The Man I Need

Ward Duet, Book 2

By: Shanora Williams

Narrated by: Lacy Laurel, Scott Rider

There are things that women want and things that women need. I know deep down, with every fiber in my body, that I need Mr. Ward.

He started out as my landscape designer but became so much more. Now, my life is on the line while living with the devil himself. I have been torn down and broken, and I don’t think I can take anymore.

The man I need was never the one I married. No, the man I need is the one I was never supposed to have. He’s the one who showed me gentleness, kindness, and true love.

Ward would put up a fight for me at any cost. I know for a fact I could be so much happier with him. But when I come face-to-face with reality, I’m not sure if I’m brave enough to risk it all for someone I’ve just met, even if it seems like Mr. Ward and I are a match made in heaven.

Crazy

🤬!!! Why was Kyle and his mama crazy??? I didn’t think I was gonna like this book, but I did. The first book started off kinda dry but by the end I was like omg! Then I couldn’t stop listening. I hate to listen when a woman has a bunch of trauma, but dang!!! Marcel was bay for real. Even though they met
though they met under some crazy circumstances. Gabby had good friends and neighbors too.

Good story , but lots of critiques

Ok so let me start off my saying I don’t rally critique books. I like it or I don’t. But I have a lot of issues with the narrators.
When doing character voices they were so all over the place. The H had that simple southern accent which is correct. But then the h doing the Hs voice made him sound like he was from New Orleans. Also each one had a different way of doing the h’s husband as well. That was super annoying. I hated how the h did her father’s voice. The female narrator also had many moments where she sounded like a news anchor when reading.

No Daddy

This story went left for me when Gabby forgave her father. WTF? No Shanora! Daddy was a bad man and did not deserve forgiveness.

Healing from Pain

This book is a journey of healing from abuse, betrayal and guilt. I appreciate how the author navigates the characters through their trauma, both helping the other rebuild their self-worth and enjoy the love that is presented to them. The subject matter can be difficult for some readers/listeners so proceed with caution.

beautifully done from beginning to end

The Characters just shine. realistically written, no excessively descriptive dialog
Just raw beauty. I have loved Mr. Black and Mr. Cane series.. and have loved these two. .. please keep the love coming Shanora!
