Steadfast

True North: Small Town Romance, Book 2

De: Sarina Bowen

Narrado por: JF Harding, Vanessa Edwin

She’s the only one who ever loved him—and the only one he can never have.

Jude lost everything one spring day when he crashed his car into an apple tree on the side of the road. A man is dead, and there's no way he can ever right that wrong. He’d steer clear of Colebury, Vermont forever if he could. But an ex-con in recovery for his drug addiction can’t find a job just anywhere.

Sophie Haines is stunned by his reappearance. After a three year absence, the man who killed her brother and broke her heart is suddenly everywhere she turns. It’s hard not to stare at how much he’s changed. The bad boy who used to love her didn’t have big biceps and sun-kissed hair. And he’d never volunteer in the church kitchen.

No one wants to see Sophie and Jude back together, least of all Sophie's police chief father. But it's a small town. And forbidden love is a law unto itself.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This book slayed me. I was up until 3am finishing it!" -Feeding My Addiction Book Reviews

"Sarina Bowen has topped herself again. I couldn't put down Steadfast!" -Unapologetic Book Addict

"A dark and heart rending story. I was inspired to think more about giving people second chances and the benefit of the doubt. Also? It's really, really sexy." -Tiff at Mostly YA Lit

Emotional & Raw

This story grabbed hold of my heart from the get go. I absolutely adore Sophie and Jude and was in their corner from the start. They sure had their share of struggles and it seemed almost impossible at times that they would make it through to the other side. The narration is on point and easy in the ears and I thought JF and Vanessa were the perfect Jude and Sophie. I really enjoyed listening to this it really brought this wonderful story to life for me.

Incredible

The new narrators just brought this book to another level. I can’t get over how amazing they did. They truly took on these characters and it showed.

It’s just a messy raw beautiful story. Even though this was a reread for me I was still full of anticipation for things to happen. This book brings out so many emotions. I forgot just how much it makes me feel.

I love Jude and Sophie so much. They have a rough road but it all comes together wonderfully. Plus they have some insane chemistry!

Definitely recommend but check the trigger warnings prior to read!

Loved this second chance storyline.

I loved this second chance with a bit of forbidden storyline. Jude and Sophie love was forbidden from the start. Separated by a devastating accident, their longing for each other is palpable. Add in twist and turns and you’ll be hooked from beginning to end. A great addition to this series. Narration is fantastic!

Steadfast was SO MUCH and so good!

Steadfast was SO MUCH- so much longing, regret, desire, and so very HOT! Jude will grab your heart and you'll feel it squeeze as you read the story of his past and you'll ache with him for the future he thinks he can't have. Sophie is amazing- after the unthinkable changed her life, she became strong for her family, but put herself and her dreams on the back burner. Still an independent woman on the inside, you'll love following her Nancy Drew journey as she investigates the past. Steadfast has everything you want in a second chance romance. I was excited to listen to this newly recorded audiobook and JF Harding and Vanessa were just so great- their performances were top notch.

love sarina bowen

I love her books in general they don't have alot of the cliche stuff you hear in most books which is a plus in my book to me her characters are real and it's perfectly spiced and feels natural like the sexy scenes are natural and not just written in just bc they feel right and the problems the characters ruin into are like every day real issues not just the man doesn't do relationships and the girl just has "walls" around her heart lol....I love this series
