Beautifully Decadent

Beautifully Damaged, Book 3

By: L.A. Fiore

Narrated by: Aaron Shedlock, Tracy Marks

Avery Collins has just landed her dream job, pastry chef for the posh-Manhattan restaurant Clover. Her new boss, Trace Montgomery, even helped with securing her an affordable place to live: a beautifully restored carriage house owned by his friend Rafe McKenzie - a man who makes her catch her breath and stirs her imagination. Trouble is, he's involved with someone. His father is being released after 25 years in prison, and Avery is just his tenant. Exploring the attraction that sizzles whenever they're together would be the icing on the cake, but Avery knows all too well that you can't have everything. Of course, what's cake without icing?

Rafe McKenzie's world shattered at nine when his father Liam - the only parent he knew - was arrested and convicted for armed robbery. Growing up in the system, Rafe managed to survive his childhood, and now has a job he enjoys, a house he's restoring, and a tight circle of friends. He's even working on reconciling with his dad, both eager to put the past in the past. Happy for the income a tenant would bring, Rafe agrees to rent his carriage house to Clover's new pastry chef.

When Avery Collins pulls up his drive, she's not at all what he's expecting. Funny, sexy, and sweet as her desserts, it doesn't take long for things between them to heat up. Just when it seems as if they'll have their cake and eat it, too, the past comes back with deadly intent, leaving Rafe to figure out who's pulling the strings before his world shatters again

Due to strong language and sexual content, this audiobook is not intended for listeners under the age of 18.

Loved it!

Fabulous book and the narrators were both awesome. It is definitely not a "stand alone" book series. I love how the author continued the life stores of those we met in the first book.

ooo...sweet treats & hot guy...what's not to love?

Pastry chef, Avery, is starting her dream job, and her boss has helped her find a place to live! A cute carriage house that belongs to his friend, Rafe. Avery is attracted to Rafe but, of course he has a gf...whom I did not like! Besides which, he's her boss's friend. Rafe is drawn to the kind and funny Avery but he's not 'free'. Listening to the push and pull between these two as they try to deny deny deny the mutual attraction is entertaining. Will they have an HEA? Maybe...maybe not...You have to find out on your own. While this is part of a series, it is a stand alone so it is not necessary to listen to the other books...but it will give you some background on the other couples (Rafe's friends).
I accepted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

OK, I think I need to listen to the first two books in this series.
Really enjoyed listening to this one, L.A. Fiore is quickly becoming a must read/listen author for me.
And its only made better by two of my favourite narrators.

Good narration, great story.

This is my favorite out of the three stories. I've read it many times and was excited to see it available on audio. It was a no brainier to spend my credit on this one. Rafe and Avery are my favorite!!!!

Avery Collins lands her dream job and meets some amazing new friends. Her new boss even helps her find a place to rent. Life is great all the new men surrounding her life defiantly easy on the eyes. Then some thing go a little sideways when Rafe's dad gets out of jail. The story is full of love and adventure. It's also full of food and I must say L.A. Fiore does a fantastic job with all the descriptions in the story. The little details like the descriptions of the food and the remodel make you feel like you were in the story. And it defiantly make you hungry! I'm waiting on the companion cook book! I also love the reference to Elijah Mikaelson. The narration was spot on and just as amazing as the story.
