Savage Heart by Ria Wilde
4.0
Story: 4 Stars
Narrators: 5 Stars
This was the second book in the Wreck and Ruin series. This book follows Isobel (Kingston's sister) and Hunter. In book one we learned that Isobel was taken and held hostage for a long time.
The book starts with Isobel seeking revenge on Hunter, who was employed by the men who held her hostage and whom lied to her to gain her trust. The first half of the book Hunter really plays into the villain role and it's kind of hard to like him. As the story continues, however, the heart that Hunter tries so hard to hide is shown and by the end of the book I was completely in love with him.
Isobel is a great character. She's completely damaged and so it's hard at first to really relate to her but as we get glimpses into her time being held hostage we are able to form a better view of why she is who she is and why she does what she does.
I can't say why this is a 4 star story instead of 5 star without a spoiler but let's just say - I don't love what Isobel and Hunter do to Kingston in the end.
I listened to this book (thank you Blue Nose Audio for the ALC). It was done in duet narration (the male narrator reads all the male parts and the female narrator reads all the female parts). It's hard to go back once you've done duet narration because it's just so good! Joe Arden reads for the male dialogue and we get many voices of Joe - all of them being spectacular (obviously - it's Joe Arden). Zara Hampton-Brown reads for the female characters and she is just lovely. Isobel has an English accent but even she reads the American voices it is so lovely!
