Absolutely loved listening to this book

5 Stars
Noémie’s Journey AUDIO BOOK by Victoria Saccenti

Noémie’s Journey AUDIO BOOK by Victoria Saccenti is a Contemporary Romance that I absolutely loved listening to I found myself so caught up in the story I didn’t want to do anything else but listen to the narrator. I enjoyed listening I find it very calming especially with how crazy stuff is nowadays. Anyways this is my first audio book by this author and I’m definitely a fan. This is Richard and Noémie’s story you can say opposites attract only because one’s running from the past while the other is trying to make a future. God I love these to characters and their chemistry between them is crazy. Can these two have the relationship they want /need or will it end in heartbreak? I highly recommend listening/reading this to find out what happens next. I look forward to listening to more from this Author and the narrator.

intense romance

What a fantastic book! Based in the south in 1069, dealing with racial issues and romance and injustices made this book still relevant today. My favorite part was watching Noemie grown and take her life back. When she told Serena off, I was so happy for her. So well-written and beautifully done, I recommend this book to everyone.

Great Listen!

This was such a good listen! I was hooked from the beginning because the story was awesome and so was this narrator. This was a very long listen for me at over 12 hours. I had to listen in multiple sessions but I enjoyed it enough to keep coming back. I would recommend this to a friend!
Happy Reading!

Love in a small town

Noémie’s Journey AUDIO BOOK by Victoria Saccenti

4 out of 5 Stars

In 1968, Noemie BellaRose lives in a small South Carolina town.  Her family moved there from New Orleans.  Noemie fights the realities of living in this small town as a Creole woman but has made a home for herself and her brother.  Noemie is attending night school to finish her college degree in accounting.  A degree is part of Noemie’s plan to secure the future for her and her brother.  

Richard Winters left a broken dream in New York.  He got on his motorcycle and rode away from the pain and the past.  He stopped in Noemie’s small town.  Richard didn’t plan on staying but he did.  He didn’t want any trouble but he found it when the town’s Queen B took a shine to him.  Richard didn’t want love but fate had other plans when he crossed paths with Noemie.  

Noemie and Richard were battling the long-held beliefs in the South, Richard’s past, and Noemie’s family situation.  When things start coming to a head in the small town, will Richard and Noemie face the future together?  

The support that Noemie discovers from friends is endearing.  I love that Richard is not afraid to stand up for Noemie or their love no matter the cost to him.  This is a sweet love story with a HEA.  

Warning:  The book contains scenes depicting domestic violence.  This may trigger some listeners.

great story

This is my first audio book by this author which I enjoyed from beginning to end. I enjoyed being pulled into the story by the narrator’s tone of voice. I also enjoyed how they kept it engaging for me. The characters are not only connectable but the narrator also did a great job of bringing them to life. This is a story about Noemie and Richard. They are opposites, one running from the past and the other trying to make a future. What will fate have in store for these two? Can love find a way or will it be nothing but heartbreak? I really liked both of these characters and their chemistry together. It is a great romance story that I highly recommend. It is not only worth listening to but it will keep you listening to the end.
