About this listen

Nate is a professor at the university, content with his life, his job, and his partner David. But when he jumps in to defend a student under attack and is injured himself, Nate becomes a leader in the campus movement to end sexual assault. When David doesn’t understand his militant reaction, Nate feels abandoned and betrayed, and begins to question their relationship.

David's love for Nate is deep and true, but he can’t support Nate’s confrontational stance, fearing that the consequences will destroy his career. Forced to choose between his love for Nate and his own sense of what’s right, David feels trapped in a hopeless impasse.

Colin, an Irish Sergeant in the campus police force, is a legend on campus. A fierce protector of assault victims, he is merciless in pursuit of their assailants. When he meets Joshua, a Title IX consultant, sparks fly, and their relationship quickly becomes passionate.

Joshua wants more from Colin, much more, but Colin clings to his independence, fighting against his feelings for the soft-spoken psychologist. When Colin’s past comes back to haunt him, an explosive quarrel sends Joshua home without a word. Will Colin care enough to seek him out?

It would take a miracle to resolve these issues and bring these men together.

Love's Magic is a gay romance featuring two couples, who will both find their HEA.

A Great Story

This is the first book in The Revolutionary Heart Series. A great book with good writing. The plot was entertaining and it was steady throughout the book. I found the story and characters interesting. The characters were developed and thought out. This is a story with 2 couples Nate & David and Colin & Joshua are the MC’s of this book. All of the characters need to learn how to communicate better and thus brings on frustration and angst. The narration was good and enjoyable. I can recommend this book as a good read/listen. I voluntarily read an advance copy of this book for an honest review.

Makes You Think!

Four Hearts, Many Truths, Two Romances, One Story

Nate & David and Colin & Joshua

Life can be funny sometimes. For some, life is all about fate, and destiny. For others, it is simply chance, and happenstance. While still more feel perhaps it's a mixed bag. You were destined for one thing, then something crossed your path during your life's journey to alter your course. So rather than take the left you were "meant" to, you veer right and a whole different path is laid before you.

This is the story of two couples. One already in a committed relationship and one yet to meet at the outset.

Our first couple, both professors at a college in Virginia, live a simple fairly happy life together with the day to day trivialities that grate. Nothing too spectacular to fuss or worry over with the exception of a rift between Nate and the professor over him.

After a traumatic event where Nate stopped an assault on a female he quickly became the target.

Our second couple meet only because one is the police officer investigating the event, and he must liaise with a Title IX officer, regarding the various assaults on campus.

******************************

Through a series of events, meetings, and uncovering truths, the characters in the story find links between themselves, and within themselves that would not have been there had this event not taken place.

Relationships were built, some strengthened, some tested, some destroyed, others resurrected. In it all, beyond the romance are hidden truths that no matter who we are as individuals, we always bring bits and pieces of others with us into our current relationships. Ghosts from the past, so to speak, that are either good for us or keep us bound, but rarely if ever are there just two people inside of a coupling.

This story was complex, and honestly confounded and upset me at times. It made me do some introspection and make a few mental notes concerning a couple of things that hit pretty close to home for me personally.

Both the story and narration were well done.

Sweet, heartfelt and entertaining!

This is book 1 in the revolutionary hearts series and can be read as a standalone.

This was a sweet romance featuring two couples, David and Nate, and Colin and Joshua.

Nate is strong willed and passionate about everything he does. He was brave and courageous to stand up for himself and the people around him.
I was disappointed in David at first for not supporting him and pulling away when he needed him the most. But looking at it from his perspective, I can relate to where he was coming from. I was happy that he redeemed himself in the end and helped Nate and his students.

Joshua and Colin were absolutely adorable and it was nice seeing their young romance blossom.

Overall this was a poignant, heartfelt and captivating romance! The characters were likeable and well fleshed out. The plot was compelling and kept me engaged.

Walker Williams's narration was smooth, seamless and highly entertaining.

I definitely recommend this if you like a sweet, opposites attract romance paired with medium angst and all the feels.

A really good start to a new series

This is a new to me author as well as a new to me narrator. The story follows an established couple Nate and David. They are both professors at the same college. One evening Nate is stabbed while saving a student from being attacked. We then meet Colin who is campus police who is investigating the incident and then almost immediately meet Joshua. Colin is basically a man-whore and I didn't like his whole outlook that he doesn't want a relationship. And even though they are not really in a committed relationship, I didn't like Colin thinking about him still seeing other men while he is with Joshua. I also hated the fact that Colin does hook up with guys when he supposedly figures out he is in love with Joshua, after Joshua leaves. When Colin finds out that Joshua has left, he realizes what he has lost. I also didn't like David not standing up with Nate in the beginning and he keeps shoving it in Nate’s face that he is putting his place with the University at jeopardy. Your partner, whom you love, was attacked and could have been killed, why weren’t you the one leading the charge! I'm glad that Joshua walked away from Colin when Colin was not able to make a commitment. I'm not sure if I could have forgiven Colin for all the nasty things he said to Joshua right before he left. But in the end, Nate and David do find their solid HEA and Colin and Joshua in a pretty good place.

Overcoming obstacles and finding love

Two wonderful couples trying to live their lives and do their jobs, but life happens and throws them curve balls and past baggage rears up to add complications! Touching, poignant, and heart rending at times. Fox was a thorn in my side and a manipulative weasel whom the narrator nailed perfectly. I appreciated each character's commitment to their beliefs. The narration greatly added to my enjoyment of this story.

Very good

Thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook from a new to me author and a new to me narrator! The characters were well developed and the plot was well thought out and interesting! A bit angsty, which I love...and a novel that truly drawns the reader in. I thought the narrator did a super nice job too and will be looking forward to listening to more of his work in the future!

MAGNIFICENT LOVE STORY

This is a beautiful story Narrated by WALKER WILLIAMS whose voice is mesmerizing and beautiful to listen to. This is my first audio book and I truly enjoyed it. This is the introduction by JANICE JARRELL to her REVOLUTIONARY HEART SERIES. In this story we get to meet David and Nate first. They are professors at a prestigious college in Virginia. Then we get to meet Colin, who is a campus police officer. Josh is a Title lX administrator who works for the college. He is the advocate for the students who have been assaulted. He will work closely with Colin. When these two meet, fireworks go off. Neither think working so closely together and having a personal relationship is a good idea. But how long can they resist. This is a magnificently written story about love, finding love and how to hang on to it. It's beautifully crafted and I so enjoyed listening to it. Janice Jarrell did a wonderful job with choosing Walker Williams to lend his talent and beautiful voice to this project. Bravo to YOU both for a wonderful job!!! I HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!!!!!

Wonderful

This was a new to me author and narrator, to say they did an excellent job would be an understatement. Besides the insta love aspect the plot was so real and the way she dealt with a very current issue made it even more relatable. I especially liked the way she told two different couples story from each POV, the flow was seem less so that I didn’t get lost at all. The narrator was great at giving each character a different sounding voice which also made it easy to follow and enjoyable. Also for those who like heat you won’t be disappointed.

This is a wonderful true to life story about two couples, Nate and David, and Joshua and Colin. They all work at the same university and when tragedy strikes they have to find a way to come together, overcome their differences and work together to find a solution for the betterment of the students and themselves.

I highly recommend this book and look forward to the next.
