Action packed with great plot twists!

**Audiobook Review**

“Rebel Heart” is an action-packed and heartfelt story that has all kinds of plot twists that kept me listening as I fell in love with Nash and Parker’s second chance at love.

When Nash and Parker meet, it was almost an instant love for them. But one thing stood in their way, Parker was marrying Nash’s brother, Tyler. Nash and Tyler have never been on good terms and he is instantly not happy that his brother is marrying Parker. Fast forward six years later, Parker is ready to leave Tyler after too many lies. Nash comes to help her. Parker, however, needs to live on her father’s estate to fulfill the terms of his will so she can get her inheritance. But through a work connection, the two are brought back together. And Tyler is not happy about it.

This story pulled me in from the beginning and had so many twists and turns that I could not stop listening. It’s not a weird love triangle, it’s about two people finding each other at the wrong time under different circumstances. Nash is the good guy who you would want in your corner and will always have your back. I loved how he was instantly there for Parker and never tried to push her into anything she wasn’t emotionally ready for. I loved Parker from the beginning and how hard she worked to stand on her own two feet again after leaving Tyler. And her rebuilding her relationship with her family was special.

Joe Arden and Lucy Rivers were so great as Nash and Parker. Their characters are emotional and they did such an amazing job bringing all the events to life. Joe Arden was great as the growly protector and Lucy Rivers portrayed Parker perfectly.

Nash and Parker are 🔥🔥🔥

“The day my brother got married was the worst day of my life.” - Nash

This story was performed by, Joe Arden (Nash) and Lucy Rivers (Parker), and together they delivered a 🔥 performance that had me listening well into the night! 🫠

This is a second-chance romance with suspense, plot twists, angst, and steamy moments between two people who battle to defy fate.

Nash first meets Parker on her wedding day when she is about to marry his brother, the man she believes is her forever love. There is an instant attraction and a chaste exchange between Parker and Nash that neither can forget......

After a few years of marriage, Parker learns that her husband isn’t the man she thought he was and turns to Nash for help to return home to her family's safety at Sawyers Bend.

Will Parker find her one true love? Will Nash win the battle to do the right thing?

Well, I won't kiss and tell!! 😉

I confess I was a newbie to Ivy Layne’s work, but not anymore! Book 4 of the Hearts of Sawyers Bend series, Rebel Heart, has me hooked and burning up the pages of the other books in this fantastic series!

Having not read the earlier books in the series didn't hinder my reading/listening pleasure; however, I've read other reviewers recommend starting at book 1 to fully immerse yourself with all of the characters that feature in the series.

Caution: This series is an addiction of the heart so get ready to “just one more chapter” your way into the night!

“Nash had saved me. More than once” - Parker

Loved Nash and Parker!

Rebel Heart by Ivy Layne was a suspenseful and steamy romantic ride that captivated my heart from start to finish. Parker and Nash have a pretty complicated love story, but when they finally overcome the challenging obstacles and find a way to be together indeed, the sparks do fly! This is book four of The Hearts of Sawyers Bend Series but can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

Joe Arden and Lucy Rivers narrate this audiobook and are both spot-on bringing Parker and Nash to life. Joe's performance of Nash was charming and protective which of course made him swoony and hard not to fall for. Lucy did a great job portraying all of Parker's vulnerabilities, past pain, and determination to start fresh and love Nash. Both narrators did a great job showcasing Nash and Parker's undeniable chemistry.

Overall, I enjoyed this audiobook! It was full of suspense, danger, spice, and of course a HEA that made my heart happy. I'm looking forward to more from Ivy Layne.

The mystery of who killed the father.

I like the full story of each sibling life with no cliff hanger and happy ending for each so far.

Suspense +Family Drama = One Hot Romance !!!

Trigger Warning ~ Domestic violence


In this story we have a triangle of two brothers and one woman. Nash has strong feelings for his brother’s wife. Even though these books can be read as a stand -alone, it is highly recommended to read the series to understand the character the development of both The Sawyers and The Kingsley’s.

Nash, the more levelheaded bother successful coder, who typically buries himself in work and dates occasionally nothing serious, a good son and all-around good guy who meets Parker at an inopportune time. Nash’s brother Tyler a (self-centered narcissist) marries Parker Sawyer who he has instant attraction to, many regrets as he their meeting wasn’t until the wedding. Nash and Tyler are not your typical set of brothers, there is a lot of separation in the family. Nash has set his eyes on his brother’s wife an accidental interaction changes everything between the two, and sparks fly. Time moves forward 5 years Parker’s marriage is not the loving inseparable bond it should be, and she wants to leave (divorce) Tyler. She and Nash have crossed those lines of intimacy and as expected, Nash will not stop until he makes her his ….

Death has Parker and Nash in very close company which makes it hard not seduce his brother’s wife, he tries so hard to stay clear of Parker until Nash receives a call from his mother and all hell break is unleashed (I will never tell ). Now that wheels are in motion to the first step to freedom. We are in a for a ride boys and girls with so many twists and turns.
Parker and family are also under strict confides of their murdered father’s will (Prentice Sawyer) she must be very mindful of her the moves she makes as her inheritance depends on it. Now that Parker has filed for divorce, we go from zero to 80 MPH – Tyler does what he does best being the royal pain in the asset he is, as he wants a piece of that inheritance! He will stop at nothing to duck, and dodge being served those papers. Parker is now in a phase of her life with starting over and trying to make it without leaning on her family, but the Sawyers stand together all cost. This suspenseful and steamy listen will have you on pins and needles as Parker tries navigating through this tough battle of will and determination to stand on her own. I do not want to give away too much of the story as it is truly a great listen. Join me on this journey of greed, deception, attempted murder, and love. I promise you will not be disappointed.

Narrators Joe Arden and Lucy Rivers are breathe taking with raw emotion they brought to the characters portrayed. The author Ivy Lane has wonderful character development, and she pulls you in this story from the first chapter. – Suspense -Family Drama with Fiery Passionate Romance “The Hearts of Sawyer Bend “can be read as a Standalone but recommend reading in order. I was fortunate to receive a copy of this audiobook, and this is my own opinion of the story.

It’s complicated!

The relationship between Nash and Sawyer is definitely complicated…kinda happens when she’s his soon-to-be ex-sister in law!! Great read with lots of ‘exes’ drama and some suspense. We get an HEA and that’s all that matters!
