The Path to You

A Jetty Beach Romance, Book 7

De: Claire Kingsley

Narrado por: Lee Samuels, Vanessa Edwin

He’ll protect her no matter the cost

Although I’ve achieved my dream of owning my own restaurant, something is still missing from my life. I’m the one guy I know who didn’t get the girl.

And then Sadie walks into my life.

She works for me, so I’m not supposed to want her. But she awakens something inside me I thought was dead and gone. I was numb, and she makes me feel again.

She’s running from her past, but I won’t let it catch her. I’ll protect her from whatever she left behind. She gave me a reason to care. If she’ll let me, I’ll give her a reason to trust and show her we belong together.

Excellent series finale

Gabriel needed something to bring the spark back into his life. Sadie needed a safe place to land and hide, & a comforting, gentle touch to make her believe in humanity again. Thrown together in true Clover fashion, these two met by happenstance…or fate, if you will.
Once they both looked past the first impression & actually took the chance to have a conversation, their easiness with each other reflected what would blossom into a beautiful relationship. They just fit. No other words to describe them…they fit. Sadie is everything Amanda wasn’t for Gabe & Gabe is Sadie’s shelter in the storm.
The backstory was suspenseful & as it all played out, I was on the edge. But…karma man…everyone got what they deserved. Some good, some bad, but Sadie & Gabe coming out in the end with the family they chose…chef’s kiss.

Audiobook Review:
Vanessa Edwin & Lee Samuels narration was superb. Their delivery completely immersed me in the story & the emotions. I felt the tension of the plot in my soul.

I love Jetty Beach!

I have absolutely loved the Jetty Beach books, and The Path to You was a perfect ending to the series! Gabe and Sadie's story will keep you hooked from start to finish. It's got the sexiness and steam that Claire Kingsley nails every time, but this one also had a bit of suspense in it too. Sadie's got a bit of a mysterious past that's threatening to derail the budding relationship she's started with Gabe, but little does she know that Gabe isn't like the previous man in her life - and he will do anything to protect her. Vanessa Edwin always does an amazing job with her narrations, and I loved her as Sadie. And Lee Samuels - this was my first narration of his, but he knocked it out of the park as Gabe and I can't wait to listen to more books with him in it.

If you've listened to all the rest of the Jetty Beach books, I know you'll love this one. Even if you haven't listened to any of them, this is fantastic audio and I highly recommend it!

the perfect finale!

oh my goodness, they really finished up this series with a BANG! I love Claire Kingsley and Jetty Beach so much, this was just the absolutely most perfect way to finish the series! Gabriel and Sadie bring out the best in one another, once they decide to take the risk and give one another a chance! just magnificently done!

Chef’s Kiss 🤌🏼

4.5 stars. This book was the first book I read from the series, but I want to go back and read the other ones. The FMC, Sadie, is hiding from her stalker and brother’s BF, who violated her. She meets the grumpy MMC, Gabe. This man is the best when he gets Sadie to trust him. I loved how his family and friends supported her when her family didn't. The other thing I liked about this story is how often Sadie mentions her therapist because I usually read how a SA survivor doesn't or it isn't highlighted.

Gabe and his fierce protectiveness!!!!

Gabe and Sadie's story is my second favorite from Jetty Beach. Vanessa Edwin and Lee Samuels did a spectacular job narrating. Vanessa is one of the few female narrators that can nail the male narration just as good as the female. I feel like Lee's voice was perfect for the type of person Gabe is.

When her entire family doubted a horrible incident that happened to her she left her home in Missouri and headed east. Just as she begins to build a new life her past catches up with her but she isn't alone in it this time....she has Gabe. He is so protective over Sadie almost from the very beginning and it is so sexy! Poor Sadie just needs a man to treat her the way she deserves and there is no man better than Gabe.

Gabe and Sadie

Running from the man who raped her trying to rebuild her life , with the fear the man will find her , Sadie unexpectedly finds herself working for Gabe who at first was not happy that his friend Clover hired her. Gabe was lost, losing his passion as a chef while all of his friends found love. Then Sadie comes to work at his restaurant and he senses her being broken, but is also attracted to her. Gabe falls for her and patiently shows her she can trust him, and helps her heal and renew her passion. When the man comes after her, Gabe is ready, he will do anything to put the man away so she can stop living in fear. Even when the man destroys his dream, Sadie helps him see the possibilities of his dream turning into theirs with a bright future.

Sadie and Gabe

We have waited a long time for Gabe's story. I really liked getting all of him here. This story is a bit heavier than a lot of the others in this series, but it just goes to highlight how fantastic Gabe is and how strong Sadie is.

I really liked Vanessa's Sadie. She played the emotions needed well. Lee wasn't bad, but I found his pacing awkward at times, like he was pausing before in the middle of the lines.

We got to catch up on a lot of our Jetty Beach friends here, would have loved to see them, especially Gabe's sister more.

Beautiful story!

What a perfect ending to the Jetty Beach series. Both Gabe and Sadie were people you instantly loved. Claire always writes the slow burn in a story so well, the same was true in this novel. Such a beautiful story of healing, growth and love. If you have read the rest of the books in the series you will enjoy the appearances of the others you already fell in love with. The epilogue was a perfect way to end without having a book series hangover. It felt so complete.

Lee Samuels and Vanessa Edwin are both so good in this audio! I need to give a special shout out to Vanessa’s man voice! Wow! I’m so happy this series is complete in audio. Such a great series!

Great listen

I’m so sad the Jetty Beach series is over and certainly did not disappoint. I have been so impressed with the narrators for this entire series it really brought Claire’s words to life. If you haven’t already you really need to grab this one. Perfect beach summer time read and listen!

A great end to a fabulous series

I can't believe this is the last book in the Jetty Beach series. I had read many of Claire's more recent books before getting to this series, and I'm so glad I finally picked them up. It was nice to get to listen to them on audio so I could easily take them everywhere with me.

The series has gotten better with every book and The Path to You is probably my favorite. Gabe and Sadie were interesting characters and I really liked their chemistry and their relationship development. I could see the connection between them from early on and I thought everything happened at a nice pace.

I also liked getting to catch up with some of my favorite characters from previous books. it was nice how they fit into this story as well as getting glimpses of what their lives are like now.

The narrators did a great job bringing Gabe and Sadie to life and I highly recommend picking this book up on audio!
