Kit

A Second Chance Brother's Best Friend Romance (Scarred Hearts, Book 2)

By: S.M. West

Narrated by: Vanessa Edwin, Teddy Hamilton

She’s too smart, too pretty, and too good for a thug like me. Caro Archer loved me once, then left me in the wreckage.

Now, she’s back with danger on her heels and my heart in her hands. Her safety should be my top priority.

Only, Caro has other plans.

She wants to give us a second chance.

The part of me that aches for more wants to give in. But I’m the same man she turned her back on all those years ago - the same brute she left in the dust.

What makes her think things will be different this time? Especially when it’s more than my heart on the line?

Second chances don’t come easy for a man like me. This time, I might not survive.

Kit can be listened to as a stand-alone and is book two in the Scarred Hearts series about brooding, vigilante-type heroes. Novels in this series include interconnected characters, but each story can be listened to on its own and has an HEA. Listening to them in order is not crucial but recommended.

Loved This One!

I liked this one! I was hooked from the first chapter and couldn't stop.
I was so excited to get Kit's book and get more of his story.
I have always enjoyed a brother's best friend and this one is one when the brother is okay with it.
Really good story and characters!
The audio is AMAZING.

Good Listen

For me this book was just ok. There were moments when I thought that I had missed something and would go back, but that was just the way the story was written. Although sometimes the flow was off, the story was good. The narration saved it all for me. The narrators did an amazing job with this book. There were moments of boredom, but I can listen to Teddy Hamilton read me side effects on medication handouts. So for me the narrators saved this book.

Great Story

First you can almost never go wrong with Teddy Hamilton or Vanessa Edwin. So the narration was awesome. The story was also awesome. I love a good 2nd chance romance and the suspense thrown in with it made it even better. This is the second or third book I listened to written by this author and have not been disappointed yet. Great characters, story line, it also has some characters from Prophet (you don't need to listen to it before reading this one). Good use of my credit.

The Wisdom from Maturity

4.5 stars - This romantic suspense hit the spot! The mystery and danger starts right out of the gate and doesn't stop until the end. I anticipated many of the twists but the delivery was still good.

Kit and Caro find themselves in the middle of a situation compliments of her ex. Things get ugly. Bodily harm occurs and street drugs are at the heart of the matter.

My heart breaks for both of them as they have grown up since Caro ended their relationship years earlier and each realizes what they need now that may not have been understood then but maturity has given (mostly) Caro the wisdom to she where she incorrectly judged. Despite the numerous trips to the hospital, I love when they let their guards down and reunite, body and soul. 💜🔥🎉💜

I enjoyed an author's copy of the audio book and I liked Vanessa Edwin and Teddy Hamilton as the narrators. I kept finding reasons to leave my ear buds in to listen to more of the story. A really good book!
