About this listen
Luke Jensen lived on the wrong side of the tracks all his life, but that never stopped him from realizing his dream and making it a reality. Now, the king of the street racing scene, he finally has everything he wants and he won't let anyone take it away from him.
Violet Barnes lived a sheltered life growing up, never fitting in except in the books that she loved. After losing her parents, she forges forward, creating her own little world, content in being alone.
When Violet stumbles into Luke's shop, sparks fly but neither can let go of the hard lessons they learned growing up.
Will Violet give Luke a chance to prove he's not just another gear head? Or will Luke write Violet off before they even have a chance to see that they both need to let go of their past, and focus on the future?
Due to sexual content and profanity, this book is recommended for ages 18+.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 25
An innocent girl like Raelynn should’ve never tracked down Playboy. His name alone should’ve been a red flag waving in her face, but she needed help. A lady's man like Playboy should have locked the door on Raelynn the second she knocked. The way she looked at him like he hung the stars should have set him running, but he always took what he wanted. Raelynn is looking for a hero, not just a tumble in the sheets. Playboy isn’t anyone’s hero.

After a horrible marriage, Haggard has zero plans of ever finding a woman again. One-night stands not counting, he adores his life as a single man. There are no expectations. No "where are yous" and "are you coming homes". The life he chooses to live is a simple one. Until he makes a huge mistake, and he steps over that line between "daughter’s best friend" and "a woman he desperately wants". Before long, he can’t stop thinking about her. Can’t stop wanting her. Can’t stop feeling things for her that a man 20 years her senior should never feel for a girl he watched grow up.

Abel LeBlanc, better known to his brothers as Riggs—president for The Kings of Retribution MC, Louisiana Chapter. As a former Green Beret, he runs the club with the same amount of precision and grit he did serving his country. Dedicating years of his life to mercenary missions, and to his club, left no time or desire to settle down and start a family of his own. What good could come of loving a woman if he could never promise her forever, when he willingly puts his life on the line every day? No one has ever come close to making him want more. No one until Luna.

Running away from home at 17 wasn't easy. Let's face it, though, nothing before or in the ten years since has ever been easy for me. And I'm doing okay—sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people's way, off people's minds. When a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home and my life, I should be scared, frightened, terrified. I must be more broken than I realized because I'm none of those things. I'm intrigued—and I'm wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.

Then fate dumped a raven-haired beauty in my lap, and all hell broke loose.

I loved , adored, and enjoyed every moment of this book. I’m going to be honest and admit that I have read this book twice before, hearing it was fantastic. I did wish there was a male for the male parts, that being said... Jessica Eastwick was a great narrator, kudos for taking on both female and male characters.

Narrators midwestern accent is too much!
Book is ok but the narration is subpar. The narrator has potential but she needs more practice and elocution lessons to loose her strong accent. Also she can’t do a male voice and it’s hard to figure out which character is talking. Skip this one one audible, maybe try to find it in an ebook.

Great Story, Terrible narration and recording.
I really liked the story, but the narration was terrible. I listened to the first book and wasn't too impressed with the narration so I though this one would be better and unfortunately it was worse. I recommend you read it on your own. It's a great story with a tiny touch of spice.

Fantastic
Had me smiling and laughing a lot of the time. Narrator was good though sometimes I had to back track on the male parts as her voice didn’t change enough. Would’ve been great as a duet but this narrator was nice to listen to her voice one of the better women narrator. I wish the other books had her instead. Enjoyed and so worth the credit.

AN OKAY LISTEN.. BUT SADLY IMO NOTHING SPECIAL
Violet is a Librarian, she lives alone in an apartment block full of elderly people, her parents are dead and she doesn't have friends.. so when a 14 year old student called Frankie, who has been a daily visitor to the Library, needs a lift home because her busy oldest brother Luke had forgotten to pick her up yet again - Violet steps in and takes the stranded girl home. However, instead of being grateful Luke isn't happy.. and, due to a misunderstanding, he misjudges Violet and callously shows his contempt and dislike for her.. which lasts for their first few meetings - but then things change and Luke begins to see her in a new way.
Luke and his two brothers run the busy Skid Row Kings Garage, they all live together and they are heavily involved in Street Racing with Luke being the driver. He's trying to juggle everything and he doesn't appreciate a stuck up Librarian interfering in his, and his sister's, lives. But, through various heated encounters, Luke soon realizes he may have totally misread and misjudged Violet.
I don't know what happened but early into the story I lost my connection to both the hero and also the heroine who had started out as enemies slamming doors, badmouthing each other and speeding off from one another. But, after their third or fourth encounter, the plot did a 180 degree turn as Luke saw his mistake and then they couldn't keep their hands off each other and shortly after that they were in love. For me, there was nothing exciting here, no riveting plot, no likeable main characters, a bit of angst and drama with a reckless aunt and a bitchy rival but no moving scenes depicting two people in love.. just no depth to the story. I also didn't feel any chemistry between the h/h and I was underwhelmed with the sex scenes too. Dual POV's and good narration.
Worth a credit? I'm sorry but I have to tell it like I felt it and sadly Luke and Violet's love story was a very light contemporary romance, it's not memorable and I wouldn't wish to visit it again. So, for all those reasons and that there are far far better and much much 'meatier' listens out there, I personally opt for no don't spend your hard earned credit on this.. but perhaps a $4.95 sale purchase. But hey, at the time of writing this, three other people have given it 5* so what do I know!!?

The women in Winter Travers books are the best!! my only comment is I really wished they had a man do the man parts.
