Damaged and the Beast

De: Bijou Hunter

Narrado por: Rayna Whitney

As heir to the local motorcycle club and crime syndicate, Cooper Johansson is accustomed to taking what he wants. His newest conquest is college freshman Farah Smith.

When the tattooed bad boy reminds her of a rough childhood she desperately wishes to forget, Farah keeps him at arm's length. Yet, Cooper refuses to give up. He pushes her buttons, tears through her walls, and forces her to admit her feelings for him. What begins as lust soon builds into something more powerful than either expects.

Can a beast like Cooper heal the damage inside the girl of his dreams?

Love can fix Damage and tame Beasts

This book is a great introduction to Bijou Hunters damaged series. You get to meet Farrah and Cooper and are introduced to the rest of the Johansen family and the town of Ellisburg.

Farrah has experienced a lot of tragedy and bad in her young life. She's come to college to start fresh. Cooper is a rough around the edges biker. While a biker is the last person Farrah wants in her life Cooper is exactly what she needs.

Over all the story is great just know there is alot of cussing and that some of the events could be triggering.

The narrator was new to me but definitely someone I will be checking out. I can't wait to get the next book in this series!

YA Romance At It's BEST.

OK. So some of the sex was a bit heavy for YA, but the characters were so in that scene that it's all I can categorize it as. I loved the way I was kept waiting until 3/4 through to verify what I expected as her reason for fear. Conner was every girls dream but I believed it. He screwed up enough to keep him real. The writing included peripheral imagery that heightened my visualization. A must for me as well as a HEA ending because the premise could be expanded with more angst and background ending with a cliffhanger and a sequel. The narrator's voice was easy to listen to. The only complaint was in Connor's portrayal. He was mono tonal with no emotion, all statements ending tone down. This book warrants dual narration with male and female narrators.
I was given this book free by the narrator, author, or publisher for an honest review through Audiobook Boom. Thank you! I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Too Much Cussing

I was given this book in exchange for an unbiased review. This was not a YA story. It was all adult content. The end came too fast but hopefully there is a book 2. Cooper was very protective and I could not believe that he really cared about Farah. But he let go of his mannish ways and invested time in getting to know her and to help her deal with some of her issues. There were a lot of issues in her life but she knew she wanted to be a teacher and did not let anything derail her plans. The narrator was good and made each voice it's own voice. You could tell she had done narration before. She helped make the story. The only part that was YA to me was the interaction between the siblings and the name calling between Cooper and Farah. There was just too much cussing for me. But I guess with the way they were raised you have to expect it. Although some of it did not help the story and could have been left out. Loved the brother's story and it was interwoven just right.

Really enjoyed this listen!

Bijou hunter wrote a great story. I think she captured the age of Farrah appropriately. Immature, indecisive and learning her way in a whole new world.
I also enjoyed the narration, voices seemed accurate for ages. Male voice was done well enough to not be obnoxious.
Well worth a credit!
