About this listen

Savannah St. Claire grew up in a town where she was constantly bullied. Her only friends were brothers Billy and Travis Blue. The three of them were inseparable.

Billy Blue joined the Army when he turned 18 and was deployed to Afghanistan soon after. Four years later, Billy returns home and things are forever changed for this man who heroically fought for his country. He not only has to overcome his physical limitations, but he must confront his feelings for Savannah. With his confidence broken, he comes to the realization that there could be no way she would ever love him enough to look past the scars he possesses both inside and out.

What happens when two brothers love the same woman? Can broken hearts be mended? Will true love prevail above all else?

2nd chance at love

This was a cute short listen. Savannah and Billy were high school sweethearts. He broke up with her to go to the Army. The characters were strong and could tell they belonged together.
Kai and Wen were amazing at narration. I could feel or sense the emotions of the characters through their voices.

True Love prevails!

Military romance! I love books like this..the devoted girl, the injured war hero. There is nothing better than a good love story focusing on this. Savannah is home, heart broken that her high school sweetheart, Billy has broken up with her before leaving for the army. Billy is heart broken in the army, pining away for the love of his life, Savannah. When Billy comes home, will their love have survived the test of time? Will Savannah have moved on....and with who? Will she be able to overlook the disfigurement and mental anguish Billy now lives with? Nicole Garcia writes a heart felt love story with these two characters sure to give you the feels and passion needed to portray this kind of story. You will fall in love with the all the characters(love Billy's mom) and bring that sense of true love to your heart.

Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross portray this story to perfection. You can feel the pain and love each character feels along with them as the story goes on. Love this book!

A Military Romance

What a short but sweet second chance love story. Saving Private Blue was emotional and full of angst. I couldn't help but fall in love with both Billy and Travis. While I understand that Savannah's heart had been broken, I would have thought she might have been more understanding and caring when Billy came back home considering she worked at a Veterans' Hospital and talked with many patients there and saw how the war had affected them both physically and mentally and the challenges they faced after coming home. I was very happy with the ending though. Considering this says it is book 1 of a series, I hope that Travis ends up getting his own story because he deserves his own happily ever after.

Kai and Wen's back and forth duet narration was extremely well done as always. They did an amazing job bringing this story and these characters to life.

Excellent narrators

I liked this and there’s lots of feelings in this story but I kind of felt like I jumped in to the middle of the story. However, it was well worth listening to.

No unnecessary descriptions of surroundings
Lots of good dialogues
Characters are well described
Good chemistry between the main characters.

Narrators:
I love the narrators, clear pronunciation and read with passion makes me feel like I’m inside the story.

Fantastic Story & Audible Listen🎧 Heartfelt!!

I loved this book, it well written and it captivated my heart and my mind from start to end. Nicole Garcia fit a lot of story into this novella, the storylines are interesting, realistic and easily relatable. The characters are complex and well developed. Savannah’s best friends are Billy and Travis Blue. She was in love with Billy but he left her broken hearted and cut all ties with her before he left to to go serve his country. He did this out of love, he wanted her to live her life and not have to worry about him. Billy returned home four years later a wounded man. During that time Travis fell in love with Savannah but does she feel the same or is Billy still her true love. I liked all three characters and how their story played out. Nicole Garcia did a great job capturing some of the struggles soldiers face returning home after serving, the injuries and PTSD. I highly recommend this heartfelt story, there is drama, some angst and hot romance. Thank you Nicole Garcia for the emotional rollercoaster ride and another great & entertaining story.

I listened to the Audible edition, narrated by the talented Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross. They bring the characters to life, give each their own voice and personality. You can hear how much heart they put into their performance while projecting the emotions of the characters. They are entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thanks for another great listen🎧

Thank you 🎧@AudiobookObsession #AudiobookObsession #AudiobookObsessionReviewer

What a sweet story!!

Nicole Garcia is a favorite of mine. Her stories are always fun to read, and they are always pertinent. Savanna has loves Billy for a long time, but he broke her heart when he left for boot camp.

Billy lives Savanna, but he breaks it off because of where he’s going and what he’s doing. He doesn’t want her to suffer if something happens to him. But she has suffered, every day.

Four years later, he returns... she didn’t know he’s coming, and no one knew he’s been injured.

Will they still be in love and find the way back to each other?? Has Savanna moved on?? This book is well worth the listen! Kai and Wen Toss are awesome... as usual!!
