the main story. Which was great by the way. Colby has a great job with an abusive past. He is an undercover FBI agent coming home to rest up after getting shot. Funnily the two are at the same house..he owns it. She is renting from his sister. So their first meeting was crazy as she thought he was an intruder. Each has a shady past that can rear its ugly head at any time.
I did listen to this On audio and BB Franklin did a nice job narrating. This is my first book by this author.

Damaged

Damaged is a steamy romantic suspense with lots of danger and hot chemistry. It kept me on the edge of my seat from the very beginning all the way until the end. I loved this book and the characters, but the only thing better would have been an epilogue. B.B. Franklin did a great job bringing this story to life. I received this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.

Hear 2 beautifully damaged characters come to life

Another amazing set of characters and story from Jeanne St. James! I loved that she called the book Damaged. Both Mace and Colby have been damaged, but not broken, from their pasts. That is an important distinction to make, and St. James does it so well. B.B. Franklin brings both Mace and Colby to life.

Mace just wants to spend time with the only person that knows and loves him unconditionally, his baby sister. As an undercover agent, he's been more than physically wounded, but it takes getting shot and almost losing a leg, to get him to step back and try to heal. Instead of finding his sister, he finds Colby and a loaded gun waiting for him. In his own house, no less.

Colby's story is one that is, unfortunately, all too believable and common. She found herself in a very unhealthy relationship she didn't know how to get out of soon enough. But that's in the past. She's learned to protect herself. AND she's not going to make the same mistakes again.

So what happens when two lost souls gravitate together? What happens when both of their pasts come calling? You'll have to read Damaged to find out.

This was so dang good!

This was such a good story! I loved every bit of Mace and Colby, from their first meeting to the hot and heavy scene's. This entire story pulled me in and I loved it!

B.B. Franklin did a great job bringing these two to life!
