Pavey Boulevard

Island Series, Book 1

By: Rie Anders

Narrated by: Lessa Lamb

When Shaye dropped out of college mid-semester, and moved to Lopez Island for the summer, she’d hoped to figure out what she wanted to do with the rest of her life. Instead, she reconnects with childhood friends Jason and Nick, and good intentions spiral into harrowing confrontations. The summer ends in tragedy and Shaye flees the Island, haunted by her mistakes.

Eight years later, Shaye is forced to return to the place she’d hoped never to see again. Now, she must face the people, and the pain she left behind. She must confront the person she was, and decide who she will become. Can Shaye forgive herself enough to let the past go, and let love in?

Outstanding Story & Listen🎧 Heartfelt & Moving!

Wow, what an amazing and beautiful story. This is my first book by Rie Anders and it will not be my last. I enjoyed her writing style, her descriptive details brings you right along side the characters, letting you see what they see, feel what they are feeling. Her characters are complex and well developed. I adored these characters especially Shaye and Nick, the secondary characters are amazing too. Also loved where the story is set, in the Northwest. This story is about young love that was ended by tragedy. My heart was broken for all involved. I will not go into detail but I highly recommend this emotionally charged story, there is so much to it. There is never a dull moment, plenty of drama, angst, twists, some fun time, some heart wrenching one all leading to a great romance, as well as friendships for life. Rie Anders thank you for this wonderful story and the emotional rollercoaster ride. You know how to bring out all the feels.

I listened to the Audible edition. Less Lamb is a terrific narrator and voice performer. She brings these characters to life, gives each their own voice and personality. She sets the perfect tone for the story and does an awesome job projecting the emotion of the characters into her performance. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another great listen🎧

An excellent read/listen

This was my first Rie Anders book and I was hooked to Pavey Boulevard, the first book in The Island Series, from the beginning of the book. This is the story of Shay moving back to her family holiday home on Lopaz Island for the Summer to figure out what the future holds for her. Along the way she meets Jason, Nick and Evie, these three siblings that she has known since childhood and will change her life forever. This is just not a heartfelt love story but a story that will make you laugh, make you cry and keeps you wanting more. Lessa Lamb did an excellent job in narrating Pavey Boulevard and makes it vary easy to get enchanted with these characters and binge listen from beginning to end. I can not wait for the rest of Rie Anders Island Series to come out on audiobook and hope that Lessa Lamb continues to be the narrator for this series. 

Pavey Boulevard is a must read/listen for 2021.

Loved the book! I need more!

I absolutely loved this book. It was such a nice change from the “normal” romance stories where real life tragedy happens instead of the stupid dramatic situations that many romance stories have. I seriously loved the characters and NEED more to this story. An epilogue or part 2 and 3. The author spend the perfect amount of time developing the characters and setting. I felt like I was there living as the heroine. The narrator was amazing too! I need to read more of this authors books right away!
