Restore Me

New Haven, Book 1

By: J.L. Seegars

Narrated by: Bianca Drew, Winston James

Sloane: Dominic Alexander is my late husband's best friend and the last man that I should want. For the last ten years, he's taken a sick pleasure in making me feel paper thin, like my existence is of no consequence to him at all.

But now, things are different.

After a drunken night, and a surprisingly sexy act of heroism, he's started to be . . . nice. Treating me like something other than the embodiment of his annoyance, which would be nice if it didn't make me feel things I swore to never feel for another man after my husband died.

Dominic: Sloane Kent is going to be my undoing.

What's worse: I think I'm going to enjoy being unraveled by the gold flecks in her hazel eyes and the way she scrunches her nose when we're arguing, which we've done a lot of over the past decade. She thinks it's because I hate her, and I've let her think that because the alternative is . . . untenable.

But something is changing between us, and I don't know how to stop myself from breaking every promise I've ever made to myself regarding my best friend's wife. Promises that include never telling her that there's a long list of things I feel about her, but hate isn't one of them.

Contains mature themes.

This book was so riveting and romantic!

I love the characters and how the meaning of love was portrayed. Very good read.

Love Beating The Odds

This book was such a pleasant surprise; I enjoyed every minute. The background was described with visual clarity, I could actually see the details of the college campus; I could feel the struggle between Sloan and her mother. There was no down time in this book. It was laid out perfectly with a few surprises thrown in. ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Different but enjoyable

As most the lady narrator was not a good fit for this book. Wesleigh Siobhan or iikane would have been the better fit. The storyline was good, but the lady character had her annoying ways. Maybe a bit longer than need be.

A Captivating Journey of Passion and Intrigue

"Restore Me" by J.L. Seegars is a captivating read that masterfully blends heat and romance with an engaging storyline. The chemistry between the characters is undeniably steamy, drawing the reader in from the very first page. Seegars does an excellent job of weaving intricate plot twists that keep you guessing, making it hard to put the book down. With well-developed characters and a compelling narrative, this book is a treat for anyone who enjoys a passionate and intriguing journey. Highly recommend for lovers of romance!

Great story.

This was really a good story! Less female narration would have kept me more focused. I found myself uninterested and had to keep rewinding more than I preferred.

That was an unexpected twist! I loved this story!

The FMC’s narration was a little cringy at times, but the story makes up for it. Dom, Dom, Dom!! He’s a man dreams are made of…swoon.

Beautiful Book

Loved the book but the woman narrator almost made me not finish this book with her robotic voice. I think I’ll read the remaining books.

Great and unexpected love story

I loved this story and I loved the spice but I found it almost unbearable to listen to the slow and robotic cadence of the voice for Sloan. It nearly ruined a very good story. I had to stop the audio several times and I found myself rolling my eyes with every chapter that started with her voice. It would have been nice and more balanced to hear more of the voice for Dom. I finally resorted to increasing the speed to get through it. I enjoyed all the characters but The lack of communication between Dom and Sloan became increasingly annoying by the end and the storyline seemed to drag on but I was glad they finally got it figured it out. I’m not sure I can listen to the other books in this series if Drew continues to narrate.

Too long.

The story was too long unnecessarily, but over all it's a good plot and the narrators did well.

obsessed

though I absolutely LOVED the ending, I did not want it to end. so riveting, complex, and sexy. I've been tied to this book all day for the past several days, trying to listen whenever I could. the author did an incredible job-every emotion was palpable. every touch leapt off the page. I need more of the magic between these two!
