Wounded Hearts

A Romance Novelette

By: Lona Edwins

Narrated by: John Sender

She saves lives. He breaks the rules. But love doesn’t follow protocol.

Emily Carter has enough on her plate - back-to-back night shifts at the ER, a hospital scandal threatening her best friend’s job, and a black lab named Pippen who thinks he’s a lap dog. The last thing she needs is Logan Reid, the tattooed mechanic with a reckless streak and a crooked smile that should come with a warning label.

After a run-in at the hospital, Logan keeps turning up - in the park, in her driveway, and eventually, in her thoughts. He’s everything she’s sworn to avoid: complicated, unpredictable, and carrying a past he doesn’t talk about. But behind the leather jacket and the sarcasm is a man who fixes more than just engines. He might even be the one to help Emily put herself back together.

When secrets surface and loyalties are tested, Emily will have to decide if some risks are worth taking… and if love can really grow in the cracks.

Perfect for fans of slow burns, lovable dogs, and grumpy heroes with soft centers.

Clean and wholesome

Wounded Hearts by Lona Edwins is an excellent clean and wholesome romance. John Sender did an amazing job with the narration. The story is entertaining, interesting, engaging, romantic, funny, clean, wholesome, and more. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. Highly recommend.

An ok listen

A quick listen. Short romance novels often face the challenge of building strong chemistry between characters in a limited time, and unfortunately, this one didn’t quite hit the mark for me. The narration was okay—not bad, just not particularly memorable. Overall, the experience was fine, but it felt a bit too average to truly stand out.

True to its Description and worth the Listen.

The story, and relationship between the main characters develops naturally, and unforced. Its easy to follow. The conflict faced in this relationship isnt based on toxicity between them so thats also a plus. Its respectful.

The Narrator is precise, clear, calming to listen to, and doesnt make up unnecessary alternate vioces for the main characters. Perfectly read.
