De: Lucy Score

Narrado por: Melissa Moran

Who is he if not a hero?
Aldo Moretta has always been the hero. The strongest, the fastest, the bravest. He fought for his country and built a thriving business in his hometown. With friends and family never more than a few blocks away, there was just one thing he was missing. The right girl.

She’d fallen for the wrong guy. The bad guy. But now that she’s finally free, Aldo isn’t going to miss his second chance. Not until his last deployment goes horribly wrong. He was prepared to give his life, but he wasn’t ready for an injury that takes a piece of him. How can he be her hero now?

Who is she if not a victim?
Gloria Parker walked away from a relationship that almost cost her her life. But the shame clings to her like a shadow. She’s wasted 10 long years on the wrong man. When the right one returns home scarred and broken, she sees a kindred spirit. But as Gloria rebuilds her life, brick by brick, she wonders if she’s cut out for love. Real love.

Will they find a way to heal together or will their wounds keep them from the happiness they both crave?

Great Story

Love the reality of those facing their own demons from Abuse and tragedy with scars left behind, and still over coming the damage from those lessons. I enjoyed the narrators voice, the only thing that would have made even better was to have a male narrator to enhance the story.

Can’t Get Enough of this Beautiful Town

I am so glad I stumbled into this tiny town of benevolence! This second book of the series is so beautiful and heartfelt! I just love the story of Aldo and Gloria. I love how Lucy weaves in the story of book 1 from a different perspective. I also was intrigued how she showed through this couple the subtle similarities between a war veteran, and a victim of domestic violence. The way that that these two lovers together, and just are so meant for each other is a wonderful spry to be engrossed in. I especially loved their little kitten, and wondered if the author is secretly spying on me and took a video of our our Toast Ed Marshmallow! Describe the little hell-raiser to a T!

Healing and strength

Lucy Score has got to be one of my new favorite authors. I don’t care that her books are “predictable” or that they follow the same trajectory of the modern romance. She does is flawlessly. She mixes the perfect amount of spice, angst, heartbreak, redemption, healing, passion and swoon. She is brilliant and I can’t wait to read more of her and the third book in this series.

Aldo Finally!!!

This book was so worth the wait. Three years in the making, and expectations were high. Lucy didn’t let us down. This is probably my favorite book of the year. Definitely a top read. I have a lot of military people in my family so I’m always partial to military storylines. Aldo is one of my favorite book Heroes ever. Watching Aldo and Gloria overcome so much, and grow together was wonderful. Gloria coming into her own was heart warming. This is a great story of courage and strength and facing your fears. I’m so glad this didn’t stay a novella like it was originally planned. I can’t wait to return to Benevolence again when the next book comes out.

Finally Mine

After meeting Aldo and Gloria in Book 1, I was excited to read their story. I knew they would both be damaged in different ways and I live redemption storylines. This was everything I wanted and more. It had a good balance of flirting and chasing at the beginning then healing after tragedy and finally getting the love they deserved.

This timeline and story overlaps with Pretend You’re Mine by can be read as a standalone.

Restoring Hope

This book walks you through despair, challenges, heartbreak and depression while restoring hope that there will be someone there to help you carry your baggage through life with endless love. Light on the spice in this one.

Perfect Small Town Romance!

I've decided that Lucy Score is one of my favorite authors. I especially enjoy her heartwarming small-town romance novels. I was thrilled to learn that the second book in the 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 series, 𝑭𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝑴𝒊𝒏𝒆, runs parallel to the first book. This time, the focus is on the romance between Aldo and Gloria, which we caught glimpses of in 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕'𝒔 𝑴𝒊𝒏𝒆. I was excited to witness their emotional journey towards finding true love. What really struck me was the character development of Gloria, who had endured almost a decade of domestic abuse before finding the strength to break free. Seeing how she learned to love and value herself despite her past was inspiring. And Aldo was endearing and oh-so-hot and sexy. He was patient and understanding with Gloria despite the fact he was dealing with his own trauma. The man could make a girl swoon! I absolutely loved 𝑭𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝑴𝒊𝒏𝒆. It's a beautiful story filled with hope, love, and growth that will have you feeling all the emotions. Make sure to grab a copy and prepare to be taken on an unforgettable journey. Don't forget the tissues!⁠
