Good story

I enjoyed Remnants very much. Once again Zachary Webber’s narration shines as he enhances the character with his acting skills.

a interconnected standalone

I was unaware this was one of several interconnected series, when info about other couples was shared I felt lost and on a info overload so that is a treat for fans who've experienced their stories before.

my loss of stars was because this held so much back and forth for the couple and with a incredibly sad twist, personally I wanted more from said twist.

narration was perfection as a personal prefference this howcased why dual narration is a favorite of mine.

And all at once we say AWEEEEE

I love both of these narrators and I will listen to pretty much anything they do. Add in on top of that one of my favorite authors and the last book in a great series. I call that an almost perfect mix. I love Sully and have from day one. To hear his HEA play out in my ears was absolutely fantastic.

I'm Ready For The Beach Are You?

Sloan had me wanting to listen to her story again while I either sit in a bookstore or at the library. Even better if there was a beach close by. Her story was one that you'll love to get lost in. And it doesn't hurt that we have a couple of narrators that I love to listen to. They did a great job at bringing this story to life.

Sully seems to fit his name - he seems a little sullen. He lets us see that he has a soft spot but doesn't want others to know. His past is a sore spot but it's come back to bite him in the a**. I liked how Mr. Webber and Ms. Laurel told us the story as a duet. It makes the experience more pleasant. As if we are actually hearing the characters talk to each other. All that was missing was the smell-a-vision.

Ms. Loraine creates characters that the reader can relate to. Each scene moves seamlessly as the story unfolds. She also will make you sad - especially if you are taking care of an elderly parent. There's no way you can't feel sorry for those involved. Our author includes a mystery but doesn't let it overtake everything else that's going on. Listening to a rekindling romance was a treat - just needed to get my chocolate.

I found myself wanting to know more about The Golden Beach series. Good thing that I realized that this can be considered a standalone because i have a lot of catching up to do - other people I want to meet and get to know. After enjoying listening to this one, I don't know that I would read the book. Having someone read to me added to my enjoyment and I think I'd like that to continue. And listening to Mr. Webber do a British accent - fan self.

I voluntarily reviewed an Audiobook copy of this book.

Holy plot twist!

I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed a second chance romance as much as I did this one. It was unpredictable, witty, emotional, and fast moving. I’m typically not a huge fan of dual narration, but I now realize it was because I was picking up the wrong audio. Lacy and Zach are an all-star pair! I enjoyed this so much, and I look forward to reading/listening to a lot more of Kim Loraine’s books!

Good second chance romance, great narration

This is a second chance romance and it was a beautiful set up. Sloan and Carson had a history- a great love, but that went south mostly because they were young and a bit immature (17 and 18). 15 years later, they met again and their love is still there but can they get past the hurt?

I felt so sad for the two characters- it was a bad situation, but it made it even more poignant when they got their HEA. Carson was the ultimate alpha male but his caring for his mother was so beautiful. I really loved that about him but their immature back and forth was a little too extended, leading to silly mistakes. (He especially, was pretty quick to walk away which was aggravating.

I listened to the audiobook and supplemented with the ebook. This narration is a duet which is my favorite way of listening to a romance because it makes it feel like a play. Zachary Webber was fantastic (as expected), especially when he affected an accent. It was beautifully spoken. I thought that Laurel was great- usually I find she is a bit too nasally (I find my issues with her difficult to describe!) but this pairing was pretty good, especially because the duet really helped it feel like a play and balanced out their sounds. This story is told in a third person format, which is odd, especially for a duet.

Sully and Sloan!

Kim Loraine has brought us Sully's (aka Carson Sullivan) story in Remnants. I love how he and Sloan reconnected after 15 years. Second chances at love are so rare, and with your soulmate its even better. This listen is full of so many emotions and endearing characters. I love the glimpses into other couples from Golden Beach, the sweetness Sully has for his mom, Zeus the dog, and the shocking twist in this book! I won't give away spoilers, but I never saw that coming. Both Zachary Webber and Lacy Laurel were brilliant in this book. I loved their distinguishable voices for various characters from Sloan, Sully, to the little kids, the British new neighbors, and everyone else. They brought them all to life with their voices and emotions. I could envision so many details in this book. I loved it! This may be my favorite Golden Beach book.

Angsty 2nd chance romance

Firefighter Captain, Carson ‘Sully’ Sullivan has only ever loved one woman...but she walked out of his life 15y ago. Now that she’s back, can he forgive the past hurt and become friends? Sloan Carmichael had to walk away from Carson all those years ago, except she thought that he would come after her...he never did. Now she’s back in Golden Beach to inherit her grandfather’s house and deciding to have a fresh start. She’s moved on with her life, after all she was married for a few years, but seeing Carson is a lot harder than she had anticipated. Can she make peace with her past and Carson?
We met Sully in earlier books and I was really looking forward to his story. There were so many emotional elements packed in this book that I was a sobbing mess! Yes, it’s that good and is worthy of many ‘relistens’!
