Renegade Hearts

Rebels of Sandland, Book 1

By: Nikki J Summers

Narrated by: Shane East, Zara Hampton-Brown

They are the boys your mother always warned you about. They’re every parent’s worst nightmare.

Arrogant, cocky and self-assured.

They used the town of Sandland like it was their own personal playground. They didn’t follow the rules; they made their own.

Most girls were drawn to them like a moth to a flame, but Emily Winters wasn’t like most girls. A politician’s daughter. A good girl with morals and principles. She represented everything they despised. The only problem was she lived her life in a perfectly orchestrated smokescreen, and where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire.

They wanted to expose her for what she was; a pretty little liar hiding the ugliest truths. But when the truth comes out and lies are exposed, who will be the one to eventually crash and burn?

Renegade Hearts is a new-adult romance that contains situations of a violent and sexual nature. It is intended for mature listeners.

LOVE THIS SERIES 🔥🔥🔥

Love this book! Love this series! Gritty side of England and I love it!!! I can’t wait for the other books in the series to release on Audible! I read them all on KU and fell in love!!! Counting the days till the next release.

OBSESSED WITH THIS BOOK 😍

Ryan is the biggest simp for Emily, and I loved every 👏🏼 minute 👏🏼 of him being head over heels and totally obsessed with her 😋

Dual narration

Ok so my mind is blown.
I didn’t see anything coming.

The audio is narrated in dual by Shane East & Zara Hampton-Brown.

It is the love story between two young adults, enemies to lovers… but it becomes so much more.
Ryan is a real softie inside out. And Emily is a fierce sassy woman who doesn’t take any shit from anyone.

Their story is wrap up in this book but the epilogue opens more doors… so I guess I move on to the next book. Gladly.

Balanced

I love romance novels that actually make the FMC use her brain! This story is the perfect balance of level headed, WTF, and reality. I love how the author goes through the characters thought processes, has everything explained, and even keeps the characters personality’s consistent. The FMC may be 18, but she acts more mature, and when her big reveal happened, she didn’t just up and go dumb like most FMC’s.
Very well written story!

Great, easy listen.

Nikki Summers does a great job weaving a story. The world that she’s created along with the characters are truly wonderful to listen to. This is the second book. I have read by her, and by all means my favorite aspect of this and many of our other stories are the strong female leads.

Accent

Shane East can read anything. The story was well written and the build up and spice was perfect.

All I could think towards the end

Brandon deserved better. Ryan and Emily are great but, everyone knew Brandon’s back story and why he used violence and anger to cover his feelings. Emily let everyone get away with anything yet couldn’t see past Brandon mirth? It just pissed me off. Yeah it sets us up for the next story but, Jesus, he deserved a little more understanding.

Decent story

The story wasn’t bad.. I really liked Ryan.. but I do have to say I did not care too much for the FMC I wanted to slap her so hard about being so dramatic about the stuff with her father.. she k ew he was a jerk and she knew things were going g to be revealed yet she still acted like it shouldn’t have been done.. idk I wasn’t thrilled. Don’t k is if I will do the rest of the series or not?

Enemies to Lovers

3.5 stars. I finished The Soldiers of Anarchy series first and loved it. This first book reminded me of the MMCs from this series if they went to high school. The angst and spice between Emily and Ryan was on the tamer side, but still entertaining.

nothing original

nothing new that I have read b4
the narrators were the best thing about the story but I wouldn't pay for it
