Renovation

Golden Beach, Book 2

By: Kim Loraine

Narrated by: Susan Fouche

Valerie Peters is done with bad boys and ready to start living for herself. She's determined to settle for nothing less than a romantic, sweeps-you-off-your-feet, nice-guy. So when a sexy firefighter with the hottest reputation in town saves her from near-drowning, there's no doubt he's everything she shouldn't want.

Donovan's looks and image have kept his nights entertaining and his ring finger empty. One-night stands serve as a short-term distraction to the flashbacks of his past he increasingly struggles to ignore. But a chance encounter with his best friend's sister makes him realize that one night is no longer enough.

Together, they discover that bad can actually be the best and forever is worth everything.

Wow!!

I loved this book! The story is realistic, full of hope and emotions, plus some heart wrenching feelings. The author Kim Loraine is very talented. This book is the second in a series, but is a standalone. Characters from the previous book are woven into this one. My review is not a synopsis of the book, but rather my opinion of it. I was voluntarily provided with this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, narrator, and/or publisher. I thought the narrator Susan Fouche did an excellent performance . She captured the emotions well in her delivery.

Hot firefighter need I say more

Would you consider the audio edition of Renovation to be better than the print version?

Loved the narrator why of bring these characters alive.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

This story will make you want to finish before you. Stop listening

Loved the story

I really enjoyed the story and Valerie is a great character and Donovan is a hunky fireman that just wants to prove he can be a good man. The only thing I didn't like was the narrators voice for the main character. She tried to make it higher pitched and it was slightly annoying but I enjoyed the story enough to continue listening.

This one is worth checking out

Any additional comments?

Well written story that keeps you listening. The narrator carried the story and characters through nicely and was a pleasure to listen to. I don’t usually listen to books in this category, but will be looking for more from this author in the future.

* I was given a free copy of the book from AudiobookBlast dot com in exchange for a fair and honest review.

A beautiful story of two broken souls finding love

Kim Loraine weaves a beautiful story of two broken, guarded souls who together go through the struggles of learning to open their hearts and let someone in.

Valerie and Donovan each have been through their own painful traumas and suffering s that make it difficult to trust in each other and fully give of themselves. We feel their pain, their heartache, the struggles they face trying to overcome their hidden truths and demons. Neither want to admit out loud their suffering and the cause, leading to hurt feelings and misdirected anger. Many times I wanted to grab and shake each one and yell at them to just open up and trust in each other! Throw in a devious ex who won’t stop and a twist at the end that throws their world upside-down and you have on heck of an emotional romance.

As with the first book in this series, this is well-written with great character development. Characters you fall in love with. A realism to them that makes you feel connected to them, makes you root for them. I’m looking forward to reading more in this series!

Omg

I love this story one of my fave made me happy and cried all at the same time

I can't get enough of this series!

I'm so glad this is Valerie's story. I love this series. This book does have a different narrator from the first but both narrators have done a wonderful job. Can't wait to start the next book.I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Loving this Unique Series

Any additional comments?

Loving this Unique Series. I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review. I'm only on the second book in this series and already loving the unique characters and story-lines. This writer is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. The narrator for this second audiobook in the series is different from the first book and his a new performer that I haven't experienced before, yet I am enjoying her work. I'm excited to listen to the remaining two audiobooks in the series that are available, and hope they don't take too long to release the last two books to audible.

Renovation

We get to see some secondary characters in the first book of this series find their happy ever after after some thought and confusing times for each of them. My heart broke for what they were both going through and yet annoyed since they wouldn’t open up to each other! A great kind of book when it pulls out emotions like that.

A Good Book

Where does Renovation rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I wasn't really in the mood to listen to a Romance book when I listened to this one so I would not be a fair ranking.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Renovation?

My original review disappeared so I can't remember. I liked how she became a swimming instructor and worked with the handicap.

Have you listened to any of Susan Fouche’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
