Publisher's summary

Successful restaurateur Lucien Black’s blue-green eyes and unattainable attitude drive women wild. But his abandonment issues and criminal past have left him emotionally closed off. When a familiar face shows up for a job interview at his nightclub, the ache he has tried to forget tears at his heart - it’s the girl who once healed him...and then abandoned him.

Darcy MacBride still remembers Lucien’s delicate touch when they were both wildly in love teenagers. His gorgeous eyes had soothed her hurt after she’d been dumped off at the orphanage where Lucien lived. Darcy felt his jagged edges fit perfectly into her own, and she’d planned to spend the rest of her life with him - until a mysterious man warned her away. Now, fourteen years later, she’s ready to endure the torture of Lucien’s indifference and having him as her boss...just to be near him. But when it seems that they might finally take up where they left off, a devastating secret buried in their past threatens to tear them apart again.

L.A. Fiore’s story of smoldering love recaptures the tormented romance of Beautifully Damaged.

❤️❤️❤️

I love Fiore's books! I can't describe the emotions I have felt listening to the heartbreakingly beautiful love story of Lucian Black and Darsey. I loved the part of them reuniting with their son😭❤️ The story continued for Trace and Amber and I have to say I really loved the fact it included them, it felt like a beautifully strong family story. All the twists and character development were really interesting and capturing. The story of sister Ann made me cry, Dane's story as well was a good example of how things are not what thy always seem. The old grumpy sister Margret was hilarious.

Love you L. A. Fiore for always bringing beautiful back❤️

Love love love

I really loved the story and I really liked how the story continued with the characters from the previous book in the series it was different from other series I've read I felt like everything was connected in the perfect way yet it kept you in suspense if what came next like watching an actual movie... This series is a must read!!!!

WOW L A FIORE HAS PACKED A LOT INTO THIS STORY

Lucian is sexy, rich, gorgeous, successful, a womaniser and has a heartbreaking past because the love of his life, Darcy, devastated his life when they were in their teens. Now decades later, she's trying to make amends and hoping for more but he just wants revenge….. that is until he sees her.

First there's angst, then the chemistry kicks in between them, followed by forgiveness, sex, understanding, character development and finally a deep love. But along the way are terrible heartbreaking secrets, treachery, murder, plot twists, Ember and Trace's tearful sub story that has some trauma filled parts, shocks and surprises and lots of secondary characters. The romance built at a nice pace and then together they faced all the unfolding never ending dramas.

Best listened to after Book 1.

Worth a credit? It was a well written and enjoyable bitter-sweet love story that kept my attention as I was happily entertained for nearly 10 hours and it was only $7.34, yes $7.34… what a bargain so no need to spend those precious credits (but if I had then I would still be one happy listener).

Just Beautiful

This story was romantic, filled with drama and an emotional journey. The complex plot included plenty of story lines involving secondary characters as well. It all kept me hooked. Well done narration held it all together and made for a great listen. Loved both books in the series.

Good listening

Nice romance novel! I would listen to it again. loved her first novel. Easy listening.

Loved the first book hated the second.

Honestly I loved the first book and hated the second. Jumping around back and forth in time made it confusing. Jumping around between main characters kind of made both groups of characters stories reduced. To me it diminshed the new love story of Lucien and Darcy, and made the continuation of Trace and Embers love story less as well. Way too many happy coincidences and lucky turns and almost felt like the author threw every known love twist and turn into the story. I finished listening to the end only out of love of the first book but it makes me afraid to attempt to pick up the third book. It was nice to find out what happened to Trace and Embers but I kind of feel they should have just had another story all to themselves.

Not Fiore's best work

The story was very hard to follow. At times I couldn't even tell who was speaking. I enjoyed the plot twisting but the repetitiveness was a bit annoying. It felt like I was playing an endless game of clue while reading this book. Would not recommend this book.

Good listen

This book was okay. It felt a little forced as if the author was trying to find as many ways as possible to tie this story in with book one. Sometimes it became a little unrealistic.

Really Great Story

I really enjoyed the story. However, the out of order flashbacks made it a little difficult to follow.

Wow!

I downloaded this book immediately after I had listened to Book 1 in the series. It is not a stand alone book by any means. I also enjoyed this although there was so much going on at times I had to stop to figure things out in my head. I already have Book 3 in my wish list!
