Branch McGuire: Hot, arrogant, and life of the party...

I easily transitioned from high school jock to egotistical playboy. And when the chance to leave Blue Ridge presented itself, I signed on, dropping everything without so much as a second thought. Settling into the lifestyle of a professional athlete, I indulge in the pleasures of my high-profile status. The only nod to my roots is my annual trip for a celebrity spotlight fix, but when I receive a call that forces an impromptu return home, everything I left behind comes barreling to the surface.

Ragan Prescott: Determined, resilient, and born to a drug addict...

From the outside, my life was that of a free-spirited girl who grew up in a normal household, yet nothing normal happened behind the doors of a house I came to hate. Breaking away from the family dysfunction, I embark upon the life I’ve always wanted in Blue Ridge. But when I fall prey to the charms of a silver-tongued devil, it becomes a life I have to escape. Will a small town hero be my only chance at survival? Will my broken soul mend his? Can our Shattered Beginnings become the fragile pieces from which love is made?

This is book one of the No Longer Broken duet.

Wow Lilly Wilde’s epic read comes to life as Aaron Shedlock and Melissa Moran bring the voices of Branch and Ragan to life in this amazing audiobook. This book is very emotionally charged I felt every emotion the author had intended, from the pain and heartache, to the pleasure and passion, and betrayal and hurt. These narrators are truly Amazing and certainly did this book justice. I loved reading this book as I rated it 5 stars, and this audiobook is equally as awesome! I can’t wait to listen to book 2 of the duet, Salvaged Hearts!!

Epic read comes to life!

Just when I thought I couldn’t love a book more than I already do, it comes to life in audio and I am falling in love all over again!!!! My heart is full listening to the wonderful narration of a story that has touched me in so many ways. Branch and Ragan truly have shattered Beginnings in life and you feel they may never be able to put the pieces back together but they do and in doing so they find each other. Together they grow and learn, they lend each other an ear to listen and they push each other’s boundaries beyond any they have ever known. This story, these characters and this incredible amazing author Lilly Wilde truly gave me a book that I will forever hold dear. Hearing this story come to life by Melissa Moran and Aaron Shedlock really is inspiring. Their many different character voices and their emotion in the words they say is absolutely brilliant. I would definitely say it’s one of the best audiobooks I have ever listened to and to know that they are already working in the second book makes me the happiest person in the world right now.

Cannot get any better than this!!!!!

****10 Amazing Stars from me!****

The feels...oh the feels!! Once I started listening to this audiobook, I couldn't stop! I listened to the whole thing continuously until I finished.

I absolutely loved it!! One of the many things I loved was that this book gives you so much story about Branch and about Ragan seperately. Makes you feel that you really know them personally. Branch and Ragan have been through so much in their lives already. Shattered Beginnings gives you a glimpse of every emotion out there. I just love the brave, strong person that Ragan is! I also love an arrogant, cocky Branch!

Lilly Wilde did an awesome job picking her narrators. The narration done by Aaron Shedlock and Melissa Moran was amazing! They were able to capture each and every character the way I would have imagined them sounding! Being able to place voices with the characters just gives a whole different feel! I found myself laughing out loud and also crying in parts. I had feelings of warm fuzziness and also feelings of utter disgust.

I had already read this book, but listening to the audiobook blew me away! It was as if this was my first time. I cannot wait for Salvaged Hearts to come out on audio!!!

Completely Blown Away!!

I am in awe, I cried for Ragan, I can imagine her! I feel her hunger for a better world. Branch is possibly the perfect man. I can't breathe!

This is a great story. New author and narrators for me and I am happy to have loved it from start to finish and can’t wait for book two.
The characters in this book are written and performed to feel so realistic and authentic. Those are the best kind of books!
Must read!

Fantastic book

Great writing and wonderful narration allow the listener to get deep into the characters of Branch and Ragan in a story of rising above the demons of their pasts. It was a little tough to listen to Ragan's memories and Branch coming to grips with his childhood but the author eases the listener through it. The only downside is this is part one of two (you know, duet) but I look forward to the rest of this tale. Enjoy!

Great Begining

The story itself is fantastic with characters you immediately fall in love with. You are sucked into their story and never want it to end. The narrators are absolutely perfection and nail exactly what I pictured them to sound like. This is a must listen. You will not be disappointed.

Amazing

Shattered Beginnings by Lilly Wilde brings together two unlikely to meet people. I found the background stories of both Ragan and Branch to be full of heartbreak, and yet it shaped the characters to what they were. I cannot wait to find out what happens next to them. Melissa Moran and Aaron Shedlock added so much to this book with their intensely emotional and realistic voices. I loved how both narrators made the characters feelings palpable to the listener and brought them to life. They each had distinguishable voices for the various characters.
