A MUST READ!!

Oh my heart....I can't even begin to explain what this story did to me, the emotions it evoked from me and when I say this is a book that needs to be read.....YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK!!! Fantastic story! The journey. The angst. The heartache. The swoon. Sexy and heart wrenching, with twists and turns that will have you gasping and begging for more. I will read this again just so I can drool over the hero... 

Maxine Mitchell & John Lane do an amazing job portraying the characters, bringing them to life and humanizing them with their emotions, attitude and personality. They do more than giving their characters their voices, they fall into the roles and become the character.

EPIC audiobook!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 STARS

I read and listened to the audiobook and loved every moment! My word… John Lane and Maxine Mitchell are phenomenal with their narration. I absolutely love Stefano and Gabby. I devoured both the book and the audiobook. Melanie’s words are like a caress on my senses. Breaking The Speed Limit by Melanie Moreland is an EPIC read that will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ARISTOCRACY!!!

A masterpiece ....

A masterpiece of heartache, humor and emotion that sticks to the soul. Moreland and company speak the language of love in the most vulnerable and endearing of ways.

Stefano, Gabby and Theo

An adorably sweet, charming and captivating journey to go on with Stefano, Gabby and lets not forget Theo. I loved how Stefano just stepped right up and admitted what he wanted, went for it and treated Gabby and Theo exactly how they deserved to be treated. I enjoyed every second of this story.
Maxine Mitchell and John Lane did a fantastic job bringing these amazing characters to life.

Great story and great narration

As I have come to expect from a book from Melanie Moreland, Breaking The Speed Limit was well written with characters whose story you cannot help but become quickly drawn in to. It was so good to be back in The Reynold’s Restoration world for Stefano Borelli, and Gabby’ s story and oh what a story it was.

Gabby explodes into Stefano’s life and turns it upside down with a tonne of baggage and her adorable little boy named Theo in tow. I loved these characters and the instant connection that sizzles between Stefano and Gabby when he comes to her rescue.

John Lane and Maxine Mitchell did a fabulous job with their performances. Their voices are wasy to listen to and they brought the story and the characters to life for me with their passionate and at times emotional narration.

The chemistry that ignites between them is so hot that I could almost feel myself bursting into flames. Gabby is a strong, sassy, loving mother and I loved her. I fell hard and fast for Stefano and wow the relationship he forged with Theo just about melted my heart.

From the first word to the last I was hooked. The banter between them is fun, and there was so much love that I felt like I had a permanent smile on my face.

SWOON-WORTHY MECHANIC MAN!

Stefano is a Momma’s boy and I am so into it! Who doesn’t love a grown-ass muscly man who adores his mom and listens to whatever she says? Swoooon! His chemistry with Gabby is fiery from their first meeting, I never have any problem with Melanie Moreland’s isntaspark, in fact, I adored it! Stefano is a swoon-worthy sexy Italian with a dirty, filthy mouth, I especially love it when he speaks in his mother tongue. And my boy Theo! The most adorable baby boy, I love his relationship with Stefano and how he called him “Stefo”. I always teared up when a book has a scene where the kid asks the MC if they can be their mom/dad, it’s so touching…

This book has a brief third-act break up which I didnt mind, and it didnt drag on for too long, I already knew the suspense would come from a mile away. Give it to Melanie Moreland to always deliver the most beautiful ending. No matter how angsty the story is, I know my heart will be full and satisfied by the end of the book. I cannot recommend this series enough, I love it so much and am excited to meet Brett in the next book.

Who knows hearing John Lane speaking in Italian could do something to me? Cause yes, it did, I love it when accents are done right and not over the top. This duo is killing it again with the audio, and I’m always a fan of their work!

Great story.

Breaking the Speed Limit ticked all the boxes of the kind of romance I love to read about.
Small town✅
Single mom with the sweetest five year old boy✅
A sassy, strong heroine✅
A hero who’s a gentleman in the street but a dirty talking alpha who can whisper sweet words in Italian✅
Brilliant I’m all in. The story is captivating, sweet and interesting. I love this series, can’t wait to read more about the other guys from Reynolds Restoration.

Perfect narration for a perfect romance

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better !!!
Breaking the Speed Limit ( Reynolds Restorations, #2) is Stefano and Gabby’s journey and to say this couple stole a piece of my heart would be an understatement. I fell hard and fast for Stefano and his protective and romantic Italian ways, I adored Gabby but it was a little boy named Theo that stole the show for me.
The narration by Maxine Mitchell and John Lane was perfection, they were spot on with every emotion and they did a fantastic job bringing the characters and their journey to life.
Family and friends mean the world to Stefano so when he comes across a damsel in distress on the side of the road, he was always going to stop and help but what he didn’t expect was the instant attraction and the need to help this stunning sassy woman who wants no help from any man.
Gabby has secrets, she has baggage and up until now her son was the only male in her life, five year old Theo was always her first priority but what she didn’t see coming was a man prepared to love and protect them both. She knows she risks a lot by giving into her feelings so will she take a chance and trust another man ……
This book touched me on so many levels, I smiled and I giggled as Theo becomes inquisitive about a man spending the night, I swooned and I sighed as Gabby and Stefano get to know each other and build their relationship but it was Stefano’s relationship with Theo that took this book to another level. I loved everything about this book and you will too so I guess all I need to say is please one click this gem, you won’t be disappointed.

Amazing narrators for an amazing story!

I am loving the Reynolds Restoration series!! It’s the small town, light vibes I’ve been wanting. Breaking the Speed Limit follows one of the mechanics, Stefano, and single mom Gabby. These two meet when Gabby’s car has a flat tire and Stefano stops to help her. They butt heads at first, which results in a passionate kiss (and fixed tire), and Gabby’s hope that they never see each other again. BUT OF COURSE, Gabby’s car continues to be crappy and she crosses paths with Stefano again at the mechanic shop that he’s a partner of. Gabby isn’t looking for a relationship of any sort due to a shitty situation she is fleeing from with the father of her son, Theo. However, Stefano isn’t going to take no for an answer, and tries to show her that with the right man and support system, love and family take on a whole new meaning.

This story wasn’t overly complicated which is what I needed. It is a bit instalust/instalove, but it worked. Stefano knew what he wanted and didn’t waste time. I loved how he treated Gabby and her son, and immediately made her feel welcome amongst his Italian family and his found family at the mechanic shop.

Did I mention how I melted any time Stefano spoke Italian? And how hot the smex scenes were? Cause their chemistry was top notch.

Definitely check out this series, and listen to the audio if you can! I have enjoyed how fun this series is and I can’t wait to read the next book!

More than five stars!!

Amazingly good story and the narrators did an awesome job making the story come to life. So much love and friendship. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
