About this listen
Rocko earned and loved his reputation as the wild child of the rock band, Carter’s Creed. His bandmates dubbed him Animal, not only for his skills on the drums, but because he was always looking for the next thrill. Sex, drugs, and rock and roll were what he lived for. That was until one night when his wild ways nearly cost him his life.
As the owner of Golden Entertainment Studios, Lachlan Edwards had a vested interest in his newest clients, the members of the band, Carter’s Creed. He wasn’t surprised when they quickly rose to the top of the music charts, given their talent, but he was concerned with how their drummer, Rocko, seemed to be spiraling out of control. When Rocko seemingly hits rock bottom, Lachlan decides to step in and offer him a chance to recover.
Will Rocko accept Lachlan’s offer even if it means facing the past he’s tried so hard to run away from, or will it all prove to be too much and send him spinning out of control once again?

Story
The job at Sunday Orchard was supposed to be temporary. A chance to gain some work experience, to have some fun. I had not expected to be welcomed into a family of gorgeous and weirdly efficient lumberjack-types, or to find purpose in the tiny Vermont town whose claim to fame seemed to be apple-based products and copious amounts of charm. And I most definitely hadn’t expected to fall for Knox Sunday, my grumpy, burly, fifteen-years-older, reluctant roommate, with his infuriating lectures, his hot-as-fire body, his superior attitude - I’ve never been one to put down roots.

Five years ago, I gave my heart and soul to my professor. He made me fall for him, only to destroy me with his silence. I've never been the same. I finally have the chance to leave this town, start over, and try to move on with my life. But what happens when fate insists the chapter of your life that haunts you isn't over?

Story
Conor: It starts with a drunken text pic. The kind I would normally never send. Only, instead of it going to the flirty hotel bartender, it goes to some random stranger who actually responds. Wells: The first thing I notice about Conor Newell when he sits down in my high-rise conference room is how delightfully nervous he is. Then I see his tie. The same geeky tie that’s held hostage on my phone. The one that belongs to my anonymous late-night texter. And it changes everything.

Nervous about jumping back into the dating world, they accept a friend’s invitation to attend a swap party.

Story
Charles Preston Carmichael is the most infuriating man I've ever met. I want to sock the golden boy of college hockey right in the mouth. He enjoys telling me everything I'm messing up—publicly. And since he's my roommate for the next year, I can't avoid him. Yet there's something about him that makes me watch him. Something dark. A secret I want to uncover. When he returns from a weekend away, broken and haunted, I can't keep my distance anymore. He needs someone, and I'll be damned if it's not me.

Story
My path to success never included an enemy as a teammate, especially one as infuriating as Quinton de Haas. Clawing under my skin is his favorite pastime, only feeding the animosity between us as the years pass. We’re as completely opposite as two people can be; the golden boy and the black sheep. Constantly at odds or at each other’s throats. The only thing we can agree on is hockey is our true love, and we’ll do whatever it takes to come out on top. I never imagined that drive would lead me to do the unthinkable: falling into bed with my not-so-straight rival.

Harrison Phillip Fletcher III isn't supposed to be here. Not in Burlington, Vermont, not running Vino & Veritas, a quaint inclusive bookstore and wine bar, and definitely not still alive, at 42. Also not supposed to be here? An unexpected delivery of chickens. Finn Barnes knows chickens. The burly organic farmer knows all about rare breed poultry, but dealing with a hot older bookseller is an entirely different matter. City-slicker types like Harrison never end up staying in Vermont for the long-term. They should steer clear of each other. But the flare of attraction is mutual.

Tia Monroe was smart, sassy, and successful. Sure, she could get a little crazy at times - life around Tia was never boring - but that was part of her appeal. And while she didn't see herself as classically beautiful, she had no shortage of options in the boyfriend department. She just hadn't found one who held her interest. Until she laid eyes on Eric Larsson, and then it was lust at first sight. He packed the perfect mix of smoldering sexy and unapologetic cool into his blond-haired, blue-eyed, ridiculously hot six-foot-four frame.

Mav disappeared before I could ever tell him about the child I carried. I’ve had years to get over him, and I’ve tried. But the second I see him again my heart lurches and it’s like all that time evaporates. I still burn for him, even though I know it’s a bad idea. I try to remind myself about the bad things: his possessiveness, his quick temper...but he’s different now. More mature. Protective. Settled. And hiding something. Something bigger than the child we share.

Story
I left him behind because I had no choice.... That's what I keep telling myself, but it doesn't make it any easier to sleep at night...or to drown out the words he kept repeating over and over the day we'd met: I just want to go home. That was eight long years ago and I'd only known him as Billy, a terrified 14-year-old I'd had to leave behind to save someone else. But his name wasn't Billy and he's no longer a frightened kid lost in a world where he was nothing more than a possession.

Story
Breaking news: The bad boy of baseball, Maddox Paige, is totally and utterly whipped. Okay, that might not be the headline in the newspaper this morning, but it's the reality of my current situation. It all started a month ago when I received a call from my best friend, Kinsley. She’d gotten a new job in Chicago and needed a place to stay. I've known the girl since I was five, so I figured there wouldn't be any harm in having her stay at my place for a while. Ha! Total disaster.

