River Wild

De: Samantha Towle

Narrado por: Savannah Peachwood, Sebastian York

From New York Times best-selling author Samantha Towle comes an unexpected love story between two unlikeliest of people....

A new town. A new identity. Pregnant and alone. And far away from a past that can never find me.

River Wild. Moody. Sullen. Jerk. And my new neighbor.

I have no interest in befriending River. And he definitely doesn’t want to be befriended by me.

Then, he helps me rescue an abandoned dog. And that day, I see something in his eyes that reflects back in my own. Sadness. Pain. Loneliness.

I know all of those things well.

An unwanted and unexpected friendship that somehow works. Then, without warning, it turns into something more.

River and I both have our secrets, and that’s okay. Because I understand him. And he understands me.

For the first time in my life, I have something I never thought I would have - happiness.

But happiness isn’t forever. Not for people like me.

Especially not when my past is waiting just around the corner, ready to come and take it all away.

Awesome Book!!

This story was excellent. It had a little of everything. The only thing I didn’t love was the female narrator. The story made up for it.

Beautiful, heart -felt story!

Fiver beautiful stars! Entertaining and a beautiful love story. I wish I had listened sooner!

Great Story

This book showed life can suck sometimes and threw me for a loop. loved it!!!

loved it

I really enjoyed reading this author.  I look forward to reading more books by this author in the near future.

Wow! Amazing book

Loved this story, very emotional and a little trick at the end had me in shambles thankfully it turned around! 10/10 book for me!

Tragic and Beautiful

River Wild was tragic. It starts off tragic and nearly ends tragically as well, but there is so much beauty in between. I loved how Carrie was so supportive and accepting of River, despite his faults. These two both had really traumatic and damaging histories and so watching their story unfold was absolutely beautiful. It was a super slow burn while these two built the foundation of their relationship through being there for each other, and working through their individual traumas despite the fact that their pasts were eerily similar.

Worth the credit

I consider myself knowledgeable about romance novels. With over 1600 Audible books in my cloud. This book was right there. Fact based story where the author knows it or not. The authors research was spot on with the abusers and the victim. Most of the time it’s not right but this book pulled me in and I listen for the entire book. Well done!

Needed more of the male perspective...

While I know the majority of this story was centered around Carrie, I think it needed to have more chapters dedicated to an adult River trying to get through his days. Sebastian York knows how to pull it all together, but most of his reading time was spent as the child River, not the grown River. Nothing against Savannah - though she tends to be a little breathy sometimes. I think it just would have better balanced this book since they both have/had demons in their past that they were trying to exorcise. There are instances of abuse, rape, child abuse and such - but thankfully they do not go into explicit detail on that. However, it could trigger things so I would send a slight be wary to those that could be affected. Overall the book was good, and I was happy with the ending. A lot of serious issues here, but it was very well done and will have you rooting for Carrie and River.

Amazing story

This was fantastic. I laughed and cried and laughed some more. Carrie and River share a very painful past. Both hurt by someone who was suppose to love them. The epilogue made me cry and laugh. Fantastic narration as always by these two. I highly recommend this audiobook

Beautiful story!

Do yourself a favor and get this audiobook! Story is beautiful and narration is on point!
