Garnet Flats

The Edens

De: Devney Perry

Narrado por: Cindy Kay, Connor Crais

From Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-selling author Devney Perry comes a second-chance small-town romance.

Talia Eden loved Foster Madden for one year, two months, and eleven days. It was on day 438 that her love died. The day he chose to marry her best friend. The day she vowed never to think of Foster again.

Until years later, when he has the audacity to show up in her small hometown of Quincy, begging for her help.

The ink on his divorce papers is barely dry, yet he comes armed with apologies and promises. She knows it’s all a ploy. Foster is the king of games and secrets. But he’s got delusions the size of Montana if he thinks she’ll help him train for a world championship fight.

Except Talia has forgotten exactly what made Foster famous. The man has dedicated his life to victory. He’s steadfast. He’s determined. And he won’t stop fighting until he’s won her heart.

I wanted it to be better

I am a huge fan of Devney Perry where I do not hesitate when it comes to purchasing her books, but with that said I am on the fence about this one. The actual story line is much better than the delivery of it. Foster had a much better story that Talia who came across as whiney and insecure to me, I get why she was that way but the constant review of her thoughts was annoying, way too much overthinking out loud. Of the series this one is my least favorite. I wanted to like it way more than I did. I do feel that Jasper and Emila have a story coming.

Really Enjoyed This One!

I was not expecting this story to be what it was... I really enjoyed these characters and their story.
I love the way Devney writes her stories and the way they flow. She will capture your attention in the first few pages and keeps you hanging on till the end...

I am excited to see what is next in this series!

Loved the NARRATION on the audio of this one!

Second Chance Romance-Sign Me Up!!

Who wouldn’t thought UFC fighters could be hot…whew Foster is now hi up on my book boyfriend list. And adding in the single daddy aspect just makes me swoon more. Then adding Connor Crais as his narrator. Damn triple threat!! The story was beautiful and moving. I love all the intimate elements as well as seeing Talia let down her emotional walls and seeing her accept the love she deserves. A must read for fans of sports romances and second chance romances.

My favorite so far!!

Foster and Talia take second chance romance and make it feel like a fresh start and truly new beginnings. Talia is carrying this emotional wall around with her, and it was beautiful to watch Foster chip away at her fears and doubts. Garnet Flats reeled me in from the very first chapter, and kept me on my toes all the way through the epilogue! Just when you think you know what Talia and Foster will face next, you’re given another piece of the puzzle that makes it all make a little more sense. Devney Perry has the ability to make you want to pack and move to these small towns that she writes about. I love the town, the people, and the romance! I Highly recommend getting lost in second chances with Garnet Flats! Connor Crais is audio gold!!! Cindy Kay is new to me, and I will be looking to listen to more from her.

Messy

This was not too bad and again we go back to the small town life but to many same old same old twists and kinks.

freaking amazing narration & sweet story

ill be honest i had no clue how devney was going to make me fall in love with foster - i thought there was no way for a redemption here but holy woooowwwwww i didnt see any of this book coming, yet i loved it all! talia is a freaking amazon warrior and such a strong woman, i adored getting to know her story.

Wonderful Second Chance

Foster came to get a second chance with Talia. I like how the Eden family sticks up for each other and love each other unconditionally no matter what. Devney Perry writes such wonderful books. I can't wait for the next one. Connor Crais and Cindy Kay did a great job narrating.

Worth the credit!

Devney Perry has become an automatic purchase for me. I love her characters. I enjoy that this book has drama without lots of angst. I like that Talia and Foster got to know each other and took time to fall in love again, not just a quick relationship built only on physical attraction. Great story! Great series! The only downside is waiting for the next book!

Narration was really good. Connor Crais has become one of my favorite narrators.

Great second Chance

Story- 5 🌟
Narrators-5/5
Spice level: 3/5

I have read some not so great reviews about this book. For anyone else reading those same reviews, ignore them. There is no reason to doubt Devney Perry's writing. She is talented! This book was perfection. A lot of the reviews were shaming on Vivi. Was I a fan of Vivi? No, but I still loved this book. I understood the predicaments that landed them where they were.

Garnet Flats didn't have that suspense like Indigo Ridge. This one, much like Juniper Hill, was more contemporary (not complaining at all!). Devney Perry often does a mixture within her book series. I had read other reviews complain about the epilogue and the lead up to Jasper Vale. Seriously, ignore those, too. Talia and Foster, oh, this couple. They orbit around each other, and when they are near, they become the beat versions of themselves. Their souls recognized one another. It was perfection! It's one of my favorite second, chance romance books ever! (and I loved Clover Chappel!) I am so excited for Jasper Vale. really next to the Clifton Forge series. I have loved the Eden family. Each book becomes my favorite. Talia is so sweet natured, and she - if she were a real person - would be someone you would want to be friends with. Foster is kind and protective, yet he gets Tally. He loves her without apology, and like I said, let's her be her. I know I have repeated myself a few times. He is perfect for Tally.

It's such a good book and an incredible listen. Connor Crais and Cindy Kay did a great job! I loved their performances.

Not as good as the first two

Loved the first two books of this series and the narrators, but unfortunately this story was a bit lacking and I did not like the female narrator at all. Might have to switch to the kindle version for Jasper Hale.
