Publisher's summary

A career-ending mission sends Trey Durum’s life into a death spiral. Out of control, scarred, and with his spirit broken, he tries to adjust to civilian life. His plan to fade into the background goes up in smoke when Adalynn Walker crashes into his life. The sexy physical therapist has everyone fooled. She’s not sweet. She’s not shy. She’s not patient or kind. She’s a ball-busting sadist who pushes his body during PT sessions and refuses to allow the former SEAL to wallow in his misery. She’s also the woman who sets his soul on fire and makes him forget he’s half the man he once was.

Adalynn Walker feels no sympathy for the bitter war hero who blows off his PT appointments more than he shows. The man is infuriating as much as he is captivating. Addy tries her best to keep their relationship professional, but when Trey shows her the man under the cynical, hostile façade, there’s no denying her inappropriate crush is so much more. Trey Durum’s the man she’s been waiting for, but when her past comes back to haunt her, everything turns to hell, and Addy’s life is left in shambles.

Trey has one chance to earn Addy’s trust. One chance to prove not only to her but to her family that he’s the man for her. Is the well-trained commando ready for the fight of his life, or will his own scars keep him from the woman he loves?

Love these Triple Canopy men!

I'm absotively posilutely loving this series! Riley's stories plus Connor and MacKenzie performing the audio is such a winning combo and a definite purchase for me!

Connor & McKenzie are fabulous♥️

Old wounds & deep dark secrets—Addy and Trey have a heap on those only Trey’s are on the outside and he doesn’t want to be judged by them.

Adeline has been keeping a terrible secret from her family because she wants to spare them and save her dad. Only thing is she isn’t moving past her trauma.

After an incident with a person from her past Addy moves in with Trey for protection. Trey & Addy quickly become instrumental in healing each other.

Be warned…you will want to throat punch Jason & Jasper…until you won’t.

I love the bond that everyone has at TC♥️

Again—the audio is 🔥 Connor & McKenzie do a fabulous job with Trey & Adeline’s story🥰

Best one yet!

These just keep getting better and better! I am completely obsessed and in love with this fictional family. The one brought out every single emotion a person can feel!

Flawed!

Another great protector romance from Riley Edwards. From the beginning I couldn’t wait to see where Adalynn and Trey’s story was going to take me.

Both Adalynn and Trey feel like their flawed pasts have made them unworthy to be loved. I was particularly drawn in to how Adalynn and Trey worked through their pain and trauma, how they found comfort and strength within each other.

From first listening of Flawed, Mackenzie Cartwright and Connor Crais’ performances had me immersed in the worlds of Adalynn and Trey. Perfect casting.

Great story

This was another great story by Riley Edwards and I loved listening to the audiobook which was narrated wonderfully by Connor Crais and Mackenzie Cartwright. Connor’s portrayal of Trey was perfect and was able to convey all the different emotions he experienced. Mackenzie was great as Addy and she realistically conveyed all the pain that Addy endured. I loved Trey and Addy together and both narrators truly brought the characters and story to life.

Trey and Addy

Flawed is the 2nd book in the Triple Canopy series and Trey and Adalynn's story. This book broke me in a good way. In fact, the first interaction between Trey and Addy was so gut-wrenching that I wondered if I could listen to the whole story. I'm so glad I did. Addy is Trey's physical therapist at the VA and you can tell right away, there's something more than patient/therapist between them. Trey was hurt in the line of duty and he's got a ton of anger and disappointment now that he's no longer a part of his SEAL Team. He is broken and so wrapped up in feeling sorry for himself that he can't see what's right in front of him or that he still has his life in front of him. Also, he's fighting his attraction to Adalynn.

Addy is also fighting an attraction to Trey. And she also has her own baggage from failed relationships. She's known as the quiet twin and while Trey thinks she has a perfect life, there's a secret trauma he doesn't know about. When he finally opens his eyes and really sees her, he realizes he's made an idiotic decision in turning her away. He witnesses something happening with her ex-boyfriend and his protective instincts flare to life. What I loved about Trey and Addy together is how they complement each other. They help each realize that their flaws are beautiful and I loved their whole journey.

What I love about this story is while it has suspense, there's more emphasis on how these two connected. I cried a lot during this story. The narrators did a fantastic job imparting the pain and emotion of Ms. Riley's words. Flawed gets 5 stars from me and I can't wait for the next story.

Flawed but worthy!

𝘍𝘭𝘢𝘸𝘦𝘥 is the second book in Riley’s Triple Canopy series and follows Adalynn and Trey. We haven’t seen much in previous books about Addy so it was refreshing to go in without knowing too much background about this character. Riley has the uncanny ability to write multi-dimensional characters that struggle with everyday issues that the reader can relate to. The way in which she leaves the reader in suspense when trouble is on the horizon leaves them anxiety filled, sitting on the edge of their seat. She brings so much character depth and development with each book, and suffice it to say this one was no different! I love the way in which Riley always has the element of found family in all of her series too.

Addy may appear as the quiet and timid woman but she is far from it, and when we learn of her past trauma my heart absolutely broke and was devastated for her. To harbor that secret for so many years, because she didn’t want to burden her family with it shattered me. Trey has his own internal demons that he has struggled with for years after experiencing his own trauma from a fallout on a mission that has left him permanently disfigured. But when Trey and Addy come together and realize they are exactly what each other need to heal from their battle scars and trauma and to show each other that in their eyes neither is flawed but are worthy was breathtaking.

I absolutely loved that we get the talented Connor Crais and MacKenzie Cartwright again in this book and will continue to hear them for this entire series. Connor nailed his performance in expressing Trey’s fears, concerns, and doubts. The way Connor is able to express the character’s feelings and emotions on such a deep level, leaves goosebumps on your arms. MacKenzie hit me in the feels when voicing Addy. She was phenomenal in portraying her shy, sweet, and sassy side, but when we got to her secret in the story I was left in tears and a mess because my heart was crushed.

Bravo again to these two marvelous narrators and I can't wait to hear more from them!

Love this series

Trey and Adalynn’s story was great. Love the series that started these families stories and all the spin-offs.

One of my favorites

This was a re-read via audio. I loved this even more on audio. I loved Trey and Addy's story so much. I got so mad at the Walker family sometimes but I loved how Trey was with the adversity. I loved the suspense and this continues to be a favorite next gen series of mine. The narrators were PERFECT and I will definitely be looking to listen to more from both!

Wowzer...in true Riley fashion emotional

Wowzer...in true Riley fashion this is a rip your heart out, tear it to shreds (in a good way) then put it back to together better than before story.... I knew I'd love Trey...but I didn't truly expect the emotional rollercoaster (I know I know I should have...it's Triple Canopy...) Trey and Addy's story would be. Addy's a Walker so of course she's one tough person...but the demons that haunt her past were unexpected...and rough. (With that, Trigger warning galore for those who may be sensitive to those tough topics). But these two were made for each other, made to sew each other's broken pieces back together and get their HEA. And of course the beautiful story comes with a healthy dose of danger, action, and suspense. And the narration from Connor Crais and McKenzie Cartwright bring the characters to life and give it that extra.
