About this listen
There are things that women want and things that women need. I know deep down, with every fiber in my body, that I need Mr. Ward.
He started out as my landscape designer but became so much more. Now, my life is on the line while living with the devil himself. I have been torn down and broken, and I don’t think I can take anymore.
The man I need was never the one I married. No, the man I need is the one I was never supposed to have. He’s the one who showed me gentleness, kindness, and true love.
Ward would put up a fight for me at any cost. I know for a fact I could be so much happier with him. But when I come face-to-face with reality, I’m not sure if I’m brave enough to risk it all for someone I’ve just met, even if it seems like Mr. Ward and I are a match made in heaven.

Story
It started as as a simple search for a landscape designer. I wanted a beautiful backyard for my new home, and my neighbors suggested I look into ward landscaping and design. The owner had no pictures of himself on his website. Just a portfolio of nice outdoor sitting areas, pools, and vibrant gardens that I’d always dreamed of having. Of course, I hired him. I expected to meet an average guy, but Mr. Marcel Ward is far from your average man.

I was never meant to live an ordinary life, and when I’m dropped from the sky into a haunting forest, facing the barrel of an unknown man’s gun, I believe it to be true. Ruler of Blackwater, Caz Harlow, is the man behind the gun. He’s broody, calculating, commanding and, surprisingly, I can hear every thought that runs through his mind. Because I can, he wants me out of his world and sent back to where I came from, so he makes it his mission to find a way.

Story
There’s a myth that floats around in my city. They say the president of the local biker gang is ruthless, heartless, and that once you cross him, you’ll spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder. There are whispers that he was once lost in a forest, and when he was found, he was surrounded by a pack of wolves that were protecting him. Many will tell you he’d never let his guard down for a woman, and that if he ever did, it would be bad for her. The one thing this city doesn’t know about me is that I’m not your average woman.

Story
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.

Story
Jude "Lucky" Lucketti wasn't just a sexy, brooding construction worker. He was my own personal hero, showing up in all the right places at the right times. Like when my car broke down and I needed a ride home, and when I face-planted on the sidewalk right in front of him and had to be taken to the emergency room. We became friends, and it didn't matter that he was 16 years older than me. We had a lot in common - like our love of old rock music and vintage fast cars and our aversion to relationships.

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

And it would be a lot easier to do that if her parents weren’t so close by, reminding her just why she left town as soon as she could, and if the house she just purchased wasn’t already giving her problems. Just when Aria starts to second-guess her decision, Tide Goodman knocks on her door and shoves his way under her defenses.

Once I saw Marnie Long, a sassy, sultry, charismatic older woman in a bar, I couldn’t peel my eyes off her. I wanted her. At least, for one night. I’m way too busy with my career these days for anything more. As it turned out, after recently getting burned, Marnie was on the same page as me—all she wanted was one night of fun. I was happy to be of service. What I didn’t expect during our night together, however, was how deeply we connected. Also, how much I was dying to see her again the next morning.

“I was in a relationship with two men, and neither were giving me up.” That thought flashed through Charlotte’s brain like a bright neon light as she followed her husband out of her marriage counselor’s office. The office where she’d sat twice a week as she tried to repair the glaring problems in her marriage. The marriage that she’d fought hard to save to a man that wasn’t fighting alongside her. She’d been lied to, ignored, and used as a pawn to climb his ladder to success. Charlotte was broken, not just her marriage.

Good story , but lots of critiques
Ok so let me start off my saying I don’t rally critique books. I like it or I don’t. But I have a lot of issues with the narrators.
When doing character voices they were so all over the place. The H had that simple southern accent which is correct. But then the h doing the Hs voice made him sound like he was from New Orleans. Also each one had a different way of doing the h’s husband as well. That was super annoying. I hated how the h did her father’s voice. The female narrator also had many moments where she sounded like a news anchor when reading.

Crazy
🤬!!! Why was Kyle and his mama crazy??? I didn’t think I was gonna like this book, but I did. The first book started off kinda dry but by the end I was like omg! Then I couldn’t stop listening. I hate to listen when a woman has a bunch of trauma, but dang!!! Marcel was bay for real. Even though they met
though they met under some crazy circumstances. Gabby had good friends and neighbors too.

This story went left for me when Gabby forgave her father. WTF? No Shanora! Daddy was a bad man and did not deserve forgiveness.

Great part 2. Wish Scott Rider read the whole thing or there was a true dual POV. Lucy has terrible voices beyond Gabby’s.

Loved it!
I loved the first and the second book to this book sequence, but I absolutely loved The Man I Need! Shanora Williams delivers a gripping and emotional love story that kept me hooked from start to finish. Marcel and Gabby’s journey is raw, heartbreaking, and full of hope, making me believe in second chances and the power of true love.
The characters feel so real, and the twists kept me guessing. It’s one of those books that makes you cry, smile, and dream about your own happy ending. If you love heartfelt romances, this one is a must-read! I hope I have my own happy ending one day.
Rating: 5/5
