Damaged and the Beast

By: Bijou Hunter

Narrated by: Rayna Whitney

As heir to the local motorcycle club and crime syndicate, Cooper Johansson is accustomed to taking what he wants. His newest conquest is college freshman Farah Smith.

When the tattooed bad boy reminds her of a rough childhood she desperately wishes to forget, Farah keeps him at arm's length. Yet, Cooper refuses to give up. He pushes her buttons, tears through her walls, and forces her to admit her feelings for him. What begins as lust soon builds into something more powerful than either expects.

Can a beast like Cooper heal the damage inside the girl of his dreams?

Love can fix Damage and tame Beasts

This book is a great introduction to Bijou Hunters damaged series. You get to meet Farrah and Cooper and are introduced to the rest of the Johansen family and the town of Ellisburg.

Farrah has experienced a lot of tragedy and bad in her young life. She's come to college to start fresh. Cooper is a rough around the edges biker. While a biker is the last person Farrah wants in her life Cooper is exactly what she needs.

Over all the story is great just know there is alot of cussing and that some of the events could be triggering.

The narrator was new to me but definitely someone I will be checking out. I can't wait to get the next book in this series!

YA Romance At It's BEST.

OK. So some of the sex was a bit heavy for YA, but the characters were so in that scene that it's all I can categorize it as. I loved the way I was kept waiting until 3/4 through to verify what I expected as her reason for fear. Conner was every girls dream but I believed it. He screwed up enough to keep him real. The writing included peripheral imagery that heightened my visualization. A must for me as well as a HEA ending because the premise could be expanded with more angst and background ending with a cliffhanger and a sequel. The narrator's voice was easy to listen to. The only complaint was in Connor's portrayal. He was mono tonal with no emotion, all statements ending tone down. This book warrants dual narration with male and female narrators.
I was given this book free by the narrator, author, or publisher for an honest review through Audiobook Boom. Thank you! I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Love this story!

So much more depth than expected. They are NA (new adults) so there is a lot of insecurity and immaturity. But I love Cooper and Farah so much! I wish the author had been able to put more if the series on audio.

The narrator was fabulous!

Damaged and the Beast.....

HMMMM I HAVE MIXED EMOTIONS ABOUT THIS BOOK....So let's Start with the Narrator, Rayna Whitney DID AN AMAZING JOB! You can definitely tell the difference between character & her voice is really great! she will be on my "TO LISTEN TO LIST" from now on!! GREAT JOB RAYNA!!! Ok now on to the story....I have such conflicting feelings!! I wish the End WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SO RUSHED!! I wish we would've heard more about Tawny & when she arrived!! The parts I had THE HARDEST TIME DEALING WITH ARE,
1. This book says it's a YA(YOUNG ADULT)IN my honest opinion I think with how much(& how graphic)the sex in it is, it should NOT be listed as YOUNG ADULT!
2. The wording sometimes through me off REALLY BAD!!
OVERALL It wasn't a bad book! I did like it! I think the storyline could've been EPIC! You have to really "GO THERE" IN SOME OF THE ISSUES THOUGH!! It DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE ABOUT SEX!! I GOT SO SICK OF"(Cooper)Why Do You Love Me???(Farrah)Cause Your Hot" REALLY??? I MEAN COME ON!!! It definitely has some Unique ideas & it REALLY COULD'VE BEEN AMAZING!!

**** SO WAS IT WORTH A CREDIT???
**I'D SAY YES IT WAS! I DON'T REGRET READING IT!
