Reclaimed Hearts, Book 4

By: Elle Keaton

Narrated by: Gabriel McKnight

Trust is a thing of the past. All that matters is the truth.

Forrest Cooper: Cooper Springs' resident lavender farmer has a short list of people he trusts. A newcomer to town is not making his list. Ever. Especially not one who is first on the scene of a murder.

Nero Vik: Recently laid off and once again single, the ex-investigative reporter is digging into the sordid history of Cooper Springs. He's not in town to make friends, he's there to solve an old mystery and maybe bring closure to those who need it. But when he discovers a local man murdered, all eyes are on him. Once Nero starts investigating, he has questions, most of them for Forrest Cooper.

Forrest is not giving the new guy an inch, much less discussing his sordid family history. His past is not up for debate on some nickel-and-dime podcast hosted by a hack writer.

One man has dedicated himself to putting his past where it belongs—behind him. The other is determined to expose the truth—no matter how painful it is.

The perfect storm brings them together. Will they make it through to the other side?

Contains mature themes.

Good story. Good narration.

The entire series was interesting. It certainly followed the reclaimed hearts theme. The mysteries felt a bit scattered but definitely more realistic than many mystery series. This book does a decent job of wrapping up the threads. The romance had some moments, but I didn't have quite the attachment to the characters that I have experienced in some of Keaton's other series. I did enjoy this book and the series overall. The narration was good, but I think the narrator could use a bit more practice with voice acting. His voice is pleasant, but his character voices and pronunciations felt off sometimes. Still worth the listen if you need someone to read you books when you have busy hands.
