In the Heart of a Valentine, Book 5

By: Stephanie Nicole Norris

Narrated by: Jakobi Diem, Wesleigh Siobhan

As the CEO of Building Bridges LLC, Bri is driven by determination for success. However, while planning the wedding of one of Chicago's hottest couples, Bri's focus is shifted when the strum of a nocturnal voice captures her attention. Being an empath has empowered her sense of compassion for others, so she's not only drawn to him because of his broken heart but also from a fierce attraction that sparks her interest and tap dances on a groove on her heart. Getting involved with someone who's not open to love may prove to be the most difficult road Bri has ever journeyed, but she's unable to stop herself from falling into an irresistible tango of love.

World-renowned photographer Raphael Valentine hasn't been in the public eye since the tragic death of his fiancee four years prior. To date, his time is spent helping his charity of choice - educating the community about the dangers of driving while intoxicated. For him, love is a thing of the past until meeting Bri St. James at his brother's rehearsal dinner made Raphael question what he'd always believed to be true. As a friendship between the two flourishes, and they're cloaked in a dynamic surge of desire, Raphael is met with the ultimate challenge: surrender to a second chance at love or abandon his happily ever after for a lifetime.

Contains mature themes.

It all started with a hug

Of all the Valentine brothers stories That I have read to this point, this one was my favorite It had a little bet of everything I loved Raphael and how he dealt with his pain.

Best book so far!

This had my attention the entire time! Chapter 10 is by far my favorite part of this book! I listen to it as I fall asleep and it had my dreams going wild!

Hooked!

The photo alone of Donnell "Donny Savage" Blaylock alone had me intrigued. The narrators voices were perfect. The author did a great job having me envision the story. This could be a movie. I wonder if there will be a spinoff from the series about her brother, Dean 🤔 #MyFavoriteStoryHandsDown

Pretty sure I was there

Thats how i feel when listening to these series. I am totally in love with the greek love this author is portraying. Seriously, this one was word porn! The descriptive verbiage that is filtered through each scene takes me through the roof!!! You doing your thing Ms. Norris. And of course the narrators are superb!

I’m HOOKED!!!!

This series is sooo good!!!! Can’t get enough! So well written and very addicting. Love it!

YES YES YES

I need a Raphael in my life. This was so good. Had me crying all over the place. This brother I see is the quiet, yet hold no bars type, especially in the bedroom. I was nervous for Bri, but she handled it well. And Jakobi's narrative of a pissed of Raphael, whoa! He get a🏆 audible academy award.

twist &turns

I loved this book ... this one is a close second to the 3rd book about the valentine brothers. baby!!! CHAPTER 9.... MAKE SURE YOUR HEADPHONES ARE CONNECTED! LOL 😂

From 💔 To ❤️!!

This was a great book! I loved the way Bri was able to help Raphael find true love again. She was patient and allowed him to fall in love with her. ❤️ Although she wanted him badly 🤤 she played her role and in the end he made the best decision to be with her. 👰🏽‍♀️. I really love the Valentine men. They really know how to treat a lady. Ms. Norris please continue what you are doing with your writing because I truly look forward to your books!

My favorite is the series

Raphael is so dang sexy. Stephanie did her art work in this story. I loved the story line, the characters, and how the brothers are there. I could relate to Bri’s brother story. Her support system was remarkable. Also, the couple’s race and the respect for the deceased. I loved it. I need to hear more of Jakobi. Wesleigh know she is magnificent at what she do, but I want to hear more of Mr. Diem. Hey it! You won’t be disappointed.

The highly positive reviews were right

I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book and would recommend it to anyone who loves serious romance. It’s not totally realistic, but it’s also a work of fiction so ….. I liked both main characters, which is always a plus and it’s a draw into the series and other characters so that is also a plus for the author, et al. I enjoyed the narration and think it helps the story. Worth a credit.
