Revive Me

Part One: The Act (New Haven Series, Book 2)

By: J. L. Seegars

Narrated by: Bianca Drew, Winston James

Mallory

The first time I kissed Christopher Johnson, I knew he would be my biggest mistake. It was supposed to be a simple business arrangement, a few months of playing a role that came far too easily to the both of us, but it wasn't long before it became more. Love. Devotion. Heartbreak in its truest form.

Some people say life is for the living, but I say life is for the prepared. To avoid unfortunate complications like having your heart broken by a man past experiences taught you, you never should have trusted in the first place.

Christopher

There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do for Mallory Kent. She's strong, serious, and always in control of every situation around her, which is why the second I see her looking panicked and uncertain in the arms of a figure from her past, I don't think. I just act.

I had no idea that one small decision would lead to this. A fake relationship—designed to solve her problems and mine—turned real. An earth shattering love torn apart by the very forces that led to its conception. There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do for Mallory Kent, including break her heart to save her soul.

Contains mature themes.

Amazing

So good I couldn’t stop listening! I can’t wait to listen to the sequel. The characters and plot keep you on your toes!

Emotional

The dad and brother are the DEVIL...I wish Chris just would've told Mal the truth, they could've weathered the storm.

A Story of Love, Loss & Restoration

Let me start by saying this clearly… this book is erotic. Very. Very. Very erotic. 😅 At least for me.
Now that we’ve acknowledged that, let’s move past the spice and talk about what this story really gave.
This wasn’t just a romance. I saw FOUR different love stories woven into one novel.
Dominic Anderson’s Love
Dominic loved Salome from the moment he saw her. But what made his love powerful wasn’t just desire — it was sacrifice.
Imagine loving a woman deeply, believing she could be your soulmate… but your best friend — the man you call brother — loves her too. And she marries him.
Dominic chose loyalty.
He chose patience.
He chose their happiness over his own.
That’s heart love. That’s sacrificial love.
Salome’s Love & Loss
Salome loved Eric. Built a life with him. Then lost him.
But the heartbreak didn’t stop there.
She also experienced the devastating loss of a baby — a future that never got the chance to breathe. That kind of grief changes you. It reshapes how you love and how you trust.
And beneath all of that was another ache — not being loved by her mother the way she longed to be loved.
That’s heavy.
And yet… she found the strength to love again.
I’m not going to lie — there were moments I wanted to jump into the pages and say, “Girl, just tell him! We are wasting time!” 😂 But her hesitation wasn’t weakness. It was trauma. It was protecting what was left of her heart.
Love After Grief
Loving again after losing a husband and a child? That takes courage.
Dominic didn’t try to erase her past. He honored it. He loved her patiently and intentionally.
That’s mature love.
Sisterhood & Support
And let’s not overlook Mallory. She was steady. Supportive. A real sister. The kind of woman who protects, not competes.
Yes, this book was spicy 🌶️
But beneath the heat was healing.
This wasn’t an entanglement story.
It was a story about sacrifice, waiting, grief, loyalty, and restoration.
Dominic and Salome did it
