Garrett

By: Riley Edwards

Narrated by: Janine Granda, Sebastian York

Former GRS operator and Navy SEAL Garrett Davis is the walking, talking definition of regret. His guilt weighs heavy. The pain and misery he carries cripples him. When a tragic accident takes him back to his hometown, he’s not prepared to face the woman he left behind. The woman who should’ve been his—was his, until he broke her heart.

Mellie doesn’t have time for Garrett to strong-arm his way back into her life. She doesn’t want to remember all the ways he loved and protected her when they were children. It’s not easy to dream of a life full of love when your high school sweetheart dumps you before you make it down the aisle. She’s long ago given up on happy endings. Besides, all thoughts of happiness evaporate when your sister is murdered and the police don’t believe you.

But what she wants and what she needs are very different when her sister’s killer turns his attention on her.

Garrett has one shot to protect the woman he’s loved since they were kids. One shot to heal two broken hearts. One chance to prove their future is worth fighting for. Garrett’s redemption won’t come easy, as Melissa Rivers is not the same girl he broke.

Spoiler alert: He fails. So he does what he figures any man who is faced with losing everything does—he kidnaps her and takes to the only person he knows who can help him—Zane Lewis.

Too bad the killer follows....

Second chance

Garrett gets a second chance at love and happiness with the help of his team. Enjoyable. The narrators Janine and Sebastian gave a fantastic performance.

Great book!

Overall best book of the series! I love Garrett! The story was awesome and had me laughing, crying and frustrated! loved it!

Garrett and Mellie

I was so ready to hear Garrett's story and I knew it was going to be one of my favorites. Garrett is the teams I/T guru and has been there for his brothers through all of the drama of their lives. He has been their shoulder, their backup, but most of all their protector and brother.

Garrett had to go home because his dad was in a rehab facility and he wanted to make sure he was okay. He knew there was a chance he would run into his life line, the person who he would have been married to, the person who would have had his children, but each time he was around she avoided him at all costs. Mellie was the breath he needed to take to live but couldn't. He hurt her but she moved on....or so he thought!

Mellie didn't want to live in the past. She moved on from Garrett and needed to stay on that path. Yes she still got goosebumps and she still felt that nudge, she didn't want to go back to what could have been and she had a niece and nephew that she needed to help her parents with. She needed to get down to the bottom of why she was killed and if he husband had anything to do with it.

Mellie needed Garrett more than she thought but could she depend on him to come through for her like? Will he leave her stranded without help and hope if she decided to take his offer?

Sebastian and Janine did a fantastic job with the end of this series!!

Very entertaining book and performance

I love the characters in this book (and series) and the depth of their feelings - the depth of their pain, the depth of their joy. The road to the restoration of an old romance is long but so well written, so good! The suspense keeps the story moving. And of course the happy ending is wonderful. The performance is very good.

Garrett, oh Garrett...

It was written by Riley Edwards and it is a part of Z Corp...and Sebastian York is one half of the narration duo (that does not negate Janine's awesome narration I just love Sebastian's voice)... In my mind I don't think I need to say more....BUT I will.

Garrett, oh Garrett...both him and the rest of the guys have hinted enough that I knew his story would hurt. That man carries too much guilt and can't seem to get out of his own way. But apparently the universe finally got tired of his stubbornness too, and fate took him back into the love of his life's orbit. And of course Melissa has ended up in danger... so brooding, alpha protector, 'I will stop at nothing to protect her' Garrett comes out. And you know all of Z Corps, including the new members/his old teammates instantly have his back full throttle. Mellie isn't exactly keen to be back in Garrett's world, as the pain and regrets for both are heavy, but the rocky path will be worth it. They just have to survive a seemingly insurmountable volley of danger, harrowing heart stopping moments and pulse-pounding suspense to secure their HEA. And let's not forget all the laughter...love the banter that always adds levity to the intensity of a Z Corps story.

Absolute Must-Listen!

Garrett is the sixth audiobook in Riley Edwards’ phenomenal Blue Team series. I have probably looked forward to Garrett’s story more than any other Blue Team member. I was more than intrigued by the little hints we’ve gotten in previous books in the series. In this, we finally find out exactly who Garrett’s lost love is and why he left her... and why he’s made himself stay away despite the fact that he’ll love Mellie Rivers forever. But when Mellie’s sister is murdered, he’s there to help her when no one else will. And as his carefully-constructed control falls away, so do his reasons for denying her love. But just as he’s accepting this revelation, her sister’s murderer sets his sights on her, and he has to depend on his team to help him protect the love of his life.

This romantic, witty, emotional, and action-packed story is narrated by the incomparable talents of Janine Granda and Sebastian York. Janine Granda’s emotional portrayal of Mellie is spot-on, effortlessly capturing the wounded strength and hesitant hope of this endearing character. And Sebastian York is the perfect choice to voice the tortured yet unbreakable spirit that drives the character of Garrett. All the guilt, self-loathing, and yearning Garrett feels come through so clearly in his passionate performance. Together, these two fantastic voice artists flawlessly bring all the joy and pain, hope and doubt, and love and longing of this story to life, making this an absolute must-listen for any romance audio fan!

Meant to Be!

Ok so honestly, I bumped this ahead of two or more books and maybe 5 audios on my TBR. As always Sebastian York and Janine Granda do not disappoint with narrating this one. I truly enjoy their collaboration and bringing the characters to life for easy listen! If you've read Riley's team series then you've met Garrett and you know how important he is to everyone. You also get small nuggets of information about him and his past until Blue Team when you get a little more information. Well Garrett is still a mystery I needed to solve and I'm so glad I did. Garrett has carried so much guilt/self-loathing that you knew once he opened up you were going to be feeling his pain while also celebrating when he finally was able to let it all go and get a HEA. Garrett and Melissa have a lot of history and not all of it was pretty but the love was easy for everyone to see. Melissa is in danger when Garrett finally sees her again and decides not to stand idly by. His team takes his back and helps sort him and keep his "family" safe. This one is a must listen because it answers so many questions and of course has the banter/laughter factor with the team/Zane antics.