Loved!
I loved listening to Michael Pauley bring Rocko and Lachlan to life so beautifully! This story is full of emotion and recovery and healing, and Michael does a fantastic job of conveying the emotions and feelings of each character. I quite enjoyed the evolution of Rocko and Lachlan’s relationship over the course of the book, though it isn’t easy for them. They truly have to work for their HEA, but the journey is well worth it. Definitely recommend both the story and audio, and the rest of the series too!

Loved It A Lot
I loved how it ended and can't wait to see what happens with Riley and Lachlan. I can't wait for the next book Morgan and Akio hoping it will be out on audible soon.

So Emotional
I've been loving the Souls of Chicago series and they just seem to pack that much more of an emotional punch in audio. Michael Pauley did an amazing job bringing Annabella's words to life. Rocco/Riley really pulled at my hear strings. He was such a lost soul, never feeling like he was good enough for anyone. Lachlan was just as much a lost soul with his own damaged heart from his loss of family. What I loved most about Lachlan was his dedication to everyone in his life. He truly put everyone before him. But, most of all I loved his honesty to Riley about his feelings, especially when he told him he loved him. He owned it, and went with it, and it was everything to Riley. Riley never having anyone tell him they loved him had me reaching for the tissues and pulling over from a case of the feels. This book pulled a lot of emotions out of me, and is another amazing story in the Souls of Chicago series.
As a side note, I couldn't help put love the mention of the groups and the photos! Haha!

Amidst all the pain, you can find love....
Rocko has been in a never-ending party with booze and drugs for a long time. To keep the demons away, he felt he had to drink and drugged himself away. At the point of being kicked out of the band, he had to sober up and earn his friends’ and Lachlan’s trust again.
Lachlan is one of the richest man Rocko has ever met, and ever since meeting the members of the band, especially Rocko, he has felt this pull and attraction to the “bad boy” of the famous rock band.
As they start to spend more time together and got to know each other more, they start to see how wrong they were in their perception of each other.
Michael Pauley has done justice in voicing the different characters in the story, I love how Lachlan sounds, even the vulnerability of Rocko/Riley sounds sweet and adorable, and how Benjamin sounds so stuffy. Listening to a story in audio is a totally different experience, and I am loving it, Michael Pauley has made this story come alive with the different voices he used for each character. Congratulations Michael Pauley and Annabella Michaels! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Still sweet
When I read this novel, I fell so hard for both Riley, aka Rocko and Lachlan, and this version only reminded me of how much I loved their story. The pain that Rocko weathers as he struggles to come clean, both physically and emotionally, is palpable and I feel for him as he figures out who he wants to be and how he wants to be with Lachlan. And Lachlan's acceptance of his growing feelings for Rocko is endearing. Watching these men fall for each other, dance around each other and fight against their feelings before finally caving in to them, despite the hurdles they must overcome, is still sweet to me. The performance was okay. Lachlan's English accent wasn't as well executed as I had expected it to be. And as I've found with this actor, his narration is sometimes too breathy and uncertain, The way his intonation too often doesn't manage to make sentences sound like they're complete is disconcerting to me every time, and takes away from the performance.

Starting Over
The Souls of Chicago series has action, romance, drama, and sweetness, but the books don’t shy away from angst. Renewing the Soul has angst in spades, but it’s also a book of hope and second chances. Writing about drug and alcohol addictions are not an easy feat, but Annabella Michaels takes care to really show the complexities and difficulties that surround addiction. Watching these two broken men heal and support each other was beautiful, and their romance was not only romantic, but extremely fulfilling to read about.
The audiobook was narrated by Michael Pauley who was the perfect choice for such a complex and sensitive subject. He embodied Rocko and Lachlan and brought them to life with care and tenderness, but also with intensity and confidence. The performance was spectacular.
Overall Rating: 5 Stars. The writing style of the book was lovely, and I loved how much care Annabella Michaels put into developing these characters. I was rooting for Lachlan and Rocko as they fell in love and rebuilt their lives with each other.

Recovery and Soulmates
I really enjoyed reading this book and was so excited when it was finally released on audio. In this story we have Rocko and Lachlan. Rocko is the drummer for the band that is under contract to Lachlan’s entertainment company. The huge success of the band has come at a price for Rocko. His downward spiral of abusing alcohol and drugs almost killed him. Rocko commits to rehab to regain control of his life and not lose the best gig he’s ever had. As Rocko’s boss, Lachlan only wants to help Rocko re-acclimate to the world outside of rehab and rejoin the band. Lachlan has Rocko move in with him to continue his recovery. As Rocko’s recovery continues, he and Lachlan become closer. Have they found their soulmate? Will Rocko stay sober and not lose his role with the band? Will they have lots of sexy times? Well, you will have to listen to the book to find out.
The narrator for this series is Michael Pauley, who I just love. He does wonderful accents, especially his British accent for Lachlan – possibly swoon worthy 😊 Michael has this uncanny ability to draw you into the book and immerse you in the story. When listening to him, he fleshes out the story and doesn’t make you feel like he is just reading the words off the page. He brings it all to life.
Another five-star story and reading. Looking forward to the next one coming out on audio.

OMG Amazing!!
This is the story that when I just reading was waiting for. I just wanted Rocko happy ending and Lachlan is just perfect for him. So if I love reading this story then listening to Michael Pauley is just absolutely perfection. Michael Pauley just pulls me in and I just can't stop listening. Love this so much!
