Reverb

Trojan, Book 2

By: S.M. West

Narrated by: Jacob Morgan, Carmen Vine, Desireé Ketchum

From foster care to true love—then I lost her.

I never expected a second chance with her…not in this lifetime.

They think I have it all: bad boy rock star, rags to riches success story, darling of the tabloids.

But the truth is, I died at 18. Lost the only thing I ever wanted.

Her.

Now I’m buried in the wreckage, even music isn’t enough.

Until, out of nowhere, she shows up. A crash cart to my near-still heart.
And like me, Eva only wants one thing—for us to be together.

But even as our hearts beat strong and steady with the hope of our future, some second chances arrive too late.

From USA TODAY best-selling and award-winning author S.M. West comes an angsty, forbidden romance. Awarded NYC Big Book Award 2023 Distinguished Favorite in Romance.

“The only dream I ever had was her.”

Wow!! Reverb was a heartbreaking and breathtaking tale of two people that are destined for each other. Jared and Eva meet when they are in high school and are instantly drawn to each other although Jared does his best to fight the attraction. When tragedy tears them apart, can they find their way back to each other?

Honestly, I wasn’t sure that I wanted to read a book about Jared after meeting him in Clutch, but S.M. West does a fantastic job of showing us why Jared had behaved the way he did. He was a broken man who had lost his heart and his will for living. Underneath that hardened shell was a gentle man who loves completely and forever. It was beautiful. Jared’s journey of redemption and self-discovery was not easy and he fought tooth and nail for his future. His love for Eva was a thing of beauty and it made him want to be a better man.
Eva was such a kind and gentle soul and she loved fiercely. While she wasn’t afraid to fight for Jared, she also wanted to please her family. She was betrayed in the worst ways, but she was able to push through the pain and emerge even stronger on the other side.

These two did not have an easy road and had so many obstacles thrown at them, but their love never wavered. The depth of the betrayal they faced and the strength of their devotion was humbling.

The narrators for Reverb captured me from their first syllable and I was transfixed until the end. Jacob Morgan was OUTSTANDING! I swear the emotion was bleeding from his voice in some of the heartbreaking scenes and I could literally hear the pain in his voice. Carmen Vine's performance was equally captivating.

Reverb was an incredibly rich and emotional story that will shatter your heart and then put it back together again. Jared and Eva are wonderfully complex characters who are able to survive and overcome every hurdle that is thrown in their way. They are truly meant to be. Don’t miss this fascinating story.

4.5 stars

I will start this review by admitting I am not a second chance romance reader. Normally they do not hold my interest and they seem to sappy. This Is NOT your normal lost love book! The storyline captivated and kept me reading. You get the sweet back story of young love and the devastation of loss. Then we skip to the now and how both of their life’s have changed and the hurt that neither could ever escape from. The betrayal of family and friends is huge in this book. A really good read! I enjoyed the audiobook. I like that it had two different narrators. Both Jacob Morgan and Carmen Vine did a good job reading this book.
